Well first of all that's from the New York Post. Second my understanding is that the actual pull of Black Holes (on a relative galactic scale) not that great. Not great enough to affect us from another galaxy. So I doubt we are in a position to be consumed by it. Perhaps the x rays being sent out might affect us? But we only know the position and facing of the black hole from 657 million years ago. It's facing might have further changed in the meantime

There is nothing special about the gravitational pull of a black hole. It has pull according to its mass, just like every other object. If you have a black hole that is the mass of the earth, then about 4000 miles away from it, you'll feel a 1G pull.
If the sun was suddenly replaced by a black hole, we'd continue to orbit. We just wouldn't get any sunlight, and of course that would be an extinction event, but that's beside the point

Tho if you were to fall into the black hole, you’d be free to knock books off your daughters bookshelf in the past
