It's been an absolutely brutal few days for small businesses in Aberdeen. What can be done to turn this around?

Getting word that amazing Aberdeen comics shop Plan 9 is closing this weekend. Utterly heartbroken if this is the case. My visits there have always been a highlight of my week. Horrible news for any comic fans in the city…
Weirdly, only yesterday I messaged Bandcamp asking that they give the ability to filter out self-confessed AI music. As someone who has found it increasing difficult to wade through the sea of AI dirges (especially when I was looking for new Christmas songs this year), this is great news.
We’re articulating our approach to generative AI so musicians can keep making music and fans can trust the music they find on Bandcamp.

Due to the continued conditions out on the roads, I’m afraid there will be no Cruise Control on SHMUFM this evening. Hopefully normal service will be resumed next week.
