A church group in my city is building a housing complex and it’s called Adonai homes. This has been bugging me, but I don’t know a lot about Christianity so maybe they use this term also? But even so, isn’t it strange to name a housing complex G-d?

Yes. It’s very strange and even stranger to call them “name that someone else calls God instead of the Tetragrammaton” since that word doesn’t even literally mean God, it’s a honorific placeholder for the name of God that we don’t say. But none of it makes any sense if it’s not your language.

I'm a professor of English and there is a rule against using the word "charismatic" in the same sentence as "Dershowitz". Perhaps she needs an editor.

Trump should’ve been court martialed and tried for sedition and treason after January 6. And every day since.

(not that many of us would have worked with him after that one piece but STILL)
