Quick hits for Oct. 29, 2015

Gov. F*ckboy

F*ck you, Gov. Pat McCrory, for signing HB 318. It is obviously racist and xenophobic — also it is just embarrassing.  Honestly, f*ck every person who supported it. Think we are being a little rude? It is probably because no one taught us manners in elementary school due to the massive budget cuts. 


Voting Heels

It is early voting time in Chapel Hill and Carrboro! Please take the time to go to a voting office and cast a ballot. The Chapel Hill town government does a lot that affects students, so the UNC community should have interest in this election. Do not know who to vote for?  Check out our endorsements.


Problematic hats

The Democratic Party has been selling “America is Already Great” merchandise on it’s website, based off Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hat. This is problematic because it implies that over two centuries of systemic racism and imperialism are “great.” Come on Dems, you’re supposedly liberal.


Most wonderful time

Basketball season is upon us once again. Within the past week, we were treated to Late Night with Roy and the kick-off of a brand new NBA season. The UNC team looks to be one of the best in the country and did you all see Stephen Curry’s 24 points in the first quarter of his first game back? Damn. 


Racist dogs

The pro-Confederate people on Sunday were promoting racism and white supremacy — which is entirely inexcusable. However, they also forced otherwise benevolent dogs into the hatred — that too is wrong. Why must they ruin our Sunday morning and tarnish one of the best creatures alive? 


Our Halloween

To get the day's news and headlines in your inbox each morning, sign up for our email newsletters.

Halloween in Chapel Hill was made famous by college students for college students. We are not saying that students behave well on Halloween, but can’t we have this one night to ourselves? We understand families want to enjoy Halloween too, but can’t they do it elsewhere and leave our debauchery alone?
