Benjamin Hunting

The solution is a punk rock apron.

If you're good at what you do, people just appreciate you.

I stopped working Fridays about four years ago, and it's made a world of difference to my mental health.

Oh hey not me misspelling 'axis'

Straight up, why are we even catering to men? As a man, I assure you I am catered to enough. We don't need the literary world shifting on its access to somehow meet the needs of an imagined 'average male reader.' Tell YOUR stories to WHOEVER will listen!

100 Films Directed By Women A list of 100 films compiled on Letterboxd, including 35 Shots of Rum (2008), Aftersun (2022), Alpha (2025), American Honey (2016) and American Psycho (2000).

It’s women’s history month; here are my 100 favourite films directed by women. Most prominent directors: Claire Denis, Lynne Ramsey & Kelly Reichardt. Celine Sciamma, Kathryn Bigelow, Julia Ducournau, Andrea Arnold and Joanna Hogg have three entries each. Some glorious work here. Cinema!

you can always x, it’s always morally correct meme saying you can always break a man’s Meta glasses, it’s always morally correct

I snagged this a couple of weeks ago - unsigned - for the same price. This is a steal!

Just when you thought our government couldn't get more racist, it reveals an entirely new level of bigotry.

In no way do I think anyone should buy a Vinfast. That's been my position since day one.

Add for Vinfast showing a huge markdown.

Check out the Canadian markdowns.

Those giant companies also love 60-day net.

If only the HR-V was actually a tall Fit instead of a bloated almost-CR-V :'(

I think you meant to say WAGONS.

Conterpoint: after driving nothing but crossovers for the last two months, I picked up an Elantra yesterday and it is SO MUCH BETTER TO DRIVE in nearly every conceivable way. It's so easy to forget what driving can be like when we're bombarded with nothing but crossovers and SUVs.

Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin in their costumes sitting next to each other, Connery's arm on Baldwin's shoulder, inside the Hunt for Red October's tilting submarine interior set

a contender for my favorite behind-the-scenes photo: The Hunt for Red October crew built their submarine set(s) on top of a hydraulic gimbal, 45 ft above the stage floor, capable of tilting 45 degrees to mimic a sub's movements - Sean Connery said it made him seasick. even the gauges inside worked.

L7 - I have that Bricks are Heavy cassette in my Jeep, and I play it ALL THE TIME.

I devoured the Pocket Books. Still have my collection 🙂

I used to have dreams where I'd be looking out the window of our family home, and, in the distance, a mushroom cloud billowed up into the sky. I was probably 7 or 8 years old.

Keep in mind this is being posted by someone who has Substack listed in her bio.

I feel like the closest we've got was Hot Wheels doing the Kelvin Universe Enterprise over the last 5 years or so.

Or perhaps Micro Machines?

The EQ fun is worth it alone.

It was 2003, I think - a Renault that had been converted by the owner in Montreal.

#spacewhales

I got to talk about space whales with @chadkirchner.com and @drandrewthaler.bsky.social on this episode of the Star Trek podcast Temporal Investigations. It was a blast!

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

That's the only reason I use discogs. Because I was tired of buying doubles.

I'd also like to start linking to cool comic book creator and automotive writer websites in a blogroll type deal, so please reach out if you have a regularly updated site you'd like me to include.

Benjamin’s Friday Link Round-Up #12 Last week’s travel means a backlog of cool stories to go through today. Here’s an extended look at what’s caught my eye on the web over the past little while. How far back in time…

Still working to build a way to share cool web stories outside the context of social media with my latest Friday Link Round-Up.
