On Twitter in 2022, I did a series of #TwinPeaks The Return Observations. These weren't intended to "crack the code," but rather to revel in the minutiae of props, performances, story details, textures and sounds. As we transition to Bluesky, we're bringing it back, revised, & expanded. Stay tuned!
High among the many things I admire about Barack Obama is his ease around children, something I certainly don’t possess myself, I must admit. 😬
I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.

Anyone who’s see Matthew Lillard in Twin Peaks: The Return can’t honestly say he doesn’t have acting chops. Dude had to deliver a lengthy, batsh*t insane monologue all while blubbering hysterically and he sold the hell out of it. He’s a damn national treasure.

“I come for your sake Ebeneezer” or “Your suffering will be legendary even in Hell.” Yeah, I think we’re going to have to go with the latter with some of these psychos. 🤔
Three ghosts may have been effective in Scrooge’s day, but I think we probably need the cenobites.

In a settlement with four Republican-led states, the DHS has agreed to redesign its federal immigration database to serve voter “verification” purposes — a dramatic expansion of federal data that voting rights advocates have long warned could supercharge wrongful purges and threaten voter privacy.

A beautiful summary of a (nearly) ineffable quality of what constitutes “Lynchian:”
Lynch's work wasn't just "weird."
In the way Studio Ghibli tears are shown as how crying *feels* rather than how it appears, Lynch had feeling lead in his storytelling to the point of superceding the established reality and logic of the art. Not solely dream oddity but dream-emotion elasticity.

Pritzker is a Real One: come up with a practical solution and follow through.
In 2023, I proposed the Illinois Grocery Initiative to lower food prices and provide options in food deserts across the state. www.ksdk.com/article/news...
Pritzker breaks ground on state-backed grocery in Venice, calling it a 'revival' for forgotten towns
The Illinois governor says the project proves government can help the free market work where private investors walked away.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I love my city ❤️
The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.
