By Madeline Perez Inside of me, there are two wolves. One is very passionate about movies and film analysis and wants to talk about it. The other doesn’t want to come off as a pretentious asshole. Every day they have epic battles in which there is no winner and they will go on fighting, forever and ever, until the end of time. Like the conflict in the Middle East, this battle between my two selves…
How to speedrun life
By Matt Gagliano This article is about how to speedrun life…and time! Hell yeah, that’s a new personal best: 3 seconds on my “writing an introduction for a Binghamton Review article” speedrun. As you can probably tell, I’ve been getting into speedruns lately. While I’m not good enough to actually speedrun any games myself, I still find it very entertaining to watch others effortlessly fly through a game in ways that don’t even seem possible.…
Cowardly Cuomo’s Capitulations & Closed Conferences

A few of the things the FDA has banned include Haggis, flavored e-cigarettes, unpasteurized cheese, various colorant chemicals, oil of saffron, and tonka extract, citing their potential for harmful effects to the body as cause for their bans. However, I’m not writing an article to argue about how wonderful Haggis is and how…
Parting Advice
By Jake Schweitzer Frankly, I can not believe that four years have passed since I began my education at Binghamton University. To me, it doesn’t seem real; I still remember waking up and being packed into my parents’ car, before being driven four hours across the state while the sky was still kissed pink-rose, thinking it was just another day before high school. The anxiety and, to a lesser extent, homesickness, really hit me a…
An Ethical Oversight: A response to Pipe Dream and Binghamton Review
Jonny Fast On April 12th, Pipe Dream published an article titled Banning gender-affirming care is unscientific, abhorrent, discussing a recent wave of legislation banning certain gender dysphoria treatments for minors. As a disclaimer, I am not against the existence of trans people, but I believe that minors below the age of 18 should not be able to make a decision that can have dire consequences on their lives. The article was, in my personal opinion,…
