What some refer to the "terminal lol" actually serves a very important grammatical function, a sort of copula, akin to the Japanese "desu" lol

And Racism! Don't forget good ol' American Racism, explaining the inexplicable in American History since 1619! ("Brad what about the Interstate Highway System" Oh, buckle up, friend)

This would be much funnier if there was not some rando on Facebook/Reddit even now writing a 500-word rant to this effect.

This doubles as a Georg Cantor joke (whom, I assume, would have Opinions about this chart)

Someone obfuscating the truth using statistics? And a CHART?? Well I never

I've met enough terrible parents that this does not seem impossible for a human being to believe, TBH

Because, as a sheltered undergrad in 2004, my only alternative appeared to be a History PhD program, which should tell you how depressing the prospects in academia were even 20+ years ago

There are many cards on this list which clearly have points specifically because they are part of a corner-case infinite combo rather than actually good at all on their own, and that saddens me. Save your salt for Stax pieces, people!

Man, too bad about the ball that hit the ceiling last night, luckily no other MLB ballpark has idiosyncrasies that advantage the home team. I mean could you imagine

If in doubt, throw it out. If still in doubt, that's why flamethrowers exist. #RecordsManagement #Helping!

Republicans don't actually want Milwaukee to succeed. They want to deprive it of resources, deprive it of funding, and then point their fingers and blame the city for the challenges they've chiefly caused. They don't want a thriving city. They want a political punching bag.

As I was updating my course materials for the RM class I'm teaching I had to write a disclaimer post on the LMS: "I'm using a lot of vendor-produced materials for readings, they know their stuff but never, ever forget that end of the day they're trying to sell you something"

If you find THAT depressing never ever ever look at the conference program for a records management/information governance professional association. #Yikes

Literally every sentence in this is a thing that anyone who thought about it for 2 seconds would realize about synthetic samples. Which, of course, is why the people relying on synthetic samples rely on them.

I truly have no memory of this. Possibly I used some of the drugs I learned about in DARE to wipe the horror from my recollection

As much as I *personally* use "I learned by watching you", "This is your brain on drugs" is much more famous IMO. I know, admitting I'm wrong on Bluesky, I am betraying the ideals of the platform

I'm not *necessarily* saying that you could listen to Weird Al's Angry White Boy Polka and get everything you need to know about this era of guitar-driven Pop music, but you'd definitely get about 80% of the way there www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bekl...

On a happier note, if you can't hear this even with the sound off, you haven't watched it often enough and should remedy that right now

Fearless prediction: Cubs 2-0 Phillies, then 3-1 loss to the Brewers when the bullpen remembers it's not allowed to be consistent that many games in a row. (Seriously, how good would this team be if the bullpen wasn't actual hot garbage??)

Brad Houston, Cardboard Relocation Maestro @herodotusjr.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

See, Cubs, was that so hard? (Apparently!) Now keep it up and clinch the 4 seed for some October baseball in Wrigley! (Congrats to the White Sox but it's hard to be as excited about that)

It's not so bad unless you happen to get the coach* who attempts to practice the day after a thunderstorm and every kid on the team comes home covered in mud because your practice field turned into an actual swamp. Ahem. *This story is among the reasons DLW doesn't let me coach soccer anymore

I'm not sure I've ever seen I, Claudius all the way through, which is surprising given that a) I have read and enjoyed both books multiple times, and b) my dad basically had Masterpiece Theater on all the time between 1985-1999, so I should have at least absorbed it through osmosis at some point
