A few weeks ago, I was doomscrolling Instagram and came across a Wall Street Journal post titled “Mamdani Is Promising a Cheaper New York. But Can He Afford to Pay for It?” When I opened the comments, I was disappointed but not surprised to see that the first comment said: “media propaganda is out in full force against him,” followed by over 1200 likes.
On Oct. 14, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a video on Truth Social of a deadly strike placed on a boat off the coast of Venezuela. With a highly active social media presence, Trump is known for his frequent communication with the public via sites like X and Truth Social. However, posting videos of a lethal mission is a new development and is indicative of a larger trend towards violence under the Trump administration.
Let me ask you a question. Can you remember the last meal you ate: the texture of the food, the way it tasted as it slid across your tongue, the way it made your body feel? Or, were you doing an assignment, scrolling on TikTok or engaging in any countless other distractions while eating mindlessly, with no real thought of the food in front of you? If, as I suspect, you answered yes to the latter set of questions, I am not going to chastise you. In fact, I am literally multitasking right now, munching on a mozzarella and tomato sandwich from the Commons Marketplace while writing this article. Sometimes our schedules get too busy, and it honestly feels like we don’t have a choice.
For the first time since 2019, Tufts women’s soccer clinched the top seed in the NESCAC tournament in their final regular season game on Oct. 28 against Bowdoin. Senior forward Elsi Aires and junior midfielder Reese Birch shared two goals apiece, alongside junior forward Waverly Sumner who tacked on one goal and one assist. Tufts will host the No. 8 seed, Colby, on Bello Field on Saturday at 4 p.m.
It’s fitting that the last lyric of Bad Bunny’s record-breaking 2025 album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” is “¡Viva!” — or in English, “Long live!” It’s the resounding final exclamation of “LA MuDANZA,” a track that begins as an intimate ballad — a retelling of the tender love story from global superstar Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio of his parents — and then, in a heartbeat, erupts into a raucous, full-throated anthem. Piano, bass, congas, bongos and horns collide, igniting a sound that, as with the 16 tracks before it, channels the soul of Puerto Rico and its people.
Almost exactly 50 years ago, Bob Dylan embarked on the first leg of his now-famous Rolling Thunder Revue tour. What commenced was perhaps the most thrilling live collection of songs Dylan would ever produce. The autumn leg of this tour, spanning the northeastern United States and Canada, became forever immortalized through the live album released in 2002, which featured 22 performances from the first leg of the tour. The album serves as a testament to Dylan’s decades-long commitment to reinventing himself and his material and stands alone as a pinnacle of both Dylan’s career and rock music at large.

With awards season approaching, Netflix’s limited series “Adolescence” has gained significant traction from both the public and acclaimed critics, having already had immense success and historical wins at the Emmys last month. Much of the show’s attention surrounds its subject matter, tackling rising issues such as toxic masculinity and the online radicalization of young men, both of which have been plaguing the internet in recent years. The resurgence of these topics via the show has sparked discussions among netizens and students alike, and provided a stark reflection of how social media continuously impacts our generation.
Tufts field hockey faced off against Amherst on Saturday in their first game of the NESCAC tournament: the quarterfinal. The Jumbos had already defeated the Mammoths 3–1 in October, setting the stage for another tight battle between the two teams. Tufts entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed, with an impressive 10-game winning streak and a 13–2 record that topped the conference. Amherst was the No. 8 seed with an 8–7 record before last weekend’s matchup.
Welcome to the seventh installment of “Dissertation Diaries.” We will be highlighting Bridget Moynihan, a final-year Ph.D. candidate researching offshore wind energy engineering at Tufts University.

The Roberts Studio Theatre feels like an underground rock club. The stage is set minimally, with panels of graffiti, black boxes, a piano and other musical instruments lit by hazy, colorful lights. The audience is still murmuring when the three characters that make up the cast of “Lizard Boy” casually walk onstage to tune their various instruments. It’s as if a concert is about to start, rather than a musical. The opening display is very intentionally alternative. “Lizard Boy” is a story about an outsider, and the show itself is situated on the boundaries between sci-fi and myth, and between the quirky and the cliché.
A new Srebrenica massacre is now upon the world, and much like the U.N.’s inaction then, the international community’s continued apathy will now allow for yet another mass slaughter in Sudan.
We all make mistakes. Whether it be hitting your 5-year-old brother in the face with a pitch or smashing your side-view mirror into your friend’s mailbox, sometimes, we just mess up. (Don’t ask me where I came up with those examples.)

The Jumbos entered the match at No. 4 in the NESCAC rankings. They handed Wesleyan, ranked No. 1 in the NESCAC, its only conference loss of the season.
Medford Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn vetoed an ordinance on Oct. 9 that would have required the city to divest from entities operating contrary to human rights standards, a move that disappointed proponents of the measure.
