…The Ann Arbor District Li- brary is a magical place. In fact, any local library, book- store or streetside lending library is likely to have the best, most authentic book recommendations. The Dai- ly’s Book Review writers certainly think so — so, in the same spirit of small city book recommendations, we offer our small list of books by Black writers that might have slipped past the New York Times Best Sellers list. Some of these bo...…

…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. No. 5 Michigan (11-1 overall, 8-1 Big Ten) shocked No. 2 Ohio State (10- 2, 8-1), 42-27, clinching the Big Ten East...…

…When a couple knocked on Rack- ham student Jeffrey Lockhart’s door on Nov. 4 asking if he was planning on renewing his apartment lease, Lockhart knew something wasn’t right. As a tenant of Oxford Companies, a popular Ann Arbor real estate com- pany, Lockhart said he was surprised to find prospective tenants outside his home asking about his plans to renew so that they can potentially take over his lease next year. Lock- hart said he ...…

…“Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to yet another round of Bones or No Bones: the game where we find out if my 13-year-old pug woke up with bones, and, as a result, we’ll find out what kind of day we’re going to have.” This is how Jonathan Graziano opens almost every one of his Tik- Tok videos featuring his adorable pug, Noodle. For over a year now, Graziano has made jokes about Noodle having “no bones,” flopping back down o...…

…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts 6 — Wednesday, December 1, 2021 I can’t in good faith say that I’m a Swiftie. I’m a Swiftie in the sense that we all are Swifties — because you can’t avoid her. Her music has defined a generation, whether you like it or not. Even if I don’t buy tickets to Taylor’s shows, it’s still a Swift-dominated world, and I still reap the benefits of breakup songs. Everybody loves her femcel anthem, and ...…

…I love a good, classic loading screen. I don’t mean those obnoxiously slow progres- sion bars or the tracker timelines on food delivery apps that halt on each stage for 15 minutes. My favorites are the small, simple graphics that repeat in perpetuity with no discernible end to their progression. The repetitive, continuous motion is oddly calm- ing. I love the little revolving lights that circle around and around, lavishing away the tim...…

…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. More importantly, the quilt was lined with little pockets numbered one through 30 — a pocket for each day of the month. 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. Usually, his press conferences strike the same somber, frustrated, dejected chords after games against the Buckeyes. But when Harbaugh’s well- documented 0-5 record against his arch rival changed during Saturday’s 42-27 victory, so did No. 5 Michigan’s season outlook. And Harbaugh’s ton...…

…4 From my mother’s garden With streaks of verdant green and dots of blooming flora, few places hold the same sanctity and beauty as a garden. Gifted a natural green thumb, my mother introduced me to the art of gardening — she spent years of her young life managing a local greenhouse in a small Michigan town, and her natural inclination to grow and create never quite dissipated. Her floods of floral beauty are something for the wor...…

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...…

…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...…

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.
