During this morning news, NY1 has repeatedly aired a cheesy commercial thanking the president for addressing this "crisis" by allowing flavored vapes.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

The Trump administration issued a new policy that could allow major tobacco and vape companies to begin selling flavored e-cigarettes, delivering a win to top donors after a year of paring back federal tobacco-control efforts.

@spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social WTH was the e-bike collision story just aired?!?! A self-absorbed woman films her exit from a ride share & while her camera is focused on the “Look decal she doors a bike rider. The bike rider crashes into someone else. Your takeaway from this is e-bikes are dangerous?

My son was hospitalized for an intense week with an e.coli infection. It took him months to be back at full health. Please be careful and be aware!

The FDA has asked Raw Farm to recall the cheddar cheese linked to the outbreak and "it has declined." But E.coli 0157 H7 is a very pathogenic bacteria. So buyer be aware and beware here. 1/3

Happy Caturday! This former feral is so eager to cuddle with our aloof mutt that she will make do with this less than ideal situation.

Watching this embarrassing RFK Jr. session and starting to understand the creepy Vimergy “save yourself” ads NY1 repeatedly airs every morning are all part of this MAHA bs.

There is a significant cluster of Legionnaire's Disease in Central Harlem. 22 cases identified so far this week. Tragically one patient has died. If you live or work in zip codes 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037 or 10039 and you develop flu-like symptoms, contact a health care provider immediately. 1/3

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC. But no City agency has posted it on this platform. Please help spread the word. “If you live in a basement apartment or low-lying area, be ready to move to higher ground.”

Happy Caturday! I finally took this book off my TBR pile. A few pages in I wondered what was up with this charming family now, especially in this political climate, and I was shocked!

Had a fun night in Jersey City yesterday and took this pic on the way home to the UES. This is the uptown 4 at 11:30 pm, it got even more crowded just after I snapped this. Felt the need to document this for our whiny Dept of Transportation Secretary.

I LOLed when this popped up on my phone. Both at the idea of gifting this to my 73 y/o mom and the idea of my teenage sons presenting me with this "treat".

Lorde features our pup’s regular weekend walk route in her new video for “What was that”. We tried to recreate the video this rainy morning.

My often posting on FB about the pros of the congestion pricing and subway have led to some eye-opening conversations w my Midwest family & friends. “The news” had told them no one takes the subway and we all want to drive but it is too expensive!

Absolutely incredible: the Feds totally folded on Congestion Pricing, thanks to the MTA just...refusing to abide by their demands www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

@cnbc.com would have appreciated you asking Lutnick if he ever grocery shops. All fruit/veg here in the States list country of origin. I appreciate this as a consumer. What the hell was he going on about?

I was hoping on Jeopardy that Juveria would tell us during the Ken-chit-chats-with-contestants part where she got that gorgeous yellow dress and amazing belt.

This awful story reminds me of the deaths of a coworker and her husband. She left work during the day to have lunch with her retired husband. At home she found him unresponsive/dead, called 911 and then suffered an aneurysm that quickly killed her.

Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead inside a New Mexico home, as well as a dog. The door to the home was open when a maintenance worker discovered their bodies, an affidavit says.

When my oldest was little, I had to beg both Grandmas not to give him things with red dye. They could give him all the sugar and he’d have the normal sugar high. Give him something with red dye and he would be bonkers, just a different kid. Didn’t happen with his younger brother.

The food colorant has been linked to behavioral problems in children, including inattention and hyperactivity. California passed a law to ban it last year.
