This is a beautiful tribute.

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.

No living person in LA has experienced a drought this severe. This is the worst megadrought of the last 1000 years.

Bill Throndset @biltron.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Megadroughts are a recurring phenomenon in the Southwest including the Los Angeles area. White the current drought in the SWNA is exacerbated by climate change, megadroughts also have occurred in the 9th, 12th, 13th and 16th centuries. We are making it worse with greenhouse gases.

Bill Throndset @biltron.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

The fires in LA are horrific. Climate change is partly to blame. But let’s not overlook that all of these flammable home were built in the chaparral ecosystem. Wildfires are a natural and essential part of this ecosystem. Plants are adapted to fire - some need it for seed germination.

Around 40% of Americans believe that god created the earth and everything else between 10,000 to 6,000 years ago. This is despite a large body of astronomical and geological evidence that supports that earth is about 4.5 billion years old.

It’s strange how there are too many Christmas songs, and yet too few at the same time. How many times per day can one listen to jingle bells rock before it’s considered a crime against humanity?

There are two reindeer in your head. One is trying very hard to get out, while the other is also trying super hard to get out. They are afraid of the wolves in there. But the wolves are two busy wondering how they happen to be trapped in the stale parable that serves as a metaphor for good vs evil

As a longtime user of the birdsite, until it was ruined by megaloman, I am much more impressed by Bluesky - it is far better than the alternatives that l’ve tried. Especially since the mass exodus has occurred from birdsite and so many interesting people have joined the community here.

My father’s life changed dramatically when he was 11. He contracted polio, spent a year in hospital and suffered from the effects of the disease for the rest of his 82 years. Vaccines weren’t available in 1945. The Salk vaccine was declared safe and effective in 1955.
