USenate doesn’t send updates too often, so we were surprised by their recent email detailing ongoing policy discussions. The initiatives mentioned were increasing space for students (for studying and clubs) as some schools begin to move uptown, a revamping of course evaluation protocol, and a mention of the movement to commemorate the Lenape peoples with a plaque on campus. Additionally, […]

Has PrezOb taken a page out of Shonda Rhimes’s playbook and murdered a United States justice, a la Scandal’s Fitz? Well, at least one person thinks so. (Black Bag) A presumably wide-eyed Arkansas tourist had his skull fractured by a mysterious ex-con; the tourist had refused to buy tickets to the Statue of Liberty from his […]

Some of you may be familiar with the website Texts From Last Night (TFLN), where users submit screenshots of texts they sent during nights out. After looking at some of our embarrassing screenshots, we realized that a lot of our texts could have easily been submissions from the website, despite the fact that they were […]

Today at the BP Energy Outlook event, Columbia Divest for Climate Justice (CDCJ) interrupted the BP Energy Outlook, a talk with Group Chief Economist Spencer Dale and sponsored by the Center on Global Energy. The event, which “attempts to describe the ‘most likely’ trajectory of the global energy system based upon assumptions around economic and population […]

The one and only hookup master of Bwog comments on the next place to get it on semi-publicly: our famous Diana. Valentine’s Day might be over – the chocolates eaten, the flowers bought, and the profiles swiped – but it’s never too late to fornicate. Global warming has expedited the snow melting process, and as ice […]

Barrack Obama welcomed the leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) yesterday on an estate in California as part of his “Asia pivot”. They seem to be focused upon maritime disputes in the South China Sea as well as the United States’ relationship with ASEAN. (Forbes) China reentered the financial world yesterday following […]

So, Valentine’s Day was yesterday. It probably could’ve gone better. We know. Your mom knows. Your small and not particularly dedicated Instagram following knows. Bwog’s Valentine’s weekend was, well, mixed. (The good attendance at yesterday’s evening meeting probably says something about our collective love life.) Loving Love: Prayed for my teacher to get in an […]

It is with great sadness that Bwog informs you of the passing of a fellow student, Sarah Elizabeth Matthews, a GS undergraduate majoring in History and Theory of Architecture. She was a kind member of the Columbia community, and she will be missed. Resources are available on campus for anyone who needs assistance during this […]

Kanye West’s new album “Life of Paolo” is out and already capturing attention, both critically and in Butler reference rooms. Reviews are calling it “Tumblr-as-album,” and saying that Kanye “has perfected the art of aesthetic and intellectual bricolage, shape-shifting in real time and counting on listeners to keep up.” We’re not exactly sure what that […]

It was due time to bring back Bwog Asked for this semester, and what better way to begin than with a topical topic. Kanye has just dropped The Life of Pablo, currently exclusively available on Tidal. So, what do students think of the new album? Do they love it? Hate it? How many students even […]

Bring your significant other if you […]

Things got cute as heck on Friday, with Barack’s Valentine’s Day message for Michelle, which he shared on Ellen. “I love you so much,” he said. “I Obamacare about you more than you even know.” (Huffington Post) Things have gotten getting downright ridiculous. Trump threatened to sue Ted Cruz on Friday for – out of all […]

This weekend’s Central Park Ice Festival was cancelled because it’s too cold. That’s right! It’s too fucking cold for ice! (New York Times) Back in the day, NYC used to discard old subway cars in junkyards. The abandoned cars were super creepy, so it made for some sick art. (Mashable) UWS drivers are very upset that […]
