Man with literal magic powers that made himself the center of humanity who has 20 superhuman sons he made out of bio goop:

All of it is laughably wrong.

Other than “lower taxes” and “stop illegal immigration” conservative policies are largely unpopular. I put these in quotes because once you start to apply nuance to those policies they become less popular. Lower taxes for who? Middle America? No, for the 1%! Stop criminals from crossing the border? No, deport the farm workers and asylum seekers that prop up American society!

This is why conservatives resort to wedge issues, propaganda, and fear mongering to stir up their base. Nothing they actually do is popular. They manipulate people into voting against their own interest or just play on their own voter’s racism.

Personally, the fear-mongering about cities is fucking insane. I’ve been to a ton of cities and never not felt safe. Are there areas that you probably shouldn’t go to? Sure, but that’s been the case for all human history. Do you have to like cities? No, but don’t act like they’re a Wild West town where people get shot and robbed at a whim.

40k does borrow from the bible a lot. Especially the Sisters of Battle pictured here. They're literally the army of the church in universe so they have a lot of units with biblical names and their models are sculpted to evoke that imagery.

Dems tried to gaslight the public like this last year. Look how that turned out.

Where’s the line for the public toilet (his grave)?

I love Star Wars and usually have a half decent time with Ubi games. You can usually pick them up for 50% off physical like a month after release.

I have never put down a game quicker than Outlaws. It’s Ubisoft open world map icon slop at its worst. The first 4 hours of story are boring and repetitive. Every mission was “sneak into an Imperial base, oh shit something went wrong! Now escape!” Progression and abilities might as well not be there.

Interest in SW isn’t waning. Companies keep making bad SW content.

Keep licking that boot corporate media.

There’s a museum near Charleston SC where they have the Hunley in a big water tank that I went to. What’s gross about the museum is that it celebrates the people who piloted it as “pioneers of submarine warfare” instead of gross traitors who sought to preserve the barbarism of slavery.

Roundabout way to say “I’m a bad parent”.

I don’t have kids but pretty sure part of being a parent and forming a bond with your child is putting effort into raising them.

The fact that they brought this back up 6 years later and made a big deal about it after everyone had kind of moved on sure looks suspicious.

It’s a fucking concentration camp. Call it what it is AP.

 

 

She didn’t quite finish writing her sermon before the battle:

 

 

Finished these guys a month or two ago and forgot to share. Got the shoulder pads from Etsy.

 

Also got a new lightbox for photos!

 

Love these goofy looking goobers.

I realized way too late in the process that I had put the back vents on crooked. Looks like I missed a spot in the arm joint too that I’ll have to go back to.

I think it’s funny that the Datasmith is lugging around his little PS2 memory cards to stick in the robots.

 

This is my last squad of Custodes for a while as they round out my army! Hoping we eventually get some plastic dreads in the future because I really enjoy this color scheme.
