This is a wonderfully scathing assessment of the NYT Book Review. Every fief in that kingdom seems to be ruled by a problematic figure.

A lot of it has faded, to be sure. But this, by Jefferson--standing tall, inscribed in his memorial--speaks down through the ages, and inviting a nation that needs to hear it, to choose a better future for itself, unshackled by any laws or institutions that fail to move us forward to a better future

The Voyager probes each have a small metal plate with engravings on them: a nude man and woman, the layout of the solar system, etc. In a way, it's a dense single-panel comic. The two probes will be far, far away by the time the Sun reaches red giant stage. Comics will outlast the Sun.

They could be putting all this energy into calling for Alito and Thomas to step down. Demanding Durbin and Schumer call them before the Judiciary Committee. Writing every day about their corruption. Ringing the alarm bells about the immunity ruling. But no. They don't want that.

I typically teach the 1818 version, as the 1831 lessens the incest bits (Victor’s mother insisting he marry his adopted “sister”) and is a little more flowery throughout—I prefer some of the starkness of the original. Overview here: stanforddaily.com/2018/11/29/f...

Trump raped a woman, was revealed as being in constant contact with a sex trafficker, stole nuclear secrets, is old, forged electoral certificates, was convicted of 34 felonies, committed fraud, is literally on the Saudi payroll, sent a mob to hang his VP but the opponent is also old.

The “gag strip,” a short comic strip common in newspapers, is sometimes viewed as a simplistic form of humor. Yet gag strips are considerably more complex than they’re often given credit for, due in part to comics’ unique representations of space & time. 1/12 #ComicsStudies

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

A useful correction from the thread below: these sort of texts have uses for language learners in various contexts, including ESL and for incarcerated readers. Very good to know!

I always wondered if that was the pitch, since it is co-branded with Pearson. If I do something on it, I’ll look into what else was in this line and see if can suss out how it was marketed.
