As this site sinks deeper into a miasma of deranged conspiracy theories, proto-fascism, racism, crypto promotion, boosted misinformation and degraded functionality, I feel less inclined to share my work here. I’ll still be around occasionally, but reach out to find me elsewhere.

If no 🎯 then closest answer wins; if more than one correct answer, the Little Man From Another Place will choose winner at random. Denizens of the Black Lodge, alas, are not eligible. I’ll pick winner Sunday, June 7, at 5pm PT. #DavidLynch #DonutDay #NationalDonutDay #TwinPeaks

I recently got a beautifully handcrafted mug whose quote, a TWIN PEAKS piece of advice from the subject of my book, helps point my morning compass north. It’s also a reminder we all need these days. Check out Ashley’s amazing work! milespottery.com/ #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

Thirty-four years ago today, May 16, 1992, David Lynch’s TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Several years ago I wrote about its reception, and long road to redemption and understanding. avclub.com/twin-peaks-fire-w… #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

Thirty-six years ago today, May 3, 1990, David Lynch made his first voice cameo as Gordon Cole in TWIN PEAKS. My book THE DREAMER’S PATH unpacks that moment’s “sandbox delight,” its connection to a classic Hollywood film, and more! bit.ly/4rsFNn9 #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

David Lynch’s BOAT is one of many curios to receive loving examination in THE DREAMER’S PATH, which details *every* Lynch on-screen performance. Learn where the 2003 short was filmed… and how it connects to an incident from decades earlier! bit.ly/3NpYWqA #DavidLynch
Cue The Lonely Island and T-Pain… it’s David Lynch on a boat!
