I have spent a lot of time thinking about what it means to be a public administration student at Cornell.
I’ve always been a firm believer in separating the art from the artist.
The Cut put a picture to your deepest, darkest (one might say steamiest) bathhouse fantasies in its most recent Men’s Style Issue. Aptly named “The Boys in the Baths,” it profiles the Russian & Turkish Baths on E. 10th Street in New York’s East Village via high-definition photos of highly attractive men. Operating since 1892, The Russian & Turkish Baths self-brands as a “health club,” and has played sweat-inducing host to New York’s stars for decades. Despite the feature’s (somewhat flinching) narrative of saunas as sites of recuperation, the photos do nothing to deter from their popular impressions of raunchiness.
OpenAI claimed in September that one of its models had solved a mathematical problem worth one million dollars: the Navier-Stokes Problem.
“I'm here because sitting in Morrison for seven hours is easier than what Jane Doe actually had to go through,” said demonstrator Myshay Causey ’29.
Discourse is vital, and I am never one to discourage it. Social media is a powerful tool when wielded for good, and social media platforms have been very effective in increasing global awareness about Jane Doe’s lawsuit.
As a freshman, I’ve been searching since August for undiscovered spots on campus, including niche study spaces. On Oct. 30, I found one. First floor of Uris Library — the main area, not the Harry Potter part — around the corner where the two handicap-accessible bathrooms are located and to the right exists the Uris Library stacks, which, while maybe not as impressive as those in Olin Library, house shelves and shelves of the written word. On the windowed side of these shelves sits a row of study carrels. My phone was dead, so I chose the closest one with an outlet. But, when I went to plug my adapter in, my eyes were drawn to the surrounding white-painted brick wall. The brick had been graffitied with black Sharpies and black pens — pens probably identical to the one I had used to take lecture notes with not even an hour prior. The graffiti revealed student thoughts and messages from years past.

To say Phoebe Bridgers returned from the grave would be an understatement. Six years after her sophomore album, Punisher, catapulted the indie darling to major success, Bridgers makes her listeners hurt and heal with her newest project, Lost Weekend. Bridgers is known for her gut-wrenching lyrics and soft, melancholic tone; her debut album, Stranger in the Alps, is famous for its nostalgic “Scott Street” and iconic “Motion Sickness.” In this 2017 album, Bridgers gave the world a taste of her poetic genius with lyrics like “I buried a hatchet / It’s coming up lavender” and “Wishing I was someone else / feeling sorry for myself / When I remembered someone’s kid is dead." However, it was her 2020 masterpiece, Punisher, that solidified her status as, in my opinion, the world’s best “sad pop girl.”

Word on the street is that rom-coms are back. Original films like Voicemails for Isabelle and book adaptations like People We Meet On Vacation and The Love Hypothesis have been flooding the streaming platforms as of late. But did rom-coms ever really leave? If you’ve seen any of the publicity for The Love Hypothesis, odds are you’ve seen Lili Reinhart’s press tour dresses that pay homage to iconic rom-coms like 13 Going On 30 and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Rom-coms like these never left the cultural imagination, and there was certainly never a lapse of them on my personal screen. I, for one, have found three separate occasions to watch When Harry Met Sally … and write about it for class. The immediate recognizability of Reinhart’s wardrobe proves that rom-coms can’t really be “back” if they never actually left. Her homage to Kate Hudson’s iconic dress in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days did leave me with another lingering thought, though: how interesting the synonymity of Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” with How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is. Simon’s body of work is incredibly expansive yet still personal, and she has the uncanny ability to write a song that is both lyrically specific and can apply to almost any woman. This is why “You’re So Vain” works so well in the film — Carly Simon understands herself, but she also understands you. Simon writes songs that meet a girl where she’s at, so this week’s Test Spin is dedicated to the home of “You’re So Vain,” the 1972 record No Secrets.

Everyone knows Ezra Cornell’s motto, “ … any person … any study,” but does anyone really know that Cornell, so bound to its international origins, once had a secondary motto, declaring, “Above all nations is humanity”?
Can you really say you’ve lived in Ithaca if you haven’t waited in a never-ending line for hot cider donuts during Apple Fest? Not in my book. The line isn’t too bad, though, if you take the time to look around at your surroundings. And what a sight it is!
