This story about ChatGPT causing people to have harmful delusions has mind-blowing anecdotes. It's an important, alarming read.

I'm sick and tired of being unable to gig, or even go to gigs, due to the lack of COVID cautious events with sensible mitigations (masks, LFTs, ventilation etc)

I'm not the only one, and I know such events are starting to happen in the UK and elsewhere.

Thinking v srsly about putting sth together locally, but first I need to find out more.

So if you know of any COVID cautious music events anywhere in the world, please let me know.

(Pls boost?)

Spent a while this afternoon concerned that I had managed to break my camera. My many attempts at a solution (turn it off and on again, change the battery, stare at it very sternly) all came to nothing until I realised that it WAS taking photos, but was on a 12 second timer 🤦‍♀️

Here's a very patient bee I subsequently snapped, once I found the option to turn the delay off.
