š§ After a stroke, itās not just moving again, itās about speaking, remembering, connecting which is why I support @InteractStroke a UK charity that sends professional actors into hospitals, stroke clubs AND homes to read, listen & lift spirits for stroke survivors.

Andy Street, Tory West Midlands mayor until 2024, said Handsworth was in fact very well integrated, with a mixture of south Asian, black and white residents as well as other ethnic groups living alongside each other.
āPutting it bluntly, Robert is wrong,ā he told @BBCNewsnight. āHandsworth, itās come a hell of a long way in the 40 years since the last civil disturbances there and itās actually a very integrated place.ā

Swing State by Mark Graham
Donald went to Bethpage Black
To watch the Ryder Cup
He thought heād help the US side
Perform by showing up
But television coverage
Makes playing Trump style tough
āCos lots of eyes will witness
When you kick it from the rough

The parting shot is cold and haunting. "You aren't going to lose your job to AI. You're going to use your job to someone who knows how to use AI."
AI is a grift that harvests the work and legacy of artists for quick return and profit, while the workforce it exploits starves.

"It's terrifying."
šØ AUDIO ARTISTS LIVING IN FEAR OF AI
This weekend's article in The Telegraph, featuring @EquityAudio's @MarcusHutton and @EquityUK Screen & New Media's #LaurenceBouvard.
Thank you to both for highlighting this issue so eloquently.
