Make the Blue Devil less sexy

(02/09/22 5:00am)

The world of advertising has been undergoing a radical transformation over the last few years, with many mascots facing massive changes in the name of progressiveness. We’ve seen Barbie made more body-positive, and Aunt Jemima Syrup renamed. And recently, to much public scrutiny, we saw the M&M mascots redesigned to be more gender-neutral. With all of these changes, I believe it is time for Duke to make the same moves towards a more inclusive society and make the Blue Devil mascot less sexy.

Why you should be listening to hyperpop

(10/06/21 4:00am)

When I started the first track of 100 gecs’ first album 1000 gecs, I thought the entire band had to be a joke. The music was distorted to the point of destruction, and all of the vocals were autotuned to near-incomprehensibility. It was the most maximalist music I’d ever heard, and I couldn’t believe anyone could find it even moderately listenable. There was absolutely no way that this album could be anything but satire. And yet, as I progressed from track to track, the song transitions punctuated with wailing sirens and staticky noise, I found myself oddly addicted to the chaos. Even if I couldn’t quite wrap my head around why, something was strangely compelling about this ridiculous album; I found myself starting the album over when it finished, and then again after the second play. By the time the third repeat finished, only about an hour total of listening, I felt like I had seen the future of music - and was completely converted.

Far too many sandwiches on this campus have tomatoes

(09/21/21 4:00am)

Last week, I went to Twinnie’s, the beloved cafe in the engineering quad, to get a sandwich. As I surveyed their ample selection, one candidate caught my eye: the Turkey Avocado Mayo Bacon sandwich. Its candor both surprised and intrigued me. The name listed every single item on it and absolutely nothing else; this was a sandwich for the student on-the-go, who wanted a no-nonsense lunch that was both delicious and nutritious. This was a sandwich for the student who wanted their food to be honest, and who derived immense satisfaction from taking a simple yet effective approach to dining. This was the sandwich for me. Out of both hunger and respect, I ordered one and waited.
