Not specific to the Ellis Island discussion, but census records absolutely had an "eh, close enough" approach to spelling to make genealogical research interesting

The situation is escalating!

Four kittens on a patio at the edge of a green lawn around bowls of food and water, all with gray tabby markings and white chests and bellies. One, with comically large ears, is looking directly at the photographer.

But when it comes to it, if it comes to it, in that awful moment of decision, yes, you will want the old grandmas and grandpas at the front, as many of them as you can get, so those terribly young fellows with the rifles understand what a wicked, awful thing is being asked of them.

The problem is less that Americans "want" to buy cheap things than that wages have not kept up with inflation. Sure, buy a couple of "timeless pieces," but if you need a full work wardrobe and it costs 8-10% of your gross income... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Vintage doesn't address the issue of availability of larger sizes

I went out to a bar on my 21st birthday, the bartender was my high school social studies teacher, and at some point my dad dropped in.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

In the spirit of manifesting what I want to see in the world, perhaps the midterms produce an impeachment-ready Congress, and the end comes sooner than expected

I like it when there are a bunch of people on here talking about a sporting event that I'm not watching.

It's like seeing a flock of pigeons eating a smashed sidewalk donut together. I'm not partaking, but you guys dig in.

I will never stop saying that I did everything "right" by trad standards - married my high school sweetheart, stayed married for 22 years. Turns out he had a secret second family. The percentage of women 45+ who are divorced has skyrocketed. You need to be able to take care of yourself (and kids).

Yes, I challenge someone to explain how Buffalo is culturally distinct from Rochester, for example. As a New Yorker transplanted to the actual Midwest, I don't see how Buffalo is Midwestern.
