Delightful #fiction with coffee to taste ... A Misty Istanbul Night by Miss Insomniac medium.com/lit-up/a-mis...

“The idea that all this work and dedication and honing skills was ­ultimately just to make tech billionaires even richer – it makes me feel sick, angry and depressed.” When it comes to the creative industries AI is the ultimate in disruption--a new monopoly of creation, without paying the creators.

Slow Reading Poetry Project, 2025-02-19 paulpearson.ca/the-blog/ Today’s striking line of #slowread #poetry is by Raquel Salas Rivera.

I can never work out whether the book banners have no sense of irony, or are doing it on purpose. eg. 1984, Brave New World, Anne Frank ... Fahrenheit 451 isn't on this list, but has been on others. Anyhow, if you're looking for something to read ...

Big bro shared this on FB, looks good, let's go for it :)
