Good Friday morning in New York City, where we've compiled everything you need to know about composting.
Here's what else is happening:
- President Trump is pulling Rep. Elise Stefanik's nomination for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to avoid potentially losing her upstate congressional seat to a Democrat in a special election.
- The Democratic primary race in Park Slope's City Council district has become something of a proxy war over Israel and Gaza.
- Sheff G, a prominent New York City drill rapper who joined Trump at a rally in the Bronx last year, has pleaded guilty to attempted murder and conspiracy charges.
- David M. Childs, the chief architect of One World Trade, has died at the age of 83.
- White collar workers who bought cool houses upstate at the start of the pandemic are now moving to towns that are slightly less upstate to make it easier to get a train into the city.
- Māori lawyers say the running shoe brand Hoka misappropriated the name.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may or may not be coming after poppers.
- Maybe RFK Jr. should go after Smartfood for "ens**ttifying" its white cheddar popcorn recipe.
