You are enough

Caitlin Brannigan | Wednesday, September 7, 2022

In 2016, 15-time Grammy award-winning singer Alicia Keys gave up wearing makeup.  “I realized I became addicted to it; I didn’t feel comfortable without it,” Keys said. After years of adorning a full face of makeup almost every day, she felt that the pressure to constantly look perfect took a toll on her self-esteem: “I

Murder, mayhem and moral dilemmas

Ellie Konfrst | Tuesday, September 28, 2021

“We don’t think that murder is funny, we don’t think that people being killed is funny — we just think that we’re funny.” The very first podcast I ever listened to regularly was “My Favorite Murder,” a comedy podcast that falls into the popular and highly lucrative family of true crime podcasts. It is one

9/11 and the media

David Henry | Thursday, September 23, 2021

9/11 was a tragedy. Many lost their lives and many more suffered indirectly through the loss of loved ones and the psychological stress caused by the event. Surely it is an event worth discussing, being the first attack on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor, but 20 years later, why does it still hold so much

Liked, shared, delivered: Do you get your news from social media?

Renee Yaseen | Monday, April 26, 2021

When I log onto social media, my typical feed consists of an ample mix of my friends’ pictures, memes and political content. Now more than ever, we use social media to get, spread and react to news. This can be a good thing: social media allows ordinary people to share their viewpoints and perspectives. We

An Open Letter to The Associated Press

Mike Donovan | Friday, September 8, 2017

This is a satire. Relax. Listen up America. Brace yourselves. The knowledge bombs are coming. They’ll rain down on the soft, fluffy snowbanks of the mainstream media, #disrupting the liberal status quo and #leveraging a new era of truth in the journalistic swamp. The Associated Press — a sadistic institution bent on wiping American Exceptionalism,

Making a comeback: On advertising and Alfa Romeo

Nick Laureano | Tuesday, February 14, 2017

If you watched the Super Bowl for the commercials but don’t consider yourself a “car person,” then you might have found yourself wondering: What’s an Alfa Romeo? It’s a car, but the full answer to that question isn’t quite so simple. Perhaps as a function of its Italian heritage — with the racing credentials, beauty

A glance at the ballot suggests that this year’s candidates all appear to be human and pro-democracy. This observation may seem obvious or nonsensical, but a look back at the history of SBP elections shows that pro-democracy ideals or even personhood are not characteristic of all candidates.
