Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weinersmith for November 10, 2022

Teacher: “We’d be a lot more positive if we didn’t have to deal with other parent’s cast-offs.”

I used to teach physics, one astronomy unit for 16 year olds had a wit of a student put his head round the door before class and ask: ‘how is the universe planning to kill us this time, sir?’

Sun going nova, supernova in the galactic region, asteroid impact, solar flare, and so on.

The fading words of the true Silent Majority. Voyager carries them into oblivion.

But we can have a really good time while we’re here, if we aren’t a bunch of tiny ricks.

Sounds pretty uplifting to me.

Dead can Dance

I’m grateful to my high school English teachers for introducing me to Eliot, Auden, John Donne, and Thomas Hardy. I’m still resentful about Melville and Hawthorne.

Death will claim us all. Timing is what’s imortant.
