There's something I experienced with a Python script and formatting a last call list for DoorParty. I don't remember exactly what it was, I'd have to look, but it was something with Mystic's date format being incorrectly interpreted by Python, and it being a DOS-packed 32bit datetime format that screwed me up. It might be something similar in nature to what you're experiencing, because what got me about your post was I was also getting future dates in the 2030s and it should have been correct. I had to ask ChatGPT to help me with that one.

You'd think though that it would format correctly with MPL and all, but maybe it's a bit of oversight on g00's part.
