Massachusetts Question 3 asks whether that habit should end. The statewide measure would scrap separate party primaries and place every candidate on one preliminary ballot, sending only the two highest finishers to November, whatever labels they carry.

“Muckle” Can Mean to Grab and Hold Tight

The word muckle means “grab, seize, or tackle and hold tight,” and it’s especially associated with New Hampshire, Maine, and parts of Massachusetts. Eric from Monroe, New Hampshire, says most people he’s talked with have never heard of it, but his older brothers used to threaten him saying things like, If you don’t cut it out, I’m gonna muckle you! You can also muckle onto a rope, the end of a couch, or an idea, and you can even muckle onto someone when kissing them passionately. The origin of the word muckle is unclear. It may be influenced by an older Scots or Northern England word meaning “large” or “much,” although it may well have to do with the idea of muck as a verb applied to doing physically demanding work, such as mucking out a stall. For more than a century, the military has used muckle through as a joking mispronunciation of “muscle through.” This is part of a complete episode.

Winter gas rates for many in Mass. hold steady — a rare reprieve as other costs rise

On a gray November morning in Worcester, the gas bill that lands in a mailbox can feel like a verdict. Heat is not a luxury in New England. It is the difference between a livable kitchen and a room a family abandons after dinner. This year, for many households, that verdict is unusually calm. Massachusetts gas rates for the winter period are holding steady for a large share of customers, a pause that arrives while groceries, insurance, and rent keep climbing. Regulators approved supply prices that do not jump the way they did in the hardest winters of the early 2020s. The relief is real. It is also narrow, and it does not rewrite the longer story of what it costs to stay warm north of Hartford and south of the Canadian border.
