What happens when you blend a romantic meet cute, a murder mystery and a killer of love into one 90-minute film? You get “Heart Eyes,” a new romantic-comedy/slasher starring Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding. From the producers of the Scream franchise, “Heart Eyes” is a campy ride, with a few interesting plot twists.
Unless you live under a rock — or hate sports, which I find unlikely given that you’re reading a niche column in the Daily about just that — you probably heard the name Luka Dončić once or twice over the past week.
Have you ever been to the sweaty basement of a house show, a chic gallery opening or a movie screening packed with film bros and been too intimidated to speak to the artist themselves? If so, then welcome to Coffee with Creatives, a column dedicated to exploring the on-campus and local arts scene, all while platforming the artists’ voices.
The U.S. national team’s new training leotards are here, and I have to say, I’m in love.
On his first day in office, President Donald Trump announced an executive order ending birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship to formerly enslaved Black people after the Civil War. Almost immediately, the executive order was temporarily blocked by a federal judge in Washington, D.C. Attorneys general from 22 states agreed that the order is unconstitutional and violates the 14th Amendment. Even so, Trump is arguing that the exceptions in the 14th Amendment, such as the Indigenous exception, don’t allow for birthright citizenship.
Like me, you may be wondering what exactly will be written about in this biweekly column. Every two weeks, I will make my best effort to provide some semblance of wisdom to a selected prompt provided by you — the community — or general wisdom when I feel like ranting, rambling or reflecting.
Sssss hassss hissss. Yes, I’m fluent in Parseltongue, and no, it’s notjustbecause I’m a super powerful wizard. I’m fully embracing the Year of the Snake by emulating the humble critter that has so brilliantly captivated every major cultural tradition. In fact, I would venture to say that there is not a single animal with such a potent, visceral connotation as the snake, which demands myths upon myths, inspiring our collective fear, revulsion and delight at all things serpentine.
On Mar. 27, 2027 the human race ended. Or at least it did according to Andrew and Sam Zuchero, the writing-directing pair behind the Sundance awardee “Love Me” (2024).
It is such a shame to see a league that was so focused on ball movement and masterful isolation in an effort to drive to the rim become diluted into a no-defense 5-out three-point contest. The NBA has reached a ratings cliff, where chic association edition jerseys and haute-culture-inspired parquets have become the focal point rather than the avant-garde ball mastery that many children around the world would spend countless hours mastering. Nowadays, you’ll be lucky to even turn on the TV and see a player even seriously attempt a one-legged fadeaway (Cam Thomas vs. Orlando Magic circa 2024).
Late last night, ESPN reporter Shams Charania broke the news that the Dallas Mavericks had traded Luka Dončić (along with two other players) to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round pick.
“I’m starting a column,” I said, turning to face my friend as we rode the Tufts shuttle to Davis Square. “It’s about the best places to go off-campus to study, the lesser-known ones, and I need ideas.” Her eyes immediately brightened as she said, “Oh, I know! Revival Cafe. It’s in Davis, just a little further down Elm Street.”
Despite priding myself on having seen every popular early 2000s rom-com, I only got around to watching “Confessions of a Shopaholic” (2009) for the first time last October. For those who have not seen the film, the movie follows the “shopaholic” Rebecca Bloomwood who finds herself writing ...
Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers for “The Crazed” by Ha Jin. Sometimes, I read books that I just don’t get. Something about the prose or the author’s voice, maybe, makes me feel disconnected from the plot and the characters. This book was one of those instances. When I initially picked ...
Since the revival of the Cleveland Browns franchise in 1999, their quarterback play has been extraordinarily horrible. It’s been almost 20 years since any quarterback started for the Browns for more than four seasons. Since 1999,40 quarterbacks have started for the Browns, many of whom were career journeymen.
Over winter break, I was back home in Beijing, China, where I was once again struck by the stark income inequality that defines so much of our society. This inequality does not hit me as hard when I’m in Medford, where the visual uniformity of the suburbs– where differences in wealth are more subdued – allows me to often overlook it. But in Beijing, the contrasts are impossible to ignore. The sight of Bentley cars just about everywhere I go, coupled with delivery workers who are sprinting tirelessly to their destinations just to make a living, leaves me grappling with difficult questions: how should I view income inequality, not just as an abstract economic concept, but as something more personal? What kind of lifestyle should I strive for in a world where privilege and deprivation coexist so seamlessly?
Over the winter break, I spent far more hours than I care to admit on my couch, starting up a borrowed home projector to watch film after film. Some of what I watched were recent winners at the Golden Globes, some were childhood favorites, some were classics I had still not seen.

Maizes and Crosby-Lizarde plan to continue running the organization full-time after they graduate in May.
My Crocs lost purchase on the vestal slurry carpeting the sidewalk. One foot slid forward while the other slid back, and I felt the entirety of my life with functioning hip abductors flash before my eyes. I was too young to strain a muscle walking in the snow and way too old to successfully hit the splits. Snow had descended upon Tufts and I was not prepared.

The biggest news of this week is certainly that 2020 Olympian Yul Moldauer has been suspended for 16 months due to three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period. As one of the top gymnasts in the United States, Moldauer is part of the USADA’s Registered Testing Pool. Athletes in this pool are required to declare their location for one hour each day between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m., ensuring they are available for random out-of-competition drug testing without prior notice. Over the course of the year, testing officers attempted to conduct a test three times at the location Moldauer had designated, but he was not there on any of those occasions and missed the tests.
