  1. I bought the #book ‘Learn #Esperanto with #SciFi Stories’ by a #BrianSmith. What can I say? It’s not good.

    It’s supposed to be level A1, but it clearly is more advanced than that and it’s not even well written. I don’t know if Brian actually wrote the stories himself and just used an #AI for the translation or if it was all created with #ChatGPT, but in any case it’s evident that the Esperanto text was not written by a person. ☹️

  2. I’m currently working my way through all the albums I can find on Tidal by Ian Carr and Nucleus from the 1970s. I bought two of them in the 70s - ‘Roots’ and ‘Snakehips Etcetera’ - and they have been favourites since I got them about 45 years ago.

    They all hold up exceptionally well and sound almost contemporary, despite being recognisably 1970s jazz fusion. Excellent playing throughout. #jazz #JazzRock #IanCarr #BrianSmith #ChrisSpedding #RogerSellers #DaveMacrae #AllanHoldsworth
