No. 10 Duke men's soccer defeats lockdown defense to beat Virginia Tech on the road

(10/26/24 2:38pm)

As a part of Virginia Tech’s annual homecoming celebration, a parade marches through campus and downtown Blacksburg, Va., while fireworks ring out overhead. This year’s celebration coincided with Duke’s trip to Thompson Field, where these light shows could be heard and seen ripping across the sky for much of the second half of the ACC showdown. Below them, the Blue Devils and the Hokies kept their offensive firepower silent through the match's first frame, until a 53rd-minute strike by junior midfielder Drew Kerr split the game wide open moments after the halftime break to bring the fireworks inside the soccer stadium.



Duke Players’ ‘Circle Mirror Transformation’ grounds itself in human connection

(10/26/24 12:08am)

One of the most awkward, fascinating places to be is a community theater class, where small moments of silence and seemingly-silly acting exercises combine to bring people together. Duke Players’ production of “Circle Mirror Transformation” navigates these small moments as an exploration of human connection, building a grounded, funny, and heart-wrenching world that reaches into moments of awkward uncertainty and pulls out vulnerability.

The conscienceless Micheal Parsons and fake Christian values

(10/25/24 12:00pm)

On an early morning in what is believed to be the years 30-40 of the Common Era, Jesus Christ arrived to teach his disciples on a mountainous ridge that overlooked the city of Jerusalem, called the Mount of Olives. The place is named for the silvery green olive groves that once covered its slopes and is said to be the location where Jesus Christ would eventually ascend to Heaven. The Bible says that Jesus’s teachings were interrupted by a group of people who brought forward a woman who was caught in the act of prostitution. The group said "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" The group asked for the permission of Jesus to throw stones at the lady until she died as a form of punishment. 


A requiem for the Duke student from the middle of nowhere

(10/25/24 12:00pm)

If I were a director with some absurdist quality to my work (à la Charlie Kaufman) and I were to create some satirical depiction of Duke admissions, I’d film them drawing a map of the U.S.. The camera would pan in to show that they’ve penciled the entire country as a series of key cities and towns: New York, L.A., Westchester, the entire state of New Jersey … I think New England, my home region, would be represented by a few elite boarding schools that funnel students to Duke, and maybe also Greenwich, Connecticut. (Although anyone up there will tell you that’s not really New England; they’re Yankees fans.)
