seek niche and pursue it

So, I pushed all my little anthills into one dust pile because I got sick and tired of having to manually search through my colonies to find that ONE drone. 

The above post became too saturated with links. Therefore, it has become expedient to open a necessary (though inconvenient) Part II.

Separated these from the above sections because, because, because.

2026 NBA Finals - Game Five

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - JUNE 13: David Duchovny looks on before Game Five of the 2026 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks at Frost Bank Center on June 13, 2026 in San Antonio

March 1996: John: When we did our X-Files issue earlier this year, we noticed David Duchovny used long words like autoerotic asphyxiation in his interview. So, er, what is a typical David word?

Gillian Anderson: (laughs hysterically) Autoerotic asphyxiation! that is a typical David Duchovny word. Autoerotic, because it has to do with sex, and because it's long. Most of the time when I read his articles it takes me so long to decipher exactly what he's saying.

John: Does he actually talk like that?

Gillian Anderson: Yeah, he does! But mostly when he's doing interviews. I mean, I think it's because he's got such a vast knowledge of words. He's studied the theory of words. He pulls it out when it's needed most, like in interviews.

January 12, 2016: DD: We met in the anteroom before going in to read--

Kimmel: Anteroom? I haven't heard anteroom before.

DD's last comment ("I'm here to help") reminded me....

SUPPORTING ANDERSON'S SECRET

March 11, 1995: "I was so green. It was only my second time in front of a camera. I desperately needed someone to show me the ropes. And he did that. He was wonderful."

Little wonder, then, that Anderson, 25, turned to David again when she was pregnant. It was last winter, they were still in the thick of their first season in a series showing real promise, and Anderson was worried about losing her job. "I went into his trailer," she recalls, "and I said, 'David, I'm pregnant.' It looked like his knees buckled. I think he said, 'Oh, my God.' And he asked me if it was a good thing. I said, 'Yeah, it is.'" No one else knew, and Duchovny kept it that way for weeks, until Anderson was ready to tell her producers and deal with the professional consequences. "We really trust each other," Duchovny says simply.

October 1996: Other than her husband, the only person she told was Duchovny. "He is a friend and I trust him completely," she says. "And he trusts me."

Duchovny advised her not to have an abortion, telling her things would work out. And they did. He kept her secret...

INTRODUCING THE PILEGGIS

January 2000: The best thing he's got from the show is his wife-who's actually Gillian's photo double. Arlene Pileggi, who also plays a secretary on the show, married Mitch three years ago. "David Duchovny introduced us. We were sharing a scene in a café, after which Chris Carter asked her to play a waitress. We got dating and…"

- “We met in the anteroom before going in to read-”

Found a gifset (or screenshots?) from the infamous Kimmel interview where DD whipped out anteroom and GA teased that he's feeling nervous. Does anyone know where I can find it, or one like it?
