Good Monday afternoon in New York City, where Mayor Adams wants to know: Are you still charging me with crimes or not?
Here's what else is happening:
- Here's a very long piece about what's going on with Andrew Cuomo.
- Authorities said one person died after a big fire broke out this morning at a Suffolk County cat sanctuary. (There was no immediate word about if or how many cats died.)
- Inside a big hole in the ground behind a South Jersey Lowe's, paleontologists discovered fossilized remains from a mass dinosaur extinction the occurred 66 million years ago. Now, the spot is home to a $75 million dinosaur museum that looks cool.
- Add the chicken pad Thai sub at Tony Boloney's in Hoboken to the big sandwich list.
- I can't say if Chappell Roan is correct about motherhood but I do agree that little kids get sick all the time and they can make you sick, too!
- Braces are cool now.
- Max (formerly HBO Max) is ditching its blue motif and rebranding with a black background.
- This is a chic way to let light in while blocking the looky-loos from seeing inside your apartment.
