During the pandemic David Lynch released a daily weather video in which he reported what the weather was at his home in Los Angeles.

First video was May 11, 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krIj6eLF4mU

Last video was December 16, 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l21GFyOO8Ug

He also released a daily video in which he drew a bingo number. I can't really imagine any other major director doing something like that in their late 70s.

HIs final video was sent to his foundation's fundraiser last year because he couldn't attend:

These were the very last words he spoke:

______

May everyone be happy.

May everyone be free of disease.

May auspiciousness be seen everywhere.

May suffering belong to no-one.

Peace.

Jai guru dev
