Twitter. “SexyBack.” High School Musical. Dick in a Box. What do all of these lovely things have in common? They turn ten this year! In other news, Bwog also turns ten this year, so our resident Baker-Bwoggers decided to celebrate by making a birthday cake. Classic. The twist? It’s (Columbia?) blue velvet!

Bwog is a place […]

Until you’re addicted. Here’s a post for all the Barnard students smoking outside the chastity gates, the frosh socializing outside Carman, and the […]

Romantic hope among optimistic young urban professionals/students is omnipresent. Last year Tinder, the year before OkCupid, before that Match.com, SeekingArrangments, ChristianMingle… Today apps like Bumble, Happn, and The League have hit the scene, promising love, but you STILL haven’t found The One. Have no fear! Bwog is here. You don’t need to be single this […]

Moses parted the Red Sea, and America can “turn off” (redirect) Niagara Falls…in order to repair two pedestrian bridges, to ensure tourist safety. Hurrah! (NY Times) Enfant terrible Donald Trump boycotted last night’s Republican Debate, but that didn’t stop candidates Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz from verbally jousting over immigration.

It’s a well-known fact that Bwog and the Columbia Daily Spectator have complex feelings for each other.

In “thank goodness for science” news, researchers made the recent  discovery that certain genes are linked to the tendency towards developing schizophrenia–this could lead to new therapeutic techniques in the near future!

Give the Action Line at Ferris a break and feed both your body and soul (too cheesy?) with some live music today. Live At Lerner presents Lauv, a pop/R&B/indie artist who will perform songs from his new album “Lost in the Light.” It’ll be today (!), in the Piano Lounge of Lerner from 1 to 2 […]

Light a candle in your dorm tonight, because Rostam Batmanglij has left Vampire Weekend, leaving the band gutted, and perhaps artistically (un)dead. Every Columbian mourns tonight, reminded of the ephemeral nature of this material world. (Pitchfork) Maybe more bands don’t come out of Columbia because, as this noise map of the city shows, we are a staid […]
