We all know January is the time to make resolutions you probably won’t stick to. But if your resolution is to write more cultural criticism, we have a solution for you: The 2019 Hot Take Generator.
Consider yourself a #woke thought leader, but don’t have the time to keep up on gossip or develop literary and historical nuance? (I mean, who does really?)
Get your pitches ready with the Hot Take Generator.
Simply use the first letter of your name, the month you were born, and your astrological sign and BAM! You’ve got the perfect combo to fill in your clickbaity headline. (Birth months and signs are correlated, so if you know your rising sign, try using that to make it more interesting.)
