I’m reliably getting the same password prompt from detroitsportsnation.c.wpstage.net. It looks like the favicon that’s being included by onebox for that story is coming from a password-protected location there.

ETA: @MarjaE thanks for reporting this, and @Nonentity thanks for the analysis.

She’s a senior Karen, far’s I can see.

What IS a “hard-left idealogue” anyhow - someone who’s not afraid to make left turns when driving and wants others to be similarly unafraid?

Friedkin’s 1980 film with Al Pacino? Wasn’t recoignized at the time as worthless schlock?
