Watching Twin Peaks for the first time (I know) and it feels bizarre to like retroactively discover every cultural reference and touchpoint that went over my head in other media I enjoy. Like I've discovered the Gen X cultural Rosetta stone or something

my idea for a world cup is do away with qualifiers, all 250+ countries in a straight knockout with no seeding. it would be beyond box office. but it'll never happen because of woke

rip keyboard bob. it wasn't a proper deep ellum show until Bob raised the keyboard over his head. it should be noted for non dallasites that Bob never played the keyboard, he was just a man that showed up at concerts with his own keyboard

Bob Crawford was a constant character in Deep Ellum, with many fans sharing stories of the traveling man with a keyboard.

I think Altman assumes that “PhD-level expert” means someone who speaks confidently on everything as opposed to saying “it’s nuanced,” losing their keys, and getting maniacally fixated on their current topic to the point of seeing it in everything.
