In one of these stories "James Bolivar DiGriz" goes on the lam, holes up in a fully automated fast food restaurant, and only steals enough food to survive. He is never noticed by the automatons.
We old timers may prefer the read the old fashioned email broadcast. It used to be early in the AM way back when. Some years back about the time of the previous purchase it got pushed back to noon Eastern U.S. time. That was a disappointment. Always being behind the posting curve.

I suppose it never occurred to them that aliens would want to investigate the star with a mysteriously missing planet that is out of sequence?
By sharing data with a "news" service you get what you deserve! Isn't that what they do, is share?
(And here I am online on the double-entendre of wholly-owned subsidiary of a media company.)
Revelation 6:6 ?
"A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."
South of France eh? Wonder if their tendrils are also corrupting the wine industry?

You'll rake in the big bucks!
