Blinded by the light: ignoring useless regulation, NFT conf organizers use sterilizing UV lighting instead of blacklights. All my apes in ER. (thegoatery.dyndns.org)

this is the third UVC incident in recent years. realistically, the attendees are likely not going to fully recover their eyesight.

contrast with the cryptobro toxic positivity from the attendees quoted in the 404 article:

“Thanks for great apefest logistiscs guys @yugalabs & @BoredApeYC. Incredible event and met plenty of amazing people,” one wrote. “Still, as dozens of others, I’ve almost lost sight this night.” They suggested others get their eyes checked like they did, and said their eyes were burned by UV.
