Hell of a speech.

BRILLIANT.

“[I]llustrator Elkanah Tisdale drew a picture map of the district as if it were a monster, with claws and a snake-like head on its long neck. It looked like a salamander, another dinner guest noted. No, a “Gerry-mander,” offered poet Richard Alsop, who often collaborated with Tisdale.”

Where Did the Term “Gerrymander” Come From? Elbridge Gerry was a powerful voice in the founding of the nation, but today he's best known for the political practice with an amphibious origin

TIL this etymology. Feel like I should have known this.

Indeed. Thank you for this reading, and for the clarity with which you’ve seen it for some time.

Excellent question for the MONSTERS who covered the marvelous Michael Jang on my block.

Would agree that Eddington is a litmus test for viewers, but that it slices in the opposite direction. I’ve never seen a film stare a political/historical reality so clearly in the face and then totally fail to reckon with it. A complete imaginative collapse, and a dangerous one, I’d argue.

Disturbing new tactics in San Francisco, but this is a community victory.

If you make me president of your university, I will find millions in cost savings by force-quitting shady EdTech contracts, & I will spend it all by giving faculty an annual budget to buy course books for their students.

Well put. Would re-emphasize the neoliberal burlesque part.
