My take on Stratechery was "tech leaders being lecherous."

I recently encountered "Stratechery" myself somewhere and was stumped, so thanks for the clarification (definite shitmanteau). And I sympathize with all the head-pounding...

In one of your earlier posts, you critiqued another shitmanteau: "Straedgy." I couldn’t help seeing “Tragedy.”

In “Stratechery”, I see both "Straight-cherry" and "Treachery."

"Portmanteau" is a snooty, elitist, French, and cryptic-sounding word. I think "shitmanteau" is de-mystifying, apt, and hilarious.

Impressed by your Jabberwocky homage. It wrapped everything up nicely.
