It doesn't seem fair to compare the thematic maturity of adult David Lynch with stunted 12 year old Quentin Tarantino (who is also, admittedly, a great film-maker.)
The moral of "Twin Peaks": the hero can't reverse time and undo trauma.
The moral of QT's last few films: time for our badass heroes to win against slavery, end WW2 early and save Sharon Tate.

In a country where the cost of living rises but wages don't, where illness can leave you in financial ruin, and where the young feel they have no chance at any upward mobility, 86 House Democrats joined Republicans to pass a resolution denouncing “the horrors of socialism.” trib.al/YmIjeGU

@whipkclark.bsky.social Do you have to turn into a spineless, useless husk to become a member of the democratic leadership? You do not represent me or my district, you represent Jeffries and Schumer and no one else.
As one of the few Cantabrigians represented by Clark, yeah I’ll be calling in to ask WTF
4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.

All these people worried about Mamdami's supposed secret anti-semitism, have they noticed how the president and vice president of the USA are outright blood and soil fascists? Are they aware that many in the republican party have openly embraced straight-up Nazis?
