Sauúti Terrors UK Book Tour 👌🏾@sauutiverse.bsky.social, @flametree.bsky.social, @nuzo.bsky.social, @andrewhook.bsky.social , @stephenembleton.bsky.social

me in any conversation about anything lately:

A lot of this really is that beloved friend, with the worst taste conceivable, convinced they've generated a masterpiece.

This one? www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8dc...

When I see, don't take my word for it. Just try it! Prompt it with your latest work and see how sophisticated it is. All I see is feed the machine your best ideas so it can rip you off, help if rip off all your friends IP, and waste a bunch of electricity and water for shits and giggles.

Can't stop thinking about that YT video where the dude asked people who AI generate music who their favorite AI artist is and none of them could answer. 🤣🤣🤣

Publisher: Did you make any use of GenAI? Me: Bro that manuscript tried to kill me 20 times while I was writing and editing it. I've seen the whites of its eyes as it tried to strangle the life out of me. There are horrors in life GenAI could not even begin to imagine.

What an Amazing Book Launch in London, UK! 🚀💫 Even with the cold and rain, London did not disappoint with all the love & support for Sauúti Terrors. Editors @genni.bsky.social Cheryl S. Ntumy, & @stephenembleton.bsky.social were joined by fellow Sauúti Jude Umeh reading excerpts and great Q&A.

🚀 An amazing night at the Flame Tree Press Sauúti Horrors anthology launch, where I caught @stephenembleton.bsky.social and @genni.bsky.social and met the wonderful Cheryl Ntumy and Jude Umeh. This sci-fi universe is 100% African and bursting with detail. Get it today wherever you find your books!

"Honestly I cant tell if it’s the phone, or just being older and better read, but all the propaganda has become increasingly cartoonish." thedarkcow.com/2025/12/23/t...

“Sauúti Terrors bursts at the seams with nightmares and endless possibilities. One who ventures into these tales does so at the risk of continuous delight in a unique assortment of Afrocentric worldbuilding, voices and storytelling craft.” — @suyidavies.com

Hey you! You should listen to this! thedarkcow.bandcamp.com/album/19521-...

Amazing. youtu.be/P5eEA6JvoaE?...

I was there Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago when American propaganda became a clown show.

The War on Terror 2: War on Terror Harder. thedarkcow.com/2025/12/23/t...

okay let’s try this again

This was a tough listen. Even more sinister when you consider the timing of the "ceasefire". It can be interpreted as Israel saying, we successfully destroyed and made Gaza inhospitable. Now there can be "peace". youtu.be/RO-Lor_yndM?...

Wrote about how William Gibson's Spook Country gave me memories of the early 2000s and The War on Terror, and how not much seems to have changed since. thedarkcow.com/2025/12/23/t...

I ranted. Merry Christmas. thedarkcow.com/2025/12/23/t...

Did some drums for my brother @snotnozesaleem.bsky.social for his new EP with Hester Valentine. Heat rocks from them. 🫠 snotnozesaleem.bandcamp.com/track/tartar...

This dude talking about how there could simply be a bot that transfers your feed and community to another social media platform seemlessly is such a great reminder that it doesn't have to be this way. We have the technology for the internet to be an awesome place. youtu.be/7wE8G-d7SnY?...

I guess it's Jack deJohnette all day today.

We the rats, must have our feast.

Oof forgot how fucking awesome this album is.

Consider buying my new album, also available here on cassette and CD!

Radio 4 interviewed some folks on AI yesterday and one proponent rolled out the usual 'people are scared of new technology' nonsense. People aren't scared of new tech. They're scared of the devaluation and loss of jobs, which is happening. They're scared of thirsty data centres. This isn't hard.

South Africans not believing an ANC member would take a decision for the benefit of the citizens, just as a face value statement even, is both sad and hilarious.

🎃Something real special coming out this Halloween from ZamaShort 🎃

Did some drums for my man Snotnoze Saleem on this album. Please give it a listen. Phenomenal MC and producer. illuminatedpaths.bandcamp.com/album/a-rive...

Idk how many times doing nothing led to something. It’s the downtime that starts the next push. The mind reflects and wanders and the next idea is born.

If you are attacking unarmed humanitarian aid ships with water cannons and drones, while civilians starve in the city rubble -- you are not the good guys. Anyone pretending Israel is still in the right here needs to take a long hard look at what they're supporting.

South Africa is crazy right now. Lol.

Anybody taking incendiary essays, highly critical of US and Israeli foreign policy, with a bit of sci fi, and Warren Gibson analysis thrown in?

New Between The Buried and Me. 👀

This one gets quoted in my household *at least* weekly. #StarWars #TumblrMemes #LookAtThemAnakin

For the first 40 odd years of my life, I lived under state-sanctioned oppression. The reality is that a great deal of ppl are perfectly comfortable with fascism as long as it doesn't mean them. To see blatant hate speech as "just an opinion" is the outlook of the perfectly comfortable. Same old.

Important reminder

"Free speech for me, But not for thee..."

If you missed it or haven't seen it recently, I am still adding to this starter pack.
