Alright, so it’s a pretty good Tuesday afternoon in the Big Apple, where Trump apparently had a change of heart about wind energy. But hey, let’s focus on what else is going down in the city that never sleeps:
The United Nations humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, dropped a bombshell by revealing that a whopping 14,000 babies in Gaza are on the brink of death within the next 48 hours if aid doesn’t reach them. That’s a pretty grim situation, to say the least. Ms. Rachel also chimed in, highlighting the harsh reality of Palestinian children in Gaza being killed, maimed, and starved by the thousands. Not exactly the uplifting news we were hoping for.
On a slightly different note, there’s been some drama at Columbia University, with reports of a board member subgroup convinced that the school has a dangerous number of antisemites lurking around. It seems like there’s some serious tension brewing on campus. Oh, and let’s not forget about Sister Francis Dominici Piscatella, the 112-year-old nun chilling on the South Shore of Long Island. Talk about living your best life!
In other news, the iconic Marcel Breuer building that used to house the Whitney Museum snagged New York City landmark status today. And over in Jersey Shore towns, they’re gearing up to crack down on rowdy teens during Memorial Day weekend. Seems like they’re not messing around. Plus, if you’ve got a spare $43,000 a month lying around, you can rent Carmelo Anthony’s swanky former Upper East Side pad with killer views of Central Park. Not too shabby, right?
And last but not least, Ellie, the New York Liberty’s mascot, is apparently raking in the influencer deals. Who knew mascots could be so marketable? Oh, and let’s not forget the latest craze of waiting in line for a sweatshirt that simply says “PARKE.” People will line up for anything these days, won’t they?
So yeah, that’s the lowdown on what’s happening in NYC right now. It’s a wild, unpredictable world out there, folks. Just hang on tight and enjoy the ride.
