Unless you’ve been living under a f*****g rock, you’re probably aware that a once-in-a-century pandemic is unfolding in front of our very eyes. That’s right folks, run to your nearest Costco and stock up on enough toilet paper for the next three years of your life to satisfy your weird anal neuroticism. However, the ways in which this unforeseen catastrophe is affecting the lives of people across the globe are numerous and, quite frankly, sort of weird.

(02/29/20 5:10pm)

Fads may come and go in the fast-moving world of fashion, but the deeply internalized traumas that your style showcase remain the same.

Sometimes, these self-destructive tendencies are brought into sharp relief by choice in footwear.

(02/27/20 3:26am)

For affluent white men who have largely enjoyed a life of privilege while being marginally inconvenienced by their sexuality, Pete Buttigieg’s candidacy in the current Presidential race has represented the shattering of a glass ceiling. Some, however, have raised concerns that Buttigieg’s sexuality may be weaponized against him in the general election. These fears have been magnified in light of the recent scandal now being dubbed GrindrGate.

As more people flock to these undeniably less masculine alternatives, fears are growing that the spread of homosexuality, a blight on the health of the nation, may be impossible to contain.

Outside of Van Pelt, Huntsman, you name it, they’ve been smoking there! There’s nothing quite like being hit with the smell of a freshly lit cigarette as you exit the library fresh from an all-nighter, probably being smoked by someone speaking a language you don’t understand. It could be French, it could be Spanish, who knows! You wonder to yourself, “don’t they know that smoking all of those cigarettes is bad for them?”

(02/16/20 5:00am)

As the second semester continues on into its second month, students trying to get ahead of the curve are already looking for gainful employment next summer. Goldman Sachs may be the gold standard for our friends in finance,  but everyone knows a CIS wizard vying for a spot at one of the companies slowly but surely managing the world’s descent into a Kafkaesque state of constant surveillance. 


OP-ED: Wouldn’t It Have Really Sucked If Jeffrey Epstein Graduated From Penn?

(02/10/20 5:00am)

Jeffrey Epstein, the Wall Street financier at the heart of a pedophilic locus of global wealth and power, did not graduate from Penn. He most definitely did not build his network of power-brokers and connected individuals, all having this shared perversion, within the confines of this institution. Period. But, like, he definitely could have. It’s not like this place doesn’t already have an abundance of morally questionable, wealthy individuals both currently attending and having graduated. 


OP-ED: I Don’t Follow Politics but Andrew Yang Could Venmo Me $1000

(02/03/20 5:00am)

I really could not care less about politics. The court intrigue that so seamlessly describes the banal corruption at the heart of our nation’s body politic is simply too bourgeois and meaningless for my enlightened mind. But hey, that Andrew Yang guy seems pretty cool! Who wouldn’t want a $1000 monthly stipend, leaving our very livelihoods dependent on the whims of a rapacious, self-absorbed state? In fact, if he truly believes in his platform, I challenge Yang to immediately Venmo me $1000.

Report: Funny Friend Actually Just Kinda Mean

(01/24/20 5:00am)

Teddy Blackburn, hopeful comedian and College sophomore, can light up any room, recitation, or GSR with a quick crack of the joke. Any function attended by Blackburn will be left in a rapturous fit of laughter, with many completely unable to return to a reasonable state of civilized discourse. It’s all but certain Teddy will ascend to the status of one of the greatest comedians alive, among other giants like Louis C. — shit, never mind. There’s one issue, though — he’s also kind of a dick.

(11/25/19 7:21am)

You thought you were quirky? Get a load of this guy — Jack Danzinger (W '21)! If you’ve never heard of him before, well that’s fine because he was kind of lame anyway. But, rumor has it he was spotted wearing the alumni scarf during homecoming, stolen directly from the grips of an old musty white man with just a few more racist anecdotes from his time at Penn than anyone feels comfortable hearing.
