How to Forge an Iron Fist
How do I rule with an iron fist? This has been the question on every political leader’s mind since humans first took up the practice of agriculture and immediately began schemes to control others. You might think that emulating the decrees of past sovereigns would guarantee you permanent power, but the crucial commonality that unites […]

However, what you may have also noticed is a regular pattern of content from these heathens. They constantly include art of our lovely school mascot, Temoc.

Ratford Reviews
This month, Comets sent me their favorite movies to review! I watched each and every one, except for the movies that seemed boring. I have a very refined palette, after all. Priscilla Stop calling Elvis a rat. We don’t claim him. Wonka My niece said Timothée Chalamet “Timothée Chala-slayed”. Personally, I just know there’s a […]

March 2024: Food for Thought
This month I explored two local Chinese restaurants that were absolutely delicious. Both are perfect spots to bring groups of friends to share dishes with. Be sure to also check out the video reviews of these spots, coming soon on Moon Meals by UTDTV! The first stop I visited was Steam Dumpling, conveniently located 15 […]
