"You can't be expected to have a successful AI programme, when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for...Gee, I read a book I'm supposed to pay." Trump has supercharged the AI kleptocrats & betrayed U.S creators.

Wow. The trailer for the incredible FOR EMMA by Ewan Morrison has landed. Coming March 2025.

HEADS UP - Kieran Hurley presented by Disaster Plan 2 Aug, 8pm Multi-award-winner Kieran Hurley weaves a picture of a familiar city at its moment of destruction, asking what would we do if we found ourselves at the end of our world as we know it. 🎟️ bit.ly/3ZOql91

A stunning review by SPEN board member, Jim Aitken, of the remarkable book, We Are not Numbers. A collection of work by young writers from #Gaza, Aitken rightly describes it as 'the most important book of the year'. (1) bit.ly/458DaxP

Remember when people said "The Metaverse" would revolutionise everything? Total losses so far - $45+ billion Meta laid off 21,000+ employees in 2022-23 due to Metaverse overinvestment. No technology is fated. We decide which technology gets put back in the box.
Mohammed Moussa, poet, editor, and the founder of the Gaza Poets Society.
