Ancient Romans loved their dogs. Here's what their heartbreakingly beautiful epitaphs said about them.

A quotation from Walter Raleigh

O eloquent, just, and mighty Death! whom none could advise, thou hast persuaded; what none hath dared, thou hast done; and whom all the world hath flattered, thou only hast cast out of the world and despised: thou hast drawn together all the far stretchèd greatness, all the pride, cruelty and ambition of man, and covered it all over with those two narrow words, Hic jacet!

Walter Raleigh (c. 1552-1618) English statesman, soldier, writer, explorer
The Historie of the World, in Five Bookes, Book 5, ch. 6, sec. 12 (1614)

#Epitaph (verse 2) Peter Sinfield (1969)

Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind, I see
Is in the hands of fools

It's a tiny comfort to know the current struggle with housing supply and landlords has happened before. Rebecca Rogers died in Kent, UK in 1688. Of all the things about Rebecca's life that could serve as her epitaph, she (or her family) chose to carve this on the gravestone:

"A house she hath, 'tis made of such good fashion
The tenant ne'er shall pay for reparation [repairs]
Nor will her landlord ever raise her rent
Or turn her out of doors for non-payment:
From chimney-tax this cell's forever free –
To such a house, who would not tenant be?"

Rest in power, Rebecca.

LOL #Epitaph Records drops the volume to #censor the word 'fucking' on the track 'All Or Nothing' by Pennywise on their official stream on #YouTube.

Had to replace the embed for my last post with someone who uploaded the track themselves from CD.

The Bobby Lees return with "Napoleon", their first single in two years and debut on Epitaph Records. The Woodstock trio delivers raw punk energy after coming back from hiatus. Sam Quartin's rapid-fire vocals address survival in the music industry.

The vinyl of «No One Was Driving The Car» by LA DISPUTE is mixed and mastered so well. It’s an extra pleasure listening to the album on vinyl compared to the digital album. Love it.

Anthony #Albanese is turning out to be like character in a Macbeth tragedy. He will, during his term(s) as PM, ‘strut and fret’ and then be heard no more.

No legacy, nothing to be remembered for. His #epitaph will say he came and then he left. We will forget him. He will be like the PM between remembered PMs.

He got into politics to achieve nothing. He won’t leave us in a better or safer place. He won’t have done anything for our kids future. A hollow man. We could only hope after so many years of dross and grifting we get someone better, Anthony Albanese is still a stepping stone until then. #auspol

A #question not enough people ask is whether or not the world and #society actually ought to be the way they are, whether or not there might actually be better ways of doing things, whether #traditions are #based in #evidence and #logic—or even #compassion and #dignity—and whether or not we can make life better.

The ultimate purpose of life is to live well—to pursue #wellbeing and #selfactualization. If we fail in this, we have wasted the most precious gift of all. #philosophy #epitaph #⚛️
