Times sure are strange. The creeping vine of history wound around the podium at the Russia-U.S. summit in Helsinki, Finland, on July 16. President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin stood side by side, taking part in what many called a sly power move over the United States. Since, both…
This was the last week of Destination Kent State (DKS), where all the incoming freshmen spend a couple of days in Kent, go through orientation and create their schedules.
It seems a little silly to explain the virtue of so-called bad media to the internet as an audience, because, it seems, it’s finally been accepted into the realm of the sanctified. The Room (Oh hi, Mark,) The Rocky Horror Picture Show (I see you shiver with antici…,) Troll 2 (They’re eating …
