I had a surreal experience yesterday, walking in the opposite direction to a horde of ppl that were headed towards an arena to see a rock covers band (seated capacity: 9,300). I was on my way to see a niche genre band play their own stuff at a grassroots venue (capacity: 110).

Hey Google Maps. While you're renaming things, you might like to consider an amendment for the USA.
Although tbf, I guess it depends a bit on whether it's the tech-bro-fascists or the christian-fascists who ultimately end up in control. 🤯

Really glad that I (finally) got round to reading 'Living Better' by @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social. The next time a work colleague says that they don't get how someone who is outwardly successful could nevertheless have a serious mental health condition, throw this book at them.
