We thought Columbia Athletics giving out free beer at the St. Francis game must have been the epitome of our wonderful institution attempting to persuade to actually have any semblance of pride in its activities. We thought CCSC, ESC, SGA, and ESSC were done trying to support the administration and its myriad of flaws. We thought Columbia […]

Alec Baldwin, who has perfected Donald Trump’s signature look and speech in his SNL parodies, comes clean on who he will vote for this upcoming election- Charlie Brown. Although a longtime Democratic party supporter, Baldwin revealed Brown is the one person whom he can truly support as he’s the one with similar wishes and a […]

From time to time, we like to arrange the various elements of Columbia life into a ranking of sorts, dividing the good from the bad, and the beautiful from the unseemly. In the light of Delta Gamma’s latest successful iteration of their philanthropic Anchor Splash, we felt it necessary to rank the public showcases contained in the […]

Bwog always loves a good fashion show (and hates domestic violence), so we decided to send our Arts Editor and Bwogger Lexie Lehman to Alpha Chi Omega’s annual fall philanthropy event ‘Runway Warriors,’ a fashion show benefiting anti-domestic violence organizations. This past Saturday, Alpha Chi Omega sorority hosted their annual fall philanthropy event, ‘Runway Warriors 2016: Storm.’ […]

As Election Day slowly approaches, it seems like the Trump campaign is crumbling. A dozen of sexual assault accusations made towards the presidential candidate, lackluster performance in the debates, and a scandalous video may not turn Trump supporters around, but may have them telling Trump to shut his mouth. (Buzzfeed) South Korea’s Joint Chief of […]

It’s 2am. You’re at a party in EC. You’re sweaty, you’re sticky, and the room won’t stop spinning. You consider lying down on the floor and never getting up again. But then, you hear those signature opening bars, followed by that pterodactyl-like sound of your friends screeching – it’s that song. It’s your song. It’s the song. The […]

Notorious RBG tried to take back a past statement in a discussion on Colin Kaepernick’s hotly debated protest for black lives in the United States. Initially calling the protest “dumb,” Ginsburg claimed that she wasn’t informed on the reasons for Kaepernick’s protest. She later regretted her comments and said that she should have refrained from comment, […]

Will we ever find alien life, like we’ve always dreamed? Stargazing Live presenter and physicist Brian Cox says “Uh, not really,” stating that every alien civilization will self-destruct before we can encounter them.

As midterm season accelerates into full swing, the halls of Butler seem more crowded than the halls of Carman on a Friday night. Suitemate sightings are few and far between. We’re so damn nocturnal it’s like we’ve all gone BATshit (Get it? Because bats are nocturnal?). First year Sarah Kinney has decided to study for […]

Law enforcement officials are saying that a plane crash in Connecticut on Tuesday was likely intentional. The crash had only one survivor. (New York Times) Hackers can now eavesdrop on your Skype calls without your knowledge, and their methods are almost undetectable. Watch out! (The Atlantic) Costumeish, a Halloween costume company, has come under fire recently […]

This Tuesday, in the spirit of FDR’s (and PrezBo’s) famous “fireside chats,” President Spar sat around a table with a group of passionate young students to discuss this election cycle. The group was handpicked from applications to ensure discussion would be stimulating enough that Dspar wouldn’t be checking her twitter under the table halfway through. […]

On Tuesday morning, Bwog staff writers Lexie Lehmann and Sarah Kinney dragged their tired butts out of bed to attend an event that was actually pretty legit, a conversation on sustainable energy and climate change with Brian Deese, senior advisor to President Obama. The event was hosted by SIPA’s Center on Global Energy Policy. At […]

An Arizona man adopted a “free puppy,” only to discover later that it was actually a wolf. The “puppy” reportedly chewed through fences, ignored dog treats, and avoided eye contact. Dog or wolf, these photos are still adorable. (Cosmopolitan) Al Gore reminded Floridians on Tuesday that their votes “really, really, really” count. In the 2000 […]

This week’s SGA meeting focused almost singularly on the ongoing negotiations between Barnard and the Barnard Contingent Faculty (BCF)- UAW unit. This comes after a contentious student panel last week and an email from President Spar and Provost Bell that presented the college’s positions and some of their reasonings to the students. Much of the […]

Midterms, Yom Kippur fasting, weather in the 40’s, Oh My! Get ready to stock up on bagels, NyQuill and Cashmere sweaters. Bwog is here to remind you, it could be worse. Trump’s self-dubbed “8th Wonder of the World” Taj Mahal Casino has officially closed its gaudy, faux Mughal engineered doors. Atlantic City took a sigh of relief as the […]
