@Xyleniqq Get her permission to publish her notebook / the whole story when she’s done.

My grandma has been catfishing scammers for six months and she's weirdly good at it. Okay so my grandma is 74 and lives alone since my grandpa died. We got her an iPad last year so she could FaceTime with the grandkids and she's become dangerously online. She got one of those typical scam messages like two months ago. The "Hey beautiful, I'm a soldier stationed overseas, let's get to know each other" type thing. We've all told her about these scams. But instead of blocking him, she decided to "play along and waste his time so he can't scam real victims." Her words. So she's been talking to "Raymond," who claims to be a 58 year-old Army medic stationed in Syria (red flag central). But my grandma has created an entire fake persona. She told him her name is Carolyn (it's Janet), she's 62 (she's 74), and she owns a "successful cupcake business" (she's retired from accounting and once burned brownies so bad we had to replace the pan). She sends him stock photos of cupcakes from Google Images. He sends her clearly stolen photos of some random handsome dude in fatigues. Here's where it gets weird: she's actually doing research. She watches YouTube videos about common scam tactics. She's in a Facebook group about scambaiting. She has a NOTEBOOK where she tracks details of their conversations so she doesn't slip up. "Raymond" recently tried to move to the "I need money for a phone to call you" phase and my grandma strung him along for THREE WEEKS with excuses. "Oh the bank was closed." "My account is frozen, something about taxes." "I sent it but maybe it went to the wrong place?" She's never sent him a cent, obviously. She's just wasting his time. The family is divided on this. My mom thinks it's hilarious. My aunt thinks grandma's losing it and this is early dementia (it's not, she's sharp as ever). My uncle thinks she's going to accidentally get doxxed. But grandma is having the time of her life. She's started messing with two other scammers. One thinks she's a wealthy widow in Miami. Another thinks she's a former pageant queen. She showed me her notebook last week and it's incredibly detailed. Different backstories, different names, relationship timelines. She's put more effort into this than I put into my actual job. I asked her why she doesn't just block them and she said, "Every minute they're talking to me is a minute they're not stealing some poor lonely person's retirement money." Which is kind of sweet? In a chaotic way? Anyway "Raymond" is getting frustrated because she won't send money and keeps changing the subject to cupcake recipes. I think he's about to give up. Grandma's already got her eye on a new scammer who claims to be a widowed oil rig worker. She's workshopping a new persona. Thinking about being a "former Vegas showgirl." I've stopped trying to talk her out of it. This is her retirement hobby now.

@DocBrownLloyd Dude. This pic scared the shit out of me.

This is for my wonderful fans. We have been there for each other, and I am so excited to share my story with you. “In My Own Time” for you by me. hachettebookgroup.com/titles/christo…

@jbeggs252 @MikeTheNavyGuy1 @USAmbCanada I can’t even watch his press conferences

@pAndrewPower @MikeTheNavyGuy1 @USAmbCanada Seems like a good idea for a movie!

OK @USAmbCanada Defend this:

@MikeTheNavyGuy1 @jbeggs252 @USAmbCanada Maybe trump is AI? I’ve never seen him in real life.

@jbeggs252 @USAmbCanada It is AI but it was posted by Trump today. Again.

@jongomm @David_Moscrop Has nothing to do with what I wrote. Kiss me arse.

@pAndrewPower @David_Moscrop This isn't a weather map it's a radar temperature map. The colours haven't changed, except they've had to add more colours in the hottest range because of climate change I hope you enjoyed these facts

…uh oh.

@AesPolitics1 Lol

Fuck off, clown, you’re done your career is over in November

@prairiecentrist He’s in a cardio crisis.

Who is he even talking to at this point?

@lionel_trolling She funded them.

They murdered your constituent

Reid: "There is an irony because [Pierre Poilievre] has this MAGA mega-obsession with projecting strength physically. The way he talks and the way he projects and all this. And yet, it does feel like such transparent insecurity because he literally does not have the ability to stop Jivani. So when he says 'degenerates,' the leader's office doesn't even have the ability or the balls to say, 'Not cool. Sorry, out of bounds.'"

I’m not reading all that. Sorry that happened to you. Or congratulations or whatever.

Reminder to all the conspiracy theorists claiming Georgia had hacked voting machines: Georgia uses paper ballots. You cannot hack paper.

Trump backs away from plan to charge fees in the Strait of Hormuz as attacks intensify. Hmm. This is new. Our laser-focused leader has reversed direction again. Full steam ahead, Mr. President, or wherever you’re heading. yahoo.com/news/world/art…

@David_Moscrop The weather won’t chicken out…

Not sure what’ll get us first, the weather or the Yankees.

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite that RFK Je. directed the CDC to stop monitoring. But at least now my county courthouse is flying the Confederate flag again.
