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.

If you want to keep up with how the Trumpist dissolution of constitutional government is impacting the CRM industry, one source is the regular ACRA "Your Congress in Action" series. It's sort of hidden under the "ACRASPHERE" tab on the website, no account required. 🏺 acra-crm.org/your-congres...

The legacy media was quick to defend Fox in 2009 when it thought Obama was being mean. Today with the AP? Crickets. The difference is that media orgs knew they had nothing to fear from Obama, so protesting was free. Making a stink over the AP today might actually cost them something.

Everything thing is fucking awful but it is kinda funny imagining Matt Gaetz sitting at home and watching an unqualified tv host, a Russian mole, and whatever the fuck RFKjr Is, all get senate approval.

For folks interested in learning more about the fascism + ancient Rome stuff, I definitely recommend starting historically (oops, banned word!) with a look at Mussolini's obsession with ancient Rome and his fascist uses of archaeological propaganda. 🏺 This article is a good little read:

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

Any further staff cuts to the National Weather Service “means we have a higher — maybe much higher — probability of missing life-saving weather warnings and giving people the heads up they need,” former AMS president/frmr NOAA official Mary Glackin told me. www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/w...

Is there such a lack of unqualified, spineless, fascist, bootlickers, that they have to double up on jobs?

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

The previous Jurassic World movies were so disappointing because there was a germ of a truly interesting idea there, that they almost completely ignored. This doesn't even look like they tried to come up with an idea. I guess at least there's no Chris Pratt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zjw...

I think you mean that he plans to illegally occupy another nation's territory, ethnically cleanse it, and then profit from the atrocity. You make it sound like he's using eminent domain to open a beachside resort.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
