On my flight back to Boston from Hong Kong, I watched “Comrades: Almost a Love Story” (1996), a Hong Kong film directed by Peter Chan and starring Leon Lai and Maggie Cheung — the perfect ending to my summer. The bittersweet emotions this romantic melodrama evoked quickly earned it a place at the top of my list of Hong Kong classics, despite its poorly translated English title. The original Chinese name, “Tian Mi Mi,” literally means “Sweet Honey,” a far better description of the film’s tender yet heartbreaking tone.

Tufts Public Safety to offer civilian response training for active shooter scenarios: Your Tufts Daily Briefing

In 2024, the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawerence was handed one of the most lucrative contracts in NFL history at the time: five years and $275 million. Yet, one year after inking the deal, both the Jaguars’ head coach and general manager were fired following the 2024–25 season. It turns out that giving your 25-year-old quarterback — who has only had one year of above-average play — a record-breaking contract while he’s coming off a season in which his passer rating dipped by seven points leaves your team with one of the worst records in the league and a quarterback still in decline. So naturally, the question arises: Does Lawerence deserve his contract? The answer is yes — but only if you can’t find a better or cheaper equivalent.

In its 111 years, the Somerville Theatre has seen quite a lot: two pandemics, two world wars and the likes of Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Tracy Chapman. Through it all, it has continued to bring joy to moviegoers and filmmakers alike.

Comedy isn’t always easy to laugh about these days.

A new cinematic canon may very well be emerging. Films like “One Battle After Another,” “Civil War” and “Eddington” have all painted unique yet not dissimilar portraits of a discordant, extremism-prone America — a vision that seems increasingly resonant under Donald Trump’s second term. Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Bugonia,” a paranoid pressure cooker of a thriller that’s as weird as any of the Greek director’s previous works, is yet another film that shares this vision.

In September, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, responsible for Boston’s public transit network, announced they would be cracking down on fare evasion — the practice of traveling on public transit without paying. This move comes after the MBTA has already lost tens of millions of dollars from unpaid fares. According to a 2021 MBTA analysis, the system lost between $5 million and $6 million in annual revenue from unpaid fares on subways, trolleys and buses. Including the commuter rail, the MBTA lost an additional $10–20 million each year. When an NBC investigative team scoped out several Green Line stations near Boston University, they found that almost every passenger boarded the train without paying.

There’s much splendor surrounding graduation: the glitz and glamor of the senior gala, the intimate community bonding at the baccalaureate and, of course, the proud walk across the stage to receive one’s hard-earned diploma. Fifth-year students at Tufts have the opportunity to attend most of these events alongside their classmates. Unlike their peers, however, they also carry the knowledge that they will return to campus next year, while most of their friends enter a new stage of life.

After spending our first night with a family member in Las Vegas, my mom and I hit the first destination on our road trip: the Grand Canyon. A bucket-list item for both of us, we decided to make the most of the drive. Along the way we stopped at cool sites such as the Glen Canyon Dam and Wahweap (where I even got to touch the Colorado River!). But by far the standout of these stops was Upper Antelope Canyon.

Ever since President Donald Trump was voted into office in 2016 — and arguably even before that — Democrats have scrambled to regain their voter base. We saw these efforts succeed in former President Joe Biden’s 2020 election but then falter in former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 loss. In the midst of defeats among Democrats that followed, a politician by the name of Zohran Mamdani drew sudden attention.

I remember little from my early years in central London, though the city still feels like an echo of home. I was 4 years old when we left, and my childhood memories exist mostly as fragments: my favorite park, the hum of traffic and a toy monkey. This monkey was about the size of a small bag of potatoes, poorly stuffed with uneven stitching, and it was my favorite thing in the entire world. I would sleep with it; I would eat with it. I was devoted to this humble lump of fabric and, as far as I was concerned, it was under my protection. We all remember our childhood object of affection, fiercely defended with disproportionate love. To protect something fragile simply because it cannot protect itself — this is, in retrospect, our first expression of selflessness and empathy, an instinct we too often unlearn as we grow and mistake detachment for maturity.
