Seriously: Humor is in the eye of joke-teller

Seriously: Humor is in the eye of joke-teller

Leah Stephenson, Collegian Columnist November 11, 2024
Stand-up comedians have it all wrong. Telling a story or having a good punchline isn’t what makes someone funny. Even when people aren’t comedians, they like to be funny because it helps make friends. I often find that in social scenarios, the people who fare the best are the funny ones. However, most don’t go about humor in the right way.

Waskey: 3rd-party voting is possible but not successful

Chloe Waskey, Collegian Columnist November 10, 2024
In a time where basic political engagement can mean voting against your own ideologies, it is understandably tempting to vote third party. Why vote for the lesser of two evils when there is an option that doesn’t seem evil at all? I am admittedly sympathetic to those that vote third party. If I believe that complacence equals violence, how can I vote for a candidate that is complacent in the face of a genocide? As a more left leaning democrat, I have had issues with the Biden administration and I have issues with Kamala Harris’s policies. It feels like I am contradicting my own ideologies by voting for Harris.
