The senate has a standing rule never to discuss a matter on the same day when it was first introduced; all new business is deferred to the next meeting. They do this so that a man will not blurt out the first thought that occurs to him, and then devote all his energies to defending those foolish impulses, instead of considering impartially the public good. They know that some men would rather jeopardize the welfare of the state than admit to having been heedless and shortsighted — so perverse and preposterous is their sense of pride. They should have had enough foresight at the beginning to speak with prudence rather than haste.
[Quin id quoque moris habet senatus, ut nihil, quo die primum proponitur, eodem disputetur. sed in sequentem senatum differatur, ne quis ubi quod in buccam primum uenerit, temere effutierit, ea potius excogitet postea, quibus decreta tueatur sua, quam quae ex reipublicae usu sint. malitque salutis publicae, quam opinionis de se iacturam facere, peruerso quodam ac praepostero pudore, ne initio parum prospexisse uideatur. Cui prospiciendum initio fuit, ut consulto potius, quam cito loqueretur.]Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
Utopia, Book 2, ch. 3 “Of Their Magistrates” (1518 ed.) [tr. Adams (1992 ed.)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/more-thomas/85255/

First Impressions - Alien Headbutt, Chapter 1
The Premise: Pro-wrestler returns to his hometown after becoming a wrestling superstar only to find that his hometown has been overrun with aliens. Now he uses his wrestling skills to take out the aliens and find his family.
That's the premise. That's what happens in Chapter 1. He leaves his hometown, which is a tiny island of ~5,000 people, moves to Tokyo, becomes a Japanese wrestling sensation. Then he returns home to show them the belt...and aliens are there.
It ends with him getting ready to search for his family and take out any alien in the way.
Got into it real fast, but with a solid pace and a fun first chapter.
Will add it to my weekly reading.

In this video, I take a brief first look at the Tony Binns Wood fountain pen, checking out its design, materials, and overall feel straight out of the box.
I then fill the pen with Diamine Sleigh Ride ink and do a short writing sample so you can see how it performs in those first few minutes of use.

CW: Manga Spoilers: Kinato's Magic, Chapter 1
A new series dropped from Shonen Jump entitled "Kinato's Magic."
The first chapter introduces us to Kinato, a young man who is a magic user in a fantasy world. His magic is purely about rearranging mana and has been used by him and his family to for healing or physical therapy purposes. And it works well.
Throughout the first chapter, this shy man who doesn't believe in himself or his powers are worth anything realizes that he is.
A fantasy world story based around a character with low self esteem suddenly realizing that he is not just capable, but actually incredibly useful? I can get behind that.
Will check out Chapter 2.

In this video, I take a brief first look at the Wing Sung 930 fountain pen. I go over the design and initial feel of the pen, then fill it with Pure Pens People’s Charter ink and do a short writing sample to see how it performs straight out of the box.
Join me to see what I think of the Wing Sung 930 during my very first few minutes of using it, and whether this pen makes a good early impression.
