You’ve used it to staple everything from your 50-sheet long Anthropology readings and your pirated eBook of Sappho’s poetry to your print-outs of Chem lecture notes (because you never go) and the collection of quotes you’ve collected from your Biology professor. You […]

With Halloween around the corner, we were expecting some spooky tips—we were not, however, expecting horror (because that’s what it is) closer to home. In the picture to the right, you see tentacles (of the sea, distant, alien, weird) found during dinner at John Jay on a day that seafood was not served.  What is this, […]

New York rats—they’ve made you laugh, cry, and cower in the corner (watching Pizza Rat really makes you explore the range of human emotion), but the rodentification of the city has become an increasingly gross problem that the city is attempting to address. (New York Times) Who cares about water on Mars, when there might be a […]

We know it’s been family weekend these past couple of days. Hope y’all had some good, clean, wholesome fun! Because now it’s time for Bwog. And you know us, we tend to get a little unseemly. So maybe don’t tell your parents to tag along tonight? If you’re lucky, they’ve already kissed you goodbye and […]

Dame Angela Landsbury, famed British-American actress, celebrated her 90th birthday on Friday. To borrow a phrase from Rookie, Damn, girl, ya look good! (The Guardian) The J. Edgar Hoover Building, the FBI’s headquarters, is falling to pieces, and has been for the past ten years. Now, plans for a new building are months behind schedule. […]

Bwog provides a run-down of Homecoming 2015: “International tourists asked for photos with me at the pep rally.” “Students drinking out of open containers on college walk.” “My friend lied that she was in SEAS to get a scarf. And just misspelled her name really badly.” “They ran out of beer.” “Friend compared homecoming bus […]

A few unpopular presidential candidates voiced their thoughts this past week about their low poll standings. Our fave was Governor Chris Christie’s optimistic outlook regarding Iowa and New Hampshire results: “I don’t necessarily think you have to win either state.” (New York Times) Some NYU students are living in $300/night hotel rooms because the university […]

In this edition of A Night In The Life, a staff writer captures what it is like to be treading the thin line between tortured chemistry TA and borderline alcoholic. 10:43 pm I’ve finally finished checking all those ridiculous limiting reacting equations… Who knew that undergrads actually had to know things? Back in my day, we […]

This week, Georgia Tech’s Phi Delta Theta chapter has been accused of using racial slurs against a fellow female student. While the fraternity insists the allegation is false, the fraternity has received disciplinary action. Luckily, Columbia’s greek life would never be that problematic, right?

Nearby, CDCJ representatives handed […]

Starting today, all new Tesla Model S cars will be receiving a new software update that includes – get ready for this – autopilot.
