Gonna open an art gallery but it’s just all of the old fake movie posters from Chuck E. Cheese.

Chuck E. Cheese parody movie posters for INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, BATMAN, BEETLEJUICE, BEVERLY HILLS COP, GONE WITH THE WIND, JAWS, TOOTSIE, THE WIZARD OF OZ and CROCODILE DUNDEE.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

this lady keeps posting about her beetlejuice sweater she got for halloween but it's clearly a freddy kreuger sweater. The stripes are the wrong color, they go the wrong direction. beetlejuice doesn't even wear sweaters. I know that Kant would completely ruin her but what would other philosophers do

I try to explain to friends what it's like living in a far-right small town. Here's our likely next mayor posting on a local McDonald's FB page. On her own page, she's unironically shared AI-generated images--that she truly believed were real--of Trump wading through flood waters to rescue children.

I don't think regular people understand of how bad it is when SCOTUS issues blatantly unconstitutional rulings because of its current pro-Trump, "fuck it" bias. By law, every other state & federal court is bound by Supreme Court precedent, while SCOTUS itself isn't. The law becomes "Trump wins."

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

The President claims that Mr. Nibbles, a giant skeleton, "rules" Portland. But Portland elects Mayors every 4 years by a fair Democratic process. Fact check: Half a pinocchio

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

MIT refuses to accept White House terms for funding, other schools still mulling

Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth on Friday said she "cannot support" a memo that the White House sent to nine elite U.S. universities last week detailing policies they should follow to get preferential consideration for federal funding.

MIT President Sally Kornbluth just issued a statement to the campus community saying NO to Trump’s authoritarian compact

“And fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.”

Dear Madam Secretary,
I write in response to your letter of October 1, inviting MIT to review a "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education." I acknowledge the vital importance of these matters.
I appreciated the chance to meet with you earlier this year to discuss the priorities we share for American higher education.
As we discussed, the Institute's mission of service to the nation directs us to advance knowledge, educate students and bring knowledge to bear on the world's great challenges. We do that in line with a clear set of values, with excellence above all. Some practical examples:
• MIT prides itself on rewarding merit.
Students, faculty and staff succeed here based on the strength of their talent, ideas and hard work. For instance, the Institute
was the first to reinstate the SAT/ACT requirement after the pandemic. And MIT has never had legacy preferences in admissions.

• MIT opens its doors to the most talented students regardless of their family's finances. Admissions are need-blind. Incoming undergraduates whose families earn less than $200,000 a year pay no tuition. Nearly 88% of our last graduating class left MIT with no debt for their education. We make a wealth of free courses and low-cost certificates available
to any American with an internet
connection. Of the undergraduate degrees we award, 94% are in STEM fields. And in service to the nation, we cap enrollment of international undergraduates at roughly
10%.
• We value free expression, as clearly described in the MIT Statement on Freedom of Expression and Academic Freedom. We must hear facts and opinions we don't like - and engage respectfully with those with whom we disagree.

These values and other MIT practices meet or exceed many standards outlined in the document you sent. We freely choose these values because they're right, and we live by them because they support our mission - work of immense value to the prosperity, competitiveness, health and security of the United States. And of course, MIT abides by the law.
The document also includes principles with which we disagree, including those that would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution. And fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific
funding should be based on scientific merit alone.
In our view, America's leadership in science and innovation depends on independent thinking and open competition for excellence. In that tree marketplace of ideas, the people of MIT gladly compete with the very best, without preferences.
Therefore, with respect, we cannot support the proposed approach to addressing the issues facing higher education.

As you know, MIT's record of service to the nation is long and enduring. Eight decades ago, MIT leaders helped invent a scientific partnership between America's research universities and the
U.S. government that has delivered extraordinary benefits for the American people.
We continue to believe in the power of this partnership to serve the nation.
Sincerely,
Sally Kornbluth
CC
Ms. May Mailman
Mr. Vincent Haley

*Back in my day* we required a proper government false flag event, with an elaborately rendered official story slapped over it, in order for us to get panic-herded into an illegal police state escalation. Nowadays they just declare it’s time for fascism without even bothering to do the inside job.

I'm so tired of buzzword and vibe advertising for books. Especially queer horror. I want to know about THE BOOK. I want to get a sense of what I'm potentially going to read, not a bunch of TV tropes links and a "it's like X and Y had an evil baby" blurb.

Lesson from tabletop gaming: your choice is never "get rid of a player" vs "keep a player"; your choice is always "get rid of a player" vs "get rid of every other player that player will drive away"
