A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

I've been loving my time with #TrailsInTheSky and appreciate the remake bringing me into the series. I love the commitment to the traditional JRPG party formula: the mentor, the rough veteran with a heart of gold, a literal child, a secondary love interest, and of course, @matthewmercer.bsky.social

Me: It's silly that people used to look at tea leaves and the flight of birds for portents of the future.
Also me: Ooo! My latte art turned out great this morning. I'm going to have a good day today.

I'm genuinely excited to hear @dieworkwear.bsky.social 's take on this especially since he just talked about American Army uniforms.
The Swiss Guards have introduced a new uniform for nonceremonial occasions. The new black wool outfit, revealed Thursday, is a faithful rendition of a centuries-old design that went out of use in 1976.
The Swiss Guards have a new uniform. Don't worry, the iconic one remains

SO MUCH THIS.
It's why I've given my chat mods a "shoot first apologize later" policy while I'm playing games I'm excited about. I definitely don't want to know specifics, but I've gotten so many "the twist in chapter 4 is crazy!" kind of comments AND I DON'T WANT TO KNOW THAT'S WHERE A TWIST IS.

I was thumbing through some sheet music and was surprised by a note left in one. I'm used to seeing tempo notes like allegro or lento e triste. Tonight, I saw one that just said virtuoso. The composer is basically saying "play good, scrub" or "git gud."
