Apparently TWINLESS got taken off the Sundance Film Festival online portal because of piracy. So, whenever you do get to see it, see it, because it's great! notthatrobthomas.substack.com/p/twinless-i...

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line. No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination. We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned. Subscribe to support my journalism.

My fellow Cishet white dudes: It's going to be very easy to put our heads in the sand the next two years and just look away for our own well being and sanity. But we can't just look away. Our trans friends need us. Our queer friends need us. The women in our lives need us. They can't win this alone.

Back in 2022, Jason Fuhrman wrote about the art (and stereo system) David Lynch left behind during his time at Madison's Tandem Press

All the great artists are one-of-a-kind, but David Lynch is just uniquely irreplaceable. We’ll never see anyone like him again. Not even close. What a colossal loss.

It is VERY strange to see a biopic about a British pop star in a movie theater full of Americans who mostly don't know who he is. Also, he's a monkey? open.substack.com/pub/notthatr...
