Chinatown Diptych: The Origins of a Writer

Growing up, writing was my haven. My friends teased me for carrying a marble notebook wherever I went, pages brimming with mediocre poems my 12-year-old mind thought Shakespearean. Words, I discovered, have the power to forge rivers, oceans, mountains. They immortalize the rise and fall of civilizations, etch our names in rock and dust.

The danger of Joe Rogan’s mammoth footprint

When forums for entertainment become outlets of information — the kind of information necessary for political discourse and democratic society — original intent ceases to be relevant, or at least cedes being priority number one.

USG Movie Review: BlacKkKlansman (2018)

Thanks to Spike Lee’s masterful directing, a bold screenplay, and an all-star cast, “BlacKkKlansman” combines absurdity, dark humor, and horror into a nuanced commentary on social issues through the true story of a Black police officer leading an undercover mission to infiltrate the country’s most notorious white supremacist organization.

The restraint of ‘will you shut up, man?’

Biden’s performance, and the debate as a whole, offers a valuable lesson. The debate demonstrates not only why discourse cannot survive without restraint, but also why restraint can be a powerful tool to display moral character. As students forming Princeton University’s discourse, and as young adults shaping our own personal characters, we cannot minimize this lesson in restraint. Without it, the future we create is more likely to repeat the mistakes of the present.

AASA celebrates Mid-Autumn Festival virtually

“One advantage of celebrating virtually was the breakout room format, which enabled us to more directly connect with first-years and other students in ways that would have been more difficult in a larger group on campus” Slater explained.

DISPATCH | Getting used to the noise

It sounds strange when I explain it. Why Boston? Why these girls, who I barely knew before we signed the lease? I still have trouble picturing the series of events that led me here; the days after Princeton announced that fall semester would be online are a blur.

The anti-woke show: a response to Matthew Wilson ’24

When Wilson alleges that Princeton “bends over” backwards for the sake of anti-racist activists and leftist revisionists, he is fictionalizing a widely covered event for which he cares to neither learn of nor represent fairly. 

This still isn’t normal

Nevertheless, the expectations of a Princeton semester remain, intensified by the new shortened calendar. 

Secrecy and shame in the age of COVID-19

We have suffered hundreds of thousands of deaths at the hands of this virus, and the way to respond to this suffering is not through irrational fear of those who may have been exposed, but rather compassion and understanding of their vulnerability.
