A year after Selina Meyer’s upset in the presidential election, HBO’s sixth season of “Veep” doesn’t miss a beat as it follows the team in their new roles. With its quick quips and slightly dark humor, “Veep” remains solid even as the show’s setting shifts.
Wednesday night, I think I may have stepped into a 1980s high school dance scene in a John Hughes movie. Tennis was the featured band, playing tunes that matched the retro vibes of their clothing and vocalist Alaina Moore’s voluminous curls.
For all the praise this year’s Oscars field garnered for being diverse and inclusive, the awards show still featured a familiar shortcoming: zero women nominated for Best Director. This isn’t unusual: In 85 of the show’s 89 ceremonies, the category has been all male, and only four females have ever been nominated (Kathryn Bigelow is the lone winner for “The Hurt Locker”).
Spring break is great because you can do a lot of great things during spring break:
Carrie Fisher, best known for her role as Princess Leia Organa in the "Star Wars" franchise, died Tuesday morning at the age of 60 due to heart complications.
Performance on game days doesn’t solely revolve around the football team. Wisconsin’s Spirit Squad—cheerleading, dance and the university mascot, Bucky—also has to win for the crowd.
As Rio looms just around the corner, over 50 current and former Badgers across seven sports have qualified for the Olympic Trials, and in some cases have already made the team. Here are just some of the stories of the Badger athletes that have a chance to compete in Brazil.
Blayre Turnbull was used to playing in front of raucous, sellout crowds in LaBahn Arena. But after her illustrious four-year Badger career concluded last spring, Turnbull traded in her red and white Wisconsin jersey for a red and white Calgary Inferno jersey.
The new Netflix original documentary series “Chelsea Does,” released Jan. 23, follows comedian Chelsea Handler as she analyzes the bizarreness of society. Its unique format consists of four episodes, each with a different social topic into which Chelsea fearlessly: marriage, Silicon Valley, race and drugs. It is impossible to fully capture the depth surrounding each of these issues—that would take hours and hours. However, Chelsea does succeed in stimulating discussion and providing thought-provoking overviews.
Recently, two similar yet undeniably different series returned for new seasons: HBO’s “Girls” and Comedy Central’s “Broad City.” Both are half-hour comedies centering around women in their 20s exploring what adulthood should look like in New York City. The shows have gained popularity over the years and have contributed to the established new breed of television I like to call “Manhattan Jewish girl coming-of-age comedies.” The pioneering series to set this trend was “Sex and the City,” HBO’s successful show starring Sarah Jessica Parker as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw surrounded by her posse of single women with their shared love of NYC. There have been other recreations of this narrow subgenre, yet “Broad City” and “Girls” seem to contribute their own spin to the formula.
After numerous years of youth basketball, four years at the high school level, four years of college ball and one year of professional basketball, the game starts to become the only job you know. Life becomes centered around turning the dream of becoming a professional basketball player into a reality. Still, there comes a time in every player’s life where that dream has to be altered, as playing the sport can no longer serve as your profession.

Giving private businesses the right to “discriminate” (control who they conduct business with) isn’t about discrimination—it’s about private property rights. Fighting for social justice, equality, and tolerance is a very noble cause, but there comes a point when passing legislation to attempt to make things right actually makes things wrong.
I’ve heard friends and music critics alike describe many an album as “timeless.” I more often than not agree with their selections; The Velvet Underground & Nico, Loveless and Endtroducing….. are just a few of the albums that still sound fresh when played today. But in the back of my mind, I fear that these albums just operate on a longer timeline, their relevancy decaying at an unnoticeable rate, but all the while still decaying.
The Weeknd – Beauty Behind The Madness
Given 100 guesses as the year began on how Hillary Clinton might transform her second presidential campaign from coronation into catastrophe, a furtive home-brew email network would not have been one of them. The shadowy operation is unsettling on its own. The former secretary of state put herself in the center of a deadly minefield each time she used her secret email account to conduct official business.
“Mamma Mia” may just be theater’s ultimate feel-good tale of love conquering all. Written by Catherine Johnson back in 1999 to the music of ABBA, 54 million people have seen the musical, which has earned over 3 billion dollars. Having grown up listening to those songs either through my parents or my school’s music teacher, and having heard the story of it since before Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep’s movie, it was truly a remarkable pleasure finally watching it in theater Tuesday at the Overture Center.
It’s not discussed too often, but musical composition is wedded to mathematics. The way certain frequencies and tones sound good together is an artistic extension of physical laws that govern our universe. We currently live in an era of human technology where a computer program can make a piano composition so genuine that humans can’t distinguish its creation from a fellow human’s. Slowly, every part of our society that we used to accredit to mysticism and luck can now be explained by modern mathematical algorithms. Perhaps not in our lifetimes, but soon enough maybe even the human brain will be seen as nothing more than a series of biological wires and programming.
—Have to start reading for fun now.
The New York Times published an article this past Tuesday stressing the importance of foreign policy in the impending race among Republican presidential contenders. With the national economy improving under President Obama’s term and foreign policy challenges, like the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the Middle East and U.S.-Russia relations surrounding the Ukraine crisis, hawkish conservatives will undoubtedly look for political strength in foreign issues.
