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

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

Gen AI is depressing.
As in, literally depressing. The way our minds are wired, the quick dopamine spike from generating things comes with dopamine valleys that make people feel worse overall.
It’s like eating too many sweets and gambling. It can legitimately be bad for us just by its very nature.

I say it’s worth noting because basically this:
“But my arguments are so good. Why are they still doing it while making flimsy excuses? They wouldn’t normally accept such weak excuses, so why are they—“
“CHEMICALS!“
“Eh?”
“SYSTEMS OF REWARDS THAT MAKE ME WANT TO KEEP DOING IT”
“But logic”
“NO”

The novelty Grinch cereal being essentially just green Kixs with the Lucky Charms marshmallow hearts is very funny to me. Was throwing in a Santa hat or Max's face too resource intensive?

Draconic Codex is out and I wrote the new lore/stats for the Horned Dragon, so go check it!
I made it so that Horned Dragons shed fragments of their horns and then throw them as projectiles against enemies. I was inspired by Gambit using Kinetic Card in Marvel vs Capcom, thank you very much
