They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

Indiana University fires IDS
adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Yes. What Kneecap said. And from today’s Guardian on the topic. Plus, some Palestinian hostages the Israelis said they’d be releasing have instead been deported out of the country.

Israel cannot ever be trusted.
They never stop their cruelty.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

From the Guardian website.

Israel also forbade people from celebrating the release on Monday, firing teargas at family members and journalists waiting near Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank, where detainees were kept. A flyer distributed by the Israeli military warned people that "we are surveilling you everywhere" and threatening that if they supported "terrorist organisations" they could be arrested.
Six different relatives of prisoners all said they had been visited by Israeli security services in recent days.
"They came to warn us not to hold celebrations, not to raise flags or banners, not to gather in the diwan [hall]. These days, the hardest thing is to speak the truth," said a relative of the prisoner Hani al-Zeer, who asked not to be identified by name out of fear of security repercussions. Zeer had been imprisoned for 23 years, and the relative, as well as Zeer's son, had also been imprisoned several times.

From the Guarfuan website.

She waited anxiously as the buses arrived to the drop-off point in Ramallah, waiting for her brother to emerge. When the last man got off the buses with no sign of her brother, she clutched her cheeks and wailed.
Others evidently had been told their loved ones were to be returned home, only to find out at the last minute that they were being deported. "Why are they deporting him?" a woman screamed in tears, as police officers rushed her away from the crowd.
"It would have been easier if they just told us from the beginning. We don't know where he is. Egypt? Gaza? We are devastated," said Raed Imran, as he led Umm Abed to the car where she had been preparing to receive her brother.

Mamoru Oshii planned it. A young Satoshi Kon took the lead on its layouts. The result: a stunning moment from Patlabor 2.

We're looking inside the film's martial law sequence, including storyboards and production art:

I agree. To me Little Caesars is something my family had in the '80s and stopped existing around 1993.

Even without looking at gameplay it’s easy to tell what it’s going for.

Ginkgo leaves are everywhere. Not just on the cover but also in the logo and display props.

Ginkgo trees aren’t native to Hokkaido - colonists brought over much later than the game’s setting of 1603.

Today, The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin opens at AA Gallery in London! Curated by Sarah Shin and Harriet Jennings, the exhibition presents a selection of Ursula's maps, including some that have never been exhibited before.

A photo of the entrance to The Word for World exhibition, with two banners hanging vertically down outside the doorway to a brick building with white-paned windows. A row of bicycles are parked in front. The banners are purple and white and say the name of the exhibition and Ursula K. Le Guin's name.

A cord-wrapped rock rests on a vivid blue background next to a map of and program for The Word for World exhibition.

A stack of copies of The Word for World book, which shows the title in vivid blue against a black cloth cover.
