Historically, New York has not seen many tornados. (So few so that Bwog had to lookup whether there’s an “e” in the plural. You can go either way.) To celebrate this atypical natural splendor, Alexandra Svokos urges you to Choose Your Own Adventure: A. You are sitting in bed, noshing on some Strawberry Veronas and […]
Update: The view from East Campus is being described as “mad cool,” and “hella terrifying” by residents. The following email was just sent out by Dean Martinez, on behalf of Public Safety: The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch and predicted severe thunder storms for our area until 9:00pm tonight. All students are asked to […]
Each week, amateur astronomer Zach Kagan watches the skies for signs of SCIENCE. We present here this week’s findings—a special offering that highlights the search for dark matter. Dark Matter is a term that’s thrown around a lot when people talk about unsolved mysteries in astrophysics. You’ve probably heard about the stuff, but you may not […]
Approaching a potential new friend at Columbia can be super hard; subtly indicating to that person how cool/smart/funny you are without outright showing them your canon of Will-Arnett-as-Gob impressions can be even harder. Bwog has been there! That’s why we’ve prepared these versatile, easy-to-use mad libs for those Sweet ’16ers who haven’t quite broken the […]
A nocturnal critter of the crime-fighting variety has decided to move in on Wien 10, “living,” as the tipster put it, “happily on the ceiling.” They’ve named the little guy Bruce Wien, probably because the bat is a rich orphan or something. Thanks to DY for the tip
Maybe Mitt Romney should just give up now, because apparently the odds of him becoming president are a wee bit slim. (NYMag) A former Croatian tennis star was forced to give up his net dreams due to injuries, but hey, he’s now a student at Columbia Law School. (NYTimes) Is hookup culture a sign that […]
Submissions are still coming in for our contest, which ends on Sunday. So just keep your mouth shut till then and you won’t be embarrassed. Italians, cover your ears. From Helen K. A group of elitist freshmen monopolizing the Westside cheese aisle: “Mozzarella?! No! That’s peasant food.” Sounds about right, Alex J. Drunk girl counting […]
Tomorrow at 8 pm WKCR Offbeat is holding a pretty exciting concert at Shea Stadium (no, not that one) in Brooklyn. Beat bopper Alexandra Svokos sat down with Concert Coordinator Thuto Somo to learn more. Bwog: What was the the Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito show on WKCR in the 1990s like? Has KCR had other concerts like […]
Update 2: Jade is no longer a Speccie. Spec just updated their editors’ note to add that “we have absolutely no tolerance for plagiarism, and Jade’s relationship with Spectator has been terminated.” Update: Bonacolta’s position, according to Spec’s printed masthead, is currently Arts & Entertainment Associate, which is apparently the 3rd (and lowest) tier of editors […]
Even though this sounds like another Activities Fair booth, we felt sorry for the Office of the University Chaplain because they aren’t going to be on Low Plaza, but up by St. Paul’s Chapel. Religious Life Advisors will also be on hand to meet and greet new students. Maybe hit them up for post-fair dessert? Cookies, […]
President Obama concluded the Democratic National Convention last night. (NYT) Check out front page news coverage of the event from around the country. (Newseum via Slate) If you don’t have time to watch a 30+ minute speech, maybe you’ll have to time to “watch” it though the power of gifs? (Atlantic Wire) This morning August […]
Despite always playing second fiddle to Carman’s “fun” dorm reputation, the denizens of John Jay are hip party-cats in their own right, and as such, have created numerous nicknames for the single-ridden dorm. As an homage to this spirit of creativity, and in anticipation of your first official Thursday night out, here are 7 drinks […]
