Thirty-five years ago today, David Lynch filmed his last scene as Gordon Cole in the original run of TWIN PEAKS. I unpack the hotly debated circumstances surrounding this scene's genesis in my book THE DREAMER'S PATH, which covers the entirety of Lynch's on-screen life. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GGGDFCDK

In case anyone needs moral clarity about for whom to root in the UNC-Duke match-up, a reminder that #ICE raid architect and all-around miscreant Stephen Miller went to Duke. #TarHeels

We live in terribly dystopian times, it’s true, but @theonion.com is out there just absolutely killing it every single day.

@scbwriter.bsky.social As a fellow writer around the same age, and currently dealing with one parent suffering from dementia and another with cognitive decline, I read your recent piece on memory loss and found it quite moving. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable in sharing your story.

“.. Not a single Republican member of Congress showed up to the public forum .. on the violence inflicted by federal immigration agents, featuring testimony from the brothers of Renee Good ..” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/post/206100/...

I did a ranking of every film I saw at this year's Sundance. Plus, I had some thoughts about what it means when a film festival leaves its home.

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Amidst a lot of awfulness in the world it was wonderful last night to get together with over 1,000 people to celebrate both TWIN PEAKS and David Lynch’s life. It was richly apparent how there’s a genuine sense of mutual care that seems to exist amongst folks in David’s orbit and his fans in general.

It’s National Pie Day, and you know what that means! Gordon Cole getting hopped up on massive, massive quantities, and extolling the virtues of my book THE DREAMER’S PATH, which unpacks every David Lynch acting performance — those you love and don’t even know! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-dreame...

On what would’ve been his 80th birthday, a still-heavy heart but raised (damn fine) cup of coffee to David Lynch, whose work smuggled more of the avant-garde into the mainstream than any other filmmaker. For my book THE DREAMER’S PATH, I unpack his life as a performer. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GGGDFCDK

ICE detained Purple Heart veteran William Vermie for hours at the Whipple Federal Building. He says he’s speaking out because he’s white, he has privilege and if he doesn’t use it to stand up for others, who will? That is what solidarity looks like.

One year ago today, David Lynch left us. My book THE DREAMER'S PATH, featuring 60+ interviews, unpacks his surprisingly robust life as an actor, and how this heretofore unexplored part of his enormous creative output intersects with his broader embrace of "the art life." www.amazon.com/dp/B0GGGDFCDK

This looks great. I picked up a copy of Lucky I’ve been meaning to get to for a while, and this might be the nudge I need.

Nine years ago today, November 18, 2016, David Lynch threatened Laura Dern with cooking lasagna in the Make a Film Foundation short THE BLACK GHIANDOLA, one of many projects other than TWIN PEAKS in which he acted. My book THE DREAMER'S PATH unpacks them all. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-dreame...

Don't be evil? "Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while simultaneously removing apps designed to warn local communities about the presence of ICE officers..." www.404media.co/google-has-c...

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

The only truly devestating interview you could do with Trump is a series of factual questions asked by someone with no affect: “How does a bill become a law?” “Name three countries where American troops are stationed.” “Will you be raising tariffs on Wakanda?”

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

If you haven't pulled the trigger yet on GANDOLFINI, this is far and away the lowest price I've seen for it (and, bonus, SIGNED by MEEEE) mzs.press/SIGNED-Gando...

BONO: STORIES OF SURRENDER, which I reviewed for @avclub.com, captures the inner conflict of a man who's never stopped trying to throw his arms around the world, even as he grapples with the roots, personal cost of that zealotry. www.avclub.com/bono-stories... #Cannes #FilmSky #Cannes2025 #Cannes78

15 million people could be kicked off health care, thousands of federal workers are working without pay, and working-class folks are at risk of losing critical food assistance. But the ballroom is the President's top priority.

Poll-based graffiti really feels like trenchant social commentary, and a referendum on our time.

to keep functioning a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

When I was a child, reading about the past in history books, it never occurred to me that I would, or even possibly could, grow up to live in a time this incredibly stupid and wantonly cruel.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

The entire perspective of the Trump admin, and it’s supporters, is that if you back your opposition into a corner where the choices are violence or complete submission, you can always paint the violence as antisocial, radical, and an offense to national security. The press has aided that goal.

National Coffee Day seems like a great time to announce my book THE DREAMER’S PATH, the first comprehensive look at David Lynch’s surprisingly lengthy list of credits as an actor. Featuring 70+ interviews, it covers TWIN PEAKS, LOUIE, THE CLEVELAND SHOW and much more. www.amazon.com/Dreamers-Pat...

new from @tusk81.bsky.social: Cary López Alvarado, a U.S.-born American, was days away from giving birth when she was violently restrained by masked deportation agents. She’s among several Americans filing claims against DHS, ICE, and CBP for racial profiling and civil rights violations.

For anyone on fence or just unaware, eye-opening doc IT'S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY receives a loving, astute, worthwhile unpacking from @hallwatchers.bsky.social. As someone late to singer, a line in film from Aimee Mann most piercingly highlights sensitivity, vulnerability that made him so special.

A DOJ study showing most domestic terrorism in the US comes from the far right is suddenly missing and replaced with a note saying DOJ is complying with Trump's executive order www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

In a shocking on-air moment, a “Fox and Friends” co-host said homeless people suffering from mental health issues who refuse help should be killed

A listless drama that feels like a particularly uninspired adaptation of an already middling piece of beach-read fiction, ECHO VALLEY leaves viewers trapped in the unmemorable basin of “second-screen” entertainment. www.avclub.com/echo-valley-...

Once, just once, I want to read about a sitting ovation at a film festival screening.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

Man who shut down the largest collective effort by America to help the most vulnerable people in the world, condemning millions to death, suggests that his businesses will save them donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

“My name is George Retes. I’m a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran, a U.S. citizen, and I work as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California. On July 10th, I was wrongfully detained by ICE agents while simply trying to report to work.

Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/
