Spec is reporting that Matt Brown and Stephen Searles, of the homophobic and antisemitic graffiti, were slapped on their spray-painting wrists today at their court hearing (this time, they decided to show up). Bwog noticed a few things: – Searles’ counselor, Simone Gordon, is a mitigation expert and sensitivity trainer at Yeshiva University, home to […]

One for each picture of you getting drunk, high, or both, conveniently made public thanks to facebook.

Last August, Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) set off a media shit storm by suggesting that NYPD officers use race as a criterion for “random” bag searches. After being slapped down by the good servicemembers themselves, Hikind is back at it, introducing a bill on Thursday that would permit police officers to arrest people for looking […]

No caption necessary. See it full-size.

Ninjas on campus! Bwog tipster Shannon Donnelly marvels: As I was crossing College Walk at 6:30 this evening, I came across at least a hundred Martial Arts blackbelts. They were all lined up in their white uniforms and black belts, looking very fierce despite the persistant rain. Because I don’t have the Zen training necessary […]

Have Princeton and Cornell caught NYU-itis? A study published in this month’s issue of Pediatrics found that 17% of students in a random web-based survey of 2,875 students at those two schools have purposely injured themselves in one way or another. This scares Bwog shitless. What is it about Ithaca and suburban New Jersey that […]

The Met and the Frick may be stimulating, but for some real deviance, Bwog recommends the Museum of Sex, a 2002 addition to New York City’s artistic firmament. One tipster recommends that visitors not miss the Sex Across America electronic exhibition, which features listings of visitor-submitted stories of various sexual encounters, sorted geographically Mapquest-style.

One hundred tuba players spotted at the quay by the World Financial Center. “We all just kind of showed up here,” one member of the 100Tubatet said.

These political statements spotted on a Brooklyn bound A train. These activists should know when to cut their losses. It’s a bit too late for the Phillipines.

Striding across College Walk, Bwog correspondent Gautam Hans sighted the Blood Drive Van and made this keen observation: “Although the Red Cross and other blood donation agencies are famous for not allowing men who’ve had anal sex with other men to donate (due to FDA regulations), some staff member was either being sly or not […]

The Columbia home page reports that the mustachioed UN-bashing UN representative John Bolton spoke at SIPA today, to a packed audience of doubtlessly dubious grad students. Besides summarizing the standard Bolton bullet points, the release directs us to the official SIPA blog, which Bwog liked until it noticed the student blogroll: one that’s all in […]

Bwog, which rejects value judgments of all kinds, was nevertheless amused to catch sight of a man selling water for $1 in Union Square. Wearing a Columbia T-shirt. Don’t say Columbia Career Services never gave you anything…

Dear Readers, You may have noticed that posts have become less frequent and more remote of late. With only a few staff at and around Columbia, news and gossip is harder to come by. For the remaining months of the summer, Bwog will be in hibernation, rousing itself when it finds something too juicy to […]

Craziness. His name is Cornell Barnard. What’s next, Columbia Harvard? The moose-men cometh. Streakin’ to the summit… There’s a snake in my boot! Pot-peddling preschoolers. The apocalypse is coming. Fight Club is real!
