OPINION: This week's hot takes

ophottakes022823-illo

Danny William: As much as I love the institution of television, it’s completely overwhelming for me. Either I watch a beloved older show which consists of seven seasons of 22 episodes which could be removed from streaming at any moment, or I watch something new and have no clue when or where it will end after five years of watching. It’s a hard life out here. 

Elizabeth Valadez: Olivia Rodrigo’s “vampire” is the song of the summer. Even though the title of her new album “GUTS” coupled with the vampire theme initially made me hesitant, Olivia has raised my hopes once again. 

Jared Quigg: Meta’s new Twitter knockoff, Threads, has potential but is currently not great. In fact, it’s a little terrible — my feed is full of brands trying to be funny, or random people I don’t know, trying to be funny. Twitter, though it has gotten increasingly worse since Elon Musk took over (I've had to report far too many Nazis who shouldn’t have been allowed to be on the platform in the first place), is still the better app.  

Isabella Vesperini: Chocolate ice cream is so much better than vanilla. Vanilla is so bland and boring. Chocolate has more richness and flavor to it. It doesn’t just sit there; it has something more complex worth fighting for. Vanilla doesn’t stand a chance on its own. For me to eat it, it has to be paired with chocolate fudge. Otherwise, it’s way too sweet and plain to be edible for me. 

Gentry Keener: Crocs are a superior shoe, especially for the summer. Although kind of ugly, Crocs are versatile and practical. Whether you are camping, swimming, or just running out to grab the mail, Crocs are the superior shoe to slip on. Unlike Birkenstocks, Crocs can get wet without taking hours to dry. If they get muddy you just wash them off. They protect your feet from the outside environment such as sticks and yet, they are still breathable and comfortable. They are the superior slip-on shoe.
