The exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art is the first museum retrospective of Noah Davis’ work, and the only North American stop. The paintings are arranged in an open, expansive space, so both the artwork and the viewers are able to breathe in the legacy and grief that weighs heavily in the art. Davis’ works, while steeped in unspent tears, do not wallow in pity but instead contemplate the underbelly of America’s past, and the collective suffering of the human experience through the backdrop of loss. The paintings work as stages of healing and belay the conviction that progress will be made. The exhibition reveals Davis’ enduring commitment to translating the felt world and textures of life into a language only paint can speak.

We have devolved into Franz Kafka’s worst nightmare and M.C. Escher’s Relativity’s reality. Simply, we are cogs in a larger institutional machine, pawns in a flimsy man–made game whose brochure has long been lost. We are taught to value conformity and are manipulated into believing that life’s goal is material, monetary, and superficial.

Somewhere between a missed train in Switzerland and a CGI trophy, Jet Lag: The Game figured out how to make modern media feel personal again. What looks like a group of friends yelling in airports is, in reality, a carefully engineered hybrid—part game show, part hangout, part branding experiment—that understands its audience far better than most prestige television ever has. To dismiss it as novelty content is to miss what makes it one of the most interesting experiments in modern media. Jet Lag isn’t just a travel competition or a reality show—it’s a carefully constructed hybrid that sits between traditional television and creator–driven content.

Nearly three years ago, my childhood best friend Belle was struck and killed by a school bus. As their 20th birthday approaches, I’ve written a letter—reflecting on them, our relationship, their mortality, and my own.

When I committed to Penn, I saw an opportunity to finally experiment with my style. No longer was I restrained by the identity I made for myself in high school. College was a clean slate, and I was ready to revolutionize my wardrobe and see my personal fashion sense develop. So naturally, I reached for my phone to see what was trending. Imagination often sprouts out of roots in imitation, and I needed a foundation to build off of.

Ramadan is on the horizon, just a week away. For two billion Muslims worldwide, including the several hundred thousand who call Philadelphia home, Ramadan represents several things: reflection, community, and faith, to name a few. Most notably, however, this month is all about food, or rather, the lack thereof. While much attention is given to the long hours of fasting, underdiscussed is the relief provided by the warm, delicious iftar meals at sundown.

I arrived at the early screening of Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights ten whole minutes before it began, yet nearly every seat was already taken. With only the front row available, I had to crane my neck to see the screen. Despite this less than ideal viewing circumstance, the long–awaited film swept me away into a world of love, yearning, and, of course, desire. Despite oftentimes straying from the source material, the emotion infused in every moment of the film made it well worth the neck pain. And the reactions of the crowd, filled with readers and movie buffs alike, seemed to agree with me. Wuthering Heights is an exceptional reimagination of the classic tragedy, using raw emotion and a distinctive aesthetic style to enthral all audience members alike, regardless of whether they’ve read the book.

I don’t quite remember when it was, but one day, while I was doomscrolling on Instagram, my ears were blessed by a very lyrically complex, melodic sound that definitely cannot be described as “ostrich squeal rap.” As the line, “Shout out Martin Luther K–i–i–i–ing” emanated from the speakers of my phone, I knew I had struck gold with rapper Yuno Miles.

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise: Amassing a total of 73 million followers across the internet, Mark Fischbach, alias Markiplier, released his first feature film, Iron Lung, in 4,000 theaters nationwide on Jan. 30. Written, directed, and acted in by Fischbach, it is already, in no uncertain terms, a massive financial success. With a budget of only $3 million, its opening weekend saw a domestic gross of $17.8 million and an additional $3 million in international profits.

The box office for horror in 2026 is already off to a strong start. With titles like 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come, Scream 7, and The Strangers: Chapter 3 all either out or releasing later this quarter, horror continues to be a reliable genre for theatres to fill seats.

A well–written pop song can become inescapable once it leaves its mark across platforms, saturating TikTok feeds, dominating streaming charts, and echoing from car radios. Some of the most persistent earworms of the modern era have come not from traditional pop stars, but from beloved fictional characters. And yet, even when a trio of superhero K–pop idols can conquer the internet, the charts, and the cultural conversation, the biggest award stages remain far harder to claim.

In the eight years since her literary debut, R. F. Kuang has become one of the most talked–about authors in contemporary fiction. The Chinese American author burst onto the scene with her Ancient China–inspired fantasy trilogy, The Poppy War, and has since published three standalone novels: Babel, Yellowface, and, most recently, Katabasis. For such a young author in an oversaturated industry, Kuang stands out as a rising talent. She has been nominated for or won nearly 40 awards and honors, and her six novels average just above four stars on Goodreads across over 2.5 million views.

If there was any doubt before, it is certainly clear now—the department store, or at least its traditional format, might just be a slowly dying art. Are the days of walking through the revolving doors into bustling department stores, dedicating entire afternoons to riding up–and–down escalators, combing through floors and floors of clothing, shoes, bags, cosmetics, and perfume, now just a figment of the past?

The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia is known for its Victorian–cabinet style spectacle of medical anomalies and preserved organs. Strolling through, visitors can see the Mütter American Giant—the tallest human skeleton on display in North America—or examine drawers from the Chevalier Jackson collection filled with objects removed from patients’ airways or digestive tracks. Other cases hold malignant tumors and pathological specimens, ranging from slices of Albert Einstein’s brain to Grover Cleveland’s tumor. One of the museum’s most well–known exhibits is the plaster death casts and conjoined liver of Chage and Eng Bunker, the original Siamese twins.

The term “prestige television” used to mean big ambition and slow rhythm, as if each episode was a movie. The Sopranos, Mad Men, Breaking Bad—these were dramas about institutions, morality, and power, all told through the highest cinematic craft. Having cable access to such art felt too good to be true.

On a freezing January snow day, former Daily Pennsylvanian staffer Max Annunziata (C ’26) spent his day skiing in Clark Park with his friends, ending the day with a snowball fight. For Max, moments like these have become a defining part of his time at Penn. Max is the first to admit that Penn is intense, describing his first few months here as a constant “what the fuck” feeling. By quite literally taking a breath of fresh air, he found a strong sense of community in the Penn Outdoors Club and on Penn Ski—where he has hiked out to Wissahickon with his friends, traversed Blue Mountain, and biked around Philly just to clear his head. But stepping away from Penn is only part of his experience. When Max arrived on campus, he was also eager to have a stake in campus policies. Since campaigning for student government and putting his face on a poster was not exactly his thing, Max ended up joining the Student Committee on Undergraduate Education (SCUE) his freshman fall. Ever since, he has worked behind the scenes to advocate for the Penn student body, such as helping improve equity for club application processes and increasing transparency in participation grading.
