Sonder: the feeling one gets upon realizing that every other individual has a life as full and real as one’s own, in which they are the central character and others have secondary or insignificant roles.
The City of Medford announced the launch of a Community Outreach Task Force to enhance communication between city officials and residents.

We’re back, and this time with a bookstore that is only a stone’s throw away from campus. Sharing a name with its neighborhood, our store for this week is Porter Square Books. No matter if you walk, bike, bus or MBTA, the store is less than 30 minutes away.
“What a lovely home I found myself plummeting toward, acquiring, as I fell, arms, hands, legs, feet, all of which, as usual, became more substantial with each passing second.” So begins “Vigil.” Just as we are abruptly dropped into the surreal world of George Saunders’ latest novel, our principal character, Jill Blaine, is dropped onto Earth and into her signature black pumps.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Friday that the Department of Defense would end attendance for active-duty military personnel at 13 universities, including Tufts, due to what he called “wokeness” and “indoctrination.”

Senate launches virtual dorm tours ahead of sophomore housing selection: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
With the World Cup set to take over North America this June, one of the biggest beneficiaries will be Major League Soccer. In this column, I will examine how the league’s rising player quality is helping MLS move beyond its ‘retirement league’ label.
Welcome back to “Serve & Survey.” In honor of midterms season, when Tisch Library is at its fullest and everyone suddenly becomes best friends with their Google Calendar, I wanted to ask about something related to our drive throughout all of this: our futures. Given that Tufts is a very academically rigorous institution, we’re all working hard to pass our classes. But why is there so much pressure? So this week’s question is: If productivity had no impact on your future, would you still try as hard as you do now?
In June 2025, Texas Governor Greg Abbott vetoed a $60 million measure that would have allowed his state to participate in a federal summer lunch program for low-income children. The Summer EBT program would have given families $120 per student to pay for lunches during the summer of 2027, which would have been able to feed an estimated 3.75 million children across Texas.
As a New Yorker, I was raised to believe that our city does everything better. We walk faster (seriously, move over if you’re walking slowly, I’m begging you), talk louder and eat like it’s a competitive sport. There’s food from every corner of the world within a 10-block radius, and somehow, it’s all good. There are corner delis that are still open at midnight and cheap, delicious pizza by the slice that tastes better than it should. From family-run spots to high-end Michelin-starred restaurants, we have it all.

The Tufts Community Union Senate is launching a virtual tour initiative to film sophomore dorms and publish walkthrough videos before the March housing selection, aiming to reduce first-year confusion and increase transparency in the process.
When Baby Keem’s first studio album, “The Melodic Blue,” dropped in September 2021, a future of chart-topping superstardom seemed almost inevitable for the Las Vegas-raised rapper. Similar to the reception of his first hit single, “Orange Soda,” the album’s release was followed by near-universal praise, and for a while it looked as if Keem’s arrival as a mainstay of modern hip-hop had come ahead of schedule. The summer following the release of “The Melodic Blue” saw Keem playing to the world’s biggest crowds — four nights at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, two at London’s O2 Arena and a particularly memorable livestreamed stop in Paris — as a central presence on his cousin Kendrick Lamar’s Big Steppers Tour. He dropped seven fresh tracks as a deluxe album in October of the following year. Then he disappeared.

Engineering and social sciences are widely considered to be separate fields of practice. However, all technology we develop has the capacity to shape the society in which it is applied.
The Tufts Daily was founded in 1980, so an anniversary edition naturally invites a look back at what else was happening in the world at that moment. The 1979–80 NBA season is a great place to start — not just as a historical snapshot, but as a case study in how a league can improve itself.
