Received an excellent new mug and this inscription prompted a memory of a long sequence of favorite mugs, some from almost 20 years ago. Unlike say a t-shirt or a cellphone, the end of a mug is always sudden and violent. A nice reminder that death is coming for us all. Mug-mento Mori.

I hope everyone reporting on that quote is also reporting on this

RELEVANT:

cf. David Graeber, “Debt”

There really is a paragraph about just about any topic in Moby-Dick

“I am horror-struck at this antemosaic, unsourced existence of the unspeakable terrors of the whale, which, having been before all time, must needs exist after all humane ages are over.”
—Melville, from “Moby-Dick”

Apple Music once again getting mixed up between “chill” and “literally the saddest most depressing song you’ve ever heard”

You gotta love Melville for being like: “Linnaeus classified whales as not being fish because of w, x, y, and z. But I talked to two dudes that I know and they disagreed with that.”

Freedom of Choice indeed
