Good Tuesday morning in NYC, where the mayor’s crib in Bed-Stuy is rat-free. So, that’s a win, right? Anyway, let’s dive into what’s going down in the city that never sleeps:
• The New York Hall of Science is stepping up its game with a new exhibit that lets you pretend you’re cruising around in a city bus. Pretty cool, right?
• Mayor Adams’ press office needs to give some respect to these shirts they’ve been brushing off. They’re not just any old shirts, apparently.
• Gov. Kathy Hochul is all about releasing more folks from state prisons early, but there’s a snag. Hundreds of eligible detainees are stuck behind bars because there’s not enough non-“shelter” housing to go around. Bummer.
• Uh oh, it seems like 29-year-old Long Island Democrat Petros Krommidas is MIA while running for a spot on the Nassau County Legislature. Hope he turns up safe and sound.
• A YouTuber thought it would be a great idea to fake passing out in his car in Times Square. Surprise, surprise, he got arrested. Maybe not the best video idea, buddy.
• Mark Carney is sticking around as Canada’s prime minister after a recent election. Keeping the maple leaf flying high, eh?
• Over in Canada, the Canadian Journal of Cardiology dropped a study claiming that sipping champagne, munching on fruit, and staying positive could lower your risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Cheers to that!
• Jeremy Renner’s new memoir about getting plowed over by a snow plow is now up for grabs. Sounds like a wild ride.
• Massapequa and a bunch of other Long Island school districts might kiss their state funding goodbye if they don’t ditch their Native American mascots. Tough call there.
In other news, a 17-year-old dude got shot at Flatbush Gardens in the wee hours of Tuesday. Seems like a rough spot since a double murder made waves there back in 2023. Stay safe out there, folks.
