I wish I never had to write this piece. On the late great David Lynch, a filmmaker who taught me how to look directly into the darkness.

David Lynch Was the Great, Golly-Gee Chronicler of American Darkness
Lynch, who died today at 78, combined Eisenhower-era innocence and experimental cinema to forge a disturbing, darkly hilarious look at American life.

Back in August, I asked Rolling Stone to let me write about one of my hobbies & the new American pastime: Mixed Martial Arts. In November, the story changed — & only got more relevant. If you want to know the new, bloody America, you gotta know the UFC.

For Rolling Stone, I wrote about the shape of the opposition to Trump 2.0:

“It’s not our job to tell Gavin Newsom, or Jared Polis, or JB Pritzker, ‘This is what you should do.' It’s our job to say, ‘You better be fighting back with everything you got.’”
