Indiana University cuts IDS print entirely, hours after firing student media director
By IDS staff
Oct 15, 2025 1:23 pm · Updated Oct 15, 2025 1:23 pm

IU previously directed the Indiana Daily Student to stop printing news coverage in our newspaper. Upon pushback, the university fully cut print, including our special editions. The IDS was not involved in the decision.

Media School Dean David Tolchinsky sent the order to IDS leadership in an email responding to its appeal that the school not censor the newspaper. And the dean attributed the decision to “the campus.” He has not yet responded to a message for clarification.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Seattle’s slider strategy.

Mike Petriello @mikepetriello.bsky.social · 4d

Seattle pitching through 9. I've never seen anything like this.

Highest slider rate (sweepers inc.) in a postseason game since 2008: Seattle in 2022, ALWC g2, 50%

Seattle tonight: 63%

Per source, NFL replay assist did not see a view that showed #Vikings kicker Will Reichard's fourth-quarter field goal hitting a wire. His 51-yard miss went wide right with 9:46 left in the game.
