finally read @scottmeslow.bsky.social’s A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE and my guy really did the thing. Scott brings balance to a production history that’s become almost mythic, where the secret isn’t any kind of auteurism but a rare openness to possibility, making magic from the mundane

Why Twin Peaks Transcends Time and Space Thirty-five years after ABC unceremoniously cancelled the original series, Dale Cooper and Laura Palmer are TikTok-famous and the late David Lynch is a Gen Z icon. We talked to Scott Meslow, author of...

Had a blast talking all things Twin Peaks with the great Ariel LeBeau at GQ:

The Deeper Meaning of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show The Puerto Rican rapper’s performance wasn’t a crossover event. It was something better.

According to the new #TwinPeaks book, “A Place Both Wonderful and Strange” by @scottmeslow.bsky.social, this is what Duwayne Dunham tried when editing Part 18.

I think he was wanting to stretch the Audrey story into the finale.

Definitely for the best it was changed but fascinating nonetheless.

Hey Peakies, OG and new, if you’re looking for the whole story… look no further. #scottmeslowbksy.social

8 New Books to Read This February A close study of Toni Morrison, a Richard Hell reissue, and a novel about a woman trying to live without love.

“Scott Meslow’s history of Twin Peaks and all its offshoots is less an analysis of its meaning than a book about the industry mechanisms that shaped and threatened it, and the people who brought it back to life again and again.”

Just finished re-reading this extraordinary book by @scottmeslow.bsky.social

With a foreword by @harleypeyton.bsky.social, it tells the BTS journey of all three seasons and #FireWalkWithMe.

As a hardcore / old school fan, even I gasped a handful of times.

How do I talk to my kids about Minneapolis? “All I want for my kid is joy, and so much of the world that surrounds her right now is confusion and fear and pain.”

In Minneapolis, there are countless signs every day that the sanctity of our safe, loving places has been ruptured. The Trump administration has not just failed to protect children; it has seen, in their innocence and vulnerability, a fault line that ICE can exploit.

This can’t go on.

Thanks Martin!

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

A belated thank you to everyone who read, shared, and sent messages of support about this story. It means more than I can express.

We’ve decided to make this story free for all readers, forever. We hope you’ll support this reporting by sharing it.

Looking forward to reuniting in happier times!

Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:
