I have long noticed that the ancient Greeks had a compulsion to attribute everything to an inventor, often implausibly so to someone very famous; I think I have found the apotheosis of this tendency in Aristotle attributing the invention of the baby rattle to "mathematician, music theorist […]

A photo of a campaign flyer. It says "No Fun Estuardo" across the top in big red capital letters. It has a goofy looking pic of Estuardo's face surrounded by pictures of a glass of beer, a Chinese takeout carton, dodger stadium, and the coliseum, all with dollar signs imposed on them. At the bottom it says "From dodger games to concert tickets to curbside dinner pickup, Estuardo Mazariegos wants YOU to pay higher fees on just shot everything fun."

A stately voluminous vessel with a tall, ringed neck. The exterior is intricately carved with geometric patterns and an abstracted roselle calyx design. It is painted in deep iron red tones with accents of light blue and olive green. The interior is glazed glossy aqua. The background is plain, dark brown.
