…“Do you think it will be war?” young bride-to-be Gûle (Kajeen Aloush, debut) asks her older sister. A pause. “It already is war,” her sister replies. So begins “Berbû,” Sevinaz Evdike’s dazzling directorial debut, which had its American premiere this Thursday at the Ann Arbor Film Festival. “Berbù,” which clocks in at just 70 minutes, is a deeply personal portrait of the ongoing Syrian civil war. The film is set in Serekaniye, a...…

…Taylor Swift has been widely hailed as one of the greatest songwriters of her generation. Not only are her songs catchy and meaningful, but they almost always tell an incredible, lively story. In particular, the songs that describe beautiful relationships and heart-wrenching breakups reach a level of storytelling that few other art- ists can aspire to. And because these songs tell such descriptive stories, it’s only natural that fans...…

Discovering techniques that complement different facial structures, emphasizing your favorite features and enhancing personal style all draw me to the beauty world, whether in everyday makeup or more creative, bold looks.

…S T A T E M E N T michigandaily.com — The Michigan Daily Wednesday, April 5, 2023 — 7 Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of smiling at my phone. My affair with the game started about six days before this past Christmas when I got a text from my uncle telling me that it was time to continue our annual tradition of me telling him what I wanted for Christmas — and that invariably being the newest version of FIFA. But this year, for the f...…

…Sonder is a term that describes the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own; in essence, the word strikes a sense of not only sorrow due to meaning itself, but also comfort, an echo that radiates between the two syllables and connects the six letters into a hopeful hopelessness. When I first learned about the word, I was listening to my playlist as a new song by Brent Faiyaz ...…

…Before I knew of virtue, I knew of vice. It’s not a stretch to say I grew up hand in hand with the knowledge of sin, from the fairly innocuous to the fairly extreme: to hurt someone is a sin, to blaspheme is a sin, alco- hol, greed, sacrilege — the list goes on and on. But with the knowledge of sin came also an understanding of hierarchy, with some sins taught as per- missible and others damning. All are sins against god, but some ...…

…The penis, perhaps, in its most potent, primal state, might be one of the biggest (or maybe not so big …) mysteries unknown to man. At the sacral site of this sexual organ is an enormous world of imagina- tion, pro-creation and pleasure.

…A ccording to the CDC, permanent hearing loss begins at decibel levels of 70. On March 11, 2023, when Yu Chang — an infielder playing for Chinese Taipei — hit a go-ahead grand slam, a decibel reader inside Taichung Intercontinental Stadium registered 118. En route to a 9-5 upset over the Netherlands, Yu Chang blasted the eardrums of 20,000 local fans and etched himself into Taiwanese baseball history. As he rounded second base (...…

…I still remember one of my first Uber experiences during high school. Hiding my disbelief that technology had allowed me inside a total stranger’s car, I stared at downtown Los Angeles rushing past. My feet thumped along to the optimistic lyrics of “Party in the U.S.A.” by Miley Cyrus, my designated driver’s song of choice. Noticing my familiarity with his playlist, the driver opened his mouth to say, “Man, I really miss ...…

…B efore I begin this piece, I want to add a disclaimer: I identify as Jewish. Given the title of this piece and my own positions, I think it’s relevant.

This February, the University of Michigan’s Central Student Government met to discuss a public statement about Palestinian ri...…

…S omething was off from the start. Before the No. 3 Michigan women’s gymnastics team could even get going, senior Gabby Wilson fell on the second routine of the team’s first rotation.

Although Michigan (26-2 overall) led for the first two rou...…
