A trend of people claiming to be “in a very Chinese time of my life” broke out across social media toward the end of 2025, highlighting significant characteristics of Chinese culture, like wearing Chinese inspired clothes, cooking Chinese food and noting the Year of the Horse for new beginnings on Jan. 1 far before the actual celebration of the Lunar New Year on Feb. 17.
The Super Bowl has always been an explosion of branding, celebrity and patriotism compressed into a single night of unity and celebration. What unfolded around this year’s halftime show, however, revealed something less polished: a divided country arguing about political undertones.
On any given day, on any given road, on any given Madison city bus, headphones cover the ears of nearly every public-transit patron. Walking down the street, the picture doesn’t change much — heads-down, thumbs up, poking and prodding an LED-screen to select the new song of the moment while walking down East Johnson Street.
Last week, University Health Services sent an email notifying University of Wisconsin-Madison students about a confirmed case of measles on campus, with 4,000 individuals directly notified of their exposure.

The phrase “forgive but never forget” is often framed as wisdom — a way to appear healed while staying vigilant. But when you look closer, the phrase carries a contradiction. Holding on to hurt is not forgiveness. It is resentment with better branding.
The United States has always had a strong response to periods of economic fluctuation: the call for increased deportations. This is political theater and the government’s way of redirecting public anxiety and putting the strain on vulnerable communities, minorities and marginalized people. During economic downturns, labor instability and financial stress lead to heightened immigration enforcement.

When Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin took over at the University of Wisconsin-Madison four years ago, she entered an unwinnable situation.
Recently, I came across an article in the Madison Federalist critiquing Marxism. I engaged with it, hoping for an informed discussion on Marxist concepts, but I was met with disappointment. The author, Aiden Wirth, claimed they “became interested in Marxist thought through TikTok videos” and heavily relied on quotes from various Catholic Popes, without actually quoting Karl Marx or any Marxist work.
Once upon a time, there was a collective belief in empathy in the United States. Compassion was a virtue and a widely accepted one at that. If someone was in danger, you helped them, or at least felt bad for them. Many people would have stepped in if they saw wrongdoing because harm demanded a response. That instinct — to intervene, protect and care — has always been treated as a social good, a marker of shared humanity.
Scroll through Instagram or TikTok long enough and you’ll see it: grainy mirror selfies, Snapchat captions, awkward outfits and timestamps filled with 2016. Logically, the photos aren’t impressive. They’re blurry, poorly cropped and unapologetically casual. And yet, people keep reposting them, over and over again — not only because everyone else is doing it, but because of what it means.
Intro
Zohran Mamdani beat out former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his campaign for mayor of New York City with purpose and precision. His campaign highlighted three main goals: fast and free buses, free child care and freezing rent — ideas that would completely transform the life of an average New Yorker.
“The day the music died” are lyrics musician Don McLean dedicated to Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens after a 1959 plane crash took their lives. Now, it can be applied to the fatal use of artificial intelligence in music.
Luigi Mangione should not be famous. And yet, in some corners of TikTok, his name has become a pop culture gag. It’s absurd, weird and exactly the kind of humor that Gen Z loves.
I was sitting at a table in the annex of Michelangelo’s Coffee House, spacing out over my assigned reading for English 245 and eavesdropping on a group of elderly men who gathered at a table next to mine for their weekly get-together. Through the window, a moving truck twisted its way into the small cul-de-sac behind the café, attempting to loop its tail around a vintage Ford Bronco before the driver eventually gave up and sent a boy in a cream-colored uniform to look for the owner of the obstacle.
