CHRISTMAS! THAT MEANS YEARLIST! I hope you have people around that love you for who you are, and that 2025 will bring you love and warmth, as well as a free Palestine and the end of global fascism. SO, on that note:

Anyone here ever written a letter to your mom that you tried to cut out of your life but now have to get back to because of your dementing father? How do you avoid creating a list of grievances? Asking for a friend.

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️
4 panel comic Panel 1: An AI generated version of Purple Guy’s dead mother is speaking to him on his phone. She says “Look, darling. With AI we can be together forever” Panel 2: Purple Guy looking very upset. He asks “Do you love me, mum?” Panel 3: The disgusting AI fake mum replies “I do. Almost as much…” Panel 4: AI mum turns into an advert for online gambling. She yells: “…As I love getting 10 free spins when I sign up to pocket casino.com”

Today's track context is for JUSTICE IS NOT ENOUGH TO LEAVE THE HOUSE OF MODERNITY, the penultimate track that takes a reflective step back. Part 1 of 2 of the description.
This is part 1 of the description of Terzij de Horde's track Justice is Not Enough to Leave the House of Modernity. It is an image that reads: This track steps backward into the darkness. The track’s title was inspired by the project ‘The House That Modernity Built, which in turn drew its inspiration from Audre Lorde’s expression that ‘the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house’. A desire for justice will not provide enough strength, energy and inspiration to break humanity out of the confines of a modernity that chokes the life out of the world.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.
The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

A HAMMER TO THE GREAT MATTER OF BIRTH AND DEATH is a track about impermanence, loss of control and grief:
This image has text that provides thematic context for the song A Hammer to the Great Matter of Birth and Death, which goes as follows: A track about losing loved ones, about failing to hold on to our own lives while they slip away. The title of the track refers to the admonition that is called out in the Zen tradition: ‘Great is the matter of birth and death. Everything is impermanence, passing quickly. Be awake to every moment.’ In some Zen temples, monks hit a block of wood that has this admonition on it to call others to the meditation hall. The track is dedicated to the memory of Michiel Eikenaar, friend of the band and singer of Nihill and Dodecahedron.

We've had some excellent conversations recently (in interviews and at the album listening event) about the themes of the album's tracks, and we wanted to share these directly with you as well. We'll share context for one track each day, and make a thread:
