I’m not a sports fan. I never have been and I probably never will be. Not for lack of trying though because I tried for half of my life to either excel at some sport or really fall in love with one. I couldn’t do either and never do I feel that loss more as when I witness the love and devotion for a sport by thousands, if not millions of people during sporting events.
Professional Rapper Tour was not something to be overlooked. This past Friday Lil Dicky was watching the Badger game while preparing for a sold-out crowd at the Majestic Theatre. They played the Badger game with an open bar before the concert. They have a nice screen that proved to be useful later in the night. My best friend was downtown and ready to see his first show ever at the venue. I was pretty impressed by how hyped the crowd was when arriving.
Let’s be honest here, with a show like “The Book of Mormon” you are already walking in expecting to see profanity, crudeness and a more than healthy amount of offensiveness. The show is, after all, created by the same diabolically devious minds behind “South Park:” Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone. The show’s biggest weapon is its shock value, but how shocking can such a value really be when people are turned toward you already salivating, with heaving bosoms, to be shocked? The answer lies in the progressively more breathier gasps of the elderly lady feasting her sensibilities of this atrocity next to me last Wednesday at the Overture Center.
The state agency charged with investigating the officer-involved shooting of 19-year-old Tony Robinson last week is expected to complete its work in the next two weeks, state Attorney General Brad Schimel said Thursday.
In what is reported to be gang-related violence in an ongoing dispute, Jeffrey E. Mitchell shot 18-year-old Lawrence E. Drake on Russett Road after firing shots at a group of rival gang members in the parking lot of West Towne Mall Feb. 28, according to the case file.
State Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, pulled into a gas station Friday night and saw firsthand why a bipartisan law she co-authored during the last Assembly session is so important.
UW-Madison got to experience a community celebration in the Jamaican tradition called Moonshine, thanks to professor Chris Walker. For the past seven years, students have shared a piece of themselves in response to the world around them. This year, with a full moon simulated onto the stage backdrop, students offered the same powerful energy.
For those of us who grew up with Studio Ghibli’s films, animation has always felt like a safe space. It was a portal to explore the troubled morality of the world without feeling trapped by it. Sure, bad guys do exist—be they big-nosed witches, tree-burning industrialists, or belligerent polities—but by the end they are always vanquished or revealed to be somewhat decent. If hope seemed faint, it would always return by the end.
Gov. Scott Walker and UW System officials came briefly under fire Friday after a nonpartisan analysis of Walker’s recent budget proposal showed it deletes one of the reporting methods for sexual assaults on UW campuses required under current state law.
A road trip is more than traveling from point A to B. Like everything around us it can be just that, simply a route to travel to reach somewhere, but sometimes, it can encompass the entirety of American mythology regarding road trips within it and be so much more. It ceases to be a route to get somewhere and takes the form of an adventure, one that takes you on uncharted water and exposes you to unexpected things. There is nothing quite like having the late afternoon sun kissing your face, the wind dancing through your hair and the great expanse of a road in front of you, waiting for you to envelope it. It is the epitome of ways to find yourself at this time in your life, to drive away in your car, alone or with a few friends, and let your mind think and dream in ways you didn’t know were possible. Regardless of the reasons, it will bring you the clarity you so desperately need. Better yet, it will bring you much more.
A butterfly flaps its wings somewhere and a hurricane ravages an entire area elsewhere. There might be days where everything about us feels small, insignificant and unnecessary. It is difficult to fathom what our being here really means or contributes in the grand scheme of things. Sometimes can all feel like the hypnotic chug-chug of a train rolling down old wooden tracks; the courses, clubs, weekends, games. Rolling down the same path it always has, making the same sounds and traveling the same route. It isn’t morbid but human curiosity to wonder what the world would be like if we hadn’t been pushed out, squalling and terrified from the first moment, into it.
When most students think of presidents and UW-Madison their thoughts drift to one of the more famous sites on campus: the stately statue of Abraham Lincoln perched atop Bascom Hill. This underscores the rich history of presidential visits to the city of Madison and the UW-Madison campus.
Society deemed it necessary we have a day for love—showing, in my opinion, how little the very same society actually knows about love, thinking it can be squeezed into a day, that it can actually encompass it—and thus began an almost rabid furor for Valentine’s Day. The commercial build up is quite epic to witness, with pink and red slowly appearing everywhere you look weeks before the actual day. The day itself is supposed to be one of great business for bakeries and flower shops. But what comes after?
Three gun-wielding suspects forced their way into and attempted to rob a residence on the 1400 block of Williamson Street Thursday, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
Police arrested a man for battery and disorderly conduct after he assaulted a man who is legally blind on Atwood Avenue shortly after midnight Wednesday, according to a report from the Madison Police Department.
The Detroit Pistons, once owners of a 5-23 record midway through December, are now 2.5 games out of a playoff spot in the (L)Eastern conference. Did they go on an amazing run to approach a .500 record, a respectable and deserving win-loss total for a playoff team?
Transnational terrorism has haunted us for many years, yet the current crisis with ISIS is quickly becoming one of the most unique cases we have witnessed so far. ISIS is one of the most dangerous and powerful terrorist groups in the globe, but how does it continue to exist and to trap us in fear? The political theorist Hannah Arendt once said, “Fear is an emotion indispensable for survival.” We should be able to use fear for the purpose of survival. In order to do so, we need to dig deeper.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., held a hearing Wednesday to discuss the importance of information sharing in cybersecurity and heard testimony for revised legislation.
The recent murders of satirists in France have awakened the world to how seriously religious extremism threatens the principle of free speech. Now, liberals need to capitalize on this awakening with messages that reflect the critical need to preserve this basic human right in pressing times. Sure, the word “capitalize” may initially come across as hypocritical, particularly when many liberals favor a system of socialism (for legitimate reasons, in my opinion), but these ideologies are not motivated by any profit, nor any prophet. Don’t get me wrong—my heart bleeds as much as Jane Fonda’s circa 1972, however, I have come to terms that as liberals, we often find ourselves in a community with too many soapboxes and not enough…soap consumers? (I would say “too many Chiefs and not enough Indians,” but I wouldn’t want to be on the same level as the Washington Redskins).
It is curious how a new year brings with it the longing for new beginnings, new attitudes and a new self. How much of it is actually possible though still seems quite shrouded in uncertainty, but there is no denying the furor of resolutions we witness around us during this time. I, for one, have always held quite a healthy amount of disdain for New Year’s resolutions. It seems superfluous for me to hold out for the hand of the clock to strike midnight into the new year to put into affect everything you want to do, and all that you wish to change.
