A couple of weeks ago, we told Columbia to get its shit together. But as February drags on longer than we thought possible and midterm season digs into our sleep schedules and self confidence, we’re starting to realize that the real culprit may not be the institution we inhabit, but our sorry asses themselves. Last […]

“This is actually something that was brought to our attention by students this past weekend,” Benjamin Makansi (CCSC President) said, when asked if the last item of business the Columbia College Student Council tackled on their Sunday night meeting (making “Cannon’s accessible beyond freshmen and Manhattan College people”) was a joke. The resolution was, apparently, far […]

An anonymous source (presumably someone on Allsex?), just submitted a tip alerting us of free food on the 2nd floor of the Diana Center. Go get some delicious, free bake sale goodies while supplies last. Thanks, tipster!  

After merging with FLIP National, FLIP Columbia is able to offer students MicroGrants for this spring. However, the application for these MicroGrants had been open for four days before FLIP sent out the an email announcement on February 28th. This will likely pose a problem to those who could have filled out the application over the […]

This morning, CU Apartheid Divest has released a statement from faculty who support its action in “calling upon the University to take a moral stance against Israel’s violence in all its forms.” The statement expresses that these faculty members are “professionally, intellectually, and morally invested in [their] University” and cites a 2002 student and faculty […]

The Oscars were last night. People won. Other people lost. Mad Max: Fury Road reminded everyone that it’s insanely good. Chris Rock said some offensive things. A familiar meme died to thunderous applause. (USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair) The Metropolitan Museum of Art is redesigning its signage. This might not seem like news, but for the […]

In honor of the Academy Awards happening tonight, but more importantly in honor of the Red Carpet happening before (be honest, what do you care about more?), Bwog has decided to do its second round of Oscar-related Bwog Asked. We headed to Butler to see what our fellow classmates had to say. Outside “Forever 21 tbh.” “I […]

“Me, me, MEEEE!!!” Donald Trump’s granddaughter screams to me from a few feet away.  She wants to be swirled around the pool in dizzying circles like the other girl I babysat at the golf club.  Which isn’t particularly interesting except in order to get to me she has to break the grasp from two other […]

We just received a tip regarding Israeli Apartheid Week – more specifically, regarding recent vandalism of the posters advertising this week’s events. IAW starts this Monday and runs from February 29th to March 4th. We have also attached close up images below that show the writing on each section of torn poster. Messages include, “I LOVE Israel!” […]

Yeah. You’re Welcome. Or, actually, Peter Sterne should take credit. Thanks to him, we now have our very own geotag.

Sup dudes. What’s going on. How’s it hangin’.What’s crack-a-lackin’. (No question marks needed because we’re too cool for those.) Anyway, we’ve been hangin’ in Lerner 505 lately, like pretty much every Sunday night. It’d be so chill if you joined us. But of course, it’s totally up to you. Catch ya in SGO at 7pm. Be […]

This morning at about 2:30am, residents of Barnard’s Elliott Hall were evacuated due to a fire. Barnard did not activate the emergency alert system, and as of now there has been no further information from the school. Even residents of Elliott aren’t sure what happened. According to one tipster, a resident’s lamp started the fire. Another […]

The Facebook page boldly proclaims three things: “Free! All ages! Oodles of zines!” For the third and final event of the Big Barnard & Columbia Feminist Weekend, the Feminist Zinefest will be held. From noon until six tonight, you’ll have the chance to check out the newest zines, meet the authors, and learn about feminism in a […]

Yoko is free! … from the Mount Sinai West, after being hospitalized for some bad flu symptoms. (CBS News) Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico, says there’s no way in hell he’s paying for Trump’s wall. Well, actually, he used a different expletive. (NY Times) Not everyone’s so fed up Trump, though. Former heartthrob Aaron Carter […]
