Former Attorney General Eric Holder emphasized a progressive politics “ripple effect” from Wisconsin into the rest of the nation during a campus visit Thursday.
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The King and I” might take the cake when it comes to virtually fossilized, ethnocentric and downright offensive pieces of American theatre. Maybe its “white savior” narrative and hyperbolic representation of Thai culture were considered all fine and dandy when this show debuted in 1951. But in our wanting-to-be-woke society of today, there was no justifiable reason for this show’s revival tour and subsequent stent at the Overture Center from Feb. 26 to March 3.

In its final contest of the regular season, 21st-ranked Wisconsin basketball (14-6 Big Ten, 22-9 overall) beat Ohio State (8-12, 18-13) 73-67 in overtime Sunday at the Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio. With the win, the Badgers continued their momentum entering the postseason, having won 10 of their last 13 games down the stretch. Here are the takeaways from the game:
To win a single event at the NCAA national championships is a tough task for any athlete up against most of the world’s top college-age competition.
So, it’s the first week of March and it is still reaching sub-zero temperatures, which is problematic to say the least. With spring break just over a week away, there’s still plenty of time to enjoy the winter season, for it very well may be cold until finals roll around.
A letter to you.
Rumor has it that if you score twice in sudden death overtime it counts as two wins.
Travis Scott has built a reputation as one of hip-hop’s definitive musicians today. While his studio music and his live shows have become memes, both are no joke: ASTROWORLD was one of the best hip-hop albums in 2018 and his recent tour, “ASTROWORLD-WISH YOU WERE HERE TOUR 2,” stopped in Milwaukee’s sold-out Fiserv Forum this past weekend to prove he is nothing less than an electrifying performer.
Feel like the cold has sucked some of the love out of February? With the end of the month coming near, it also means the end of Random Acts of Kindness month.
Nearly five decades ago, in the passion of my youth, I wrote an essay for this newspaper entitled “women and capitalism” (lowercase letters in the original). I cared deeply for the former and had little use for the latter. The piece discussed the financial equity gaps for white and black women, and those chasms were outrageous. In 1970, women earned 59 cents for every dollar men earned, and this nasty reality prevailed despite the passage of the Equal Pay Act in 1963.
Revenge was swift and sweet for Wisconsin as the Badgers (4-11 Big Ten, 13-14 overall) won confidently against Illinois (2-14 Big Ten, 10-17 overall) in a 75-67 grudge match Wednesday night. The game knots the overall series record at 37-37 as both teams have exchanged wins with each other this season.
Ariana Grande ended 2018 as the most relevant pop star and for good reason. Grande released her fifth studio album, thank u, next, just over five months after the well-received Sweetener. She experienced astounding commercial success, all while crafting her unique brand and reviving pop through heavy EDM, R&B and hip-hop influence.
Broadway’s tenth anniversary tour of Rock of Ages travelled to the Overture Center on Feb. 7 to bestow its hilarious and harmonious blend of rock and musical theatre upon the people of Madison. While, yes, the crescendos were deafening and the performances astounding, the show was definitely closer to a 1980s rock concert than a 2018 Broadway musical, so there is a certain mindset needed in order to fully enjoy this production.
As temperatures in Madison dropped toward -50 degrees Fahrenheit during the Polar Vortex last week, few people ventured outside for even fifteen minutes. Imagine if you were one of the local cardinals, deer or fox who live outside year-round, including the chilling winter months. How would you keep warm while temperatures remained below zero Tuesday through Thursday?
In his three years with Wisconsin, Mark Johnson racked up a program-record 125 goals through a combination of accurate shooting, elite skating, smart play with the puck and timely hockey instincts.

“Resident Evil 2” made a lot of waves back in 1998, but looking back at it now, it’s hard to believe anyone was scared by it. Don’t get me wrong, it still has its charm, and if testimonials are anything to go off of, there were plenty of kids and young adults who were outright traumatized by it in its heyday. But even by the standards of its contemporaries, there’s a lot of shortcomings in the original “Resident Evil 2.”
On Thursday, Jan. 31, Madison was on the back end of the worst week of cold weather that many of us have ever seen. Residents were told to stay inside, turn up the heat and not leave unless it was necessary. Surely, no one would be in the mood to celebrate just yet with temperatures well below zero and snow falling steadily, right? Well, Madison’s music and concert scene didn’t seem phased one bit.
Following a snow emergency warning issued Sunday, Madison and Dane County services have geared up to deal with the snow storms and low temperatures predicted for Monday and Wednesday.
