I’ve been reading a lot about the end of the Roman republic recently, and the slide of that empire into imperial monarchy. The stamping of the leader’s face on coins, colossal statues and a reworking of the forum. But even Augustus didn’t build himself a ballroom-fortress.

365 days ago was the last time I spoke to one of my oldest friends. We spoke for just over an hour and we laughed at the ridiculousness of so much and so many. He didn’t wake up two days later, and I miss him hugely. This isn’t about me, this is about remembering my friend. 🥃

Panel One:
A woman sits in a chair reading happily in a book-filled room.
A voice offstage says
"You can't survive on books alone"
The woman replies
"Maybe I can!"

Panel Two:
"How?" asks the voice
"I don't know yet, but I'm sure the answer will be in one of my books." Says the woman

Panel Three:
Caption: However
The book is filled with yet more books.
A skull sits on the chair. It says
"I regret nothing!"

A moving tribute for a brilliant filmmaker.

A screenshot of a heartfelt tribute written by Kyle MacLachlan, reflecting on his friendship with David Lynch. The text describes Lynch as an intuitive and creative individual who profoundly impacted MacLachlan's career and life, mentioning their collaborations on "Blue Velvet" and "Twin Peaks." The message honors Lynch's unique perspective on life and concludes with a personal note of gratitude and loss.

Every single thing that everybody suddenly wants to do in Greenland - mine for minerals! use shipping lanes! set up bases! - can be done right now, while Greenland is part of Denmark. The discussion of "occupying" Greenland is just a pointless piece of aggression towards an ally.
