screeds
Long angry speeches
Screeds are long, tedious pieces of writing or speech—typically angry, ranting, or preachy: He published another screed about political correctness.
The word carries a dismissive tone, suggesting the content is more rant than reasoned argument.
In construction, a screed is a strip of material used as a guide for leveling concrete or plaster, or the tool used to smooth it.
