Late derby drama sees Southport rescue a point against Chester
Southport left it late to secure a dramatic point against Chester in a rain-soaked Merseyside derby, writes Sam Lawrence at The Big Help Stadium. Adrien Thibaut’s stoppage-time strike ensured the Yellows extended their unbeaten run to four games despite being forced to come from behind twice after dominating much of the contest. The hosts came into the fixture 21st in the National League North table but buoyed by an upturn in form, while Chester were aiming to build on their win over Buxton.

Emerson alum M Sloth Levine’s ‘The Interrobangers’ explores queer survival through a culturally recognizable lens
On Jan. 27, “The Interrobangers” premiered at the Boston Public Library with the Company One Theater. This queer coming-of-age production draws inspiration from a variety of media that share the same universe, including “The X Files” and “Twin Peaks”—but its biggest inspiration stems from the beloved cartoon “Scooby Doo.” “Scooby Doo” is a staple of modern-day pop culture. The 1969 series was an immediate hit among young viewers due to the bright colors, exciting music, and lovable characters.
Monolith Festival - Sydney
It has been a long time since I’ve been to a music festival. The last one was well before the virus, the (unbeknownst at the time) final Soundwave line up in 2016 – which to be fair, was one of the best lineups in the festival’s history. So I could hardly contain my excitement when the Monolith Festival was announced last year, originally for a date in March. Straight off the bat, I’d like to say that I want to see this model used for festivals in the future.

Review: Uncut Gems
The Safdie Brothers crime-thriller Uncut Gems was a labour of love for over 10 years. Penning the original script back in 2009, the sibling filmmakers were unable to get the financial backing they needed to get the project off the ground, primarily because they were relatively unknown in the industry at the time.
Review: Sex Education Season 2
That’s right Tromboners, season two of Sex Education is here and it is back in all its socially awkward, sexually frustrated and hormonal glory.

UNC Basketball: Justin Jackson's strong start to 2016 season
With the departure of Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson, two of North Carolina’s leading scorers from last year, someone had to step up and be more aggressive this season.

The 6-foot-8, 210-pound wing is averaging 16.7 points per game, compared to the previous season where he scored only 12.2 points per game. Jackson is also averaging 12.6 field goal attempts per game, two more than last season.

UNC Basketball: Williams offers 2017 center Sterling Manley
After Roy Williams offered 2017 center Sterling Manley, we take a look at his recruitment and how he could fit in the Carolina system. After watching Sterling Manley go through a workout at his school in Pickerington, Ohio, Williams decided to pop the question. Well, not that question… You know what I mean. Williams added this 6-foot-11 center to a long list of big men offered in the 2017 class. Some of Manley’s strongest attributes are his length and post skills.
UNC Basketball: Tar Heels offer 2017 power forward Garrison Brooks
The 4-star prospect was quick to respond as he set up an official visit at Chapel Hill on October 7th. As you may know, Carolina is in need of some front-court depth and they believe that Brooks could provide them with just that. At 6-foot-9, some people view him as a center, but he is generally classified as a power forward due to his ability to knock down mid-range shots. Brooks has reportedly shut down all interviews until after his commitment, and he is not planning on cutting down his list.
