Hivemind Times Issue #23

Welcome To The Hivemind Times!

Graydon reporting for duty. New year, new me - am I right?! Anyone else completely abandon those dumbass resolutions? If you stuck with ‘em good on ya, but shut up.

Any-however this week was pretty electric over here. We had the pleasure of hosting Big Game Bengal over last weekend and watching football with him. What a class act. We have a couple absolute classic videos yet to come out with him, Screw it they are Jep & Feud. So be pumped for those.

We have some exciting stuff packed into this week's Hivemind TImes so sit back and crack open your favorite digital paper and eat a bean or something.

RILEYS EDITORIAL SECTION

Hello everyone, Riley here. Apologies for the lack of newsletter contributions recently. I’ve been busy, but we all have… so that’s no excuse. The god-honest truth is that I’ve been at war with my thoughts, struggling to find my journalistic voice. As a poet, a writer, a philosopher - whatever you want to call me… I long to be understood. I don’t write for the sake of writing. I write to build worlds. I write to inspire change. No more slop… you deserve better.

Here’s the stranger things characters and whether I could beat them in a fight:

  1. Mike - skinny as shit and literally a kid. I would destroy him.

  2. Will - short with a dumb haircut and kind of a boring vibe. would kick his ass.

  3. Dustin - he does have crazy guy energy and rubber bones or whatever but he’s a child. He has no chance.

  4. Lucas - could be sneaky athletic but also still a kid. I’m not losing a fight to a kid.

  5. Eleven - has telekinetic powers. she would obliterate me.

  6. Steve - loses every fight in the show even when he has a weapon. I like the when I’m back in chicaaago I feeeel iiiit song so I would feel bad about it but I like my chances.

  7. Nancy - what she lacks in physical strength, she makes up for in having a sawed-off shotgun. I would respectfully forfeit.

  8. Jonathan - type of guy to get carried away and kill someone in a fight. no thanks. 

  9. Max - seems late in the article to mention this but I obviously wouldn’t fight girls or kids; however, if I had to I would win

  10. Hopper - he is bigger than me and he’s a police officer so the odds are stacked against me but I feel like maybe I could trick him?

  11. Joyce - I just kicked her son’s ass, I wouldn’t blame her for killing me. never underestimate the power of a mother’s love. 

  12. Robin - very anxious and uncoordinated. might be easiest fight of the day (I imagine these would all happen in one day) 

  13. Murray - On paper I like this matchup, but he does martial arts and I’m gonna be so tired from all the other fights

  14. Argyle - he seems bigger than me but I would just pull his hair and convince him that he’s dreaming. easy win 

  15. Vecna - telekinetic demon who lives in the underworld, would for sure fuck me up. I’m good on it.

Thank you for reading and more importantly thank you for the privilege to share fragments of my spirit with you through literature. It’s an honor I do not take for granted. 

With sincere gratitude,

- Riley
