If I had a nickel for every time that I found out I had a new half-sibling online, I'd have a few nickels- which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened SIX SEPARATE TIMES πŸ’€

I don't think film critics should have to review the Marvel movies anymore. Like, I dunno. Should an art critic have to review those big pictures of tomatoes they hang on the wall at Subway? I think they belong in a different category.

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
 
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
 
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.
 
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
 
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
 
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
 
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
 
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.
 
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."

We need to do everything we can as a society to keep Cronenberg and Attenborough safe, we're losing too many of our greatest Davids

I just rewatched Fire Walk with Me a week ago today for my birthday. Not only is Lynch one of the greatest artists to ever live, but his work is so important and meaningful to me and the way I interact with art. There will never be anyone else quite like him.

I didn't say that. I actually think it was performative for the group of friends she was with who were all giggling whenever anything sexy happened. You've already decided I'm a creep tho for some reason so I'm not gonna waste anymore time talking to you.

When they're literally sitting right next to you and performatively jerking their entire body around every other minute then yeah you'll probably notice that. But sure, I only noticed what the person sitting next to me was doing because I'm a creep πŸ™„

When I saw Hit Man in theatres there was a girl next to me who was very visibly doing exaggerated full-body cringes anytime anything remotely sexual happened. Why do people go see movies that they know are sexual in nature and then act so weird when sex happens? I don't get it lmao

I was in a store yesterday and a woman collapsed and hit her head on a shelf, cutting her head open. We stopped the bleeding while the clerk called 911. When the ambulance showed up, the woman didn’t want to go to the hospital at first bc she was worried about the cost. Picture unrelated.

NYT: The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said that airstrikes had killed at least 40 Palestinians who were attempting to flee northern Gaza by car on a main highway. Ashraf al-Qidra, a ministry spokesman, said in a WhatsApp message that the strikes had hit Salahuddin Road, Gaza’s main highway and one of the few routes to an area that Israel had said was safe. The Israeli military could not immediately be reached for comment.

I think the single defining moment of our age was that time Elon Musk's test rocket blew up, and then people laughed at him, and then a bunch of Very Serious People logged on to tell those people that they were fools and actually the Rocket Blowing Up was a big success.
