I have a lot of stories like this from members of my family! It's not ancient history.

My uncle was also one of 9. He was in the middle and just got sent off to live with a random relative with one of his brothers. He would write MOM in stones on the lawn hoping she'd walk by and see it.

Once all 9 of my mom's family were born, her uncle started having children. 8 of them. The youngest was born in the 80s! Like this is recent history.

My mom the same. 5 girls in one bed in one room, 4 boys in one bed in the other room. Parents in a twin in a closet at the top of the stairs. The older siblings would each miss one day per week of school to take care of the younger ones not yet in school.

Any of the many dozens of Italian American WWII vets commemorated with lamppost flags in the Westchester area would be fine tbh

no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Love this show. Pretty amazing that it's not the best thing (possibly not even the second or third best thing!) that Simon's done. But might be the most rewatchable.

One of my favorite memories of all time is trick or treating with my kids and an older kid with a pillowcase full of candy running up to a neighbors porch, peeping the candy and bellowing out to his pals, FULL SIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to a bday party for a vegan kid recently. There was popcorn and fruit which is great but just left a bit to be desired for a 7yo birthday party!

Billie Bob Dylan @preludeandyodel.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

And vice versa. It is harder for a vegan host to offer food to non-vegan guests that they know the guests will enjoy.

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's

you could say that Troy Jackson is lucky that his primary opponent was Nazi-curious and his opponent in the general is Boss Tweed-level corrupt but in another, more accurate way, you could just say that Troy Jackson is reaping the fruits of being neither Nazi-curious nor Boss Tweed-level corrupt

like you hate Nancy Pelosi? That's fine. Plenty of people I respect hate Nancy Pelosi. Reasonable people can disagree. But then you don't need to make up lies about her to make that point. If you're lying about this why should I trust your independence or motives? bsky.app/profile/samd...

clipping a video to give your audience the impression that the speaker was saying the opposite of the thing they were actually saying in the longer video is just lying. don't print lies in the newspaper

this sounds awful but that’s because she’s actually mocking Trump and Mr. Smoothgroin deceptively clipped it to own the libs

TAPPER: So, it sounds as though he's saying Democrats would allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. He's also saying, of course, the war is going to end after the midterms. What's your
response?
PELOSI: Well, first of all, let's just say it's not about always responding to Donald Trump. I know that must attract advertisers, but it doesn't win the election. We have to talk about what we're going to do for the American people. Hakeem Jeffries is going to be the speaker. He is preparing how we win, how we protect the election and what we're going to do when we win.
Our country is at war. We always root for our country under any circumstance. So, let's get this done, Mr. President. You said it would take a few weeks. Clearly, you did not know what you were talking about. And you're sounding like Richard Nixon when you say you're going to end this right after the election. But okay for that.
The fact is so sad about this war because it was could've been so totally avoided. President Obama was masterful, virtuoso diplomatic accomplishment when he did the Iran nuclear agreement. And they had stopped -- we accomplished all of our goals. Except this one comes in, tears that up and now says he's going to stop the development of nuclear weapon in Iran, which he hasn't.
So, it's really sad, but our troops are in harm's way, and this is not a small potatoes thing as that person you had on the screen might refer to it. Small potatoes is not how we describe our men and women in uniform risking their lives.
So, this Iran war is taking a toll on the nation because people don't like us going to war in the first place. Second of all, it's increasing the cost of price at the pump, gasoline for farmers, increasing the price of food and groceries. So, this has an impact right at the kitchen table of the American people, in addition to not protecting the security of our country.

Ok yes!! Agree on that. Photo scene is the one Hurd said makes her the most upset that they cut. She really wanted that one. I agree that Newt's backstory is easily filled in with the scenes from regular Aliens. Like we get it. She lived there and had a family. Of course she did!

JC didn't have final cut on Aliens! Directors cut is much longer (but ... overall better imo)

Billie Bob Dylan @preludeandyodel.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I went to a screening of Aliens director's cut with q&a w Gale Ann Hurd (the producer) last week and she said that the stuff they were forced to cut from Aliens made JC so mad that he contracted from then on to have final say on cuts. And that's how we got 45 hours of avatar ...

Just saw a screening of Aliens with a q&a with Gale Ann Hurd afterwards and she talked about this a lot. Imagining aliens without miniatures is no fun.

seems like a good time to remind people that Niemöller (the author of the confession memorialized in the "First they came for the Communists" poem) was a Hitler supporter, and made that confession after spending time in the Dachau concentration camp
