You are hungover. The prospect of three midterms next week roams in the back of your mind. You wander about life, contemplating cosmos (but then deciding not to because Columbia has been forcing you to do that already). It isn’t really raining, but it sprinkles to mock you. If you are feeling (you probably are) anything like […]

What does it feel like when even your running mate thinks your opponent is more qualified for the office than you? In an interview with MSNBC, Bill Weld, the libertarian vice presidential nominee, accidentally spilled the wrong cup of tea: “I’m not sure anybody’s more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be president of the United […]

Remember our EC Archetypes? This time, Bwog is taking a look at the personalities in your core (or “foundations” or “nine ways”) classes.

As rosy-fingered […]

Creepy clown sightings have spread along the east coast as clowns continue to frighten communities . Clowns in North Carolina, Wisconsin and New Jersey have been seen standing near apartment buildings, public facilities, and have attempted to lure small children into the woods. A school lockdown  has occurred on Long Island after a clown sighting was reported near a high […]

Looking forward to escaping the hell of Carman bathrooms by living in a newly-renovated dorm next year? Well, you may not be so lucky. Apparently, some of these nicer bathrooms have already been destroyed due to debauchery/water leaks(?). Staffers sent in evidence of their dorms’ trashy toilets that they were told would be renovated. Drunken […]

In the need to spice up your nighttime (or daytime) escapades? One boozy Bwogger reviews the latest arrival at International. Disclaimer: This message was not sponsored by Maven and is simply the result of a very good night. This new import at International is worth the scrutiny of your fake ID. To describe Maven’s crispy, bright […]

Yesterday, politically savvy Bwogger Tamara Barriot took time to assess whether “The Donald” means what he says about getting the Latino vote. As refreshing as discussing the viewpoints of our two political idols can be, this was not Tamara’s first rodeo. Any debate regarding Donald Trump’s care for Latinos will likely spark controversy, and yesterday’s was no […]

Love: CONFIRMED: Lady Gaga will perform at Superbowl LI on Feb. 6, 2017. “It’s not an illusion.

In one of the last “firsts” of the Obama administration, Congress just overrode Obama’s veto for the first time. The bill, which Obama vetoed but will now become law, will allow victims of 9/11 to sue Saudi Arabia because of the countries connections to those attacks. (Huffington Post) If you’re registered to vote in New […]

If you’re familiar with most modern art movements, music genres, aesthetics, and, of course, a e s t h e t i c s, you’re probably an expert on vaporwave (or, at least, you spend more than enough time on the internet). Despite considering himself knowledgeable about most musical genres, our Arts Editor knew absolutely nothing about […]

Happy hump day! Here’s some weird, wacky Wednesday news to relieve your mid-week malaise. On Tuesday, The Anti-Defamation League declared Pepe the frog as a hate symbol. The popular meme started off innocently enough, but recent usage by white supremacists and anti-Semitics have tarnished the image’s reputation. Love it or hate it, it’s RIP Pepe. (TIME) The first-ever baby […]

Though some Columbia students avoid going to Claremont at all costs, one Bwogger and 47 Claremont resident has to cross the street every day to get home…and there are no crosswalks. Claremont Avenue runs only 11 blocks (from 116th Street to Tiemann Place), and it completely lacks crosswalks. Though Google Maps shows crosswalks at 120th […]

No,  that wasn’t an episode of South Park you tuned into on CNN last night. Regardless of whether you participated in a drinking game for last night’s debate, you all woke up with some type of headache. Between Trump’s repetitive, juvenile jabs and Hillary’s uncomfortable, forced laughter, I can assure you the debate did not do any wonders […]
