Dale Partridge on Twitter writes: "Feminist media is BIG mad about me saying that women shouldn’t wear underwear (leggings and sports bras) as outerwear. As Pearl says, “It’s amazing how hard women will fight to be naked.” Immodest ladies, read 1 Tim. 2:9, repent, and follow Christ." Attached are two images.

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 using this word but apparently it didn’t exist so I’m now trying to make it a thing.

Discommunity - The experience of living in coexistence while lacking the relational bonds that provide for a sense of belonging.
Near synonyms: Alienation, disconnected

Christianity is, perhaps for most of its history, more of a cultural aesthetic than a coherent metaphysical/ethical system.

It does not disagree with atheism it manufactures disgust of atheism. This trend isn’t new. Just more explicit as Christians feel more emboldened to enact cultural violence.

Don't lie!
You don't think there are more #Traitors... You just don't want to split the prize money 4 ways!

Honestly the best TV show I’ve ever watched

When are we going to remember the raw masculinity of our ancestors? A time when Men were Men! With our bells and handkerchiefs!

This looks great and if anyone is aware of anything similar happening in London please do let me know!

If you claim to be an antipope without anyone recognising you as an antipope does this make you an antiantipope? And does this then simplify down to simply becoming a pope? Seems easier than all the priesting and conclaving faff

There have been 266 popes. the rate of intersex people is about 1.7%. so very rough maths gives us maybe about 4-5 popes as intersex. You’ve almost certainly had at least one in reality. So I don’t want to hear any anti-woke whining.

Go watch Conclave. Genuinely fantastic movie that imagines the Catholic Church not as good or evil but just deeply human with all that beauty and brokenness. The cardinals are power hungry politicians but also sympathetic. The mystery and tension is top tier too.

Big spoiler in the next post.

NO, says the subjectivist Bayesian, it belongs in minds. NO says the die-hard frequentist, it belongs in hypothetical infinite sequences. NO, says the propensity theorist, it belongs in magic metaphysical bullshit. I rejected those answers <curtain opens to reveal Logical Foundations of Probability>

Instead, we should look to history, path dependency, institutional structures, politics, and economics. For Tokyo, I think urban planning—walkability, mixed use neighborhoods, affordable real estate—all contribute to the richer media and commercial systems that feed into culture.

Twitter is dead, Long live Twitter I guess.
