The trailer for the latest iteration of Kill Team shows Kriegers fighting Orks… which heavily implies Plastic Death Korps of Krieg in the pipeline. I’d initially thought them to be Steel Legion, which would also make sense fighting Orks. But either way, I don’t have enough spare money but want the plastic…
I mean a kill team starter box isn’t going to have resin in it, and if they’re rolling out Kriegers versus Kommandos, that implies plastic Death Korps, even if just the kill team minis.

I’m consistently impressed by the quality of the graphics in these trailers/”movies”. I am baffled as to why there aren’t more movies made using this technology,
I might have to consider it. But if the box contains scenery, what then? At least a few of them have.

Certainly, lets first see what comes in the box (and how many fingers and toes GW wants for it) before we go all in. I’m mostly interested in the minis though. After the buyer’s remorse over the old Warhammer Castle (it’s still in my storage unit somewhere), I make my own scenery. I still shudder upon remembering GW charged a pretty penny for folding cardboard scenery that had previously been available as cardstock sheets in White Dwarf Magazine.
Well, Orks are canonically Cockney-voiced hooligans.

There is no more gradual. This has all been by design in major cities, and the plan is to export it to the suburbs.
Correct. Notice where the CRT fights are happening. Hint, hint, it’s not in Big City Public High School #271. It’s in the wealthy suburban school districts.
The left has found what they believe to be a winning formula for blueifying the suburbs.
1) import leftists into community institutions like schools and local government
2) increase the ratio of multi-family housing to allow the import of people who couldn’t otherwise afford to live there
3) target soccer moms heavily with indoctrination campaigns and social media influencers
4) start establishing vote harvesting programs like exist in the cities
The US military consists of 1.3 million active-duty personnel and yet it can’t leave 2,500 troops in Afghanistan? To use a trademark Biden expression: C’mon man!

“In today’s American politics”
Being “socially liberal” means forcing the deplorables to bend the knee.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is a complete nothing. “Do unto others, good and hard” is more like it.
The liberal label has been completely skinsuited by Marxist progressives. To the point where they don’t even use it any more. They are just “progressives”, and hope you don’t notice the Marxist part.
Yup. Turns out that you actually have to rely on a working moral compass to detect and refute authoritarianism.
From an article I wrote in 2018 on the topic:
However, [social liberalism] is ineffective in two ways. First, people, even [social liberals] , tend to have a line drawn in the sand where they shift from relativistic deference to the individual to a more absolutist stance. For example, Cosmotarians tend to be [social liberals] up to the point where their particular identity politics ox is gored. Second, [social liberalism] gives no answer to Cultural Marxism. [Cosmotarians] are either forced to kowtow to the virulent left, or they end up drifting authoritarian.

Well, this is a week that just keeps on giving. Just found Pharoh Ants in my house.
Dammit.
At least it’s not mice. Ordered some bait traps to try and kill the nests.
I had some good results using this gel bait. After putting it out, a couple days later, no more ants in the house.
These are my go-to. Cheap enough to buy a few, effective enough to clear up an infestation in a couple days. No mess, no nuthin.
I use the Terro all the time too. They work better than anything else ive tried.
I ordered their easier to clean up traps that worked back in 2016 and gave me several years of ant-free abode from that application.
Just sayin…
I am liking this
I don’t think that would do so well inside the house against 1-2mm ants. I’d lose too much house in the process.
I didn’t say it was a smart plan.
I’m sure you’d be safer.
I love that they have a bulk discount. Who doesn’t need several flamethrowers around the house?
