Bob Dylan is an enigma. Despite being a towering force of American culture, he has always defied easy interpretation, too slippery to fit into categories or expectations. So, do we really need a Bob Dylan musical biopic? The genre is synonymous with clichés and unoriginality — notoriously squeezing complex lives into generic, done-to-death narratives.
After watching the first season of XO, Kitty on Netflix I can confirm — my high school career was decidedly boring. I did not, in fact, get a scholarship to study abroad in Korea. I did not chase an online boyfriend halfway around the world as a sweeping romantic gesture. And I did not discover that said boyfriend already had a girlfriend, yet still decide to room with him and his two friends.
On Tuesday, Jan. 28 the Student Government Association (SGA) convened for its weekly meeting.

The University agreed to pay $18.5 million in a lawsuit to resolve claims that it favored wealthy applicants and limited financial aid on Jan.17.
We are back in Baltimore and the real feel has been closer to ten degrees than I would like. How utterly tragic. On my first day of classes, I donned two layers of pants and three layers of tops and treated my walk to Gilman like a treacherous journey (it was, in fact, treacherous). I spent the rest of the day in bed, under every single blanket I own, with my heater blasting.
I probably have around 10 tabs open on my laptop at all times. As I write this, I have a record low of eight: today’s Wordle (3/6 — great starting word), a 30-page reading for class, a video essay on Kafkaesque, LinkedIn, a guide on simple living, Outlook, an assignment that was due last week and an article on high protein vegetarian recipes that I will never look at again. Each tab feels like a microcosm of the chaos in my life.
The 2025 Oscar nominations are out, and, trust me, they did not disappoint. This year’s list of contenders is a cinematic fever dream of groundbreaking films, historic nominations and a little bit of controversy to keep things spicy. From Emilia Pérez making history, to Wicked bringing Broadway glam to the big screen and The Brutalist sparking debates about technology in film, it’s a lineup worth dissecting. So, let’s roll out the red carpet and break it all down.
Dr. Won Jin Ho presented a talk as part of the Immunology Neighborhood Seminar on “Overcoming the tumor immune microenvironment — barriers to cancer immunotherapy” on Jan 21. Ho is a physician-scientist at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center and director of the Mass Cytometry Director at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
British author Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day is my favorite type of book. Instead of a fast-paced plot with witty one-liners and gritty characters, the mind space accompanied by the story is a bit like having an entire afternoon to run one errand. Eventually, the task has to be completed, but there seems to be an abundance of time to meander while daydreaming, prod at a few things that catch your attention and stumble across a memory to unravel. You pause. Bracing yourself, you tug.
Welcome back Hopkins fans! One week after returning from winter break, the Blue Jays are back in action. Winter sports are entering conference play with Centennial Conference and NCAA tournaments right around the corner. Hopkins teams are jockeying for positions down the stretch, with key wins over Centennial foes. Here’s the latest in Blue Jay action over the past week.
There’s a hidden pseudoscience behind every child’s dream job. Just as people scrutinize the skies under which they were born to determine their star chart — to figure out why they are a caretaker, why their last relationship didn’t work out or why they can’t eat raw carrots but only stewed — one can extract an unfathomable amount of information based solely on what they wanted to be when they were kids. Or at least I think so.

On Thursday, Jan. 16 the University’s Public Interest Investment Advisory Committee (PIIAC) released a report that declined a divestment proposal. The proposal, drafted by Hopkins Justice Collective (HJC), an organization of Hopkins students, staff and alumni that has been vocal in its advocacy for Palestine, requested that the University divest its endowment from companies with ties to with the state of Israel, specifically those involved in the production of weapons. HJC’s proposal also asked that Hopkins disclose the financial investments of its endowment, both now and in the future. The PIIAC declined both requests with a vote of 15 to 1.
The Student Government Association (SGA) convened for their first meeting of the spring semester. Members reviewed plans for the upcoming Student Involvement Fair (SIF) and discussed semester goals, construction updates and a Valentine’s Day Tabling event on Tuesday, Jan. 21.
