Tufts Mood Psychology deserves your attention
(11/07/25 5:03am)
While they have a relatively small following on campus, make no mistake: Tufts Mood Psychology is changing the media scene. This completely student-run organization focuses on making documentaries (in both English and Chinese) that connect the real lives of students to important psychological concepts. Episodes from their latest series, “Flash in My Life,” are screened in Barnum Hall regularly.

(11/07/25 5:03am)

Astana: The city that is not Almaty
(11/07/25 5:01am)
Besides its claim to the title of second coldest capital city in the world, Astana, Kazakhstan is renowned for its architecture — in fact, mentions of the city are always accompanied by reference to its futuristic architectural style. After 17 hours of pacing, playing cards, intermittent sleep on a stiff fold-down bed and watching the low hills of the Kazakh Steppe race by the train window, I was prepared to be unimpressed by the city of Astana. Yet, even bleary-eyed and weakly shuffling after our tour guide, the sleek, fantastical skyline of Astana throttled me into amazement.
Printmaking’s global legacy: Preserving Asian traditions and their influence on modern art
(11/07/25 5:01am)
Printmaking dates back to the Tang Dynasty in China, where it was primarily used for Buddhist texts and illustrations. It then spread widely throughout Asia, notably reaching Japan in the seventh century. Traditionally, Japanese printmakers used mokuhanga, a woodblock printing technique — “moku” meaning wood and “hanga” meaning print. In mokuhanga, a traditional bamboo hand tool called a baren is used to press the ink onto the paper.

(11/06/25 5:01am)

Students respond to new policy on cannon repainting
(11/06/25 5:03am)
Tufts’ recent policy for painting the cannon — the site of a longtime Tufts tradition — has drawn student criticism since its implementation. As of this year, the university now paints the cannon gray every Thursday, along with periodic cleanings. According to Tufts, the shift was made to quell student fears about painting over other groups’ messages, while some students argue that the new regulations limit their free speech on campus.

Is critical thinking a crime now?
(11/06/25 5:01am)
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.
Trump, the media and our desensitization to violence
(11/06/25 5:05am)
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.
Look up! You never know what you’ll see
(11/06/25 5:03am)
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.

Bad Bunny is leading a new kind of American revolution
(11/06/25 5:03am)
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.
High Fidelity: Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue, 50 years on
(11/06/25 5:01am)
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.
