The Cowboys suffered a brutal loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday, losing an embarrassing 26-6. After this game, I do not see how anyone thinks they are Super Bowl contenders. This is hands down the worst loss this year and it is not even close. In his first game, Dak Prescott, the same QB on a record 160...

And according to recent evidence, the Russians plan to neutralize possibilities of American interference. While we don't know much about the tech, the CIA has deciphered that the S.T.A.I.R.S. (systematic tripping and intentional retribution structure) functions by deactivating Biden's calves...
As a precursor to Nicholas Christon '24 and I's all-encompassing Fast Food Tier List (work in progress) I sought the origin of easily the best fast food restaurant we have eaten at so far. Taco Bell.

For...
After several failures of literary and journalistic merit arising from associate editors and freshmen staff writers, his most holy, exultant, blessed, and glorious Dr. Degen has instituted a new system of punishment for disobedient reporters. With the ascent of Logan Thompson, Editor in Chief, Kevin Babu, Managing Editor, Griffin Taber, Chief Associate Editor, as well as all senior editors present,...
While 2020 hasn't been a great year for humanity, it has been great for meme-makers. The memes and group chats have become top-tier distractions from the crippling loneliness of quarantine. Scrolling through my favorite sites for online content got me thinking: Why don't I help pass some time by talking about some of the people you'll most likely see...
