It's really funny in America "hey, lets think about some form of gun control due to mass shootings and such" "NO! That's a slippery slope that leads to tyranny and stripping us of our rights!" vs. "hey, let's make it so some people can't vote" or "hey, let's ignore the rules and strip press of white house credentials if they offend the President" "Eh, it's no biggie. We're America, nothing can go wrong with this. Just Fake News."

And Trump is tweeting he wants to take funding away from California due to "mismanagement" of the wildfires... ABC News - Trump threatens to pull federal funding for California wildfires due to 'gross mismanagement'

I took a pause in Deadfire a couple of months ago, planning to get back into it once the first two DLC's had been released. I don't know why, but I'm struggling to get back into it. I'd done most of the initial Neketaka visit and gained the extra companions there, but eh, for some reason I'm finding it hard to stir the enthusiasm to go back. Which is somewhat irritating.

Well this is likely to add to a few tensions Black security guard caught a shooting suspect, the police arrive, and shoot the security guard.

Alas. And besides Stan Lee, we also have the passing of Douglas Rain. Douglas Rain, the voice of HAL, passes at 90 https://youtu.be/ARJ8cAGm6JE

I do think one of the flaws is the nature of all opportunities / problems needing to be handled by the first of the next month, regardless of when they actually appear. So you can have nothing, then on the 29th / 30th, you suddenly get a couple. But if you're not paying attention to the kingdom then, or have the needed advisors busy with other things you're just screwed. I mean, fine, have an x day counter for each problem can make sense, depending on the problem But having it automatically be the first day of the next month without thought of when the problem actually appears is annoying.

Out of curiosity I watched a couple of episodes of season 3 Lethal Weapon. Sean William Scott showcasing he's actually more than Stifler or the Goon. He's definitely grown up as an actor and is surprisingly good in that replacement role.

A Long Way Down. An interesting blend of pathos, drama, humour around 4 strangers who meet when they all pick the same rooftop to jump from on new years eve, then forming a pact to not actually suicide before Valentine's Day which leads to them turning into an almost family as they help each other deal with life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyhfZZupU7c

Why I won't enter the WOTC contest and why you shouldn't either

Dead brothel owner and reality tv star wins Nevada assembly seat A man who died last month won a heavily GOP state legislative district. Apparently, the people there preferred to vote for a dead guy rather than a democrat....

Hm, I know there are a whole bunch of faction quests that turn up, like "finding the pathfinders", "honor and duty" etc, because I had them show in my first attempt at playing the game. However now it's my second run through with the current bug fixes, and although I've reached Pitax, none of those quests have shown. I'm pondering if I've missed something, if there's some specific actions you take that cause them to kick off or if its just another weird bug.

Suddenly had a mass of things appear under Projects on my Kingdom page. Didn't realise until after I'd started several that they were actually Region Upgrades, and the moment you finished one it would lock out the option to do the others. Would have been nice if something had actually highlighted that first...

Percolately - Antarctica's First Attempted Murder

“Why does your sword have those things in the middle of the blade?” “It’s called a stabacus. It helps me with math problems.” “What kind of math do you do with a sword?!” “Long division.”

Space - Aercibo Observatory celebrates 55th anniversary

And apparently... The Hitmans Bodyguard 2.. Or as they are apparently calling it, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is going into motion. And yes, they have got Samuel L Jackson, Ryan Reynolds, and Salma Hayek back together for it.
