‘The Apprentice’ was far better than it had any right to be
When I heard that a big-budget biopic about a young Donald Trump’s relationship with infamous lawyer Roy Cohn was hitting the movie theaters, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. ‘What’s the point?”, I thought. Aside from a handful of mythical undecided swing state voters, everyone and their mother has made up their mind about […]
Men’s soccer captures win against Rochester
Since our last publication, the men’s soccer team has played three games. As they share the same travel schedule with the women’s soccer team this year, they also traveled to Chicago to face the University of Chicago (UChicago) Maroons for one of these games.

The morality of the gacha
Gacha games—that is to say, games inspired off of “gachapon” machines, featuring gambling mechanics and usually made by eastern developers—have, to my eyes, become more and more popular in recent years. Games like “Genshin Impact” and “Arknights” have been quietly raking in billions of dollars and amassing loyal fanbases, while many western AAA developers seem […]

Like all the tropes and moments are there, but somehow the episode is missing that spark that makes the show great? Yeah, that was how I felt about Caramel Week. Now, it could simply be that […]

SEA circulates petition to bring back Sustainability Office
On Oct. 11, Students for Environmental Action (SEA) authored a petition to reopen Brandeis’ sustainability office. The petition noted, “As the climate crisis worsens, we are personally experiencing the consequences of anthropogenic climate change as seasons get warmer, storms get stronger, droughts last longer and flooding gets more severe.

‘Rise of Empires’ and the fall of my interest level
Mehmed the Conqueror (1432-1481) was quite possibly one of the most accomplished people to have ever walked the face of the earth. He first became Sultan of the Ottoman Empire at 12 years old, and conquered the city of Constantinople (now Istanbul) at the age of 21, thus ending the Roman Empire after nearly 2,000 […]
