I just got back from London where my teen son & I combed thru the record stores of Soho. Lemme tell you, these places were filled w/young people, loving vinyl & CDs so fire GenAI into the sun, the kids are all right. & these little home turntables, w/built in speakers & bluetooth - tech for good 💪

It really bugs me when people say 'with rights come responsibilities'. NO, they are RIGHTS, and they exist regardless of whether or not one 'deserves' them. A right is, by definition, a right. The correct saying is 'with FREEDOM comes responsibility'. This is vitally important, this distinction.

If you are not sure if you had all your vaccines, the GP can check for you UK kids can go to the GP and ask to get the vaccines they missed by using their Gillick competency rights If you have people coming to school to do flu or HPV vaccines, they will often do missed vaccines at the same time

We saw an extraordinary live gig on Fri, Courtney Hadwin & her band, at a small venue. Guitar, bass, keyboards, acoustic drums, her volcanic voice, they set the stage on fire, great rapport w/the audience, meet & greet after. No #GenAI, no hologram, will ever, EVER match that. Support live #music 🙏🙏

In hindsight perhaps letting the most antisocial techbros decide how we communicate whilst also letting them have full control over what art becomes popular with their algorithms was a terrible idea.
