@sdacaricatures @LaMcRogers @cooper__hodges I've seen Ted pull out his iPhone on stage recently, so against whatever odds, it does appear he's an Apple guy!

Still edging out the narrow lead over Wicca!

My favorite verified for being a subscriber to Twitter Blue, not for being notable, account.

@raqueljmentor I wanted to try and interview them. But didn't try soon enough...

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

I had put off listening because I was very familiar with the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt as well as the followup coverage from the last few years. But what the series actually turned out to be blew me away.

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

Just finished the incredible Missed Fortune podcast by @frickwright. It's S-Town meets the biggest true life treasure hunt perhaps ever. A beautiful piece of storytelling that hasn't gotten nearly enough credit.

@BArmestoLarson @Leah_Sottile @GeorgiaJCatt @CrimeWritersOn @macca_t14 @BArmestoLarson Oh thanks! I hadn't actually seen it yet. Will be very excited to listen!

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

@otter_ai your transcription plan changes are insane. I can understand pushing people toward the paid, but how can you justify making the paid plans themselves so much worse? The 10 import per month rule is horrible. And 80% fewer minutes? Time for a new service I guess...

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

@BArmestoLarson Anything to make a cold, dark lawyer heart happy!

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

@Benjaminlund Thanks Ben!

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

It still amazes me how much the perception of Portland (which, like any city, has its share of legitimate issues) differs from reality. The number of times I've had to correct people who don't live here...

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

@BArmestoLarson Oh yeah, I would definitely put Hunting Warhead up there too.

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

@BArmestoLarson It's the benchmark that I measure all other audio journalism against. So disheartening that even the best work can struggle with funding.

@anthony_bosman @spectrummag For reference, the agenda at the 2014 Annual Council that set up 2015 Session items was 268 pages long. The agenda at the 2021 Annual Council was 104 pages.

[Alex Aamodt @aamodtalex]

@anthony_bosman @spectrummag At this point, the nomination and election of leaders look to be the most significant things to expect. Other than that, there's not much that stands out, especially compared to 2015. We didn't see very many big policy items introduced for 2022 at last year's Annual Council.

Over the last several weeks, I've been following the confounding case of an Adventist scholar and retired pastor who copied the work of other academics and submitted it to journals under his own name. (1/3)

[SPECTRUM (Since 1969) @spectrummag]

An Adventist scholar and retired pastor was discovered to have copied multiple academic works, sometimes word for word, over a period of years—upending the biblical scholarship community.

Some say it's the most severe plagiarism case they've ever seen.

In my reporting, I also found some surprises. Phillip Long (@Plong42), a professor at Grace Christian University, had followed the uproar among biblical scholars on Twitter. But until I reached out, he didn't know that a book review of his own had been copied as well. (3/3)
