The Student Labor Action Coalition displayed a public art installation by UW-Madison undergraduate artists Natalie Hinahara and Steven Kaplan-Pistiner to commemorate the 1,129 people who died due to the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh two years ago Friday.
If you haven’t heard of Tidal yet, don’t worry; the streaming service backed by various big name artists such as Jay-Z and Kanye will whither away and die before you have a chance to stream one of their lossless quality songs. Two weeks ago, a conference was held in which several millionaire artists advertised the “premium” streaming service that would promise more money for artists on the site. This didn’t go over so well, as it’s hard to convince the common man that a millionaire on stage asking for more money has their best interests at heart.
I think one of the greatest and worst psychological defense mechanisms in the human mind is denial. It is an outright refusal to admit that something has occurred or is currently occurring. The irony is that what is used to protect us actually hinders progress and true peace. As a mechanism, it is so tempting to use, even when confronted with its faults.
Organizers of UW-Madison’s Go Big Read program announced Bryan Stevenson’s “Just Mercy” as next year’s shared reading novel Thursday, hoping to incite deeper thoughts on Madison’s racial inequalities through the text, a UW-Madison news release said.
This week I have a question for you guys: Have you ever noticed the number of people with headphones in on your way to class? I am one of those people, and I always find myself wondering what other people are listening to and why they are listening to it. After much consideration and wondering I think I’ve come to a conclusion: People listen to the songs they do based on how it makes them feel and what it means to them.
It’s no secret that teams live and die by their quarterbacks, both at the collegiate and professional level. As Wisconsin fans have endured for years, a team can only go so far on the shoulders of its running backs. When it gets to those crucial third-down situations late in games, teams have to throw the ball, and the ones with the better quarterback usually finish on top.
At 7:22 in the morning, 150 years ago today, the most brilliant political leader in our country’s history died, hunched over on a stranger’s bed that was too short for his body. He was 56 years old. In that time he accomplished more politically than anyone ever had and anyone ever will.

I’m on an airplane right now. Well, not right now, because by the time anyone reads this, spring break will have come to a close and I’ll be settling back into college life in Madison. But as I type these words I’m on a plane to Los Angeles, surrounded by people who might as well be miles away.
Should the state have the right to end people’s lives as a punishment? Is that ever going to be effective in reducing the pain and suffering inflicted by the most heinous crimes, let alone eradicating them completely? I do not deny that those who commit statutory wrongs in our society should be punished, but I wonder whether this particular disciplinary method is serving as an effective deterrent. Outside of certain particularized situations, I can no longer accept that it is.
Richard Nixon is the only American president in history to resign from office. Thanks to UW-Madison historian and professor Stanley Kutler, Americans heard thousands of hours of secretly recorded phone calls related to the Watergate scandal that drove Nixon out of office.
The last few years have been quite busy for Jessie Baylin. Raising her 2-year-old daughter Violet with her husband, Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill, is in itself a tough task, but she also spent that time creating Dark Place, her fourth album. It’s an album she wasn’t even sure she wanted to make. After the birth of her daughter, she felt that her time to create music might be over, and that’s partially what Dark Place is about. “You have a child and you sort of have this funeral for yourself in a way, because you assume that you can’t be the person that you once were. It doesn’t take away from the joy at all, but for me exorcising that out with this album was very healing,” Baylin said to The New York Times Magazine. The entire album is dedicated to her daughter, with lyrics that convey the complicated emotions that might come with starting a family, but the title track, a lullaby for the toddler, is especially touching.
Creativity and originality are dying in American media. As of late, remakes, adaptations and spin-offs have taken center stage in movies, television and literature. It is becoming much more difficult for new independent projects to enter into media’s center stage. While this may not seem like an issue, this is going to have a tremendously adverse effect on storytelling in the long run. it was recently announced that a live action movie based on the children’s cartoon “Winnie the Pooh” is going to be made by Disney. It is too early to tell whether this film is going to be any good, but the fact that yet another children’s story is being adapted or rebooted is concerning.
