In the wake of the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Brown drove 15 hours to Atlanta, Ga. in order to lead peaceful protests.
The increased rate of No. 1 debuts can be attributed to the decline of the physical sales era that came with the prevalence of streaming services. As a result, debuting at No. 1 no longer holds the same merit as it did back in the 1990s when the first few top debuts occurred.
Baseball in 2020 was tainted — that is, until the World Series.
It is extremely easy to want to return to the worldview a lot of us had prior to Trump’s presidency, a time that we now call "normal." I want to caution against this wishful thinking. It does us no good to long for the way things felt before Trump moved our Earth.
Just as the jester uses his inherent silliness to make fun of the king, so does Sacha Baron Cohen to reveal the absurdity of the American philosophy toward COVID-19. Borat, the alter ego Cohen has become synonymous with, has proven with his second official outing that the character’s original film was not just lighting in a bottle.
Wheelchair racer Tatyana McFadden may be the closest person to an actual superhero that this column will cover. Many refer to her as the fastest woman in the world, and she certainly has the accolades to support it.
The power of a long, meandering walk is often underestimated. Even before quarantine made walking one of the only things that kept me sane, it was still an important part of my life.
Even with the limited mobility the Bruins held in the free agency market, the Bruins still managed some large moves during the unorthodox free agent season.
In 2019, Adam Sandler joked that if he didn’t win an Oscar for “Uncut Gems” (2019) he would make a movie “that is so bad on purpose” just to get back at the industry. Enter “Hubie Halloween” (2020).
Dear J: How do you find a girlfriend/talk to girls if you are truly a nice person but are quiet until you get to know someone well?
Although the media does not prioritize its coverage and some political leaders disqualify it, climate change is looming over our society and affects all aspects of our world. But when you look through a narrower lens, there is a more subtle subdivision of climate change that adversely impacts our society right now: water pollution caused by algal blooms.
There are 78 days between the election on Nov. 3 and the next inauguration on Jan. 20. With Republicans challenging the validity of mail-in voting, the likely confirmation of Justice Barrett and the looming threat of militia violence, this could be one of the most strenuous periods of political unrest in the last century.
If you’re an NFL fan, there is a decent chance Fitzpatrick has started a game for your favorite team. In his sixteen-year career, Fitzpatrick has played for eight teams: the Rams, Bengals, Bills, Titans, Texans, Jets, Buccaneers, and Dolphins.
My brief stint as a K-Pop fan was often characterized by an overwhelming sense of awkwardness. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve overcome those early insecurities and embraced the versatile, often stunning, style of K-Pop.
Strolling along any old New England cemetery (as one does), you’ll most likely find gravestones with winged skulls curling across their crests. I remember staring at these “Death’s Heads” for too long during elementary school field trips to Boston’s Granary Burying Ground: their hollow eyes and teeth in a row, wings unfurled in cracked yet perfect symmetry. There’s a stark blankness to their gaze, a tiredness in the curved shape where their noses would be.
Whether I’m writing a paper at the Sink on a Monday morning or Ubering downtown on a Friday night, somehow Yaeji’s music manages to be both energizing and relaxing at the same time, melding to whatever mood I find myself in.
Child stars emerge with enormous pressure to fit societal expectations. In reality, anyone who has experienced the tumult of adolescence knows that it is unreasonable to write off someone for mistakes they made as a teenager. Growth and experience should be celebrated, as child stars have to eventually break from the societal standards imposed on them to embrace their true identities.
The NFL is a team sport first, but the awards at the end of the season are where individual accomplishments are highlighted in the best and brightest players of the league. We’re almost halfway through the season at this point (wow), and I wanted to use some outside-the-box awards picks as a way to shine a spotlight on some of the most exciting or under-appreciated players in this bizarre NFL season.
Through the trials of the bubble, LeBron won his fourth championship with his third team as well as the Finals MVP just for thousands of basketball fans on Twitter to say that the 2020 NBA season came with an asterisk. But the bubble has always counted.
Celebrity culture, or “standom” as people call it these days, has always fascinated me. In this new world, artists aren’t mere mortals; they’re gods that people idealize and pay tribute to. Stars like Charli are within closer reach than they’ve ever been thanks to online platforms like Twitter and, in this case, Zoom.
