Elon Musk is a Nazi. Pass it on.
(shocker)
Great piece from @marisakabas

Lost Boys and Bill & Ted fans! You can own SIGNED original screenplays AND help support crew who need funds to cover their healthcare during the AMPTP work shutdown. Those and more at The Union Solidarity Coalition auction! LB signed by Kiefer, Jason, Billy and me. And BT signed by writers Chris and Ed and Keanu and me. Auction is here:

This was why I deleted my Twitter account even for basic promo. Using Twitter is monetizing this violence (and neo-nazis and anti-democratic incitement). I know people have their reasons for staying but I can’t support this. I'm also aware other companies are complicit but Musk runs Twitter like a hate-spewing autocrat and can't help monetize that.

A terrific night at The Music Box in Chicago with a sold-out screening of The YouTube Effect. Thanks to our audience and the great @parkermolloy for a robust q&a! Last stop San Francisco, which is also sold out.
Tickets for other screenings and future in-person q&a's: yteffect.com/screenings

Hope the next time anyone, literally *anyone* comes along and tells people to trust their self driving cars, move to mars and plant a chip in your brain that works on (some) monkeys, that people do just the weeniest bit of due diligence on the guy. Given this has three million likes, probably not.

Do all the people on Twitter using the platform to complain about Elon ad nauseum not understand that if they left the platform and stopped engaging, it would turn into Parler, lose its advertisers and die? It's just a private app that monetizes off of engagement. So don't engage.

It was super fun working with @EdSolomon on a non Bill & Ted project for a change. In the trailer on his and Soderbergh's new HBO series Full Circle. Great script, direction and cast. Look forward to folks seeing this.

You can take the spoiled, chaos-junkie oligarch out of the apartheid mining family, but you can’t, etc.

Now that the dust is settling, here's an #introduction. I'm a filmmaker, actor, and staunch New-Twitter rejecter.

I love the gentler, non-algorithmic nature of this community, and in keeping with that, I won't use this account for self-promo. You can find my projects on other platforms (which I seldom use) or my own site, all here: https://linktr.ee/alxwinter.

The #fediverse is an opportunity to build a community as robust as Twitter without the histrionics and clickbait toxicity. Let's do that!
