The lost art of physical media

I take a special pride in being the go-to friend when someone can’t find a movie on streaming services. Whether it’s unavailable or they don’t have the platform, I can turn to my personal Criterion Collection of 166 DVDs.

We have a misguided belief in our invincibility

Upon reflection—particularly regarding our recent and frequent involvement in Iran and the Middle East more broadly—I have realized that one crucial assumption underpins many of our foreign policy decisions: that we are an invincible force that will not, and, in fact, cannot be defeated.

Welcome to 4chan

Have you ever wanted to see the ponies from My Little Pony ranked by sex appeal? Have you ever wished you were violently radicalized? Have you ever sat and thought to yourself, “Wow, I’d love to see a beheading video right now!”

Women don’t want me, and it’s not my fault

America wants you to worry about the wrong fundamentalists

Since Feb. 28, 2026, the United States and Israel have begun co-writing the next bloody chapter in the already overwhelmingly violent regional story of the Middle East.

Are zodiac signs accurate?

Perceptions of zodiac signs differ from person to person, and it is something that is debated a lot in the media. Some of us take them completely seriously, some of us are totally against them, and some are indifferent on the topic.

Reflections on privilege and protest

On Sunday, Mar. 8, I attended the Women’s March hosted by Peace Action Geneseo. It was fairly well attended; we looped around the Main Street area twice with our signs, shouting chants and waving to all those who honked when they passed by.
