Coming into Friday night’s game against Michigan (1-3), there were a litany of questions surrounding the No. 10 Wisconsin (2-0) football program. Nobody knew about quarterback Graham Mertz’s status, who would miss the game due to COVID-19, or how the team would respond after missing two consecutive weeks of practice. Expectations were high, but some rust was certainly expected.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services added a “critically high” category to their disease activity dashboard Wednesday, reflecting a surge of COVID-19 activity in the state.
Many UW-Madison students are accustomed to traveling home for the Thanksgiving holiday, but this year students have more obstacles to consider before they pack their bags.
I’m going to be honest and say I hadn’t seen any of “The Boys” until September when a good friend recommended it to me. The day after he told me I should check it out, I watched the first episode.Then the second. And then it only seemed right to watch the third. Within four days I had blown through the first season and half and was eagerly awaiting the next episode’s release on Amazon Prime Video.
It’s been twenty years since Gorillaz’ first commercial release, Tomorrow Comes Today, an EP highlighted by its ominous-yet-funky title track. Damon Albarn and his collaborators have since released seven studio albums, with “Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez” being the latest off the assembly line. The latest helping of seventeen highly synergic songs were composed, produced, and recorded in strange times indeed — almost exclusively during the coronavirus lockdown. Initially a sequence of isolated singles released on a monthly basis, Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez is an unexpected galaxy of sound that bounces around genres, styles and even languages. Somewhat surprisingly for an album composed partially of stand-alone singles, no one song really rises above the others and blows you away. Ultimately, Gorillaz’ seventh studio album displays a rich enough sound to leave the listener satisfied, if not a little disoriented. But one thing is crystal clear — Gorillaz have mutated and evolved in unanticipated and fascinating ways.
Wisconsin’s future got a little brighter last Friday, as the Badgers received a commitment from three-star wide receiver Markus Allen in the Class of 2021.

The moment a 12-year-old girl approached artist Isha Camara to tell her the color she painted onto a board covering an Overture Center window was her favorite shade, Carolina blue, Camara knew her intended contribution to the State Street Mural Project was realized.
Heading into the Nov. 3 election, we are in crisis mode.

I started to realize that I was gay one year after the Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that legalized same-sex marriages across the nation. As I was figuring out who I was, I was lucky enough to know that whether I was gay, straight or somewhere in between, I would be able to marry whoever I wanted.

It’s spooky season folks. But for those of you who aren’t scared of werewolves or vampires, take a closer look at what’s truly terrifying: UW-Madison’s reluctance to commit to clean energy and the economic consequences we’re facing because of their prioritization. So the most common rebuttals you hear when someone says we need to wean our society off fossil fuels is “But that will hurt the economy”, or “That’ll cause job loss”. What these rebuttals fail to take into account is that our economy and our job market are already suffering the effects of fossil fuels, in ways that Wisconsinites need to see. It isn’t just the national economy and job market that are suffering from the fossil fuel industry and the effects of climate change. Each community in Wisconsin is facing its own unique struggles. The economic damage from climate change is getting harder and harder to ignore. This past January, unprecedented storms over Lake Michigan caused over $30 million in damages. In 2018, the Baraboo River flooded and hit an all-time high in southwest Wisconsin, causing the governor to issue a statewide emergency. That same year, record-setting flooding caused over $154 million in damages to Dane County. I don’t know about you, but our county losing over $150 million to climate change induced flooding doesn’t exactly help me sleep well at night. We’re not even taking into account the thing our state loves the most: dairy. Shifting temperatures will weaken the state’s dairy industry even more. As the weather gets warmer, cows eat less and produce less milk. No more Babcock ice cream for us. And that’s just one section of our state’s agriculture. Wisconsin’s crop yield will suffer due to changing seasonal trends and unprecedented heat waves within the next few years. The UW-Madison administration needs to step up and commit to 100% renewable energy immediately. If they don’t, these negative effects will continue to wreak havoc on our local economy and communities. Maya Barwick is a freshman studying Environmental Sciences.
