The Town of Lansing Planning Board held their monthly public town meeting Monday night to review the proposed TeraWulf data center project, raising concerns about drawing water from Cayuga Lake and potential impacts from construction.
David Lowery’s Mother Mary takes place over the course of one night, when pop star Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) comes to her former costume designer and friend, Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), for a dress, days before a huge comeback performance. Inspired by iconic designer-performer pairings like Lady Gaga and Alexander McQueen and Madonna and Jean Paul Gaultier, the pair were once close collaborators, but fell out when Mary rose to fame and began pushing Sam away. While Sam played a major role in shaping the look and persona of Mother Mary, her contributions were often swept under the rug. Years later, Mary realizes that the only person who truly knows her and can create an outfit for her that feels authentic is Sam. Over the course of the night, the two, locked together in Sam’s workshop, unravel the complicated thread of their relationship, both personal and professional, and begin to understand the extent of their connection.

Malak Abuhashim ’24 M.Eng. ’24 will speak at an “Alumni Activist Panel” on Wednesday, hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine at Cornell and The Progressives at Cornell, sponsored by Gender Justice Advocacy Coalition and affiliated with Muslim Educational and Cultural Association and the Kashmiri Cultural Alliance.
In response to student backlash after the Cornell Law Federalist Society hosted controversial speakers Amy Wax and John Eastman, Dean Jens Ohlin wrote to the student body that the law school does not screen speakers for their political beliefs in a Tuesday night email.
At the front of the room stood a podium, a piano and a harpsichord. Displayed beside the musical instruments was a 1795 pastel illustration by Italian artist Anna Tonelli, depicting two young women and a piano. This was the setup for “Piano Portraits: Art and Music-Making in London, ca. 1800,” the last in a series of three piano-focused events this semester at Cornell’s Johnson Museum of Art. The combined lecture and concert, organized around the Johnson Museum’s recent acquisition of Tonelli’s piece, beautifully intertwined British art and music of the time period by alternating between presentations on various female artists and composers and live performances of the music they composed.
Of all the media available at the click of a button, from reruns of classic TV dramas to the latest series available on Netflix, I find the old Lifetime-style movies, originally released on channels such as Lifetime, NBC, ABC and CBS from the ’80s to early 2000s, to be the most underrated. Easily found on platforms such as YouTube and Tubi, often for free, these movies are parables that offer a time capsule of the past while resonating in the present. These movies cover real-life issues, often true-stories, such as mental illness, unsolved crime and family strife. There are always deeper themes driving these films; jealousy, injustice, insecurity and a fast-paced, dramatic plotline makes the stories relatable and unforgettable. I’ve often watched these movies in an effort to escape everyday life, quickly finding myself immersed in the story and attached to its characters. Despite their reputation as corny and predictable, these dramatic but true-to-life movies have managed to captivate me and stay with me longer than almost any other style of film. Here are three of my favorite vintage Lifetime style movies that offer drama with a side of realism.
At Cornell, summer is not a time to relax; it is a measure of how successful your internship search was during the previous academic year. Having an internship, research lined up or a passion project you are pursuing is the rule, not the exception. With that boulder weighing down on you, the concept of doing nothing –– or, in all actuality, enjoying your summer — feels horrifying. In an environment that pushes us to our limits, a self-deprecating term has become ingrained in the lingo of many Cornellians: “chud.”
We are living under a fascist government. This is a statement that once accepted, bears immediate moral responsibilities.
Poor engineering kills people. The Champlain Towers collapse caused 94 deaths; two Boeing 737 MAX crashes caused 346 deaths; the OceanGate Titan implosion caused five deaths. All of these are examples of catastrophic engineering errors that took lives. More significantly, these have all happened within the last decade and were the result of technical issues that were noticed but negligently went unresolved. In the case of the Boeing 737 MAX, low level engineers and training pilots both told senior staff about the issues that led to the crash years before they occurred. No action was taken to correct the issues due to corporate pressure and the company actively concealed safety concerns from regulators. A combination of calculation errors and ethical failures needlessly cut short the lives of over 300 people. Since the conception of the steam engine over 300 years ago, there is no doubt that engineering and safety regulations have greatly improved. Nevertheless, there is still always a risk that the buildings, bridges and vehicles you use everyday may actually be a ticking time bomb.
Both Susan Ainslie and Kathleen Yen, who ran unopposed for the Village of Lansing Board of Trustees, won reelection on Tuesday night. Ainslie received 52 votes and Yen received 57 votes, according to unofficial results posted by the Tompkins County Board of Elections Tuesday night.
Why does a resident of Mary Donlon Hall pay the same amount for housing as a resident of a dorm like Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hall? One resident lives in a dorm built in 1961 with no overhead lighting or air conditioning, while the other revels in a room with both. One has suspicious stains in their carpeting, while the other has vinyl flooring. One has, to put it bluntly, a crappy dorm, while the other lives in luxury. Yet, they still pay the same price — how could this be fair?
Rain and 40-degree temperatures did not make it feel like a late April lacrosse game, but the stakes felt appropriate with No. 6 Cornell (10-3, 5-1 Ivy) taking on No. 10 Harvard (9-3, 3-3 Ivy) with heavy Ivy League and NCAA playoff implications.
As we find ourselves at the end of yet another long semester at Cornell, we also test the promises we upheld to ourselves at the beginning of the year. For example, did you promise to overcome procrastination and lock in this semester? Did you tell yourself, it’s 2026, the year you will finally achieve all our ambitious resolutions?
The Khia Asylum can fight me because I thought Meghan Trainor's new album was an absolute smash hit. As I was informed by a friend when I mentioned her album, Trainor is part of a new phenomenon referred to as the "Khia Asylum" which refers to artists who have not achieved stardom or who flopped after a short era of success. However, if we count the sheer number of times I have streamed Toy With Me since its release on April 24, we'd probably find that I could single-handedly support Trainor's career. So, what makes this album so exceptional? What makes Toy with Me worth a listen?
The Eurovision song contest is, perhaps, the only equivalent of the Olympics in the music world. Mostly familiar to the U.S. audiences thanks to Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, it is exactly as gimmicky and offbeat as one understands it to be from the movie. Pyrotechnics explode, mechanical bulls get wheeled out onstage, masked metal artists get crowned the monarchs of European entertainment. But there is a method to the madness — a throughline stretching across years.
