Tufts’ quirks

By Anubhav Sinha | February 26

During my time at Tufts, I’ve developed a hobby of collecting trivia about the quirkier aspects of our school. This has led me to realize that most of us don’t really know much about Tufts outside of the four years we spend here. We get so caught up in the dining halls, problem sets, labs and studios that we forget to stop and ask ourselves: What’s the story behind all of it? So for Daily Week, I decided to compile some of Tufts’ more entertaining quirks and hidden histories to share with you all.

How effective is fact-checking on social media really?

By Anubhav Sinha | April 22

Back in January, Meta made a bold move — it dropped third-party fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram andreplaced it with community notes. The company said this change was about deepening its “commitment to free expression.” But not everyone is buying that explanation. Critics argue that there might be political motivations at play, and they’re worried that this shift could make it even easier for disinformation and toxic content to spread on their platforms. These concerns are valid, but there are larger questions lurking underneath all of this: Does fact-checking actually work? I mean, can it really stop people from believing falsehoods? And how distinct are facts from fiction?

DOGE should dream bigger

By Anubhav Sinha | March 11

Reducing the size of the federal government has long been a major goal for conservatives. However, since the New Deal, the government has actually expanded, much to the frustration of figures like Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman. In fact, conservatives haven’t been able to shrink the government much, sometimes actually contributing to its growth. But President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency is different — it is one of the most aggressive efforts to cut government spending in recent memory.

Where the Democrats went wrong on immigration

By Anubhav Sinha | February 26

For years, experts have believed that the Republican Party would be unable to win elections in the future due to their messaging on immigration, which many perceived as racist. In 2002, Ruy Teixeira,co-author of “The Emerging Democratic Majority,” suggested that unless the Republicans softened their rhetoric on immigration, they would be doomed to a future of electoral losses in a new multiracial America; so too did the authors of the2013 RNC autopsy, a report commissioned by the Republican National Committee after the GOP’s loss in 2012.
