DEFENCE - remove barriers
DECRY - apply tissues
DEPORT - after de dinner
Itβs like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein
Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they donβt like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

The B in DEBT owes you nothing
They don't need anything from you. They don't care about you. I think that's the difference.

Statement from @nancyokail.bsky.social βοΈ
I hear ya
I went to bed last night wondering whether the world was going to be obliterated overnight (I don't have that thought often) ππ³
For too long I pronounced 'misled' as [mizld], i.e. past tense of 'mizzle'. I kind of prefer it to mis-led, actually.
Compoonication
I hear ya talkin
and can alternate with /t/ (and doesn't alternate with /j/, usually)
In Australian languages, it gets worse: most of them have two 'rhotics', /Ι»/ and /r/, and they behave quite differently in terms of phonotactics and alternations. /Ι»/ behaves like the other semivowels, /j/ and /w/, and can alternate with /j/, /r/ behaves like the other liquids to some extent
I have a major problem with the term 'rhotic' though, for exactly the reasons you point out: that it encompasses sounds of many different manners and places of articulation including zero
I would regard them as sound changes if by sound changes you include all realisations/reflexes of the proto-language inventory.
