Today begins India’s elections, what will be the word’s largest democratic vote.  Democracy is, like, really cool. (NYT) The State Department lost $6b and can’t really say where it went.  Bureaucracy, it makes mistakes. (Gawker) Jeb Bush said in an interview on Fox News yesterday that crossing the border illegally can be “an act of love.”  Some […]

This young couple in Afghanistan is willing to risk it all to be together.

Last month, the Columbia Alumni Association got real cute for Valentine’s Day, soliciting alumni for sweet, beautiful, poignant photographs and stories of their own “Columbia LOVE,” and they’re still taking submissions.

Congress has apparently decided that it won’t be passing serious legislation on privacy for the time being.  Instead, states will be responsible for making sure our search histories deepest darkest secrets aren’t available on the web.  (NYT) THE RED SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES. AGAIN.  (NYT but also do you live under a rock?) At least one […]

We’re sure you’re counting down the hours until Valentine’s Day, but look no further, dear souls. Love is already all around us. The Pentagon gets romantic. (NY Times) Passion soars in Florida. (CBS) Two entities collide. (KTLA) A baby comes out of it all. (Washington Post) S/he grows up in a truly new era. (USA […]

It’s not about what’s inside this Furnald single, but what’s on the trippy whiteboard on the door. That is, a violent mishmash of radicalism, socialism, and Labour.

Chinese students just love American colleges, especially Grinnell. It’s okay though, we’re not jealous. They love Barnard, too! (NYT) It’s hard out here for NYC’s  single, successful women looking for love. There just aren’t enough men to go around! (City Room) Eating more carrots, leafy greens, and other foods high in carotenoids can make others find […]

Columbia is for people who are in love! Bride and groom just kissed outside the Chapel as a bunch of 14-year-olds on skateboards whizzed passed. This is the center of the world!
