Know things aren't great right now, but after dealing with a family event, I'm officially looking for freelance work again. Made a new portfolio selection, focusing on what I think I do best - interviews.

Please reach out if you want to talk or are open to pitches. www.clippings.me/users/hayesm...

Zohran continues to be exactly what the Democrat party should, and could, be doing

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I actually love all three Spider-Man games, and I’m very interested in Wolverine. But it feels like a real crime that Insomniac largely doesn’t make weird little games anymore

Hayes Madsen @solfleet.bsky.social · 21h

Today’s the 25th anniversary of Spyro: Year of the Dragon, a game I personally think is one of the best platformers ever made. And I reflect on how PlayStation, and Insomniac, have sort of lost the spirit of these kind of games - and how I hope Astro Bot’s success can change that.

Even after two decades Spyro: Year of the Dragon remains one of the best platformers ever made, and a remnant of another era we've lost. www.inverse.com/gaming/spyro...

Hello friends. Today, I'm releasing my first Duckspeak album in 5 years. Bones & Skin: 2012 - 2022 is a double compilation pulling together a decade's worth of my rarities, unreleased demos, and covers. It's a vulnerable, messy project that means a lot to me.

This is good but I also saw a “Jared Leto Had Sex With ChatGPT to Prepare For Tron” post this week, and I legitimately thought it could be real for a moment

Palette Swap @paletteswap.site · 1d

Notorious method actor Jared Leto is once again under fire following reports that he’s subjected his Tron: Ares co-stars to numerous malware attacks.

Yeah I think Tron’s real big contribution was a style and visual design that inspired practically a whole generation. Like it’s instantly recognizable. While it’s a “fine” movie, I don’t think it’s fair to say it didn’t have a genuine impact.

the ESPN story asking Giants teammates to describe Cam Skattebo is exactly what you'd expect (complimentary)

Dart and Skattebo are an unbelievably fun combo to watch

Oh man I’ve been wanting to dive into this, but just haven’t had time. Sunk so many hours into Homm 3 and 4. So really pleased to hear this is shaping up

I genuinely get like six of these calls every single day since I started having medical debt. Get a call blocker, report as spam, put myself on do-not-call lists - absolutely nothing has stopped or even impeded these. Geniunely one of the most infuriating things I've ever experienced

Oh yeah, that's fun. Just to be clear I wasn't saying you intended anything at all by it!More than something completely innocuous has been totally changed

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Hayes Madsen @solfleet.bsky.social · 1d

Hope you're okay!
