Y'know what, that's a worthy reminder. I can't help my pessimistic reflex (are they actually receptive to learning?), but I do agree that people shouldn't be looked down upon for merely not knowing/having been exposed to something.
Also can't help but think of "the lucky 10,000" idea from xkcd.

I didn't get a *great* picture, but we saw a bald eagle on the way to church this morning.

Apparently we're at an age where we're not only excited for Halloween but we *jog* to each house. 😅😮💨

So there's this German illustrator named Dominic Mayer, and I'm realizing he's one of my favorite artists.
He's not on socials but I love his use of contrast (both in color and in themes, genres), geometry, abstractive, scale... and just *vibes,* really. All the vibes. Very much my jam.

My son (8) drew me this picture of Tyrese Haliburton hitting a shot over Chet Holmgren.
I love it. 😁 Pacers forever.

Super Mario RPG is one of those games I know is really great (among the few I've played through multiple times) yet would have difficulty explaining why.
It's really charming? It has heart. It's funny. It's not as intensive of a turn-based RPG. It's colorful? It's Mario-sorta.

Thinking about how instruction booklets used to commission original, hand-drawn artwork.
It was informative, charming, it enhanced the whole package. It was quality. It added intrigue, it bolstered theme.
Thinking about how it is the perfect historical antithesis to A.I. usage.

I still take notes at church, though I haven't been sharing them every week.
But I'll go ahead today, some points taken from a message on Psalm 70. When does Christ's arrival mean for injustice? Maranatha!
