Hi all, this is announcement of the next monthly hour-long Future Audiences video call – a space where anyone interested in this work can come learn, ask questions, and give input on the work the Future Audiences team are doing around AI or social media experiments, or talk about their own related initiatives. Please feel free to turn up – we’re happy for anyone who wants to come talk or listen to us. You don’t need to have done anything specific within these fields, the main requirement is to be interested enough in the topic that you want to spend time in the call.

More details:

Agenda:

    1. Engaging youth on third-party video platforms:

All done for today, if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, please let me know.

Now, my favorite new article is about Monkton House :house:which was completely remodeled in the 1930s in cooperation with Salvador Dali, making it the only completed surrealist house in Britain (it has both the :kiss: Mae West lip sofa and the :lobster: Lobster Telephone!).

This is all for today, thank you for reading. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let me know.
