He was my uncle's commanding officer.
Than doesn't have much to do with the tweets, which are great.
He was my brother-in-laws father's first cousin. There is a lot of Jimmy Stewart love in our family.
I dig that the six degrees of separation between me and Moby goes through Jimmy Stewart.
Not loving the Supergirl spoilers re: Alex, though. We still aren't done with the first season.
The even lovelier part of that Twitter thread is the number of people who a) offer to reimburse the woman for the $60 she paid to help the young girl, and then b) shift to making donations to Equality Florida when she suggests it. So wonderful.
3: I have a genealogical connection to Jimmy Stewart as well. His fourth great-grandfather is my fifth (I think fifth) great-grandfather, Fergus Moorhead one of the first settlers in Indiana County PA.
Moorhead was captured by Indians in the Revolution and ended up in Detroit. His daughter in our line married another local resident, Isaac Anderson, who was also captured by Indians (different time and place--on Ohio river near Ohio-Indiana border) and ended up in Montreal (via Detroit) but escaped and made his way back to PA. I like to imagine them trying to top each other with stories about their ordeals while his future wife st there bored.

Airport is named for him as well.
Fortunately, of course, Jimmy Stewart found it was actually perfectly practical to divide his time between his twin loves of entertaining people and bombing them. He remained in the Air Force Reserve, keeping current as a pilot of various strategic bombers during the 50s and 60s, rising to the rank of brigadier general, making the film "Strategic Air Command" in support of Curtis Le May's "airborne alert" plans (see also "Dr Strangelove" for a slightly more critical view of this strategy) and even flying on a B-52 bombing mission over Vietnam in 1966.
This reminded me of something in Supergirl season 2 that I found very depressing.
EVER SO SLIGHT SPOILER
After the election, I watched the episode where Supergirl meets the President, played by Lynda Carter, who delivers a message of tolerance. It was clearly intended for the alternate universe we all expected to wake up in on November 9th.
"Strategic Air Command" is a remarkable movie, being as ajay says about a policy issue, and in which an idealized but fully recognizable representation of LeMay as "General Hawk." Really.
Missing predicate: "appears, and dominates the action."
