[4/4] #PineTreeActivism Events for #January9

JAN 9, Fri 5:30-6:30PM – #FarmingtonME
Main Street (Meetinghouse Park area), Farmington, Maine

VIGIL FOR GOOD – This will be a PEACEFUL Vigil. We will come together with our candles and signs to demand justice and accountability for #ReneeWood. Her horrific murder by an ICE agent must be called out.

No guest speakers, though if anyone wants to speak they can. NOTE: We're waiting to see if we need a permit to use the park. I have mentioned it's time sensitive. If we don't hear back we will line the sidewalk with our candles ( or whatever) and as long as we don't block people from walking through we don't need any permit.

Has anyone else noticed that the new #January9 version of #ChatGPT is suddenly writing a bunch of run-on and grammatically flawed sentences? In particular, using commas where #semicolons should go? It's annoying!

That said, I may have just achieved my highest calling in life, having seized the opportunity to be #pedantic about #grammar in conversation WITH AN #AI.
