Cordwainer Smith.
Imagine looking at your newborn baby and saying, “Yeah…you look like a Cordwainer.”
“Cordwainer. CORDWAINER! LEAVE BASKETWEAVER ALONE AND COME AND HELP OYSTERSHUCKER THIS MINUTE!”

Are all BoingBoing articles so scant on content these days?
Sad but true. When BoingBoing first started there were some nice long articles that would make it into the feed, proper journalism mixed in with the fluff.
Like for example, https://boingboing.net/profits_of_fear.html
Things just kept getting more “short form” until I stopped visiting entirely. Damn shame
