As the birthplace of Big Tech, the U.S. is a global technological powerhouse. This is further seen in robotic systems and missiles used by the military. With this in mind, I was in shock when I stumbled upon Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ Twitter thread highlighting how outdated the state unemployment system is.

Everywhere I go on Twitter, I see a lot of talk about the stock market. It has been inescapable for the last few days. Since my early childhood, I have found the business section of newspapers the most nauseating. It’s not like I have a fear or hatred of math or do not understand the basic concept of profit and loss. I just found it rather muddling early on. As I grew older, I began looking further into how Wall Street worked and right from the get go, it felt morally questionable — in addition to still being quite muddling. My feelings haven’t changed since.

Sports in America come in various forms, with basketball, association football — or as North Americans would call it, soccer — football, baseball and ice hockey probably the most popular sports, in no particular order. Something that has often caught my attention is how American sports are organized. In fact, it somewhat inspired me to write this piece.

The 2020 Presidential Election was an emotional roller-coaster for all. Whether you were like me — an onlooker from thousands of miles away and in a different timezone, watching states like Georgia and Wisconsin flip in real time — or like my Cardinal-affiliated, America-based friends and colleagues who were likely losing sleep, it was a nerve wracking spectacle that tested everyone’s mental fortitude.

While most of the world focused on the unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck last November and lost it when the “armor glass” on the truck smashed — much to Elon Musk’s embarrassment — another unveiling was taking place in Amman, Jordan. Diametrically opposite to the chaos that the Cybertruck caused, this unveiling was peaceful and serene. It was hosted by none other than Coldplay, who released their most recent album Everyday Life via two live performances during the Jordanian sunrise and sunset that were streamed in their entirety on YouTube. The performances were meant to correspond to the two halves of the album titled “Sunrise” and “Sunset” and the location was a nod to the Middle Eastern influences of the album. Being a biased Coldplay fan, I found the performance to be quite godly, especially when meshed in with the beauty of Amman and indeed, the sunrise and the sunset, but unfortunately, I could not get anybody to appreciate the brilliance of the performance — and indeed, the album — at the time.

An unhinged tourist from a faraway land was found shaking violently in his hotel room, as broken glass was strewn all over the floor. There had been multiple murders — not of people, but of clocks. He sat there, looking ever so viciously at the damage he had done, slowly regaining his composure as hotel staff barged into his room, prepared for this moment by all the occasions they disregarded “Do Not Disturb” signs in their day-to-day work.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced most of the general population to rethink their approaches to many things in life, as pretty much everything has changed since mid-March. One such thing that has been affected significantly is socialization. Different people have always had different approaches to social interaction, with some thriving as social butterflies pre-pandemic, while others welcoming the slew of lockdowns as an opportunity to reset socially. Whatever one’s approach may be, the pandemic has turned out to be a great equalizer in a social sense.

As I looked forward to starting my undergraduate studies in America — coming from the UAE — I was excited for a multitude of reasons, none more so than experiencing what America stood for. A few identities stood out to me most prominently — namely America being a “melting pot” and the “land of the free.”

In recent news, UW-Madison announced the decision to make college admissions tests like the SAT and the ACT optional through Summer 2023, placing an even greater emphasis on holistic admissions.

Cardinal staffers are easily some of the quirkiest and most talented people in existence. After all, we have folks who can do flawless dead person impressions on the rickety couches in the office during peak work hours and masterful orators who treat the small office space as a State of the Union address with their booming voices.

Most of the articles I have written in my time as a contributor/editor at The Daily Cardinal have been on topics that touch me deeply. Topics that I feel strongly about. However, none of my previous pieces have been so entangled in my own personal experience.

I spent about four months in isolation — with almost everyone I knew having gone home. Wanting to preserve my sanity and not depend too heavily on texts to feel “normal,” I had to find something to engage in. So I binged on TV shows, rewatching previously watched favorites, but also doing some exploration based on recommendations and my own instinct. One show I did land upon during this time by myself was “30 Rock,” Tina Fey’s brainchild, which flies in the face of the misogynistic idea that women cannot be funny — something that the show amusingly pokes fun at.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented, taking most of the world by storm in mid-March and continuing to maintain a strong grip on the world. It was at this crucial juncture in March that thousands of international students flocked back home, completely in the dark about what their semester would look like after Spring Break.

While the coronavirus pandemic may have shed light on the flaws of existing social constructs, it did serve one positive purpose — bringing acts of violence to a near halt. But as restrictions are lifted, human hatred rears its ugly head again. The tragic news of police brutality claiming yet another life in George Floyd sent shockwaves around the world, sparking riots in cities across the United States and discourse demanding justice for him.
