By Tommy Gagliano On June 7th, 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Representative for New York’s 14th congressional district, expressed an opinion about birth control in the form of a tweet. “Psst!” she tweeted, following it with a shouting emoji, “Birth control should be over-the-counter, pass it on.” The tweet garnered over 77 thousand retweets, and over 335 thousand likes. While her follow up tweet that “It should be free, too – like in the UK!” may be…
Shat: America’s Horniest Musical Masterpiece
By Ben Dover It’s February, and with Valentine’s Day quickly approaching you decided to head to the Binghamton Review Sex Issue for all the tips and tricks to make it memorable for you and that special someone. Good choice, because who better to get advice from than the best student-run newspaper on campus? So you’re with your partner and you’ve successfully given your roommate the boot. Nice job. Things start happening, yada yada yada, and…
VOLCEL
By Musclini *Warning: Guys Only Past This Point* I, the great Musclini, despite having a perfect immune system, have fallen ill. Because of this, my typical 300 IQ takes have been reduced to about 150, and my masterful creative writing style has been reduced to that of a mere English professor. But alas, I cannot sit here and be silent while Binghamton Review releases an issue promoting mental disease and impurity, so here we go.…
No E-Girls
By Joe Badalamenti While I usually don’t write about cultural issues, for the sake of the “sex issue” I’ve decided to make an exception. When looking back on the last year since the previous sex issue you could see that there’s much to talk about, from debate about banning porn to recent scandalous Super Bowl performances. However there was one thing that stuck out to me recently, and that’s e-girls. Yeah that’s right, the rest…
THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK CAN ADD SIX INCHES! READ HERE!
By Harold Rook It’s Valentine’s Day everyone, and that means that there is love in the air! It’s the time of the year where couples get cute gifts for each other, ceremoniously demonstrating their commitment to one another. Ah, such a beautiful time…for couples. But for the remainder of us, it’s an exasperating, almost obnoxious reminder that we are single, meaning another normal day with extra hearts and roses. For the lucky guy or gal…
The Great Debate
By Madeline Perez In this life, there are some truths too complex to comprehend. A deeper understanding is required, yet humanity is comprised of a bunch of whiny stupid babies failing to grasp the object permanence of reality. When objective proof fails us we are left to put the pieces together ourselves – then forge our own beliefs like iron from steel. Is God real? Can drinking pee be beneficial? Is it possible to find…
Response to Frances Beal Society’s Response to Tom Reed & Harvey Stenger
Dear Frances Beal Society, I made a great sacrifice in writing this. Not only because it means forfeiting my sexy article for Binghamton Review’s Valentine’s Day issue, but because it means I have to stoop to your level and engage in a discussion I shouldn’t have to have. I must set the record straight for the 10th time, knowing full-well the facts will get glossed over in place of emotional self-victimization. I write to tell…
Valentine’s Day is a Scam
By Matt Gagliano It’s that time of the year again. No, unfortunately I am not referring to Christmas. It’s February, which means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner: A day full of love, flowers, and dinner dates at extremely overpriced restaurants. People all around the world celebrate Valentine’s Day by expressing their love for their significant other (or others, if you’re into that), and honestly, I hate it. No, not because I’m a bitter,…
Response to Pipe Dream & Frances Beal Society’s Absurd Accusations
By Binghamton Review E-Board On February 3rd, 2020, Binghamton University’s Frances Beal Society posted audio clips on Instagram and Twitter, claiming that the clips contained dialogue from TPUSA members and Binghamton Review writers. On February 6th, 2020, Pipe Dream released two articles about the leaked clips – one posing as an “objective” news piece, and the other an editorial from Pipe Dream’s Editorial Board. The audio clips and claims from Frances Beal Society are laughably…
COPPAs and Sobbers: YouTube’s Looming Doomsday
By Patrick McAuliffe Binghamton Review’s YouTube channel is on the cusp of 100 subscribers. It may not seem like much, but for the work that the staff has put into it, especially over this past semester, this is a huge milestone. I couldn’t be more proud of everyone’s efforts, but such a first step only means that we are entering a much larger world with many more pitfalls to doom our online platform. Specifically, new…
FUCK LIBERTARIANISM
By Musclini What’s up guys, it’s Musclini. I’ve been asked by the boss, the fans, and my conscience to have a quick, half page go off moment. So without further ado, let’s talk about libertarians. As a former libertarian, I don’t blame you for being less mentally developed than me, so I just want to lay down my thought process on transitioning from a cringe libertarian to an epic traditionalist. First, libertarians are, at best,…
Defamation & Prejudice: A Reflection on 2019
By Spencer Haynes As I have reflected on the political tumult of the past year, certain quotes, and newspaper articles have stuck out to me, helping me understand how certain biases and attitudes came to fruition this fall. I would first like to discuss Pipe Dream, and their bias against the College Republicans. To expose this bias, I will compare articles from the past year covering very similar events. The first covers the Republican/Turning Point…
The California Crisis
By Joe Badalamenti When one thinks of California, they will most likely picture several specific things. Perhaps they will think of Hollywood, inhabited by many wealthy actors, or maybe they’ll think of Silicon Valley, and the prosperity achieved by innovation of digital technology. However, this is a very general view which ignores many important details, such as the decay of cities through issues such as the housing and homelessness crisis. While these problems do exist…
World War I Remastered: The Iranian Edition
By Harold Rook Attention, ladies and gentlemen, pack your emergency MREs and head straight to your local fallout shelter, because World War III is here! Haven’t you heard? Tensions between the United States and Iran are at an all-time high, with President Trump giving the go-ahead for the assassination of Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. With the death of this modern-day Archduke Franz Ferdinand, a global war is sure to come, and soon enough we’ll…
