The book is fun to read, I admit, albeit too rambly for my tastes.

I'm trying to understand why the story has become so iconic because the book was a commercial failure in its time and was critically divisive. It seems that literary scholars around 1930 reinvigorated interest in the book but why were they so interested in Melville specifically? Why did Stanley Thomas Williams supervise 12 dissertations on Melville? Is the specific taste of a single influential dude from the 1930's singlehandedly responsible for turning the book into the "great American novel"? Who gets to have their work remembered?

Shout outs to that time when I was at Cornell University and I worked at the dining hall and met a chef in the kitchen who was a former chef for Donald Trump, and the first thing he insisted on making sure I understand was that Donald Trump was the worst human being he ever met

there's something poetic about how Drake said he was "one away from Michael [Jackson]" and then Kendrick's superb owl performance is now the most-watched superb owl performance of all time, beating the record formerly held by Michael Jackson
