What can you do about a federal government that will murder its citizens, then lie to justify it, despite the existence of crystal-clear video evidence they are lying? Who will protect us?

Honored to be in such great company!
Marking the 1,000th article on Twin Peaks Blog with an extensive list of Twin Peaks & David Lynch-related books. As an archivist (and the son of a librarian), I greatly value these books. They are filled with invaluable treasures about the wonderful & strange show twinpeaksblog.com/2025/12/06/w...

Maddening how Mr. Robot went from moderately overrated in season 1 to insanely underrated in seasons 2-4
Every few months @scottmeslow.bsky.social and I just yell at each other about how mad we are people bailed on the show just as it really got going. Deserves to be canonized, discussed, celebrated!
