In a passionate Op-Ed, Christopher Suprun, a Republican Texas presidential elector, announced he will not be submitting his vote to elect Donald Trump. Disappointed that Trump does not believe in Reagan’s “shining city on the hill” model, which Suprun forgets most people don’t believe in, his argument went the way of Reagan’s heart and film career. (NY […]

Isn’t early December just the greatest? Thanksgiving sweeps you off your feet, feeds you, pampers you, and unceremoniously drops you back into reality.

The semester is slowly wrapping up, and we all know what that means: wisdom in bulk from our favorite departing seniors. That being said, there’s a whole other demographic of wise people to tap into on campus – and no, we’re not talking about the Diana Center pizza ladies. We’re talking about your professors. Do […]

The long-troubled relationship between Donald Trump and Saturday Night Live reached a whole new level of meta this weekend when the president-elect sent angry reckless tweets in response to the show’s mockery of his angry reckless tweeting. Alec Baldwin responded with – yes, you guessed it – yet another tweet, saying that he’d agree to put an end to […]

The end of the semester is approaching, and that means it’s almost time for everyone’s favorite opportunity to laugh at jokes they’d be too uncomfortable to make in front of their friends: Orgo Night. This year, as in all years, Orgo Night will be held the last night of reading week (not the night before […]

It feels like Thanksgiving has just passed, and now, school is ending in eight days. The reality of imminent finals is finally dawning upon us, and we could not decide whether to feel #blessed or #fucked. On one hand, winter break is approaching. We could finally stop sleeping in the stacks. On the other, our GPA […]

This semester, Barnard’s late night dining moved from Hewitt Dining Hall to Diana Cafe. Many of the students who visit the dining halls between 8:30 and 11pm are the same, but has the very nature of late night become intrinsically different while they were celebrating the new uses of their meal swipes? Senior staffer Betsy […]

Signal, an encrypted message app has skyrocketed by 400% in downloads since Donald Trump was elected president. Interpreting such incident, Moxie Marlinspike, the founder of Open Whisper Systems, said: “People are maybe a little bit uncomfortable with him.” (Buzzfeed) In a letter that Apple sent to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Apple hints […]

Recently, Senior Staff Writer Gabrielle Kloppers was lucky enough to have the opportunity to offer a survey to her close list of 800 Facebook friends. The survey concerned alcohol and drug use at Columbia, and their affect on GPA. The results were surprising. I know, I know. What a played out survey topic, right? We […]

You know what time of year it is. No, not cuffing season. Or Christmas. It’s crunch time, which means (for some of the riskier folk)  d r u g s. It can be hard to know whether to buy at all. And you may not know what to buy, especially if your doctor forgot to prescribe […]

On Thursday, December 1st, the ill-frequented, rarely-updated developer blog for bored@butler announced its “30 day notice before b@ will go offline”. After almost 10 continuous years of servicing the greater Columbia community—with a few notable breaks earlier on—the pseudonymous online hangout now finds itself at death’s door. The site’s creator, Jonathan Pappas CC ’06, known affectionately on […]

Sunday, December 4th Columbia University Orchestra @Roone Arledge Auditorium, 8:00 PM, Roone […]
