tirades
Sustained angry speeches
Tirades is the plural of tirade, a long, vehement speech expressing criticism, anger, or disapproval.
A tirade is typically one-sided and emotionally charged: She launched into one of her tirades about the neighbors.
Unlike a rant, which may wander, tirades usually maintain focus on a target: His tirades against the media were legendary.
