Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.

Just got home. Showed my college students McQueen’s LOVERS ROCK tonight. First time seeing it since SINNERS and there’s some overlap. One of my bright students brought that up.

40 years ago today on October 14, 1985:

"Cloudbusting" by Kate Bush was released as the second single from her fifth studio album, 'Hounds of Love' (1985).

I am not familiar with this show, beyond this clip. This response, “That is such bullshit,” I would love to see more of this when pols are interviewed. Respect to the person doing this interview. Pinning them down, making them stay on subject, not accepting mischaracterization as nuance, we need it.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

As another Jewish woman in the industry, I can clear this up: It's due to her being an asshole.

Wait, really? I'm honestly super shocked. Bass and supervisors have talked a lot of hot air on this topic, including defending LAPD amidst the ask of feds leaving us alone. But if we're looking countywide, yeah. The effects are undeniable.

Of all the pieces Mike Johnson hasn't seen, the Politico Young Republican Nazis piece he will have not seen the hardest.

Censoring social media? Well I declare I thought the administration stood for free speech.

Resisting arrest has long been used as a “cover charge” by police (in Chicago and elsewhere) after they use force against someone, as I reported back in 2018: www.chicagoreporter.com/chicago-poli...

there's an entire generation that doesn't get the "I feel like chicken tonight" joke from The Simpsons.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

i had a client once who was arrested because the cop insisted his signature was a fake signature. he watched the guy sign the summons and insisted he was ... faking a signature?

Look I know everyone has a lot going on, but the North American premiere of our documentary 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR that I wrote/is based on my book of the same name is having its North American premiere at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival on 17 October! brooklynhorror2025.eventive.org/films/68b9bd...

JUST GONNA ASSUME IM NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO BE SHOCKED
