…“Nearly everything I know about love, I’ve learned from my long- term friendships with women.” This quote may sound familiar to you because of a recent TikTok trend circling around the app. Picture and video compilations of people being themselves with their friends have crowded my For You page, and I must confess that I have a carefully-crafted TikTok of the same nature sitting in my drafts. The quote, however, was not originally ...…
…“Nice guys finish last.” The phrase, coined in 1946 by Dodgers manager Leo Durocher to slam the New York Giants, has become the motto of millions of manipulative, pseudo-feminist “incels” all over the world, and I, for one, am ready to talk about it. If you haven’t been online in the last few years, or haven’t had the pleasure of speaking to one in person, let me fill you in on exactly who I’m talking about. “Incels” (short for “in...…
…At the beginning of Erica Tremblay’s (“Little Chief”) “Fancy Dance,” Jax (Lily Glad- stone, “Certain Women”) and her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson, “Three Pines”) steal a car. It is the calmest auto theft I have ever seen. Roki takes the keys while their owner fishes and Jax dis- tracts him by washing her shoul- ders across the river. The water sparkles. The sun is bright and lazy. But with this sunny, low-effort theft, Tremblay b...…
…Michigan in Color 6 — Wednesday, February 1, 2023 The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com How to make a omelette When I walk along the newly renovated State Street in Ann Arbor, I feel contradictory emotions.

…S T A T E M E N T Several years ago in an Advanced Placement Language and Composition class, I read “Language in Thought and Action” by S.I. Hayakawa. Most of the book’s contents have admittedly slipped my mind, but one topic that has stuck with me is the difference between denotation and connotation. While a dictionary may denote the meaning of a word, our own connotations can lead to miscommunication. I think about this the...…

…I was raised to be a firm believer in passion-fueled education and bold aspirations. Coming from a family full of dreamers, I was never told who I could or could not be. My passions have certainly evolved as the years have gone by, but I have been tied to passion- driven endeavors for as long as I can remember. My young mind was convinced that, no matter the field of study, I would pursue a college education rooted in my passions...…
…F rom its inception in 1917, the debt ceiling has been a major point of contention for lawmakers. Since then, the figure has been raised 78 times since 1960, each occasion serving as a flashpoint for debates over government spending.

Because in front of them, Hughes had just added to one of the greatest performances in college hockey history. Hughes’ four-...…

…For 3,653 days — long, arduous, hollow days — the Michigan football program lived in the shadows of its unremitting failures against Ohio State. There won’t be a 3,654th day. At long last, that futile streak is over. After eight consecutive bitter losses to the Buckeyes, the Wolverines emerged from The Game victorious.

…Since the start of my childhood, Nov. 1 meant the hanging of a quilt from the stove in my kitchen. It was my mom’s “Thankful Quilt,” decorated with felt leaves, turkeys and other Thanks- giving-esque patches.

And every night, before eating dinner, my mom would have my sister and I write down what we were thankful for ...…

…Come late November, the Michigan fanbase is used to singing the same melancholy song: There’s always next year. But, as the Wolverines have espoused since the first day of the season, this year — and this team — is different. On Saturday, when Michigan led Ohio State at the half, fans started to believe that it could be true. The 14-13 score was hardly an indication of the dominance to come, but rather a hint that this time, ma...…
…Sitting behind the podium after the Michigan football team’s win over No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday, Jim Harbaugh took a moment to look around.
