Late last night, four people were shot outside a local business in Minneapolis, prompting some to question when the recurring nightmare of recent shootings would be over. (Wall Street Journal) The man behind the inflammatory anti-Muslim video that caused so much recent strife has been arrested, but not because of the film. Or at least, nobody […]

Someone left their shoes by the newspaper thing in Lerner on Monday. The authorities describe the person as “having his/her feet on the wrong feet.”

Know what you’re going to be for Halloween? Neither do we. With three days to go, it’s time to give in and get serious—you’re not going to buck gender normativity this year, pal.

Bwog has been informed that the above treasure is the first thing that greets your eyes when you enter the EC lobby. Professor-in-residence Harrist discovered it on his deck.

The worst part of not having a yacht used to be not being able to wear Sperrys.  But thankfully things have changed:  This fall, those soft leather little loafers are appropriate for everyone. So go wild! Go on a Sperrys spree!  And it’s not just about the traditional brown either.  Hanging out on College Walk, […]

There’s nothing Columbia students love more than an event they can’t get into.  This week’s Obama/McCain event, PrezBo’s  periodic fireside chats, and the Heights on just about any Thursday night all come to mind.  Fall Fashion Week is about as exclusive as it gets, and that the week’s runway shows and collections have largely gone […]
