  1. I just went down a rabbit hole to find the origin of a phrase in a Japanese light novel I'm reading: 「ただ才あらば用いる」 ≈ 「ただ才のみ是れ挙げよ」 ≈ 唯才是舉. Apparently it is a Chinese idiom promoting meritocracy from a general named Cao Cao from 210 AD. Literally, it means “Only promote if there is talent.” #RealistHero #GenKoku #anime youtube.com/watch?v=8VVYhXfAbK0

  2. This was a stray thought I had while reading How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom when the MC is asked by a world superpower if he wants an invading country's leader's head as compensation. MC, who was an aspiring Japanese civil servant before being summoned to sword and fantasy world, insisted on monetary damages. #GenKoku en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_a_Re

    The situation triggered some #OpeningArguments memories in which specific performance and monetary damages came up during #T3BE bar exam questions.

  3. Today's #AniAnimal is this dog representing Aisha Udgard from "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Part 2".
    It appears during a cutaway to emphasize Aisha's dog-like loyalty.
