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 love @libbyapp.com. I love my Kobo. I cannot understand why their integration is so broken. Both sides care about readers but point fingers. I’m begging them to get together and fix this and do it right. @mtamblyn.bsky.social

Media, the great distractor. Lord knows I need it. In keeping with tradition, here are my favorite things for the year. jacobtender.net/blog/my-favo...

I was reminded today of a Christmas tune I penned years ago. It’s a parody of an Old Best Friend song and sung by Old Best Friend (@mikecomite.bsky.social). banthafodderfm.bandcamp.com/track/things...

I’ve hardened myself to a lot of the news over the last few years, letting most of it sit near the surface to simmer. Maybe I’m softened up from an emotional double feature at the movies today but tonight’s headlines broke through.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

What is there to say? I’m gutted by the loss of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. He made this floating hunk of space rock a better place with every ounce of creativity and influence he had.

Every year, @emilyhughes.bsky.social publishes a massive calendar of releases in horror literature for the upcoming year. The list for 2026 is massive. readjumpscares.com/2025/12/05/t...

Incredibly sad to hear Martin Parr, one of the great documentary photographers of our time, has passed away at 73. Here’s a few of my favorite works by him, he was so good at composition and his beautiful use of color and macro lenses. www.1854.photography/2025/12/mart...

There are still a few days left for our Project Hail Mary giveaway! Our thanks to @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social and Ballantine Books for this beautiful gifted copy of the new movie tie-in version of Andy Weir's hit novel. Like this post and follow us for a chance to win a copy!

Happy to be involved in this project with such a great team and community surrounding it. Join us before 100k?

Folk horror is set in remote, isolated areas where nature — and the superstitions of the locals — hold sway. Think: The Wicker Man and Midsommar. It is perfect, spooky, autumnal viewing.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again. www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

Summer is basically over but I’m not giving up my back porch and Sunflower Kolsch until I have to.

I went to the local book store today and, while I was looking at a deluxe hardcover copy of Batman: Hush, I kid you not, a bat appeared out of nowhere and started flying around the shop.
