'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

“Sex and love have nothing to do with female and male. It is just whatever two souls happen to be. It could be male and female, and it might not be male and female. It might be female and female or it might be male and male. You can try to pretend that it doesn’t happen, and you can make fun of it and be snide, but that’s not really the rightful thing. I know, I know.”

— Bob Dylan ( from No Direction Home, March 1966, Robert Shelton)

the more i rewatch twin peaks i am reminded more and more that albert rosenfield (and to a lesser extent bobby briggs, though he doesn’t quite articulate it as clearly as albert with the exception of him breaking down at laura’s funeral) is THE only character to recognize laura’s death for what it was—completely avoidable, unromantic, and caused by human evil that nobody recognized the signs of or did anything to stop

it's also difficult to grapple with twin peaks as a work that i think puts forward an extremely clear and necessary thesis statement—sexual violence and abuse is preventable and horrendous and it is our responsibility to recognize the signs—and is also in its own ways still fairly conservative in many aspects of its storytelling and general ethos, ESPECIALLY when it comes to how lynch deploys nostalgia, the fearmongering when it comes to drugs, the ways in which the impacts of american imperialism get diluted to a broader sense of evil (i'm thinking specifically of the ways in which he uses atomic bomb footage in the return), etc. etc. given lynch was a reaganite it's also important to consider how those politics are also infused into twin peaks and how it shapes our understanding of the world he's built, even as the show attempts to make broader comments on spirituality and good vs. evil that he probably views as apolitical but really aren't
