Hit a few nice milestones in the month since TFIIOU(ATSTY) was released - crossed the 1000 monthly listener threshold on Spotify, made it onto some cool playlists, and racked up a few thousand streams along the way. Thank you so much for the support, and all proceeds go to @cleanaircatf.bsky.social

Has anyone else noticed grocery quality falling off this year? Produce is spoiling faster, and there are more bugs/debris in dry goods. What's the reason?
1. Cuts to the FDA and lower food quality standards?
2. Labor shortages due to an assault on the workforce?
3. Cutting corners to offset tariffs?

LIGHTNING REVIEW: @thespectralband.bsky.social - The Future is In Our Hands
A slow-burning fever dream of glockenspiel, fuzz bass, and compressed drums. The samples of Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot lecture are a poignant and ethereal meditation on our future as a species hellbent on self-destruction.
