This week, Bwog’s resident stargazer Zach Kagan discovers that when you stare into a black hole, it stares back into you. While Columbians have been bogged down with hurricanes, blizzards and midterms, NASA’s plucky NuSTAR X-ray telescope has been enjoying […]
It’s that time of the week when you’re busy with work and are looking for something to distract yourself—oh wait, that’s almost every day.

(MedGadget) Madonna being […]

All of the resolutions, statements, and petitions call on […]

A tipster overheard the following in Lerner: “Most people don’t know this about me, but I’m really fucking intellectual.” Which probably means: “I definitely think most people think I’m intellectual, but I’m trying to sound humble by pretending I don’t and putting a ‘fucking’ in there.” It’s the essence of every college or job application […]
