I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I remember when separating kids from their families at the border was a big thing a while back and people were like, "Oh, this isn't what America is!" And I was like, 'Have you read a history book? Separating brown kids from their families is like the most American thing ever.'

Only reason I’m not referencing native children more specifically here is because it’s not my lane

But think about what they’ve always done to indigenous folks and realize it’s always been this way
Remember the summer of Black Lives Matter? The woman and children and men who were taken from their families?

This behavior from our government wasn’t new then. Have they escalated in some ways? Yes

But you cannot fix things while forget how deep the rot goes

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”
i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

They had the audacity to claim Bluesky didn't have the juice, but not since peak Twitter have I logged off for an evening and come back to my entire feed speaking in a new language of rapid-fire in-jokes that I have to reverse-engineer to figure out what's happening. That, my friends, is The Juice.
Two big guys walked up front and started yelling at the pilot and the pilot screamed that they weren't going to Davos, they were going to Vienna, Virginia and that he had to get home to his family.
wow just woke up from a nap, i guess everyone else on Air Force One realized we aren't going to the right place

New European social network, being launched at Davos, owned by corporate-aligned climate group We Don't Have Time and helmed by a former eBay executive.

Tried to find out if it's compatible with any open protocol but no info

Begging baby authors to realize this.
Posting like you're on Linkedin or only about stuff related to your writing/genre is soul-sucking. Just be yourself.
Also, scare off people who aren't your audience.
On God I think the way capitalism biz tactics got its hands on artists in the indie field did a lot of mental damage (myself included). Posting as a Brand is exhausting. I'm so glad to see so many artists not give a shit anymore and just openly be people talking about their lives alongside art
General question for discussion: How do you guys feel about artists that talk a lot in-between posting art, even if not directly art related? Inocuous posts, interests, etc.

This is serious enough I'm reposting my own posts.

Minnesotans are talking to and befriending strangers.

And being openly emotional and swearing a lot in public.

People who would never in a million years so much as boo or heckle anyone at a sporting event are heckling ICE like whoa.
