Welcome To The Hivemind Times!

Issue 100 folks. 

I’m not gonna say I’m impressed but it is pretty cool to hit triple digits. I wanna shout out all the contributors over these past 100 issues, all good friends who I usually ask to write something the day of and seemingly they get a kick out of giving you guys extra tid bits of reading. This has been an awesome place for me to share more tunes, recipes, poetry, and bullshit takes on whatever. 

Genuinely thanks for opening up the digital pape every week, it's a pleasure to do it. 

Any fucking way enough horse shit, this week you got a hot helping of worst songs bracket, another season 8 ep with some hidden surprises. WTF is actually going on. Either way, I hope you are still messing with the shits. 

Have an awesome weekend.

MOVIE REVIEW

I had the absolute pleasure of doing a double feature on Sunday. Leading off with Se7en, not only a rewatch but getting to show it to someone for the first time. What a treat to watch that unfold in front of someone. 

The follow up film was Blue Heron by Sophy Romvari. Boy o boy was this nice. A delicately handled exploration of memory with the first half being the memory? I’m not the right person to break this down - go read Ro’s review on letterboxd, she nailed it. But I will tell you what I appreciated about it. 

The first half does a great job of putting you intimately into the household of a family trying to find their footing in a new country in the late nineties early 2000’s. The designer of those sets and all the tech was super nostalgic for a guy of my age and instantly made me access my memories of childhood be them random or sentimental throughout watching. 

The second half does something very ambitious and tricky and brilliant and beautiful that I will spare the details of in order to preserve your viewing experience. I will say it's beautiful and difficult to process at times and I imagine a second rewatch will devastate me even more. 

Great movie. Big shout out Hungarians.

SPORTS

The NFL season is approaching and the biggest question to everyone in the entire sports world remains who will be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. 

I am here to disappointingly report it will be known sex pest and two times achillis tearer Deshaun Watson. Despite all my hopes and prayers it is becoming glaringly obvious that this will be how it transpires at the beginning of the season at least. 

If a thirty year old who has barely played in the last two seasons let alone at a remotely consistent high level can not be beaten out by Shedeur at this point in camp I think that says a lot of where Sanders progression from rookie season to now is. 

Don’t for a second believe that this could please me, a halfway decent man who has done nothing but support this sorry fucking organization. It will be pretty close to impossible to begin this season in support if they walk 4 out as the starter, and I’d be lying if I wouldn’t get some kick out of watching Baker fuck em up in week two and hopefully lead them closer to benching the pest.

Fuck at this point let’s see some Taylen Green. 

I love ya Cleveland but you have left me no choice. I can’t root for the pest. Bring me 12 and we can talk.

POEM OF THE WEEK

Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)

At a Window

Give me hunger,
O you gods that sit and give
The world its orders.
Give me hunger, pain and want,
Shut me out with shame and failure
From your doors of gold and fame,
Give me your shabbiest, weariest hunger!

But leave me a little love,
A voice to speak to me in the day end,
A hand to touch me in the dark room
Breaking the long loneliness.
In the dusk of day-shapes
Blurring the sunset,
One little wandering, western star
Thrust out from the changing shores of shadow.
Let me go to the window,
Watch there the day-shapes of dusk
And wait and know the coming
Of a little love.
