Here is what some Jacksonville residents have had to say so far:

November Hot takes: 

“The city needs more shelters for the unhoused, not another stadium.”

 

Downtown wouldn’t be crumbling and empty if people held developers more accountable for their inaction, and that takes local election votes.”

 

“Don’t legalize recreational marijuana in Florida until the residents can get residual checks. The money should be a supplement to education and Florida residents.”

 

“People think I’m this great guy who is always willing to help people. But in truth, I’m just doing it all with the hopes of getting laid.”

 

“DeSantis is a nut job and his draconian overreach including but not limited to trying to handpick and fund election of school board members is sick and Not Good for Florida”.

 

“The candlelight theater at Friday Musicale has intriguing shows but the theater itself is tasteless.”

 

October Hot Takes:

Joe Biden dropping out of his presidential race will probably be remembered as his single most valuable contribution to history.”

 

“Desantis trying to ‘kill wokeness’ was the worst thing a governor has done for Florida since the Spanish colonized it.”

 

“Anti-homeless architecture should be dismantled. It helps no one and hurts the most vulnerable members of the community.”

 

“Folioweekly should publish more investigative journalism and restaurant reviews, less op-eds from interns.”

 

“Americans shouldn’t be funding endless proxy wars in Ukraine, Taiwan and Palestine/Lebanon.”

 

“Being a polyamorous straight white man is the biggest manipulation tactic.”

 

September Hot Takes:

 

“Trevor Lawerence is not that good (y’all find a better quarterback)”

 

“I’m in love with my best-friend’s ex.”

 

“Both presidential candidates suck!”

 

“Why diminish sex workers when billionaires do unethical dealings to make fast quick money?”

 

“Assisted suicide should be legal.”

“Head isn’t that great.”

“Bring back Mavericks.”

 

“The new stadium is a waste of money.”

 

“Pride is overtly sexual”

 

“Cheaters deserve jail time.”

 

“Felons should not be president.”

 

“You should not become a parent if you’re below a certain tax bracket.”

  

“Richie likes big girls and seeing their flubber in the moonlight.”

 

“My besties’ boyfriend has a foot fetish.”

 

“I am heartbroken”

 

“Joe Exotic should be in prison!”

 

“Channing Tatum is just not that hot.”
