Jake Wilson elected Somerville mayor, three ballot measures pass on Election Night: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
Responsible for nearly 10 million deaths worldwide in 2020, cancer consistently ranks among the leading causes of death each year. Brought on by genetic mutations and external risk factors, cancer is characterized by the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells. These mutated genes often encode for proteins responsible for regulating cell growth and cell death. When these processes are dysregulated, normal cells begin to proliferate uncontrollably and become cancerous.
The most unfortunate thing about “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” is that the film, fundamentally, does everything right. The plot is trackable, director Scott Cooper doesn’t make any jaw-dropping choices and stars Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong turn in strong performances as the titular rock star and his manager, respectively.
Officially a week into the college hoops season, the storylines are already rolling in. As usual, there weren’t many ranked matchups, but the ones we did have offered good insight into the year ahead. Let’s take a look at three early storylines.

“MEN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND!” screamed my housemate, after we finished watching “The Substance” (2024) — the exact same reaction I had after seeing “Sunset Boulevard” (1950) for the first time last Saturday at the Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square.
Candidates backed by Our Revolution Medford won a decisive victory in City Council and School Committee races over an independent group on Nov. 4, extending their progressive vision for another two-year term.
For pastry chefs Richard Akers-Barrows and Maura Kilpatrick, baking is about imagination.
Tufts’ graduation requirements are a behemoth. Without previous credit or double-counting courses, they make up about half of the classes students take at Tufts. This means Tufts has some of the most extensive requirements among peer institutions, with more courses needed than schools like Wesleyan and Northeastern — not to mention Amherst, which doesn’t have any required courses beyond the major. Between college writing, language and culture, world civilizations and distribution requirements, students spend many semesters completing required courses that may draw them away from classes they find interesting or that would benefit their lives or careers.
On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Jake Wilson was elected mayor of Somerville, earning 54.26% of the vote over Willie Burnley Jr. Voters also weighed in on three Somerville ballot questions — all of which passed — as well as a number of city council and school committee races.
When I was making my restaurant lineup for Parents’ Weekend, one task felt particularly daunting: finding the perfect brunch spot. I wanted something cozy and classic but still interesting — somewhere I could force someone to share a sweet and a savory dish with me so that I could get the best of both worlds. After scrolling through enough Google reviews to qualify as research, I landed on Rosebud Bar & Kitchen, a Davis Square classic that’s been reborn in recent years with a new twist.
Jonathan Tisch, family donated $1.3 million to anti-Mamdani super PAC in NYC mayoral election: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
New York City’s recent mayoral race, which ended Tuesday, drew attention across the country — including from the Tisch family, one of Tufts’ biggest donors. Over the past six months, the family contributed over $1.3 million to Fix the City, a super PAC focused on opposing the mayoral candidacy of Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist who ultimately won the election.
Tufts students tend to stay in their bubble, choosing to remain within the borders of their own campus rather than explore the Greater Boston area. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is where your next live music adventure can come to life, and it is only about a 40-minute trip from Tufts to Symphony Hall. Many of us are not very familiar with the classical music scene because it is not typically presented as an activity worth attending, but I would advise you to give it a chance. Most of us already enjoy classical music; the lovely violin sounds heard in movies and during holidays such as Christmas come from composers like John Williams and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, whose music is performed by orchestras like the BSO. Even though going to the symphony may feel intimidating at first, it is genuinely fun to hear beautiful music that spans centuries.

My mom and I share a love of Indigenous history and a good hike. Thus, when my grandmother recommended Bandelier National Monument as a stop on our road trip, we both jumped at the chance. Located near Los Alamos, N.M., Bandelier is home to ancient Pueblo ruins. When we arrived, we were both ready to get our hiking boots on. However, the second we got to the park, I knew something was wrong.
