Vladimir Putin sworn in as Russian President for a record fifth term: will Trump congratulate him again? (Op-Ed)
Vladimir Putin was sworn into office for his fifth term as Russia’s president after first taking office nearly a quarter of a century ago.

Netflix’s use of AI photo generation in true crime documentary “What Jennifer Did” is unacceptable. (Op-Ed)
When we sit down to watch a true crime documentary, we expect honesty and transparency – facts over bias. As a director, you have a responsibility to everyone involved in the case, victim or perpetrator, to not present any false evidence. Unfortunately, Netflix’s “What Jennifer Did” contains AI-generated images of Jennifer Pan, who allegedly plotted […]
Mia Goth’s performance in “Pearl” is an unforgettable delve into feminine rage. (Op-Ed)
Pearl, the second movie in Ti West’s X trilogy, is not as bloody as the original X film, but it is far more psychological and feminist and works brilliantly as a prequel. Set in 1918, Pearl (Mia Goth), the old woman from X, lives with her German immigrant parents on their family farm in Texas. […]

Donald Trump told Republican donors at his Mar-a-Lago resort this weekend that President Joe Biden is running a “Gestapo administration,” the latest example of the former president employing the language of Nazi Germany in his campaign rhetoric.

Overwatch 2 is not worth playing anymore. (Op-Ed)
I have been playing Overwatch since its initial release in 2016 and I reckon it’s high time that I retire this once-beloved first-person shooter (FPS). After over 1,000 hours, I’m done.

“I simply close my beautiful blue eyes:” Trump denying falling asleep during his own criminal trial is unacceptable. (Op-Ed)
Many journalists have reported that Donald Trump is falling asleep during his criminal hush money trial in Manhattan, but the former president vehemently denies those claims. Trump, a known liar, is far less reputable than the well-known news outlets covering the case. It is incredibly disrespectful to the judge, attorneys on both sides, the jurors, […]
Kendrick Lamar’s “euphoria” response to Drake’s diss track is explosive and excoriating. (Op-Ed)
Kendrick Lamar has finally responded to Drake’s diss, and I have never heard Lamar so violently angry in my life; as a long-time fan of Lamar, I am familiar with his entire discography. The six-minute track was dropped on Tuesday afternoon with no promotion or warning, and if I were Drake, I would be quaking […]

High school theater programs deserve more funding. (Op-Ed)
It’s no secret that the majority of extracurricular funds go towards high school sports programs, leaving students who are interested in the arts without much of a budget to work with. Many theater programs across the country have faced severe underfunding, or total removal of the program altogether. There is beauty in watching young students […]
