Have you heard of the Death Smog!?
The 1948 Donora Smog was the worst air pollution disaster in U.S. history. 60 people died, 1000's were sickened, and it jumpstarted the fields of environmental, public health and The Clean Air Act. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

My heartfelt suggestion for y'all today is staying offline for a few hours and doing something that brings you calm or joy. It was a long week, and it's not healthy to be constantly immersed in doomscrolling. Step away from the bullshit and replenish.

Album goes live tonight (barring last minute disaster), so here's a sneak peek at the album cover!
Rendering final versions now, then need to get everything uploaded and hopefully finish the liner notes (tho I'll launch with those incomplete if necessary).
EDIT: Alright friends, it's arrived! You can hear it here:

After more than ten years using Duolingo, I have cancelled my subscription and deleted it from my phone.
I had started to suspect that the audio pronunciations in some languages were not correct and might be AI-generated, and now their CEO’s open embrace of AI has led me to conclude that I would be better off with a more trustworthy app featuring all-human speakers.
Recommendations for a replacement are welcome.
