As I scrolled down the page, “Cyborgs” was the only word that came to mind when I explored CEO Elon Musk’s website for “Neuralink,” a brain implant meant to bridge the gap between intention and ability (i.e., for patients who have paralysis, are deaf, blind, etc.). I reflected on films like “iRobot,” “Ender’s Game,” and “Creator,” all movies in which […]

For the upcoming Coffeehouse: Animated event later this semester, Hosler still needs to tryout, like any other student who wants to participate, even though the story detailed plans for the video he is working on for […]

Considering this is Liberty University, it seems most people are either familiar with fasting, or know someone who has done so in some fashion. Typically, when we think of fasting, we are quick to assume the word refers to diet, especially since the emergence of popular health trends such as intermittent fasting. However, fasting can refer simply to the abstinence […]

Lately, it has become easier to see the moral future of the West. Unfortunately, it does not seem so hopeful as it was when my grandfather was 20. He lived in a country that knew little of padlocks and alarm systems. Confusion was simply cured by curiosity, and differences were concluded by conversation. Maybe he was ill-informed and well unaware […]

My passion for writing served me well as the editor on my college’s newspaper in the early 70s. I interviewed politicians like Sen. Thomas Eagleton and rock stars like the Bee Gees. I wrote about student government and campus protests. I never imagined a future career as a college newspaper advisor. Yet since 1994, I’ve had the privilege of serving […]

Welcome back, y’all; it’s time to talk Flames basketball. Over the last few weeks, the Flames began their first stint of conference play as members of Conference USA, and it hasn’t gone as smoothly as many expected it to.

The two basketball teams gracing the court the night of Jan. 18 couldn’t look much different. On one end stood the Florida International University Panthers, fresh off a stunning late-game surge over the UTEP Miners that allowed the team to retain a 2-1 standing in conference play. On the other end, however, was the Liberty Flames, a team yet to […]

The transfer portal for college football is one of the most horribly designed systems in modern sports. The fact that it closes and players have to announce their choice of whether to stay or to transfer to a different school while the season is still in session is pure lunacy. The NCAA has been focusing on the empowerment and mobility of […]
