This is one of those moments.28 Aug 2026 23:04 +0000at://did:plc:vro7axosed53b73ejutlin2u/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu6hxiy2gs2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/benrock.com/post/3mtypteze3k2eThis week can fuck right off.

Which it is. But living in it clarifies one thing: Fascism is, above all things, exhausting. For literally everyone. All day kayfabe from them and outrage from us. Fuck this.25 Aug 2026 15:02 +0000at://did:plc:vro7axosed53b73ejutlin2u/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtw3lin3uk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/benrock.com/post/3mtunndqgac2iSo I just overhauled my directing portfolio website. I’d love some feedback if you have a few minutes. Is it clear? Interesting? Janky? Cluttered? Unfocused? What did you like or hate about it? I’d really appreciate any feedback. www.benrock.com https://www.benrock.com25 Aug 2026 01:19 +0000at://did:plc:vro7axosed53b73ejutlin2u/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtunndqgac2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/benrock.com/post/3mtreyluhcc2jHey hey: please check out my friend Steven Lundgren’s crowdfunding campaign for his horror feature project. He’s a brilliant guy I’ve personally worked with, and this film looks cool and worthy, indie and cool and has something to say. https://seedandspark.com/fund/primordial23 Aug 2026 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:vro7axosed53b73ejutlin2u/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtreyluhcc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/benrock.com/post/3mtovuhmaq22r"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu Catering Cart wgah'nagl fhtagn"22 Aug 2026 18:31 +0000at://did:plc:vro7axosed53b73ejutlin2u/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtovuhmaq22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/benrock.com/post/3mtotpt5mu22rGoddamnit instead of Legoland we went to Leggo my Eggo Land.

Doesn't have to be expensive -- several are quite cheap. It just needs to be extremely large. Extra points if it's fun for about fifteen minutes but kids will want to keep it indefinitely.
