Imagining a story where a politician gets a chance to travel four years back in time to take down a dictator, but the machine rapidly accelerates his aging process, and in his senility he ends up perpetrating a genocide instead.

The fact that no one else seems more prepared than I do for this moment in history is totally infuriating. I’m a mess. I’m stupid. What the fuck is wrong with everyone else?

Things will get worse. (Much worse.)
We will endure. (Not all of us. The losses will be profound.)
And we will, one day, build something better. (I hope.)

Have you ever been really insulted by someone you knew was too stupid to take seriously, but in the back of your mind, you wished you could kill them for wasting your time?
Another four years of that. A round on the house.

Every outgoing president should just ban something like soda, or TV, or pornography for a few days and let the next president repeal it, as a goodwill gesture.

I forget who it was, but someone mentioned that they had been seeing a lot of videos of clear ice, and the beautiful structures frozen under the water. Asking, is that a meme? Can you call something like that a trend?

Something I didn’t really catch before: Fred calls and Renee isn’t home with no explanation. Then at the party he calls his house and Robert Blake IS at his home, also with no explanation.

I really love the moment when this specific incarnation of “The Arm”, off camera, hands him a knife to kill Dick Laurent. The timing is sort of frenzied.

I can really see Lost Highway as a series of isolated images, especially faces. Robert Blake, Robert Loggia, and Patricia Arquette, specifically. Very haunting.

I had a dream that some young guys fed me yellow string, and not wanting to back down, I swallowed all of it. Later, I became terrified that I was going to die, but the guys loved it and they asked if they could write jokes for me.

I have this image in my head of David walking into the fires. I was thinking about Wild at Heart, and Lost Highway, and how it’s an odd foreshadowing now. Like a warning.
