What’s the date on this one?

Eta: January 24 1908. So sometime in 1908 he gave up the demon drink.

They’re all pretty good, he’s the grumpy curmudgeon in us who wants to overreact to everything that annoys us. They’re cathartic

People look at you funny when you tell them you don’t drink. It’s weird how normalized it is

Given the toxicity of alcohol it is amazing how blasé we have become. The legal status of most drugs is completely irrational. High quality education, healthcare and harm reduction policies are the only sane and humane choices.

I just realized what the vase-like thing on the left is and now I am feeling slightly nauseous thinking about it.

Wild times, and only just a hundred years ago…

Now I’m intrigued. It is the waiter’s carafe, isn’t it? But if I’m right, what’s wild about it? So I must be wrong?

It’s a spittoon.

People used to chew tobacco and then occasionally spit into these.

So this would be filled with a brown soup of saliva with soaked tobacco remains distributed in it.
