Attn: Ivy Leagues: This is what ** some •• college students do on a Friday evening.

My grandmother was a member of the charter class of Delta Delta Delta at Cornell. Here she is with some Tri Delt sisters (lower left) in 1912, pregaming.

Passing through Glen Campbell, PA.

My commute home looks like this today.

I'm no Kelly C (ha), but my microscopic amount of celebrity has taught me: Sometimes people don't recognize you and are rude because they're just dicks. Sometimes people DO recognize you and are rude because they're dicks. But when you punch down, regardless of the justification, you're the dick.

On my morning walk I stopped briefly to marvel at a small snail as it caught a free glide across damp pavement

This seems to be a very good week for women surviving

In a drug store and I just passed by a busy mom with four young kids. A brother bumped his sister and the mother said to him: I TOLD YOU TO KEEP YOUR BODY TO YOURSELF! I hope she follows him to college

One solution? Dismantle the cynical relationship between residential fraternities and sororities and colleges

As fallout from the Cornell story continues, do you want to hear some history about the rape-on-campus/false-accusation panic from someone who was starting college as it took shape? Because this isn’t new, and it’s going to get ugly

This week: I defy my mother's example and let people witness the runaway goldenrod. These are the ties that bindweed.

And another thing: why don't alumni and donors give a damn ...

Today in Everyone Needs an Editor: Could you send some 11-point Calibri to room 717, please and thanks

Absolutely disgusting. This school, which now costs almost $100,000 per year to attend, should ban all fraternities and sororities. Victims of criminal acts and hazing rituals should sue the school administrators and the national "Greek" organizations that shield criminals on campus.

NO ... I AM THE CODE!

Happy International Boot Day, to all who celebrate. It's that one day in fall when you pull your winter boots out of the closet. Also ,,, BIG news for cats. And reader responses to what favorite film they would choose to remake.

My terrier is outstanding in her field

Keep em coming

Donald Trump has killed the Kennedy Center, one of this country's most important arts venues. Home to so many great performances and indelible memories for three generations of my family -- and millions of audience members and performers. I didn't think I could hate him any more. And yet ...

Bob Mackie and Cher had a spectacular partnership

At least I paid for my own wedding

Who wore it better

Burnett explained that while the sketch was brilliantly written, it called for "Starlett" to "come down the stairs with the curtains just hanging" on her. Mackie, thinking the visual element could be funnier, "came up with the idea of making the dress with the curtain rod. I fell on the floor."

“I saw it in the window and I couldn’t resist it.” RIP Bob Mackie

I had 22 million daily readers. I once tangled with Barbara Walters on The View. Now I'm wearing a hot dog costume and harassing toddlers

When you own a vintage car, you also need to make friends with a tow truck operator. My 1967 Morris Minor is headed to town for a spiff-up

George Noble told William Cohan that he thinks the current A.I. mania and rash of inflated technology stocks could foment a crisis “far worse” than the dot-com bubble of a generation ago.“ puck.news/george-noble...

Within a few minutes at a lunch in Malibu I was treated to a number of very unflattering Natalie Portman anecdotes. And my trip across the country to California just paid for itself.

Dolly Parton .... such a hero and lifesaver and icon. And a fantastic authentic musical talent and performer who spread JOY. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Fired for DOING HER JOB.

A lone kayak traverses the ChIcago River. Chicago is at its most shimmery in the summertime.

"Under MTA rules, dogs are allowed on the NYC subway only if they are fully enclosed in a container or bag and carried in a way that does not annoy other passengers." 😂

This Halloween ... I wonder how many little kids are going to go as Natalie Harp

Yikes

I just learned that Nancy Kissinger was still alive ... until very recently.

In ten years no one will know what "polite company" is

Please ... nobody tell me where truck stop hard boiled eggs come from (aside from hens) - because I LOVE them. I could live on these and pouch pickles. I need nothing more. (Well, maybe a nutritionist...)
