Conformity Gate: When theory-making goes too far
Art by Ondine Mitchell **SPOILERS FOR THE FINALE OF STRANGER THINGS** Ever wonder why so many Stranger Things fans basically became conspiracy theorists after the season one finale? Well, since the uproar for the series’ end has pretty much died out by now (much to Netflix’s dismay, after a lot of promotion), the epidemic of people analyzing cryptic clues hidden in episode "The Rightside Up” has been somewhat forgotten. However, instead of focusing on the lackluster finale a

The best places to eat afterschool!
Art by Afreen Majumdar Any student at ERHS knows right after school, kids rush over to various afterschool spots to get food as soon as the bell rings. But which one is the best? I ranked ten of the most popular spots, so you know where to go next time you're out! Every place I ranked with the same criteria, which included: average price, taste, seating, wait time, how busy it is, and distance from our school. Since this criteria wasn’t based solely on taste the rankings migh

Highland Park Theatre: a cogitation and speculation
All photos by Eva Jones As many may know, the hundred-year-old Highland Park Theatre shut down in March. This news all felt very sudden to me. One minute I'm sitting in a dark theatre watching Timothee Chalamet practice reduplication with the word “chocolate,” and the next I'm walking by, dust on tomorrow, only to find a lonely security guard sitting behind a rusted accordion gate. Admittedly, there are ways I'd have preferred to say goodbye other than with Wonka —painting a

Dr. Miriam Bradley, a senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, explained that there never was a single cause of the crisis, stating “the 1983 to 1985 famine […] was the occasion for an outpouring of western charity spurred by Bob Geldof’s Band Aid.

Art by Jarisse As award season rolls around once again, it's easy to become overwhelmed with the sheer volume of films being discussed.
