Houston based CRM archaeologist interested in the late 19th/early 20th century. In particular WWI training camps and conflict sites. I also sometimes have thoughts on movies, beer, and politics. You know, human culture and stuff.

I just want to live a small, peaceful life in a row home in the best city in the world, I want to eat dinner with my friends and laugh with my children and watch some tv, I want to learn and teach, and age in good health, and these motherfuckers just want to make the world burn? In my goddamn name?

You know the primaries are over because for the first time in months there's not a half dozen pieces of campaign literature coming in the mail.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

The stadium does look like an airport hanger, so I guess that tracks as well.

Hundreds pack Pacific High School for data center meetingβ€”only for it to be canceled minutes in Tension escalated at Pacific High School as a meeting on a massive Franklin County data center was abruptly canceled at the developer’s request.

This is where I grew up. It is both a deeply conservative and deeply apathetic electorate. To see this level of engagement in fighting a really gross datacenter project is sort of inspiring.

Hegseth continues to be my pick for 'member of this administration most likely to go to prison'. He's spectacularly dumb & he doesn't have the same get out of jail wealth a lot of the others have.

Alamo acquires battle-used cannon that spent decades as a birdbath A cannon used during the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, later repurposed as a birdbath on a San Antonio ranch, has been acquired by the Alamo and is now undergoing restoration.

The conservationist who gets this cannon has their work cut out for them.

"descendants had taken it, turned it muzzle down, and filled the muzzle up with concrete, and then put a bird bath on top of it,”

(fortunately A&M is very good) 🏺

The best way I've come up with to describe him to people outside Texas is as "as bigoted and fascist as the other guys, just boring about it".

I think the header on the actual story would have been better than citing an almost certainly false claim of billions to the local economy.

"The total cost of the mixed-use development...has not been revealed. Local taxpayers will foot the bill for the county’s infrastructure"

The old timey photo of Tom Hanks as the historical founder of the suburban development in the new Burbs was a particularly nice touch.

Military Historians (also archaeologists), I'm looking for good sources on the Mexican Army for the period before the Mexican American War. So far all I'm got is Depalo’s β€œMexican National Army, 1822-1852”.

John Cornyn is every bit the fascist/racist/homophobe Hunt and Paxton are. He's just boring about it, and Republican voters want someone who gets them excited about their personal prejudices.
