Mets owner Steve Cohen is pushing City Hall to allow for more development around Citi Field, possibly including a casino in the stadium's parking lot.
Homeless New Yorkers who were evicted from an encampment under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway last month have essentially returned.
Matthew Broderick, who's currently starring in Plaza Suite on Broadway alongside his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, tested positive for COVID, so his Tony Award-winning understudy is filling in.
Christian Smalls, the leader of the Amazon Labor Union, accused Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of abandoning the union's cause and said she didn't "deserve this moment" to celebrate success. (The congresswoman said she had a scheduling conflict that kept her from joining organizers at a rally last year.)
The women's rugby team at Norwich University in Vermont is being investigated for hazing practices that allegedly included branding and waterboarding younger players.
Dedicated Magic Mike fans who gather on WhatsApp reportedly breached the set of Magic Mike 3 in England, causing a security brouhaha.
Get ready for gnomecore, a new lifestyle trend that involves houseboats, mushrooms, egg cups, baseball and soccer fandom, house slippers, having a "hobby," and being a lil' plump.
