Good morning Wypierdalaj,

New tickets for all 104 matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will drop on Wednesday, April 22 at 11 a.m. ET, FIFA announced Tuesday.

The matches will be played across Mexico, Canada and the United States from Jun 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026.

It was not immediately clear how many tickets would be made available or how much they would cost.

Seventeen people have been charged in an October street takeover in Randolph, Massachusetts, where masked members of the crowd surrounded police cruisers and set off fireworks.

Police say on Oct. 5, 2025, officers responded after a large crowd gathered at the intersection of North Main and Oak streets. Investigators determined that the participants were blocking the road so drivers could perform stunts like donuts in the roadway.

The first officer who arrived was surrounded by the crowd that blocked him from the intersection. Dash camera footage shows a group of masked people approaching the vehicle, blocking it with their bodies, hitting and jumping on the hood and setting off fireworks.

There was a heated debate Tuesday in Beverly, Massachusetts, about the use of AI-powered Flock surveillance cameras.

Police in Beverly and other communities use the system to capture license plates on city streets. They have been instrumental in several recent high-profile investigations, but some have raised concerns about privacy.

A meeting was held at City Hall to discuss the cameras.

The Boston Bruins bounced back in impressive fashion with a Game 2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night at KeyBank Center to even their first-round playoff series 1-1.

Just like in Game 1, the Sabres made a strong comeback in the third period. This time, they trimmed the Bruins’ lead from 4-0 to 4-2 with five minutes left in regulation. But the B’s didn’t let the momentum carry the Sabres any further.

They tightened up defensively and goaltender Jeremy Swayman rose to the occasion with a bunch of important saves.

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics fell to the Philadelphia 76ers 111-97 in Tuesday night’s Game 2 at TD Garden, evening the first-round series at 1-1.

Philadelphia shot 19-of-39 from 3-point range after making only four 3s in all of Game 1. VJ Edgecombe (30 points) and Tyrese Maxey (29 points) led the way in the Sixers’ victory.

Jaylen Brown scored a game-high 36 points in a losing effort for Boston. Jayson Tatum came one assist shy of a triple-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds, and nine assists.

This is our coolest, dampest day of the week. Showers will pass through this morning, with a general gray overcast this afternoon. We’re not expecting a lot of water from this system. Just enough to keep the puddles around. And temps really don’t get up and get going at any point today. Mid and upper 40s should cover the range.

Tomorrow is our warmest day of the week thanks to a northwest (not east) wind and plentiful sunshine. Highs will get to 60 in many spots. Unfortunately, this will also be the warmest we’ll see of the next several days.

Cooler winds will come in both Friday — and both weekend days — to bring us back down to the low and mid-50s. For a little perspective, normal high temperatures these days are 59 in Boston and 58 in Worcester.
