Two Halftimes, One America?

Caroline Turner, Opinions Editor Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last two weeks, you are well aware that Super Bowl LX has come and gone. And with the milestone of the 60th Super Bowl, there came a clear divide in United States families and Super Bowl parties across the nation. This isn’t the first time in Super Bowl history that there has been an alternative option to the NFL’s halftime show, but this … Continue reading Two Halftimes, One America?

The Monster, The Super Bowl, and the Politics of Fear; or Why Frankenstein is Still Popular in 2026

Nora Webb, Publishing Editor Photo courtesy of NBC  On February 9, 2025, Bad Bunny took the Super Bowl LX halftime stage and performed almost entirely in Spanish. I say almost, because he delivered exactly one line in English (“God bless America”) before listing the nations of Central, South, and North America as dancers carried their flags. Behind them, a billboard flashed a message: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” At … Continue reading The Monster, The Super Bowl, and the Politics of Fear; or Why Frankenstein is Still Popular in 2026

Virginia Weaver, Senior Staff Writer   Microwaved Beef is a column by Virginia Weaver that reflects on flashpoints from the last few years in the culture wars.

Tender is the Flesh is…Fine 

Ezra-Oscar Franchi, Arts & Entertainment Editor  There’s no better genre than horror. I mean it, and no, I’m certainly not overhyping it. Horror is a woefully misunderstood genre, especially among avid readers of other genres who recognize lowbrow authors like Stephen King and James Patterson as the alphas of the literary pack. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve argued with other horror enthusiasts over the poor quality of their works—I mean, these … Continue reading Tender is the Flesh is…Fine

Sorry, English Majors—Wuthering Heights (probably) Isn’t Going to be Good. 

Ezra-Oscar Franchi, Arts & Entertainment Editor  Charli XCX and John Cale’s song “House” was made for the upcoming Wuthering Heights soundtrack (you know, the one that goes, “I think I’m gonna die in this…house?”). This comes as a surprise to me, because despite being an avid participant in literary and cinematic social circles and online communities, I’ve only seen this song used in memes. In fact, I haven’t seen much marketing for (or talk about) Wuthering Heights at … Continue reading Sorry, English Majors—Wuthering Heights (probably) Isn’t Going to be Good.

‘Not Political’ is NOT a Flex

Sophia Tascone Often in conversations with other students, I am met with phrases like “I’m not political” or “I don’t do politics,” and every time, I visibly cringe. Politics are not something we can choose to “not do.” They surround us in almost every aspect of our lives, whether we notice it or not. By disengaging with politics, you are also disengaging with social justice, human rights, the affordability of food and housing, and … Continue reading ‘Not Political’ is NOT a Flex
