What could cowboys, murders, space, and racial injustice possibly all have in common? Not only are they all on display in the Martin Museum’s current exhibit “CLICKBAIT! A Treasure Trove of Pulp Fiction Cover Art,” but they also represent a mosaic of the complex and conflicting ideas of America in the mid-20th century, wrapped in a colorful and visually exciting exterior.

Although she graduated as a painting major, Olsen said she actually started off as a pre-med major and then switched to a math major before she circled back to her artistic abilities.

I’m not going to lie — I walked into the Waco Cinemark with expectations for this movie that weren’t exactly positive. Based on comments from friends and on social media about themes of supposed glorification of domestic violence in the film and simply knowing Colleen Hoover’s reputation for raunchy romances, I wasn’t expecting “It Ends With Us” to be my cup of tea — and it really wasn’t.

“People want to die doing something they really enjoy,” Wilfong said. “If you’re going to go out, go out doing something you really enjoy. And I tell my students every semester, it’s like my way of going out; I want to be in front of a class lecturing and going on a rant about Dr Oz and his nutrition.”

While music connects us, our taste shows a piece of who we are. Find out more about who the staff of The Lariat are by reading what they have to say about their very own self-proclaimed theme songs.

With this album, Taylor Swift sells her own misery. Without divulging the secret torture of her relationships with Matty Healy and Joe Alwyn and teasing the cute, triumphant moments with Travis Kelce (“The Alchemy”), this album wouldn’t sell as much as it has. The lore of Taylor Swift — who she dates, why they break up — keeps the machine running, not the music itself.

Not every Tuesday night calls for an expensive dinner, but sometimes you just need a good meal with friends. I ventured downtown to satisfy my craving for real non-microwavable food and ended up on Fourth Street at a new restaurant, Red Herring.

Prime’s newest prestige series centers around the “Fallout” video games, taking place in a retro-futuristic apocalypse. The show brings all of the best and the worst elements of the franchise to the screen, set in a wacky and brutal timeline.
