We’ve totally destroyed the military capability that we’d like you to come and help protect people from….

An image of a Dark Angels legion Space Marine in black power armour.

A black and white photograph of a fallen tree in Burnham, cracked and crumbling on the ground.

Due to popular demand, here's every Space Marine legion from Warhammer 40,000 as a document in our collection.

I: Dark Angels

Obviously, they're this photograph of a tree in Burnham. Why this photograph?

The tree has Fallen.

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Builders sand? Get a huge bag for a couple of quid

Don’t get me wrong - given his position he’s responsible whether or not he understands what he’s saying.

I’m not looking to excuse what he’s said. Merely explaining.

To be the head of the department of war and not know the meaning is inexcusable

I would say we’re ruled by idiots and psychos but luckily I’m not American

As others have said - I expect he doesn’t really understand what it means.

But then again I would also not be surprised if he did and he meant it

I’m picturing father Dougal and near/far away….

The stupid! It burns!!!!!

There’s definitely a tail off in people at my work wanting to go - some big US trade events usually have mad scrambles to get on the list. First time that’s not happened.

Two of these panellists lost to the Greens after young voters did exactly the opposite of what this panel claims

Catapult or trebuchet?

I imagine the Iranian missiles would have a fun time targeting just any bit of the road and rendering the whole thing even more useless as well.

Missile defences for the whole stretch would be quite the stretch…

(And yes I know I’m commenting on something that’s insane to start with)

That looks sick in all the wrong/right ways

during the oil/gas crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraime it was striking how some right-wingers tried to gaslight the public into believing the *biggest* problem with their soaring bills (at the time) was green levies rather than the oil/gas price going through the roof

Confidence, for some people, is like mushrooms. The more shit that you pile on top the stronger it becomes.

He’s really bigly respecting the dead and their dignity

They’ll lie about their positions and say “well, if it had been done properly this wouldn’t have happened” or “i supported xxxxx rather than what actually happened” and their dimmer supporters will just lap it up.

Isn’t this at least the second time he’s made the trip only to be ghosted?

“In her growing confidence” - so this has been briefed by someone close to her and is intended to make her look good.

But as with many of her brainwaves - makes her look worse than if she’d just said nothing.

I hate to say it but this lives rent free in my head.

And it gets worse with each passing day when - I don’t see any cars with LBW in the number plate.

I want this to be true but I can’t handle the increasing suspicion that it’s not true.

Seriously have been thinking this for 8 months.

As though we needed any more evidence that Fox "News" is a mendacious propaganda machine and not remotely a serious journalistic enterprise.

Still, this is pretty astounding.

Have another look at their lovely little gribbly faces! How can you be grudge more of them? (Disclaimer - I’ve 40 termagants and 40 hormagaunts and I’m not painting another one of the little shits for as long as possible)

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

I can’t work out what’s it meant to be!

Unless of course it is meant to look like what we all think it does.

Starmer’s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.

The annoying tax for taking 20 blobs of neophytes instead of tens rules out GSC….

And being a pedant - your list actually has four more minis than you’ve listed: neurogaunts come in blobs of 11.

Who’d have thought being a racist twat would make reasonable people happy to stop him getting into power?

America’s evangelical pastors masters the long con and grift well before the other MAGA / alt-right aresholes did. Long ago they realised performative bullshit equals cash in the bank.
