During the summer of his sophomore year, Kabir Mehra ’26 decided to reach out to some of his friends to “jam out” some of the songs he had been workshopping on his guitar. By week three of summer term, the group had fleshed out a repertoire of songs and formed a band: Day Drooler. This band is more “just a group of friends,” Mehra said. Christian Smith ’27 and Nathan McAllister ’25, who play lead guitar and saxophone respectively, had done gigs with Mehra the spring before Day Drooler’s formation. Grant Foley ’25, who plays the drums, and Ian Glick ’26, who plays bass, both became friends with Mehra through the Dartmouth music scene.

Although Dan Erickson’s “Severance” is rife with cynicism and corporate humor, it differs drastically from a workplace satire. “Severance” is ultimately a work of science fiction. The show grants insight into the depths of human psychology and emotion.

“L’Absinthe” by Edgar Degas. “Tired” by Ramón Casas. “The Wedding Dress” by Frederick Elwell.

“This is bliss / This is Hell / Forever is a feeling / And I know it well,” sings singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus in the titular track of her fourth solo album, “Forever is a Feeling.” These lines depict the central juxtaposition of the record which grapples with the ephemerality of love. Dacus knows “forever” is impossible, but she wants it all the same.

On Wednesday, Feb. 12, there were more people than chairs in the Wheelock House, the Christian Living Learning Community and former home of Eleazar Wheelock. Spencer Reece, a visiting poet and Episcopalian priest, stood at the front of the room like it was a Sunday service. He led the group in “Shalom,” a call-and-response prayer begetting peace. As I repeated the Hebrew benediction, moving from whispers to shouts, I felt aware of how rarely an opportunity arises to join a group of strangers and sing without shame.

In the spirit of the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the “White Lotus” season premiere — “Same Spirits, New Forms” — delivers exactly what its title promises. For those unfamiliar, the “spirit” of the White Lotus television series centers around a luxury resort enterprise functioning as a cultural refuge for the hyper-rich. Far from broke, the Emmy award-winning first and second seasons of “White Lotus” cemented themselves in the zeitgeist as a satirical exploration of America’s ever-expanding wealth gap. Each season thus far has transformed the serene utopia of a Four Seasons property into a crime scene where everything that can go wrong, does, and where somebody innocent is sure to end up dead.

If controversy begets conversation, then on Sunday, the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, La. hosted a performance primed for discussion. The Super Bowl halftime show is meant to appeal to the masses, which is why, for many viewers, Kendrick Lamar’s performance fell short — its dense, politically-charged messaging went against the mainstream audience’s expectations. However, I think the 13-minute set undoubtedly stood as a testament to a storyteller’s showmanship.
