We’ve all done it, or at least thought about doing it: tagging. It can take any number of forms, from bubble letters on the sides of buildings to symbols of protest on statues to doodling on your desk in the Olin Library stacks. Tagging is the most localized, accessible form of public expression, even if the tag in question means nothing in particular. The very act of tagging, classified as “making graffiti” by New York State law, can land you jail time and a fine; just in tagging anything at all, you’re making a statement against order. If you want to take a Marxist lens to it, you could be making a statement against the inviolability of private property. No matter the approach, the common thread between any tag is its disregard for the order of a space in which one found it. It’s a uniquely human thing to want to leave a mark on any space in which you enter, and tagging is the epitome of that.
Anyone interested in the horror genre will have heard of the original Faces of Death. Framed as a real documentary, the 1978 film compiled a mix of actual footage and staged recreations, all depicting death and gore. Before the internet provided easy access to all kinds of violent content, Faces of Death was entirely unique. Faces of Death became a kind of mythologized cult classic, and the rumors surrounding it were perhaps more interesting than the film itself. The film is a complete product of its time, representing an urge to witness violence that couldn’t be quelled by a simple internet search. So, when it was announced that Daniel Goldhaber would be directing a new take on the Faces of Death series, I was interested to see how he would bring an older phenomenon into the digital age. While Goldhaber is definitely successful at creating an entertaining film, Faces of Death (2026), unfortunately, ends up falling into the tropes and story beats of every other modern slasher, keeping this reboot from becoming truly great.
Crushes on celebrities have been a standard in pop culture. From Beatlemania in the ‘60s to One Directioners in the 2010s, people like to love celebrities. There’s almost this thrill that comes through admiring someone from a distance, someone rich and famous. I think celebrity crushes are partially based on the mystery around the person, as you don’t actually know them and therefore cannot have an accurate gauge of understanding how they truly are. That allows the crush to take more of a fictional element, allowing the admirer to impose a certain persona onto the celebrity.

Does size matter? The age old question. For some, length doesn’t compare to factors such as girth and motion. For others, a big dick is needed. If you consider yourself aligned with the latter half of people who need a larger asset to fulfill pleasure, ‘Catching print’ might be for you.

Chloe Asack ’26: Thumbs Down

Go to two mainstream movie theaters on opposite sides of the United States, and chances are that they are both playing modern releases like The Drama or The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. While those movies may be desirable to some, more often than not, audiences can feel stuck choosing between one poorly rated modern release and another. What if there were a theater where all of the movies were classic? What if there was a place where an intentional team hand-picked wonderful films that you could always count on for a good watch? Look no further than Cornell Cinema, our resident year-long film festival. Located under the busy hub of Willard Straight Hall, Cornell Cinema hums with the sound of manually operated projectors and offers a wide range of documentaries, animated films, Oscar-nominated features and new discoveries. So, grab a seat and get yourself some popcorn as we look at some of Cornell Cinema’s best showings this semester.
With Cornell’s iron grip on my social life, finding the time to go to Downtown Ithaca can feel like a feat in itself. Between back-to-back classes, problem sets and fighting for a seat in Temple of Zeus cafe, leaving the borders of campus feels impossible. But when I found out about Ithaca's very own cat cafe, I knew I had to make the time. So, one afternoon between classes, I rallied my friends and made the trek downtown to the wonderful Alley Cat Cafe, which, in my opinion, is peak Ithaca.

With the subtle emergence of cherry blossom season and volatile outbursts of blazing winds and rainstorms, it’s clear we are living in a season of uncertainty. Fortunately, Zayn Malik’s fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, exudes the palpable hope fluttering about in the air. With this new release, Malik affirms his new, authentic style to his audience by masterfully blending R&B with hints of South Asian harmonies.
Picture this: You’re walking in the library, down the street or quite literally anywhere on campus, and you see someone you kind of know — not particularly a friend, but not a stranger either. You debate in your head whether or not you should say “hi.” As you mentally go back and forth, you end up passing each other without even making eye contact, the awkwardness looming in the air as you both say nothing. Why do we do that? Why not just say hi?
