Conspiracies about Damar Hamlin’s injury find traction

“For many people, this is almost a game to see how far they can actually go and who will take the bait,” said Anthony Adornato, chair of SU’s broadcast and digital journalism department.

Adornato, whose research focuses on journalists’ use of social media, said outlandish reactions to Hamlin’s collapse didn’t surprise him. He recalled thinking at the time this was another high-profile event, making it easy to get into the feeds of many people – giving extreme groups an opportunity to spew misin

"Succession" mid-season recap and review: a free-for-all to the finish

Five episodes in, and we’re a long way from Succession’s season four premiere when siblings Kendall, Siobhan, and Roman Roy were crafting “The Hundred,” a start-up digital hub described by Kendall as “Substack-meets-Masterclass-meets-The Economist-meets-The New Yorker.” Typical of Kendall (Jeremy Strong), he was in over his head.

SU ice hockey unable to complete comeback against Mercyhurst

A seeing-eye slapshot goal from the point followed by a tuck inside the post from in close, and before the Orange could blink, they were down 2-0 to Mercyhurst.

Mercyhurst (17-13-2, 9-3-2 CHA) scored two goals within the first five minutes and Syracuse (9-22-2, 6-9-1 CHA) wasn’t able to claw back, dropping the regular season CHA finale 4-2.

Finding success on the power play, the Orange made it a one-goal game with 1:20 to go, but the Lakers spoiled any hope of a comeback with an empty net tall

SU ice hockey can’t capitalize on power play opportunities, drops third in a row

After a defensive zone faceoff win at the end of the second period, Mercyhurst’s Mary Kromer swiftly took the puck up the right side of the ice. Meanwhile, her teammate Sydney Pederson gained a step on the two Syracuse defensemen as she glided into the offensive zone.

All Pederson needed was a solid saucer pass and she’d be alone with the goaltender.

She got just that, kicking the puck from skate to stick on the feed from Kromer. A nifty move to the backhand fooled Syracuse goaltender Arielle

'Babylon' brings the chaos and turbulence of Hollywood

Damien Chazelle’s Babylon is loud, lengthy and all over the place, but it certainly isn’t boring; perhaps a fitting title would’ve been Everything Everywhere All At Once, had it not already been taken by the Oscar-nominated picture that managed to elegantly capture chaos. Babylon is far from elegant, but it’s star-studded and entertaining, tracking the highs and lows of three Hollywood stars in the 1920s.

At the film’s outset, actress Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie) is on the cusp of breaking thro

MY CHILDHOOD, MY COUNTRY Film Review — A Childhood Torn by War

The Buddhas of Bamiyan once stood tall and majestic, a pair of statues residing in central Afghanistan. In March of 2001, the Buddhas were reduced to rubble, bombed and destroyed by Taliban forces. To an outsider, the once awe-inspiring landmark was nothing but remnants of what once was. To Mir, the ruins were home, a representation of his troubled upbringing, and the appropriate introduction to a life molded by the terrorization of the Taliban.
