Your World Today Commentary: My Final Performance, 8 Years in the Making

This past weekend I completed my eighth and final year of marching band. We performed in the Hershey Park Stadium on a lovely, unusually warm, November afternoon. This final performance was a long time coming and leading up to it, my fellow band members would come up to me and ask, “aren’t you sad?” This has been happening all season, where suddenly we would remember that this was our final chance to perform in a marching band, and we would all think about how sad it would be for it to be over, but I’m not sad.

Your World Today Commentary: Climbing Ladders

Like everyone else, I regularly binge watch Netflix. One of my favorite shows I used to watch before it was removed from Netflix was “The Office.” I rewatched that series more times that I can count. It was comforting to turn it on and have something familiar and funny to settle the background noise in my head. This show wasn’t deep, and it wasn’t for philosophers. However, there is a quote from one of the episodes that I think of often.

Review: ‘Don’t Worry Darling’

“Don’t Worry Darling” is a film about Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack Chambers (Harry Styles), a picture-perfect vision of “young love”, who live happily in an eerily utopian neighborhood with their ‘50s style home, cars and wardrobes to match. Every day, the wives stand in the cul-de-sac and kiss their husbands goodbye as they simultaneously drive off to work at the mysterious “Victory Project ‘’ for their cult-like leader Frank (Chris Pine). The only explanation given to the wives is that the men work on “the development of progressive materials.” The husbands are forbidden from giving any details about their top-secret work. After the men drive off in their fancy cars into the desert, their wives turn back and clean every inch of their already pristine homes, go shopping with bottomless checking accounts, swim at the country club pool, take dance classes, listen to Frank’s hypnotic propaganda about the Victory Project, cook a five-course meal and meet their husbands at the door with a cocktail. In this picture-perfect world, the only rule the women are given is to never leave.
