Indiana University banned its student newspaper from printing just days before homecoming weekend — after firing the paper’s advisor when he refused to censor critical coverage. That would be bad enough on its own, but FIRE is taking this one personally, as the Indiana Daily Student reported this hostile campaign was due in part to its coverage of FIRE’s ranking Indiana University as the worst public university for free speech. You read that right. The school’s response to the news that they are bad at free speech … is to censor the news. It’s ironic — and not just in the Alanis Morissette sense — that these actions will likely push its overall ranking even lower next year. At least we can’t fault them for consistency.

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?

Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

they know grievance is a great motivator

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Also, I love toddlers because I don’t have any. They are these wonderful comical little people whom I get to return to their parents. They do not write think pieces.

Pundits are not:

A) small
B) funny
C) purveyors of popsicle stick jokes

I apologize for slandering toddlers

Any pundit type who posts things like “Ratio me, your anger shows I’m right!” gets a block because they clearly have that toddler brain “any attention is good attention“ issue and, to be clear, I am happily child-free

did you know if you take your clothes out of the dryer as soon as they’re done and fold them right away instead of leaving them for three days that they’re less wrinkled?

Also, calling someone's personal line to complain about them is unhinged. Calling a company's line to complain is normal, expected and entirely within a customer's rights. Anyone who can't understand this is infantile and doesn't need to be in a position of responsibility. Waffles.

tl;dr TOS and user bans are kept squishy and nonspecific to give sites wiggle room to selectively apply the rules (favoring celebrities, for example). The CEO wading in and shrieking that it is THEIR decision! THEIRS! You will not bully them! takes that fig leaf away and gives ownership to the CEO.

It’s becoming clear that one of the issues is that bluesky leadership never wanted to be running just another social media site. They seem to resent being reminded most of us don’t care about their vision of AT proto or decentralization, that we simply wanted bsky to be a better version of twitter.

Hi! We've made the Put This In Your Ear Object. It is the ideal size and shape to put in your ear, feels really nice when you put it in your ear, and can be used to clean out earwax, by putting it in your ear. Just one thing, though. Under NO circumstances should you put this in your ear.
