What do time travel, a fairy godmother, a cat in a cradle and an imaginary dragon all have in common? If you’ve read the title of this article, you already know the answer. Each belongs to an iconic song written or performed by a former Cornellian — proof that Cornell’s influence reverberates far beyond grade deflation, frostbitten treks to class during never-ending winters and the annual herds of soon-to-be shell-shocked freshman swarming Collegetown during Orientation Week. That’s right; for all the CEOs, scientists and financiers Cornell has churned out since 1865, it also spawned an impressive collection of musical artists.

Seated across from Performing and Media Arts Director Samantha N. Sheppard, Thorne reflected on her journey as a young Black woman navigating both Cornell student life and, later, her blossoming career as an actress.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Cupertino. Right in the heart of Silicon Valley, Cupertino, California is a sunny suburban city home to boba shops, competitive schools and the Apple headquarters. When I heard that CBS would be releasing a new legal drama in October named after my hometown, I was ecstatic. Upon watching the trailer, this joy dissipated instantly.

In longstanding U.S. tradition, there has always been a need to go out west. Culturally, heading westward symbolizes freedom and opportunity for the individual and the collective. While true for many American migration movements, westward expansion itself was a deep process of displacement, carrying detrimental lasting effects on Indigenous American tribes and communities, which also relied on the labor exploitation of marginalized immigrants.

Under any capitalist or fascist regime, the enforcers of that system are the police. In the United States, policing departments regularly administer and protect the state’s monopoly on violence to maintain class and racial hierarchies while assaulting any efforts to disrupt this oppression. Thus, police and prison abolition has always been a fundamental struggle for the American left, especially in Black liberation movements.

This summer, an unforgettable time in pop culture history, was defined by Unicorn Frappuccinos, the great revival of the color turquoise, Knicks in 5, the “American Royal Wedding” of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the North American World Cup and, of course, another Spider-Man movie.

On this day, 25 years ago, the World Trade Center buildings in New York City were the targets of a terrorist attack that shocked the nation. Tragically, 2,977 victims lost their lives in these attacks in New York City, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. In the years that followed, President George W. Bush founded the Department of Homeland Security, the United States invaded Afghanistan and 20 years of military conflict in the Middle East began. The American people needed a beacon of hope, so they turned to movie theaters.

Personally, the most daunting idea of living alone was always the idea of having to cook. Dorms and the convenience of the dining halls provide a safe buffer for new college students between the comfort of living with your parents and becoming more independent. When the time comes for most sophomores to start looking for off-campus housing for junior year, the focus is finding a place close to campus and getting to live with friends. The kitchen is an afterthought.

In the bathroom stall adjacent to you, a woman is attempting to give birth while a minimum-wage Disney employee in a 47-pound Goofy suit attempts to usher her out. She refuses to leave. A short distance away, a man discreetly chucks the ashes of a loved one off the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride, amid a gaggle of screaming 10-year-olds. It will be vacuumed up by another worn-out janitor. This is an average day I envision being spent in the unsettling presence of Disney adults, and their arsenal of shenanigans they should have long outgrown. Despite this already saturated market of tomfoolery, I was bewildered to see that TikTok armchair analysts have turned on a new, less strange, creator to rip apart in the latest instalment of their bizarre witch hunts.

Most touchdowns by a tight end in program history, most receiving yards by a tight end in program history and numerous All-America honors represent just a few of senior tight end Ryder Kurtz’s many accomplishments with the Red.
