They don’t want you to know this but you should be a flâneur. You can dawdle in cafes. Linger in libraries. Haunt passers-by. Botanise the sidewalk. Stop to smell the roses. Perambulate parks. Peruse picnics. You can just walk, wander anywhere, please yourself.

Litigation is so fun because I cannot fix your problem, but I can make everybody (including you) suffer a little bit

If God didn't want me to use the em dash, why did he enshrine it in nature? In the horizon line—the lightning-harrowed bough—the canyon's pink striation—the pupil of the goat


I do actually believe this with my full chest

AI will never replace lawyers because only we truly understand that the system is just vibes

You know you're in a pickle when Turkey and Greece agree on... anything

Turkey Challenges Legitimacy Of Lord Elgin's Permission To Take Parthenon Marbles “We are not aware of any document legitimizing this purchase,” said Zeynep Boz, who heads the Turkish Culture Ministry’s department for combating trafficking antiquities greekcitytimes.com/2024/06/04/tur…



"Antiquity for Carson is primarily an aesthetic object, not the focus of scholarly investigation... The experience of painful desire, has been the same for all people in all times and places—and it also always had something essential to do with writing and with art in general."

BREAKING: Former President Donald Trump found GUILTY on 34 felony counts for falsification of business records in the first degree.



Oh no! Yet another school James Ho is boycotting! He may soon have to (*gasp*) hire public school clerks, the horror!

I cannot think of a funnier way to punish the most left-wing Columbia grads for protesting Israel than by blacklisting their most right-wing classmates from the jobs they most want.

In collaboration with @NYMag, @ColumbiaSpec created the magazine’s new cover package, providing an intimate look at the crisis on the ground at Columbia University that has gripped the nation. Writing and photography was done entirely by our staff. 🔗: nymag.com/intelligencer/…

I have gotten a few questions about how to donate to student journalism outlets without supporting Columbia itself. @ColumbiaSpec is an independent nonprofit with zero financial ties to the university, if you want to kick them some money. specpublishing.com/donate-1

Co-sign this. Appreciate the student reporting especially when most journalists are barred from campus. Proud to be associated with @columbiajourn and awed by @ColumbiaSpec and @WKCRFM

I stand with the student journalists trying to do their work under impossible conditions. Keep telling the truth as professionally and fiercely as you can. It’s you versus the world right now.



Cannot convey enough how proud I am of these student journalists.

NYPD forced out @ColumbiaSpec reporters in front of Hamilton and locked the doors to John Jay Hall—where all of our stuff was, including my wallet and driver’s license—to prevent us from re-entering the building. One officer told us: “It’s the gate, or it’s arrest—you choose.”

the student reporters at WKCR asking “who is going to document this if we don’t stay?” is so…gosh. this is so brave of them. Ian, McKenna, Leon, Georgia, everyone else: you all have my whole heart. stay safe, young journalists.
