President Joe Biden’s ghost handshake went viral a couple weeks ago, but since then, videos of the event taken at different angles have been released, showing he was in fact addressing people who were off-screen in the original video. The fact-checked video seemingly dispels rumors of Biden's confusion, but that does not mean his actions shouldn't be more seriously considered.
Before the viral video was fact-checked, I myself fell victim to believing Biden was definitely off his rocker, and it got me thinking we should have an age limit for politicians.
The search for “authentic” ethnic food is problematic and performative. First of all, the term “ethnic” itself is a problem. The use of ethnic to describe food from nonwhite cultures is not really accurate definition-wise but too accurate in its reflection of how a lot of white people think of people of color.

Sex positivity is reaching new peaks on the internet. People everywhere of all gender identities and sexualities are joining sites like JustFor.Fans or OnlyFans to post pornographic content of themselves.
The number of content creators on OnlyFans more than tripled from May 2020 to September of last year, and while the ratio of pornographic to nonpornographic content hasn’t been made available, the website is nearly synonymous with sex work now.
But has sex positivity enabled the growth of hookup culture? Can too much sex positivity place us in unsafe environments with strangers whom we know next to nothing about?
In the 232-year history of the United States Supreme Court, only one Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached.
Despite this historical hesitancy of the American government to impeach justices, it’s becoming excruciatingly clear that Congress should act to hold Justice Clarence Thomas accountable for his recent actions.

Young adults have sex before marriage. Believe it or not, it is a common occurrence, especially when leaving home for the first time and being on one's own — it is a time not only to learn about a specific field of interest in a university setting but also to learn about and explore the field of sexuality.
This leads to the question of why abstinence-only sex education is still a thing. Telling a teenager not to have sex is like telling a grizzly bear to not defecate in the woods.

In case you live under a rock and have no idea what is happening on campus, the department of journalism and media communication at Colorado State University threw one of the greatest parties to have graced the Andrew G. Clark Building in its tenured history: Clarkchella.
CSU is so old that "Colorado State University" is our third name. Back when we were founded in 1870, we were Colorado Agricultural College. This campus has seen every type of party in its 150-plus years of operation, but all pale in comparison to Clarkchella.

There's a lot of buzz around Colorado sports as of late. The Denver Broncos acquired superstar quarterback Russell Wilson about a month ago, the Colorado Rockies signed World Series winner Kris Bryant shortly after and the Denver Nuggets appear poised for another deep playoff run. Seemingly lost in the hype, though, are the dominant performances from Colorado's hockey teams this year.
Colorado is home to two professional hockey teams: The Colorado Avalanche in the National Hockey League, and the Colorado Eagles in the American Hockey League. The Eagles are the minor-league affiliates of the Avalanche, and both teams are gearing up for playoff runs this year.
On April 8, Colorado State University students got an email from Housing & Dining Services notifying us of how much damage we’ve done to residential facilities: $60,000 worth. With around 150 reported incidents of this damage, that’s $400 per incident.
$60,000 is more than out-of-state tuition and board. $60,000 is more than the average American salary. $60,000 is ridiculous, and we’re not even done with this school year. Apparently, we have some pretty pathetic self-control when it comes to not breaking stuff.

It’s almost the end of the semester for Colorado State University students. Plans for summer are underway, and the trees are starting to get green again, which also means finals are looming eerily in the distance.
This point in the semester is rough for many students. Each Friday comes with a defeated sigh and a determined attitude that next week will be better.

Dear readers,
Thank you for picking up our last...
Fort Collins is home to more than 20 craft breweries, and with so many places to try beer, we wanted to pick a few of our favorites to recommend. We hope you're enjoying this special edition and you're...
There’s a lot of variety when it comes to beer, especially in Fort Collins, where we have over 20 breweries. Depending on your personal preferences, taste, alcohol by volume, malt and other factors lift some beers above others, but the most important thing to consider when picking a drink is, of course, the packaging.
I’ve examined the options at 20 Fort Collins breweries to find the best beer packaging in the area. I’m a perfectly unbiased judge of packaging because I have never had a beer in my life and don’t ever intend to. My opinions are unfettered by any knowledge about beer.
