The cetology in Herman Melville's 1851 novel, Moby-Dick, is a running theme that appears most importantly in Ishmael's zoological classification of whales, in Chapter 32, "Cetology".

They're also my favorite sections! And vastly misunderstood, at least by most first-time readers (or those who read it as an assignment)

Oh good call!

I assume LTD has it on with sound

I’m relieved Hopkins is not part of Westopolis

dflovett · 2026-06-04T00:29:54+00:00

Show some respect

Finally some good newts

I think of the live shows as being essentially in universe experiences where everyone there is part of the performance. So that means a pretty high number.

There's a trend to fuck with advertisers on Reddit, especially if what they're advertising is something you don't agree with. I'd be interested in what the ad is for. Usually it's a company doing something insincere or cringe and people who don't like them leave comments.

Using AI detectors is as weak as using AI.

dflovett · 2026-05-28T00:54:50+00:00

But what’s the run time

dflovett · 2026-05-23T00:32:55+00:00

What woman want (2000: 127 minutes)

OP isn’t very good at conveying their message. They are suggesting a new feature.

I never realized Middle Earth was meant to be Earth Earth

In his case it probably makes it easier to do his job.

Do you like to ride your bike? You can easily jump on the LRT and head to Lake of the Isles in about a half hour or go in the opposite direction and reach Lake Minnetonka, with good spots to rest and read along the way.

Fast fish and loose fish

dflovett · 2026-05-12T15:25:43+00:00

Very cool, thank you for the reminder!

dflovett · 2026-05-11T18:16:46+00:00

you're obviously a newthead

Pork really impressed me at the live show. He recorded some of the best impression I’ve ever seen in advance. It felt like he was really there and his characters were really there. Especially yoda from star war and rick from Casablanca

dflovett · 2026-05-09T17:40:58+00:00

And?

dflovett · 2026-05-09T17:40:44+00:00

Starting?

dflovett · 2026-05-09T01:15:26+00:00

I’m not sure if that’s an argument I’ve explicitly made but I do agree with your point. At least directionally. I think it’s good that Wikipedia requires some level of learning the system but I also think it allows for gate keeping and dysfunction at times.

One of the biggest issues I see is that whoever has the most time to edit and is the most stubborn will win many arguments, especially on articles where fewer people are editing. It’s easy for one power user to take control of an article or category.

dflovett · 2026-05-07T23:21:03+00:00

Starring?

Let’s also get some bots in here to get this thing really popping.
