…At a certain point in 2019, internet users in both the drama-filled DeuxMoi and the aspirational New York City- esque digital spheres were once again pulled towards Caroline Calloway. She has lived through multiple digital selves and has survived multiple news cycles of hatred and ridicule over the past decade. The Cambridge blogger- turned-scammer is now best known for her confessional, often chaotic Instagram presence — but ...…
…The conversation surround- ing the future of Artificial Intelligence weighs heavily on the possibility of artificial life becoming a sentient threat to the human race. Steven Spiel- berg’s (“The Fabelmans”) “A.I.

Me and my homegirls tried to season the function, but not even we can shake ass to pop girly remixes under oontz oontz beats. We have to get this white man off aux.

…W ithout a doubt, I’m an optimist. From arguing in favor of the Bursley-Baits bus to arguing for an explicit expansion of our vocabulary, I try my best to see the light in every situation. But the silver lining is often elusive, and sometimes involves extensive searching. This search, in and of itself, is an art. Unlike most arts, though, optimism has a unique faculty and disposition toward improving all that it touches. While...…
…A nn Arbor’s tallest building is the aptly named Tower Plaza Condominium. Standing at around 300 feet tall, the building was controversial from its first proposal. City Council moved rapidly to enact an 18-story height limit, but Tower Plaza came in right under the wire before that ordinance change was passed. The first time Ann Arbor opposed a tower for being “too tall” was in 1929. The original proposal for the beaut...…
…In loss to LSU, Michigan shows that it’s a program in progress JACK CONLIN Daily Sports Writer BATON ROUGE, La. — At first glance, there’s not much to take away from a brutal loss like the one that the No. 6 seed Michigan women’s basketball team suffered on Sunday.

…Ann Arbor is a small, Mid- western metropolis, home to many families, faculty and students stretching from near and far. It is a city comprised of almost all loyal Wolverines dedicated to the act of rambunctious tailgating for foot- ball games, avidly shopping for fresh sourdough bread and vibrant produce at the Kerrytown farm- er’s market while inhaling a #48 Binny’s Brooklyn Reuben from Zingerman’s. Its citizens often participate ...…
