these won't be around forever. you can get the three of them via the 'three for 50 euro bundle', which is really as low as we can go pricewise. and since we've started working on the releases for 2026, your support is welcome of course.

youtu.be/FgV8X2x6xvE Highly recommend this. Devo sparked curiosity in me as a kid, and helped shape my taste in music, sense of humor, and world view. I wasn’t aware of their mission at the time, but that message was planted in my young brain, and blossomed.

We've probably been overthinking this episode: you'll hear a lot of songs/artists that we've been thinking of playing for a bit longer, but for some reason we never did. so this episode is probably a bit more eclectic than usual.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.
Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.
This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.
