…2B — Thursday, February 21, 2019 b-side The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Clad in a denim-on-denim ensemble, a girl walks down the bustling streets of Ann Arbor. She’s wearing earphones and the clash of drums in Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” seems to eradicate the chaos that surrounds her. Her getup is anything but form-fitting. The oversized jean jacket and the Adidas sneakers create a unisex style while her accent brai...…
…According to their website, Mcity is collaborating with the University’s Transportation Insti- tute to launch an on-demand, autonomous transportation sys- tem in Ann Arbor by 2021. Morton said Mcity’s next step would be working on individual, completely self-sufficient cars, an achievement she does not expect to see during her career due to the various hurdles in autonomous vehicle research. Citing a report by the Rand Corporation, M...…

…NETFLIX By the mid-1960s, shooting your film in black and white was already becoming a stylistic choice. Fighting against the pull of the monochromatic little television boxes that were more and more frequently gluing families to their living room sofas on Saturday nights, the industry made dazzling, colorful wide- screen cinema the de-facto standard. Stalwarts of that era, Mike Nichol’s “The Graduate,” Arthur Penn...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Sports Thursday, February 21, 2019 — 5A The keys to Wolverines’ win streak It’s hard to believe that, just four short weeks ago, the Michigan women’s basketball team suffered a loss to Michigan State that put its tournament hopes on life support. Just two weeks later, freshman point guard Amy Dilk went down with an ankle injury, and the Wolverines’ slim odds became even slimmer on paper. But, ...…
…On the day George G. Gannon got married, he didn’t wear a wedding ring. Instead, he simply turned his University class of 1952 ring around on his finger; silver band on the outside, ostentatious blue sapphire facing the palm. Real classy, grandpa. But then again, as a newly minted Wolverine myself, such an incident is rather unsurprising. School spirit has always been the University of Michigan’s most prized commodity. Or, at least...…

Rooted in the past, this feeling of longing can often bombard us when we’re watching old shows (“Kim Possible,” anyone?), flipping through old photos or even just taking a bite of a chicken nugget. In 2016, Scientific American reported on the positive effects of reminiscence, stating that nostalgia “boosted self-continuity by increasing a sense of social connectedness.” In othe...…
