I’m absolutely serious about this. Today I have registered the domain name womenforhumanrights.co.uk

Maybe this won’t be what sticks, but it’s a start.

Explainer about how I got to this choice in various conversations in the original 🧡

Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease.

For now, we're simply asking you all to share & sign the petition below;

Tis true. And don’t get me wrong, it was always gonna be a really awkward one to adapt, and they’ve certainly worked to try and find a narrative device that sets itself apart from the standard manner. So I certainly don’t grudge it.

Which itself feels at odds with Until Dawn, to me. The game is where you makes choices and live with them, and the story goes where it will from there. As you say, feels suitable to games in general, but weirdly antithetical here.

kyle_maclachlan 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, l'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.

A small thing in light of this shitty news, but it would be lovely if today were the day this GoFundMe for TWIN PEAKS actor Carel Struycken and his wife, who lost their home in the Eaton Fire, reached its target www.gofundme.com/f/support-ca...

Moon Palace is probably my favourite, after New York Trilogy.

I also really like The Music of Chance. Leans into the acceptance of the consequences of chance he likes to do.

I maintain that it would be extraordinarily funny if he just dropped an album full of songs that he’d secretly done for every movie he’s made since Men in Black 2.
