I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy Adam Mellion’s Substack, All Visible Objects, and his wonderfully obsessive investigations into Melville and Moby-Dick. I hadn’t heard of @PequodPod , a chapter-by-chapter deep dive into the novel, but really liked Adam’s guest appearance on the latest episode, including his discussion of the surprisingly tangled story of how Starbucks got its name, a subject he covered in an earlier All Visible Objects post I loved. All Audible Objects ; or, a coffee chat with PequodPod open.substack.com/pub/allvis…

Who do you think had the best performance in Moby Dick (1956)? Gregory Peck? Harry Andrews? Orson Welles? Leo Genn? Richard Basehart? Someone else? Check out our first Melville at the Movies bonus episode on Patreon! #melville #movies #mobydick

AI-generated text is so insipid. It's like it's underlying goal is towards mediocrity and the destruction of meaning. #noai #books #bookstagram
