“[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.”

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

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

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.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

The Onion NYT ad. The headline of the editorial says “CONGRESS, NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR NATION NEEDS YOUR COWARDICE”

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

El Tecolote Newsroom @eltecolotesf.bsky.social · Jun 14

Last night, federal immigration officials sent text messages instructing immigrants to appear at an unmarked ICE office at 478 Tehama Street this weekend — an unusual move outside standard weekday operations.

In response, hundreds of community members gathered at 7 a.m. to protest.
