Late last month, a child was found unconscious in his Milwaukee-area home. The boy had accidentally swallowed an oxycodone pill from his mother’s purse while she slept. His mother found him after she woke up, something the two-year-old would never do again. The cause of the death was opioid overdose.
When Michael Penn II was nine years old, he had his first sip of alcohol. Mistaking his father’s glass of Hennessy in the fridge for a glass of Coke, the young Penn confidently took a sip of the dark beverage. The moment it touched his lips, he realized the mistake he had made and spit it back into the glass.
Eight minutes into the second period of Friday night’s game, Penn State dumped the puck into the Badgers’ zone on a seemingly harmless play. The puck, however, took a weird jump off the boards, bounced over freshman goalie Jack Berry’s stick, and found its way to Denis Smirnov right in front of the Badgers’ net for a goal that put the Nittany Lions up 3-2.
On Tuesday, freshman chemistry student Henry Fischer submitted his most recent exam to be regraded, asserting that his answers were not in fact wrong, but were “alternatively orrect.” During the exam, which took place on Monday a week prior, Fischer discovered that his high school study tactic of spending the majority of his waking hours watching Netflix, and not studying until the night before, had not prepared him to adequately answer questions regarding stoichiometry or the ideal gas law. However, he was still under the belief that his peers “totally did just as bad,” which Fischer thought to himself on his walk back to Sullivan Residence Hall. Thus he convinced himself that every other student had put the same amount of effort toward the exam as he had. It was therefore to Fischer’s surprise that upon opening his Learn@UW account the following Saturday, he discovered a grade of 31 percent and had in fact failed.Believing the score to be “total crap,” Fischer celebrated his perceived success by watching the entirety of “The Office’s” fifth season in one sitting, during which he received a phone call from his mother, Beverly, and affirmed to her that he had done “Fine.” However, when the exams were distributed in his Tuesday discussion, he could not believe that his TA had not altered their grading error and ultimately presented him with his 31 percent exam. It was even more to his dismay that when asked, “When will the retake be?”, his TA informed the class that there was no such thing. Still believing himself to have been cheated, Fischer made the conclusion that it was not his answers that were wrong, but the questions themselves.At the end of his class, Fischer spoke with his TA about his conclusion, and when shrugged off, walked around the Chemistry Building, moving up the chain of command until he “met” with a department faculty member. The faculty member, who wished to remain anonymous, exclaimed their disbelief that someone could be “So far removed from reality as to believe the exam questions were not written in a way that would cover the answers he intended to give.” Such answers include “2,” which instead of being an answer to a question regarding the molar mass of Argon, Fischer attributed to the question, “What Lecture are you in?” While a verdict has yet to be reached, the precedent surrounding the cases of the “Alt-Write” Organization (English majors who believe their essays contained Alternative English, as opposed to grammatical errors) does not bode well for Fischer.

“La La Land” is a movie about two beautiful people who are in love and are also following their dreams and also enjoy breaking out into song and dance sometimes.

Is the backlash deserved? Let’s discuss.

Migos break the system and give us CULTURE with no apology. In a record-label dictated industry and a politically shattering country, Migos’ trio of Quavo, Offset and Takeoff are just warming up. Migos live like mainstream millennials, but haven’t fallen under the pressure of the Hollywood industry. A Gwinnett County formed trio, Migos make me much more grateful and proud to know I went to high school a 15-minute drive from them.

We all know the shiny (and often misplaced) key to a successful date is thoughtful conversation. But in times like these, locating that key amid the patchwork of memes, passwords, fanatical behaviors and psychological scarring that fills our minds can be difficult. Luckily, if world-class conversationalists are stylish yet weatherproof furniture, then the Almanac is the veranda of a rich southern land baron—i.e., we got you.Here are some conversation starters to try with your next hot date.1. Warm ups. ’Cause you gotta spark a flame to start a fire.Do I know you?What is your name?How are you?Are you lactose intolerant?2. If you’ve gotten this far it’s likely the date is going well, and you’re probably about halfway through a coffee and/or ham sandwich. It’s time to get to know what your date is passionate about, and show them how cultural and smart you are.What is your favorite movie?Have you seen that video online with the lawnmower and that goat?Did it upset you?Did you finish watching it, anyway?If Rocky Balboa and Clubber Lang were in a hot dog eating contest, who would win?If Rocky got in a bar fight with Rambo, who would win?What if Rambo was wielding a broken pool cue?What if the Rocky that Rambo was fighting was from Rocky IV, and in peak condition after training to box Ivan Drago?Do you think it’s implied that Rocky dies after the end of “Creed,” or do you think it’s possible a few months of pushups and eating raw eggs could see Rocky make a full recovery from cancer?3. Closers. These are the figurative left hooks to end your date with. If all rounds of the date have gone well thus far, it’s important to throw the knockout questions and express interest in a second outing.Would explicitly showing Rocky die at the end of “Creed” be in bad taste, or a painful but necessary step in ensuring the future protection of an American cultural legacy?Do you think that scene from the first “Rocky” movie when Rocky doesn’t let Adrian leave his apartment until she kisses him is sexual assault, or an awkward but romantic moment that just doesn’t reflect well on him under current social norms?Have you ever seen the movie “Rocky?”What about the sequels?Have you ever been so excited about something that you were afraid if you did it and nobody was around to watch over you that you might accidentally hurt yourself in your fit of excitement because you were just so passionate about a certain topic and to experience it in its pure form would be like mainlining a potent drug?Are you interested in watching every training montage from the “Rocky” franchise, back-to-back, including “Creed,” with the lights off and the volume at full blast?
The Big Ten season is finally at the doorstep, and everyone is chomping at the bit to get things underway. There are 126 games before the conference tournament starts, and every team technically has a shot at the regular season title—even Rutgers. The Badgers are the favorite to take the crown, but there are several teams that stand in their way. They'll play each team before the season is through, and a few stand a good shot at beating them.
Before dipping into Big Ten play for what should be an eventful conference season, the No. 14 Wisconsin Badgers (10-2) host Florida A&M (2-10) Friday night in a matchup that could get ugly.
