I would love three examples of ways Rod Dreher has “been right before.”

There are dozens of these guys

Boris Johnson flanked by rival candidates, including a guy with shiny trousers and steampunk goggles, a guy in a crude Elmo costume, and Lord Binface

Literally my only complaint about @puzzmo.com: this is definitionally not an accomplishment

You and 888 players completed the Coreshift with only core words.

30 Rock. Kenneth: Well sir, I'm sorry to disagree. But l am also a white man--
Jack: No, you are not. Socio-economically speaking you are more like an inner-city latina.

Main concern is stop placement, not timing. Have those lines moved back to Pennsylvania and 14th? (See screenshot.)

@transit.app Unsure why this error in DC is persisting at this stop on this line. (The stop shifted locations slightly about a month ago.)

Dolan later recounted that on the morning of the second day of voting, he shared some peanut butter and jelly with Prevost and got to know the Chicago-born cardinal better.

In a just world, the editor who approved the punctuation in this headline would be immediately fired and their job given to me.

Aha! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western...

Although it occurs at least occasionally nationwide, T-glottalization at word boundaries, as in "right ankle", is more common in Western dialects, particularly among younger speakers and women.!"!! The use of a full (orally released) rather than syllabic pronunciation of /an/ in the sequence /-tan/, in words like "kitten" or
"mountain", is a minor but noted variant reported in the West, for example among some Californians and younger, female Utah speakers;
(12) thus, kitten as ['k"I?an] in addition to more General American ['k'I?n]; however, this feature has also been reported elsewhere in the country, like New Jersey. 131 Men and teenage girls from Utah are also slightly more likely than average to elide the /t/ altogether in these words, and Utahns as a whole are slightly less likely to glottalize the /t/ in general.

Sister Phoebe
Hi, Rep AOC! So, as a #MediaNun, this is my whole struggle too. (That's why I quit social media to protect my prayer life, and am now trying to figure out if/how to reengage.) My sisters have some helpful resources for other professionals trying to navigate this - you might be interested in the Media Fast Challenge:

This was the most rigorous citation on the first few pages of Google (not verifiable on Google Books; no library because holiday). Wikipedia makes no mention of rape, kidnapping, or murder in “Arianism,” “Arian controversy,” or the relevant bit of “Sectarian violence among Christians.”
