By Antonio Machado Multimedia Editor Marcus Falc ão / THE GATEPOST The GRAMMYS are a collection of some of the world’s brightest, most talented artists, and while the focus of the night is typically on their performances on stage, their performances on the red carpet are where their creativity can really shine. Sabrina Carpenter Up for six awards on her seventh album, the pop princess decided to show out and guarantee herself the best dressed award for the night. Beaded flow

By Antonio Machado Multimedia Editor Marcus Falc ão / THE GATEPOST Every year, hundreds of artists gather together to witness tears, political advocacy, terrible speeches, terrible performances, and absolute world-shattering performances on music’s self-proclaimed biggest night, The GRAMMYS. The 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards were no different. The show opened with a jumpscare - Bruno Mars and ROSÉ immediately took the stage to perform their hit song “APT.” Trevor Noah took the

By Izayah Morgan Opnions Editor Black History Month turns 100 years old this year, the term being coined by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the second Black person to get a Ph.D. from Harvard. Often, I find the only time Black history is showcased is when it is highlighted that we were previously in chains or when it's “our” history month.  Oftentimes ignored, except for the beginning of the month or highlighting only the tragic points in Black history, our history is confined to a po

Marcus Falc ão / THE GATEPOST By Francisco Omar Fernandez Rodriguez Arts & Features Editor When I heard that a new “Hyrule Warriors” game was being made, I was really excited. I actually love the gameplay in this series, even if it just seems like button mashing at first. “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment” (AOI) is the prequel to “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” (TOTK). It is not to be confused with “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity” (AOC), the non-canon spi

By Dylan Pichnarcik Associate Editor Dylan Pichnarcik / THE GATEPOST Walking across Framingham State’s historic campus and seeing the large brickstone buildings of May, Peirce, Horace Mann, and Crocker halls can invoke the question for passersby: if these walls could talk, what would they say? One librarian, Colleen Previte of the Henry Whittemore Library, is giving FSU its voice and preserving its longstanding history as the birthplace of public education with every periodi

Sarah Daponde Asst. Arts & Features Editor Gatepost Archives The Christa McAuliffe Center hosted “The Challenger Disaster and its Historical Context” on Feb. 4 over Zoom. This was the second event in the three-part Challenger series honoring the 40th anniversary of the accident.

Adrien Gobin / THE GATEPOST By Bella Grimaldi News Editor Framingham State called two snow days this week, canceling classes and shutting down campus on Monday, Jan. 26, and Tuesday, Jan. 27. Students were notified on Friday, Jan. 23, by FSU Alert of the Monday snow day. The Tuesday cancellation alert was sent to the FSU community on Monday evening.

For students who have grown up in the New England area, heavy snow falls and snow days are not unfamiliar experiences.  However, 18.5 inches of snow can make life on a college campus very challenging.  On a college campus, a snowstorm comes with many issues for students to consider, including where to park, when to go eat, class and activity cancellations, safety walking around campus, and whether they remembered to pack a snow brush.  Essential personnel work incredibly hard

Marcus Falc ão / THE GATEPOST ‘Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye)’ By Sophia Oppedisano  Editor-in-Chief I am just as shocked as you are that one of my top albums of 2025 was Tucker Pillsbury’s deluxe edition of his sophomore album, “Kansas Anymore.”  If you know me, my name and Pillsbury’s - who goes by his stage name Role Model - wouldn’t have been caught dead in the same sentence after his rap-influenced debut album “Rx” released in 2022.  But hear me out! “Kansas Anymor

By Alexis Schlesinger Editorial Staff “Film and Gender? More like lame and stupid.” On Dec. 6, 2025, a “callout” video was posted to several local musicians’ Instagram pages containing clips of folk artists and punk artists insulting each other.  One folk musician even claimed, “I listened to ‘Maeve’ by Dowsing Rod, and now I have gout.” Fortunately for New England folk-punk fans, nobody was really fighting, and the roast compilation was a promotional video for the show the m

However, he only got his start in law enforcement at the age of 50. He is now 54.  Bef

Marcus Falc ão / THE GATEPOST By Owen Glancy Arts & Features Editor “Owen’s Oldies” has historically been a column dedicated to exposing readers to a new world of cinema, films that are either too obscure or too old for most to have seen, let alone heard of. Across four semesters, that’s what “Owen’s Oldies” has done, quite successfully too. A few people have come up to me saying that they’ve watched films such as “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” or “The Long Goodbye” thanks to “
