Really interesting how a filmmaker a lot of us have known for years as one of the kindest, best intentioned, warm hearted, talented people in the biz wins Oscars and all of a sudden he is the devil because of two totally unrelated, and both uncorroborated posts?

Many people who identify as "Christian" may find Rev. Budde's words strange and unfamiliar. That's because they're based on the philosophy espoused by Jesus.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I just got a text trying to sell me a GULF OF AMERICA t-shirt, and reader, I just fucking can't. This whole thing feels like I'm living in a goofy 90s sci-fi DEMOLITION MAN style future and not anything resembling reality. Like, I didn't even get the Fast Food Wars out of it.

Imagine what this country could accomplish if 500 billion was being invested into, oh I don’t know, making PEOPLE smarter 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

We know it's a Nazi salute. What the right wing wants is for us to work ourselves into a frenzy about it. Remember; their only purpose is to troll us. I'm not saying it's not upsetting, it's infuriating, but this is what the next 4 years of our lives will be.

we’re about to spend a day or two arguing about whether the thing he did that perfectly mimicked a Nazi salute was in fact a Nazi salute, but I can’t get past what a complete fucking dork freak he looks like when doing it

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his. It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this. I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

I’m sorry you can’t sieg heil twice and claim its origins are Roman or that you’re “throwing your heart into the crowd” - he knows exactly what he’s doing 🙄 it’s gonna be a long four years

“Inside, we are ageless...and when we talk to ourselves, it's the same age of the person we were talking to when we were little. It's the body that is changing around that ageless center” - David Lynch. RIP

Okay now I’m crying just thinking about how lucky we were to live at the same time David Lynch was active and creating new work, like holy hell for all the bullshit we have had to live through, we also got that, and that’s pretty fucking cool.

Was just chatting w a friend about how watching / being obsessed w Mulholland Dr in early teen hood (especially the DVD questions) taught us to value journey over destination, investigation over answer, process over product. It without a doubt laid the foundation for how I find joy in life, period.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

To me, “cancel the Oscars” is an understandable but short-sighted take that ignores a) how important the entertainment industry is to LA, b) how much that industry has suffered in recent years, and c) the potential fundraising opportunity of a televised awards show.
