Bret Stephens makes me boiling mad because his intelligence is in inverse proportion to his success and you gotta respect that.

you can use it for any kind of teacher or mentor figure

at least warren didn’t just grab some high school teacher from nagoya or wherever while they were on vacation in Boston and make them her faith advisor

I read that samurai mango Will would tweet about and it was funny because the translator was one of those literal morons so he'd translate dojo and ronin as doujou and rounin and it was really grinding my gears.

Dreher is a lunatic whose every word comes across as shitthatdidnthappen.txt. Ross is a decent stylist and a weird little turd.

Stephens is just a boring talentless monster; the only interesting thing about him is how completely out of touch he is, but even in that he's not particularly remarkable.

IIRC teachers and doctors are commonly referred to as "sensei" as both a job description and honorific title, but it's frowned upon to refer to oneself as "sensei" similar to how a judge or someone like that wouldn't normally refer to themselves as "the honorable...". There are non-sensei words one can use to refer to themselves as doctor, teacher, etc.

The Chapo media empire has to start somewhere. Speaking of which it’s way past time for Josh Androsky to stop making podcasts that crash and burn ever couple months and just franchise himself and whomever else as Chapo West.
