On Oct. 3, Cinemapolis, Ithaca’s local independent movie theater, hosted Free Movie Day, a celebration of their 40th anniversary where locals could come see movies all day for free. The event was sponsored by local businesses True Insurance and The Cat’s Pajamas. When I arrived at the theater, I was greeted with a bustling atmosphere of music and conversation. The actual building was filled with art and posters, much more lively than the corporate franchise theaters that I have been to, which largely feel sterile and robotic.
For many of my fellow horror fanatics, the name Dead Meat is synonymous with the genre itself. The YouTube channel, owned and operated by the power couple of James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca, launched in 2017 with the first episode of The Kill Count, a series that sets out to “tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies.” However, this mantra has since grown to include “and show you how they were made” to reflect the brand’s evolving commitment to fostering an appreciation for both horror media and the filmmaking behind it.

In light of the lawsuit regarding the alleged gang rape of Jane Doe back in October 2024, many students have returned to Sidechat in order to discuss the media’s response. From an anonymous account on Sidechat, I asked Cornell users why so many of us have flocked there during this time of crisis at our school. In response, I received a minorly unhelpful 46 upvotes and one affirming comment about Sidechat’s streamlined and student-only nature. However, a major aspect that attracts students to Sidechat was not mentioned: anonymity. Last spring, The Sun ran a piece questioning the ethics of Sidechat and its complicity in campus hate speech, specifically because anonymity makes it hard to hold people accountable. Call it power or cowardice, this facelessness awards students the ability to voice their thoughts without fear of real retribution, making Sidechat one of the most honest places on campus.

Although fall has finally arrived on campus, many of us are mourning summer. We unfortunately have to wait several months before returning to blue skies, sunshine and a lack of weekly readings. However, we can mentally turn back the calendar by diving into the genre of yacht rock! Existing between the styles of soft rock, smooth jazz and a little bit of soul, yacht rock evokes memories of summer love and joy. This playlist covers many essential yacht rock tunes and some personal favorites, so give it a listen and let the (sonic) waves roll over you.
