The documentaries’ releases prompted a second wave of responses from social media. Memes and jokes circulated Instagram and Twitter, not nearly as many as the festival first elicited, but enough to remind one of the response and horror first surrounding Fyre.

Hurricane Florence has given USC students the unexpected free time they’ve all been wishing for since classes began. There are plenty of ways to be productive during these days off. In President Harris Pastides’ email, he recommends students get ahead (or catch up) on classwork or spend some time at the gym. But with all due respect to the president, another great way to spend rainy days is curled up in a cozy blanket with a fresh bowl of popcorn in front of the TV. Don’t feel guilty, you deserve it.

The Netflix revival of "Queer Eye" had potential viewers feeling a little hesitant. The original show aired from 2003-2007 with the title of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" where five gay men made over the lives of boring, straight men.

Net neutrality at its core revolves around internet providers ensuring that all content, websites and applications are accessible without hindrance. This means that a provider cannot slow your connection if you load a webpage that they disagree with, nor can it be paid by a company to block its competitors.

This push must be stopped, and net neutrality needs to stay.
