Good morning and happy Monday from New England! I'm legitimately running out of headers to start a newsletter because of how hard it is to introduce it these days. Even for me, spring break has already come and gone so there's not even much to talk about there. We are continuing through a pretty substantial period of peace, so most news has to do with business. That's something rare, I think, in the grand history of Civ so far, and it's very...

Good morning and happy Monday from New England! With Daylight Savings Kicking in, I think I'm more tired than ever so I don't think the time change necessarily helps. That doesn't help that I have to get up early today as I'm going with friends to a different place in New England at this very moment, probably.

It's always weird speaking in future/past tense in these sections, you know? As many of you probably know there's a lot to ta...

Good morning and 新年快乐 from New England! Yes, I did celebrate Lunar New Year back here at the specificlanguage household -- albeit I don't have the materials to make an Asian dinner, for myself even though I am, nor can I actually speak any Mandarin, but that's a different story altogether. I'm sure many of you are desperately awaiting how the heck I'm going to make sense of all the Civ news this week, but it's not that long. I held off on r...
