Went for a bike ride today with my son rather than a hike. So here is a small waterfall from yesterday

This morning's fun. Scout day rocket launch. Thanks to Southern Area Rocketry for hosting. We had 3 successful launches in 3 attempts.

New nation was interesting, only 3 families and you have to juggle their "influence" to avoid repercussions. I kept 1 family ahead the whole time, but that choice would be interesting for the future (when I eventually get that DLC)

One more Old World report before I fire up a different game next time. Large random world (Mediterranean) Random Nation/leader - Babylon/Neb The Strong difficulty Loss on turn 148 VP - Hatti

The gentle tinkle of this small waterfall rather ruined today by the aircraft in the background.

Rome in Old World. Single Player Islands Random map. "The Strong" level (one above "The Good" I have been playing on. Simple outcome, everyone was so settled on their islands (except Persia who jumped over) that it was almost impossible to force a bridgehead. Never playing this map style again

#OldWorld Large World Random map script gave me Bay Random Nation gave me Hatti Win by 4 VP over Kush, but was sat just 1 achievement away from that type of victory. Kush was the main rival and we had one long war with no city taken.

Latest go round on the Random everything Old World. Got gifted Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar on a large single continent. (I did check where to find this in the game) Beat Greece to one tribal choke point, and nabbed a whole area from under Rome's nose.

Lets see if this works - Video showing the growth

Old World random large map - Coastal Random nation - Babylon The Strong difficulty Took the loss here. Rome was well ahead in VPs, but 3 leaders in the space of about 10 years left me with too many unexpected legacy ambitions to try top win that way.

Disability activist Alice Wong talked about cripping the world, or in her words, "to bend, compress, twist, subvert, imbue disabled wisdom into systems, institutions and cultures." Could we do it in the next hundred years, asks Laura Flanders in this week's closing commentary: bit.ly/4pxYUu2

I'd still like to have a national conversation about Earl Warren. Did you know his role in Japanese American imprisonment? Has me thinking about how much of America's short dalliance with civil rights had to do with guilt over World War II. www.patreon.com/posts/157703...

Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother was killed by an ICE agent. The Trump administration is lying about it. Evidence is being withheld from Minnesota. The cover up is already underway. There was no credible justification for force here. None. There has to be a line. When is enough enough.

And, whilst I’m heaping praise on people, the sheer inspiration of hanging out with the Irish trad lot, who play at the world class, is always amazing. These are people who, after playing to thousands, on the same night, will move heaven and earth to find a pub to play tunes in, for free. For fun.

The intricate drug distribution network, compounded by societal ills, has collectively fuelled this crisis; mere emergency measures are insufficient to cure such a long-standing and intractable problem.

Other minorities & white women not seeing the value in who we are & and our contributions isn't felt until they have to unnecessarily stand on the Frontline. Lines of wars we already fought & won. Talk about learning the hard way. 🫠

Dishonorable and grotesque actions betray patriotism. Families of January 6th victims suffer while democracy is undermined. Billions settled with Trump, above the law, while Americans struggle with gas and groceries. Unconstitutional and despicable. #January6th #Accountability #Democracy #Justice

Ok Ōtepoti Dunedin folk, any pubs open for the FIFA world cup? Like for the early morning games? The last FIFA World Cup Auckland did have a few bars that were showing some of the games eg. The Fox and one sports bar on Fort Street (that’s gone now). Hoping Dunedin does the same…😁🎉🧡
