Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, the Trump administration and Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, have been on a crusade to find “waste” within the government.
“Severance” is currently airing its second season on Apple TV+. So far, the first seven episodes have met the high expectations set by the show’s first season, which aired in 2022. The show is a science fiction thriller which, as the name suggests, involves severing oneself into two different consciousnesses colloquially referred to as ‘innies’ and ‘outies.’ The ‘innie’ version of an individual exists solely at work, conscious only after they clock in and until they clock out. The ‘outie’ is the version of the individual which lives every other aspect of their life. Crucially, memories are not shared between the two. Innies are created with somewhat of a blank slate as they retain rudimentary knowledge of the world, but need to be informed of their first name and first initial of their last name to acquire any aspect of a personal identity. Essentially all an innie knows is their work at Lumon Industries, the company that invented the severance procedure.
Since President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, his administration has introduced a slew of changes to immigration policies, many of which have instilled fear and led to questions surrounding immigrant rights.
Hosted by Conan O’Brien, this year’s Academy Awards was a spectacle that paid tribute to icons of filmmaking, especially in a location as influential as Los Angeles. During its first moments, the broadcast honored the city showing prominent film clips of the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood Hills among other landmarks. To start off the night, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande performed beautiful songs from “The Wizard of Oz”, “The Wiz” and “Wicked” showing there’s no place like home. Undoubtedly, the evening was about honoring what goes beyond the screen and the global impact of authentic storytelling.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is often portrayed in stark, binary terms. Yet, within this landscape of division, individuals like Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger and Khaled Abu Awwad offer a testament to the power of human connection and the potential for transformative change, both individually and systematically. Their work, through the organization they co-founded, Roots—Judur—Shorashim, seeks to bring together West Bank Palestinians and Israeli settlers, sparking a quiet revolution of connection and offering a glimmer of optimism in a remarkably bleak landscape. The two activists came to Brandeis on Feb. 26 to share their individual journeys and the creation of Roots.

On a quiet side street 10 minutes from Cambridge’s bustling Central Square, a vivid blue humpback whale and its soon-to-be dinner of solemn-faced krill is painted against a backdrop of dizzying purple Fibonacci spirals. The mural, “Cetacean Spiral,” is the brainchild of East Medford-based muralist Sophy Tuttle, whose work primarily centers around themes of human-nature relationships.

The fog, the slog, the mess of it all. I left it behind. With increasing frequency, I curse my naïve decision to move back East. You see, I grasped idle, quiet, undisturbed perfection for a little over a decade without knowing it. I curse my own ignorance. How could I have looked onto that endless horizon and not recognized its beauty? How did I breathe the aridity of that fine desert air and dream of breathing in clouds of self-importance? I walked into the wilderness this break and felt my own vanity vanish into the Western air. This is Peace.
This semester, I am taking two classes via Zoom. When I enrolled, I wasn’t aware they were virtual. Had I known, I never would have considered them.
Socialize Trump and Musk’s assets
As visitors step off Boston’s breezy streets and through the shadowed entryway of the WNDR Museum (pronounced ‘Wonder’), their attention is immediately drawn to the softly illuminated flowers winding around the space’s jet-black walls that cast warm light onto them below. The flowers, drawn by children of museum employees using technology to upscale and project, are part of an installation titled “WNDR Flowers,” according to the general manager, Giancarlo Natale. In the hallway beyond, mirrors stretch from floor to ceiling, doubling the luminous effect and drawing visitors deeper into the museum’s curated dreamscape. It’s a playful introduction to what awaits, a space that not only displays art but indirectly showcases ongoing debates around the meaning of creation in an age of machine learning and digital tools.
The rigor of campus life often keeps students restricted within the tight confines of the Brandeis bubble; our classes, club meetings and constant studying do little to encourage us to pursue freedom outside of our academic commitments. But beyond the lecture halls, a whole world of experiences is waiting just outside the University’s borders. Whether you’re looking for a student-friendly movie theater, great restaurants, a comic book store or even an ice rink, Waltham and its surrounding areas have plenty to offer. Exploring off campus isn’t just a break from academics — it’s an opportunity for students to connect with the local community, discover new favorite spots and create college memories beyond the classroom. To help you get started, this editorial board has compiled a guide to our favorite places to go, showcasing the best that Waltham has to offer.
