What's your favorite soundtrack from a terrible movie? I'm kicking off a writing series about the phenomenon of bad movies with great soundtracks with a look at 1993's The Last Action Hero. benjaminhunting.com/bad-movies-w...

Keep in mind Hyundai is only discontinuing/delaying EVs in the US market as a direct result of punishing tariffs. Those same models are still coming to Canada, for example.

of interest to few certain strains of music heads: huge stash of NME back issues now dropping on @archive.org, 300+ issues, 1969-1983 (so far). archive.org/search?query...

The Petersen Museum has a new Fast and Furious exhibit about to open up and I had a great time interviewing the curator about how the team chose and found the cars on display. driving.ca/car-culture/...

This is a sad reality and has been for decades. When I left Uni, I had pals who were able to afford to do unpaid internships. I went to work in a biscuit factory.

This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop. futurism.com/artificial-i...

i want to just think this is cute because it is cute but we’re also bombarded with official government content telling us to “remember who we are” and the implication is that it’s somehow possible to just live in a marlboro ad from 1965

this thing is so perfect for our asinine national culture of vacant nostalgia for a mid century aesthetic that hardly ever existed in real life

🚨Programming Alert: Coming out Sunday, the Ides of March, is our conversation with @emarquis.bsky.social about Elim Garak and fan fiction. On Sunday, March 29th, @huntingbenjamin.bsky.social and @reymiguel.bsky.social join us to talk about ST: Picard. Subscribe: podcasts.apple.com/podcast/trek...

1. Peter Frampton. Saw him perform his instrumental album maybe 15 years ago, and he was incredible. Enough that I bought tix for his tour of Comes Alive a couple of years later. 2. Chemical Brothers. One of the most boring live shows I've ever attended. Put a dent in my love for their 1st 2 albums

Struggling to understand the utility of a 2-seat taxi. Also, please stop reinventing the bus.

Allez-vous en parler à un moment donné? @lapresse.ca @info.radio-canada.ca @ledevoir.com @noovo.info

Nazi thugs attempting to intimidate journalists here in Montreal. There are far more of us than there are of them. They should be reminded of that fact at every possible opportunity. Journalists need to stand up for other journalists, and national news organizations should not be ignoring this story

Don't forget the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers!

Just some automotive industry professionals talking about #StarTrek. Another episode of the show is coming soon with @huntingbenjamin.bsky.social and @reymiguel.bsky.social.

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

What's a movie you genuinely enjoy that's known for being bad? With the caveat that I haven't seen it in 20 years or so.

mere sounds, full of Leviathanism, but signifying nothing

Saw a Crown Athlete wagon with a rear spoiler decal that just said TIMES NEW ROMAN shoutout JDM font enthusiasm

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

one of my favorite moments of TNG is when Picard is immediately unable to contain his horse autism

"Just after starting on Cars 2, I was told by a superior that I would be uninvited from all weekly art department meetings because Lasseter 'has a hard time controlling himself' around young women... It was clear that the institution was working hard to protect him, at the expense of women like me."

All of my comics take place in Quebec. I speak English as my first language, but 90 percent of the population speaks French. It would be absurd to not include French in my books. It's there, and it's often a major part of the plot. Sorry if some editors want books set in a midwestern Wal-Mart.

As evidenced by all the, uh, 'free horses' we see wandering the streets.

Tag yourself on the wall of tapes in my garage. I'm Wang Chung #cassettes #tapes

I just picked one of these and there's still time for you to snag one too - and support an organization that helps trans folk relocate to Colorado.

Let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area.

Welcome to Quebec, where cheese curds get to be 'protected,' and human rights for immigrants and anyone wearing a hijab or a kippa get the shaft. #qcpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Did I miss any designers whose designs have evolved from despised to celebrated? www.motortrend.com/features/con...

For those who think Nazi assholes are another country's problem - it's happening right here in Montréal too. How are these two losers employed???

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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

Tonight's Lost TAS Episode: "Trans Rights Are Human Rights"

It's definitely important, and it's why I make sure to regularly update my on-going negative experience with Scout Comics so that other creators don't make the mistake of getting into business with them, too.

Not was I expecting to see at the ATM

the comics industry, eternally

Have automakers forgotten what cars are actually for? Sadly, in many cases the answer feels like 'yes.' If you're tired of being pushed into adopting features no one seems to be askng for, this article is for you. www.insidehook.com/lifestyle/ca...
