Sorry to those of you who've already RSVPd! Quite a few, I see :)

This is a great read. @dan-bean.bsky.social and @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com are so thoughtful in their approach to releasing music, "ambient", psychedelia, release perfectionism ("it's a curse") vs fluidity.

Imagine the impact we could have on the housing crisis if towns all over Ireland became hubs for remote workers.
Instead of trying to squeeze everyone into Dublin we could reinvigorate towns that have seen young people leave in droves #spéirgorm

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.
