If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!!
I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!

I’m not really sure or even slightly convinced that we will ever fight back against or demand more of big tech or the American Oligarchy. Sure, we’ll sound off on the apps that are destroying our lives but taking any meaningful action seems an impossible feat.

I disagree with perplexity.ai CEO Aravind Srinivas about the importance of sourcing in search results, but boy does he have Google's number here. Search for something they can't sell, you get an AI summary. Something they can, you don't. Try it yourself.

Yeah, a lot of the "gender is meaningless, you can be whatever you want!" talk also rings hollow when those selfsame supposedly supportive 'allies' also treat gender like a club trans people can be easily kicked out of, and act like respect for our identities is a privilege we must earn.

Its hard to carry on with life as normal when the Government has made illegal the medication clinically advised to my daughter by her doctors & endocrinologist. It is a gross injustice that our social & financial resources mean that my daughter can access healthcare, whilst her peers cannot.
