I feel sorry for people who visit London and don’t eat the Indian food

One of my biggest frustrations with my fellow Americans is the belief that we're somehow exempt from history. Every evil, unspeakable thing that people have chosen to do in the past CAN happen to you! It CAN get so much worse! Study the past and don't be shocked that violence can come for anyone.

i want to see this energy and not a scintilla less

all thirst traps are inherently embarrassing on some level but it's unbearably cringe when a guy flexes his biceps (sorry)... but I also kind of love people who do it anyway

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right argues @garethwatkins.bsky.social newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

the most chilling thing about this website is when people with otherwise interesting accounts suddenly start posting about sports

We are in a dangerous time but here are two important facts: 1. Trump's base of support is a minority. 2. That base is going to shrink as his agenda is enacted. The opposition is the majority. No moping allowed. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

RIP Carlos Diegues. I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with him as his Portuguese interpreter during his retrospective at Film at Lincoln Center in 2013. Great artist and lovely person.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

These people are fundamentally cowards, just something to keep in mind.

I'm always saying, we need a competition model grounded in validated impact data and driven by sports fandom, where football clubs compete not only on the pitch, but in how effectively they improve maternal health outcomes in their communities!

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

It's true, Cameron was the first Grimes skeptic and he was absolutely right

Each day there is more evidence to support the thesis that Twin Peaks: The Return was the last time anything was good. Reality’s swan song.

There is so much to battle right now, but I'd say the first item on the agenda is that an unelected tech bro has been given the keys to the car.

Long day + brain fried, decided to watch PARADISE in the hopes of seeing Sterling K Brown gratuitously shirtless… lo and behold I got what I came for in less than ONE MINUTE!

This is so goddamn funny

The day after David Lynch’s passing, Patrick Fischler answered all our questions about the diner scene in David Lynch’s ‘Mulholland Drive’: ‘The dread just came to me. I can feel it in my chest right now.’

Was trying to remember why I had mentally bookmarked him and it was because last summer Colombian tabloids spread a rumor he was having an affair with Linda Yepes, a transgender newscaster. Not only did he refuse to deny it but decried transphobia as akin to Nazism

that moment when gender is definitely an unchangable biological truth so you have to enforce it via fascistic law

movies and tv shows were more interesting when they were mostly original, standalone ideas. now we're lucky if we get a limited series adaptation of a well-received book.

In hindsight, perhaps Christopher Isherwood's THE BERLIN STORIES was not the most comforting read for what will surely be a dark week in world history...

From the r/twinpeaks reddit, apparently these are some of the pet names David Lynch used for various actors: Kyle MacLachlan - Kale Laura Dern - Tidbit Mädchen Amick - Midgekin Naomi Watts - Buttercup Nicholas Cage - Nickster Patricia Arquette - Solid Gold

This may be the most remarkable remembrance so far. It goes deeper than you might guess.

TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN Part 10

Am I late to Cosha? I had never heard of her but Bjork has been playing this song in DJ sets and it’s so good - love the album on first listen too youtu.be/cLhf4EX_Zys?...

Among many other things, David Lynch understood that there was evil lurking beneath the fabric of America. He knew how evil the atomic bomb was, and what kind of evil. I think often about episode 8 of the Return, about the creation of a metaphysical evil that stretches backwards and forwards in time

There’s some kind of career optimization coaching bro on Twitter who has translated Remains of the Day into a business book parable webinar presentation and it might be the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen

Nicolas Cage, star of David Lynch’s Wild at Heart, remembers the late director as ‘a singular genius’: ‘He will always be solid gold.” Read more tributes from Naomi Watts, Steven Spielberg, and more.

Selfie with my LOST HIGHWAY poster. RIP David Lynch!

The Glass Box sequence in The Return is proof of how little you need to make something that chills to the bone if you have filmmaking talent:

Had to stop what I was doing to process the news that David Lynch has passed. I'm actually in the middle of rewatching TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN and it feels like a miracle - like all his work, its power and mystery grows so much with each viewing. His work means so much to me; feeling genuine sorrow.

I just shouted when I saw the news. RIP to a legend

Rewatched this episode last night and good golly, what a great line #twinpeaks

Bluesky is getting its own photo-sharing app, Flashes

I agree that it almost definitely won't catch on - most people hate federated apps - but I might not mind a niche semi-private app to post photos. I'm also @mchlgbbns there in case anyone else is trying it out pixelfed.social/i/web/profil...
