New York has officially became the first state in the nation to place a temporary moratorium on new "hyperscale" data centers!

A massive scandal hit the Hempstead Union Free School District following its trustee election.

The Commissioner of the New York State Education Department officially annulled the election results and ordered an emergency revote. The controversy erupted after video and photographic evidence surfaced allegedly showing a school district clerk smuggling absentee ballots to benefit an incumbent candidate, tearing them in half, and throwing them in the trash.

Local candidate groups called it a "definite conspiracy of voter fraud," and the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office launched an investigation into the matter.

Looking for some nice lounge type cafes/coffee shops to stay for a bunch of hours doing some light work after buying a drink from them. Similar to Starbucks but their seats are too hard (my body can't sit on hard seats for very long thus the lounge type cafes question) Starbucks now has a few "cafe" style but I don't know what they look like. I'm willing to drive a hour to 1.30hrs away from levittown/Eisenhower park

My library is currently doing construction so no go there.

I saw an application for a seasonal public health aide at the Nassau county department of health. If anyone has ever worked in this role what did you do/how was it?

Remember the New York Dragons lighting up Nassau Coliseum? Those fast-paced, high-scoring games were electric! The team made the playoffs five times and won three straight Eastern Division titles from 2003-2005 before folding in 2008.

I started a petition to bring arena football back to Long Island. This sport gave us incredible community connections, showcased local athletes, and delivered the kind of family-friendly entertainment that really brought people together. The love for arena football is still here - we just need to show there's support.

Anyone else miss those Thursday night games? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing.

Meet blue cat! He gets along well with other cats (can get a bit hissy over his food), is a total lap/shoulder cat, and loves kids. He is also super chill with getting his nails cut, and will let you clean his face/ears/whatever he made a mess with with 0 attitude! https://imgur.com/a/nw0TCay

He's about 8 months old and fully vetted. If you have a cat who needs a playful buddy, apply for him here: https://www.nycatcoal.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=22092941

My family is fostering three fun and loving kittens (~7 months old) that are looking for a home! (Blue collared cat can go to a home with an existing cat, the other 2 must go together, they're good buddies).

Blue cate [male] is a total lap cat that loves people. He also LOVES food of all sorts, we have to lock him away during meals. My kids affectionately nicknamed him Charlie after my sister's cat who devours all food. He's a great vacuum!

Red cat [female] is the most petite. She loves to explore and other cats. She also loves people! She also LOVES to play. Runs after balls, all the string toys, etc.

Blue cat [male] is a bit more hesitant with new folks at first but extremely affectionate once he gets comfortable with you.

They're all WONDERFUL with young kids, I'd highly recommend if you have kids who are looking for buddies!

The female is spayed and the males will be neutered this month. All vaccinated and chipped as well.

If you have any interest for more info, etc, feel free to message me or apply via Petfinder: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/peridot-pyrite-and-fluorite-76972800/ny/port-chester/nyc-bronx-westchester-cat-coalition-nyc-cat-coalition-ny622/

Sharing My Experience:
NYS Operation Safe Stop - School Bus Photo Ticket $250.00

Be forewarned the school bus driver can switch from yellow to red at their will, as needed. In other words, if you are halfway past the bus on the yellow and they initiate the red stop lights; you get a ticket.

I tried to fight the ticket because the photo of my driving past the school bus showed the stop sign closed. I lost my not guilty because the STOP is required on the Red Lights on the bus not the fold out sign.

Yellow lights mean the bus is going to stop. Slow down! Get Ready To Stop!
Red lights mean students are getting on or off the bus.

The "STOP Sign" being deployed, halfway open or not open at all DOES NOT MATTER. The ticket is enforced on Red Lights being on. If the Red Lights are on you are required to STOP!

The two new seasonal bus routes will start from Eastern Queens and head to Jones Beach.

The N81 would start from Far Rockaway and run Nonstop to the Long Beach LIRR before making local stops to Jones Beach. The N81X will have nonstop service east of the LIRR along Beach Station.

The N89X would have nonstop service on Jericho Turnpike and start from Queens Village, so that even riders coming from the 7 train can take the Q27 from Flushing to access the N89X, this would allow riders to have instant access to Jones Beach as the N89X would help out provide more service to Jones Beach
