Personal responsibility: What’s the point?

Eva Analitis | Friday, April 8, 2022

As a non-Catholic, when I didn’t make a point of abstaining from meat on Fridays in Lent, my Catholic-school friends weren’t too surprised as they devoutly observed a day of discipline once a week. While they filled the seats of Friday fish-fries and reminded one another to steer clear of meals with meat, they figured

‘Kimi’: An eye-opening cultural commentary

Mary O’Connor | Monday, February 21, 2022

In our current age of technological advancements, our lived experiences are becoming more and more intertwined with other people. The line between private and public life slips farther and farther into oblivion as our society continues to evolve towards digitalization. In the midst of all this progression, it’s easy to wonder how much is too

COVID-19 increases incoming mail at ND, demanding flexibility in mail distribution

Adriana Perez | Friday, August 21, 2020

Inside Notre Dame’s Mail Distribution Center, sorting shelves are carefully labeled and coded with blue, pink, orange and green Post-it Notes.

‘Fleabag’ scratches an itch for comedy-seeking audiences

Caroline Lezny | Wednesday, September 18, 2019

“I sometimes worry I’d be less of a feminist if I had bigger tits,” Fleabag says in the midst of a silent Quaker meeting. This scene provides the opening of the fourth episode of the show’s most recent season.

An autopsy of the Area 51 meme

Jim Moster | Thursday, August 29, 2019

In July 2019, a Facebook group called for the building of a coalition to storm Area 51 and “see them aliens.” Days later, the meme elicited an official response from the United States military. Celebrities and corporate social media jumped to capitalize on the running joke’s popularity. Then the meme died.  On the surface, the

The consequences of weak antitrust law

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, April 11, 2019

In a previous Observer letter to the editor I argued that the extreme wealth gap in America was partly attributed to misaligned personal incentives between corporate owners and managers. In the conclusion, I mentioned that I disagreed with prominent liberal voices that have recently been supporting a 70% marginal tax rate. In my opinion, this

Think twice about Amazon

Oliver Ortega | Tuesday, March 19, 2019

Amazon is taking over the world. I kid, I kid. But the thought comes to mind whenever I hear the latest about the “retail apocalypse” wrecking through a shopping mall near you. Or the up-to-date tally of Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos’s ginormous net worth ($140 billion and increasing by the day). Or, on
