As this site sinks deeper into a miasma of deranged conspiracy theories, proto-fascism, racism, crypto promotion, boosted misinformation and degraded functionality, I feel less inclined to share my work here. I’ll still be around occasionally, but reach out to find me elsewhere.

@BlueRoseMag1 I had a chance to stop by David Lynch’s Hollywood Forever Cemetery memorial. The wild peacocks that roam the grounds were quite vocal during my visit, and as I walked up the digits of the time totaled seven (Lynch’s lucky number), which felt a bit like a cosmic smile. #DavidLynch

@BlueRoseMag1 @LAFilmCritics @ObnoxandAnony If no 🎯 then closest answer wins; if more than one correct answer, the Little Man From Another Place will choose winner at random. Denizens of the Black Lodge, alas, are not eligible.

I’ll pick winner Sunday, June 7, at 5pm PT. #DavidLynch #DonutDay #NationalDonutDay #TwinPeaks

I recently got a beautifully handcrafted mug whose quote, a TWIN PEAKS piece of advice from the subject of my book, helps point my morning compass north. It’s also a reminder we all need these days. Check out Ashley’s amazing work! https://t.co/No1CK3eyu9 #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

Thirty-four years ago today, May 16, 1992, David Lynch’s TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Several years ago I wrote about its reception, and long road to redemption and understanding. https://t.co/02KUDnpHuV #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

@TanyaDeSanti @BlueRoseMag1 Sharp eye! He is indeed chewing on something in that scene.

Twenty-three and nineteen years ago, respectively, OUT YONDER episodes "Teeth" and "Chicken," in which David Lynch starred with son Austin, were released. THE DREAMER'S PATH unpacks these and every Lynch on-screen performance! https://t.co/wfqKNCs05O #DavidLynch #TheDreamersPath
