If you were thinking of swimming to the Bahamas this weekend…don’t…because hundreds of sharks are making their way home. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… (BBC) More aquatic creatures! A new whale species was found in California when they tried to build a highway. (Time) We all remember […]
Remember when we wrote a light-hearted and clearly speculative post about some rumors to get pumped up about Bacchanal? Apparently Bacchanal didn’t find it as much fun.

He began: This past December, with final exams looming, many SIPA students descended into Lehman Library only to stumble upon the only thing even more frightening than the prospect […]
The evening began informally with Olivia Harris, CC ’14, jiving around the small stage, which was enough to put any audience member in a good mood. She sassily sang along to the classic songs the band was playing, making us wish we could have heard more of her voice later on in the preview. When the full cast […]
