Another good example is in 40k, the imperial guard, the indomitable human spirit and the willingness to sacrifice oneself for others, weaponized in defense of a technofeudal xenophobic empire.

I think really good grimdark is able to acknowledge the best of humanity while twisting it on its head. I.e. a gentle, welcoming touch and kind words deliberately used to spread a debilitating disease.

Amassed as the baying throngs of the Processions of the Sacred Affliction, the Leper-Pilgrims are the bloodied knuckles of Christendom.

He's a Peronist, which is...complicated. Nebulously progressive but so flexible that it's often been adopted by the Argentine right as well. It's an opportunistic ideology, just like it's namesake.

Think like an Argentinian Huey Long, if you know who that is.

Remember folks: we need you to have live kids so we can turn them into dead soldiers.

Heard this same shit before from the people who thought invading Iraq was justified. It was a con when they said it, it was still a con when this opportunist shitheel said it.

Hey, my main faction I play is ghosts. If you need any advice for list building or anything feel free to shoot me a dm

Yep, that'll do.
Now to see about some trench ghosts.

How long were you overclocking those two brain cells to pull this one out? For someone calling other people meatheads you're not very quick on the draw

That doesn't count, cause that act of mass imperialist violence didn't happen to white people and didn't interrupt their brunch

Today is Burmese New Year’s Day.

It’s the year 1388 (၁၃၈၈) of the Kawza calendar and the *sixth* new year since the military coup in Myanmar.

Once again, I pray that this year finally sees an end to the dictatorship, victory for the revolution, and peace for our land and our people 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💛

You just don't like grimdark. Which is fine, but that isn't a problem with the setting.

It reminds me a lot of the stuff people said about white South Africans during apartheid. It isn't just the cruelty system itself that drives people to oppose it, but also just how revolting and off-putting the people who support it are.

Every time I see a public figure invoking the crusades, this quote from an eyewitness account of the first crusade and the fall of Jerusalem pops into my head, one in reference to the capture of Al-Aqsa Mosque: "...the slaughter was so great that our men waded in blood up to their ankles..."

Which variant are you thinking? Base variant, shooty variant, stealthy variant, or body horror variant?

Guardrails? The moderate position is the complete dissolution of the organization and mass tribunals for DHS personnel

Very first trench crusade tournament to be hosted at the largest wargame convention in the state, tied for first, playing against the guy I'm tied with, first round I lose two troopers and an anointed to a single punt gun shot. Down to 3 models by turn 3. Lost on points. Was very demoralizing.

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED

EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH

You can play the game, be an active participant of the community, and be welcomed with open arms to official TC events without giving a single solitary cent to FF

My partner made this absolute abomination with the ikea furniture planner, so I made it into a meme

description from Huntington library: "A lithograph printed on heavy paper. Satirical "death certificate" issued for the Southern Confederacy. Mourning border, each line in different typeface, with: Died, Near the South-Side Rail Road, / on Sunday, April 9th, 1865, / The Southern Confederacy, / Aged Four Years, / Conceived in Sin, Born in iniquity, Nurtured by Tyranny, Died of / a Chronic Attack of Punch. / Abraham Lincoln, Attending Physician. / U.S. Grant, Undertaker. / Jeff Davis, Chief Mourner. Below in smaller print an epitaph that ends with: And this one line shall grace your grave-- / Your death gave freedom to the slave." https://hdl.huntington.org/digital/collection/p16003coll6/id/5033

to all who celebrate...

WE DID IT!

Our illegal union @uam-umd.bsky.social is a lot less illegal today. 12,000 contingent faculty in MD just won the right to collectively bargain. Life-changing win for teachers and students. Only happened bc thousands of people worked together to beat our bosses in the statehouse.

Holy shit the air force base might be hit by it

Tornado just passed over my house. That was fucking crazy
