It's a little grim to keep featuring new Robert Sietsema bylines based on historic work when he was unceremoniously laid off months ago.

It's about time to start nominating Nathan Fielder for a MacArthur Genius Grant.
Looks like too much BODO and not enough GLIMT.
No Other Land Co-Director Yuval Abraham:
"The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way."
Chuck keeps calling his senator to demand action but always gets a busy signal.
It's real hard to fight off despair but we must.
Glad to see the media has learned nothing in 8 years.
I've been searching for the name of that Swedish band for eons because I liked listening to the opening track of their 2001 album at the Virgin Megastore. Thank you for your service!
But he gave so many the blueprint: be true to yourselves, follow your muse and let it bleed out in the medium of your choice.
Godspeed Mr. Lynch.
His shadow is that long and that unique. But it is apparent. David Forster Wallace famously said, Lynchian things are like the courts definition of obscenity - you know it when you see it.
David Lynch is gone, and the world is poorer because of that fact. But what a trove he left us. We are blessed to have witnessed his sui generis.
We will forever benefit from the artists who draw inspiration from him, including the countless creators who don't even know he inspired them.
Watch Megalopolis and watch TWIN PEAKS season 3 episode 8 to understand how singular Lynch was in his ability to conjure the surreal make it more empathetic than anything real - and what happens when others try.

Hello again
Theater was so still during Zone of Interest, you could occasionally hear faint singing from the Wonka screening next door - just added to the overall unease of the whole thing.
Life is good
Every week, I forget I even have an account on here. It's an uphill battle for sure.
Thanks to the Bear for simply demonstrating how many dramatic, slow songs R.E.M. created that are better than Losing My Religion.
Half a World Away > Stranger Currencies > trillion-point gap > Losing My Religion.
And, for the record, So. Central Rain is the best of them all.
I think the Bear is so good because each character is an exaggerated form of a character trait we all have within ourselves.
Both are good but Ep. 7 > Ep. 6
This Lot Radio session is fantastic https://www.thelotradio.com/
Is it a good sign when you're running out of room on the danger needle?
I've arrived!
