Students at the University of Washington have reported an increase in sightings of the “Tiger King” on campus recently. Researchers from the Department of Criminal Zoology have speculated that the reason for the increase in appearances is due to the recent “False Spring” stretches of sunshine in Seattle, which brings out tiger prey such as mice and meerkats.
Read MoreHave you ever been unable to get out of bed in the morning due to the crushing weight of existence? Does nothing truly make you happy anymore? Do you crank it to Zootopia futanari at 3:00 A.M just to feel the briefest of dopamine releases? We’ve all been there before, but according to the UW Counselling Center, there may be a solution. Stop taking your antidepressants, stop going to therapy, and instead drink until your brain stops telling you to be sad.
Read MoreA new trend is developing at the University of Washington where students seeking jobs at internship and career fairs are stripping naked and running from booth to booth in the hopes that their act of nudity and public display will set them apart from other candidates.
Read MoreWith the cherry blossom trees on campus officially in bloom, the University of Washington has begun its busiest season for tourism. The unending sea of tourists poses many problems for both students and administrators, who struggle to attend classes and meetings on time with so many major pathways blocked.
Read MoreLast week, news broke of the Seattle Seahawks releasing Tyler Lockett into free agency. Millions of tissue boxes were emptied in every Seattle household that day. It’s an issue for our eco-forward marketing as a city. More notably, though, we are losing an icon from the days of the Legion of Boom (trademarked) who still posts incredible statistics despite his…er, experienced age. Who else can pull together 7 touchdowns after having surgery for 12 pins in his hand? Who shall honorably and graciously carry the team in the locker room now? Who will balance out Metca—turns out we lost the right to type out his full name since his selfish ass decided to declare his will for the streets on the same day as Lockett’s announcement. Metca---, if you’re reading this, please come home. The kids miss you.
Read MoreThe avian flu (or bird flu as it is more commonly known) has been rapidly spreading in the United States, causing a nationwide shortage of America’s favorite quick breakfast. Egg prices have been on the rise as a result, drying out the pockets of college students in the U-District. While many have given up on eggs, one young entrepreneur at the University of Washington had a different idea to combat the rising prices.
Read MoreFollowing the most recent California wildfires to ravage major population centers throughout the state, the newly inaugurated Trump administration has made widespread commitments to put a stop to the inconceivable destruction. Having learned from the similarly terrible fires in 2020, Trump signed an executive order to deport the wildfires from California forcibly.
Read MoreFrom Al Gore to Bill Nye, scientists have been concerned by rising sea levels for decades. Since 1880, ocean levels have risen by about nine inches due to melting ice caps in the North and South poles. This is a huge problem aside from rising sea levels, as frozen water is known to hold bacterias and diseases that humans have never been exposed to before.
Read MoreValentine’s day has come around another year, and you’re still single. It’s not your fault, though. You’ve done everything you can. You talked to that freshman who sits next to you in Psych 210, and she rejected you because “you’re thirty” and “still can’t point out the clitoris after two weeks of vaginal anatomy.” You asked your roommate if they have any single friends, but were met with a chorus of “get out,” “I’m mid stroke,” and “I thought I locked the door.” While he may have indeed locked the door, your need for love was stronger. Keyword: was.
Read MorePresident Trump’s new anti-DEI initiative aims to root out unqualified workers who were hired under DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs. For the University of Washington, no member of staff fits this description better than the school mascot, Bartholomew J. Dubs II, more commonly known by his alias ‘Dubs’.
Read MoreWith snowfall and cold temperatures hitting Seattle, it’s no surprise that students are upset. Between classes being canceled, not being canceled, busses rerouting, shit being eaten on Red Square, and drafty windows, the UW student body is grumblier than ever. And one demographic is bearing far more than their share of it: landlords.
Read MoreThe University of Washington has reached an agreement with all four of its official strategic corporate partnerships: Alaska Airlines, BECU, PepsiCo, and Starbucks, that will allow the companies to expand their presence on campus. The official reason for the agreement is, quote, “money”.
Read MoreDespite Billy Ray Cyrus’s best efforts on inauguration day, this year was a year of country music. As seen at this weekend’s Grammys, country music has taken over the mainstream. After taking note of the meteoric rise of neotraditional, big-chinned artists like Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan, everybody and their desperately-trying-to-pull-off-a-cowboy-hat mother has been hopping onto the country bandwagon. Post Malone, Yung Gravy, and many more random white men have embraced the power of forced Southern twang and a little bit of banjo. Even the queen mother Lana Del Rey claims to be cooking up a little Nashville-flavored something. The real question is, why have we, the profit-generating masses, gotten so into country music lately? Why are we so eager to stomp our boots and shake our denim-clad behinds to a genre that was a cultural laughing stock just 10 years ago? When you truly interrogate the state of our nation the reason is clear. Our western-tinted Spotify Wrappeds reflect a communal rejection of modernity.
Read MoreWhy are you complaining? It’s been in the low 40s for one (1) week and you’re out here acting like you’re battling the elements with Ernest Shackleton. All the weather has done is merely dip its pinky toe just barely below freezing at 4 in the morning and we all know you’re not even out of bed until 11:21am. My Siberian grandmother is shoveling snow at 0 degrees Fahrenheit and you don’t even have puddles to worry about anymore. You’ve never experienced a thing in your life. You are just desperate to complain and the rest of us do not want to hear it.
Read MoreAt the age of 22, I have a favorite sponge brand. Sometimes, I sniff my bathroom cleaners to see if I’m feeling lemon-y fresh or plain bleach for the week. I salivate over the Dyson vacuums in Macy’s Home Store. I’ll say it: I have been thoroughly domesticated.

Read MoreIn a statement released five days before the start of Winter Quarter, the University of Washington revealed that a new political science professor will be joining their staff.
“It has come to our attention that there is a man in the quad who has been sparking political debate akin to that of the Roman Forum,” said political science department head James D. Long. “We heard this man talking over 19-year olds really fast and we knew we had to hire him.”
Read MoreBy now, most of the UW student body has heard that the HUB took away the student-use microwave in their food court. This has in turn sparked outrage, ranging from instagram stories to reddit posts, all griping about no longer being able to heat up hot pockets. And yet, the HUB still isn’t done.
Read MoreEUGENE, Oregon – The Washington Huskies fell to the Oregon Ducks 49-21 on Saturday in their final regular season game of the season. A year after shocking the country with a Sugar Bowl victory and an appearance in the National Championship game, the Huskies had a disappointing season, finishing at a mediocre 6-6. It was not the season first-year head coach Jedd Fisch envisioned when he took the reins in place of the Alabama-bound Kalen DeBoer.
