Hundreds
of partiers converged on St. Marks Place in the East Village Friday
night — Coronavirus pandemic be damned. Crowds of at least 200 were
seen drinking outside for hours, most without face masks, on the
stretch between Avenue A and First Avenue alone. Revelers lounged
against Citi Bike racks or strolled with cups of beers and hard
seltzers tucked in koozies in what felt like a giant bar crawl. “The
way I see it, it’s like already past the 8th; that’s my marker,”
said Sarah, a law student who lives in the East Village, in reference
to the date marking the city’s entrance into its Phase One of
reopening under state guidelines. “Now I’m just like, how long
can you live in isolation scrolling on Tinder? You can’t do that
enough already. You need to venture out,” she added. MTA buses and
other vehicles crawled through the massive throng of carousers, who
spilled into the street as others sat at the curb.

Film’s
biggest night is being rescheduled for the first time in 40 years due
to the coronavirus pandemic. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences announced on Monday that the 93rd Oscars will no longer take
place on February 28 as planned. Instead, the board of governors said
the show will take place on April 25, 2021. The last time the Oscars
were postponed was in 1981, when the ceremony was delayed 24 hours
because of an assassination attempt on President Ronald
Reagan.
There’s not a lot we know about how the 72nd Emmy
Awards will take place, but they are happening and Jimmy Kimmel will
once again host the event. Kimmel said in a statement, “I don’t
know where we will do this or how we will do this or even why we are
doing this, but we are doing it and I am hosting it.” The show is
set to take place on September 20 and air on ABC.

A bizarre snapshot of the surface of Mars has recently resurfaced along with the conspiracy theory that it shows a human bone. Some people think they can see a femur in rubble on the Red Planet but this theory was debunked by NASA long ago. The photo was actually taken back in 2014 by the Curiosity Rover’s MastCam. It’s still used by conspiracy theorists to claim that there was once human life on Mars.
Researchers are studying the lint in our belly buttons.
Target will raise its minimum wage for employees to $15 up from $13 starting July 5, a few months ahead of a deadline it set three years ago.
There is some good that comes from Facebook, but one of the biggest reasons to quit: it’s a giant time-suck. It’s estimated that the average casual user (58 minutes per day on Facebook) who has been active on the site for 10 years has wasted upwards of 140 entire days of their life scrolling and liking and commenting on pictures and posts.
A man in the Ukraine told police he thinks his ex-girlfriend used a key he had given her to enter his apartment, steal his TV remote, and slash his clothes with a knife.
A little rudeness can go a long way in the fight to curb jaywalkers. Experiments conducted by students at a university in China showed that warning signs written with insulting messages had greater impact than those with nicer messages. A sign reading “Jaywalkers are ugly” placed at an intersection proved to be the most effective, reducing cases of jaywalking by about 40 percent.

Tornados
used to be called "twirlblasts" and "twirlwinds"
in the 18th century. If you lived in the 18th century, you might have
referred to tornados using the words "twirlblast" or
"twirlwind." Honestly, we might need to bring these back!

A
former Hernando, Florida Commissioner who was charged with running a
brothel has filed to run for his old seat. Two years ago, Nick
Nicholson made national headlines when the then-Hernando County
commissioner was charged with giving room and board to prostitutes in
exchange for sex and running a brothel from his Spring Hill home.
After the 2018 arrest, Nicholson was blasted by the local Republican
leadership. He was suspended by the governor and resigned his seat.
As a first-time offender facing misdemeanor charges, he ended up
taking a plea deal and paid a fine of $729. Now he wants his old job
back. He filed paperwork early Monday, the start of official
qualifying for local political offices, to run again for the District
1 commission seat. The Hernando County Republican executive committee
will not support him in his new run for the seat, said Jeff Holcomb,
chairman of the committee and a sitting Hernando County commissioner.

MOMENT

He
isn’t even her father, yet a Florida man let a 12-year-old girl
drive his SUV and told her to speed because he wanted to be a “cool
father.” 41-year-old Shaun Michaelsen told the arresting officer he
is friends with the girl’s mother and that the girl and her friend
were staying with him for a few days. He said the girl had asked
earlier in the day if she could drive his Jeep, so he thought “it
would be cool” and that he was trying to be a “cool father,”
the police report said. Michaelsen also told officers he had been
drinking. Jupiter Officer Craig Yochum said in his arrest report that
he spotted the Jeep make an illegal U-turn and then speed away at
about 12:10 a.m. Monday. He followed and the Jeep reached speeds of
85 mph in a 45-mph zone before he was able to pull it over.
Michaelsen is charged with child neglect and allowing an unauthorized
person to drive. (https://cbsloc.al/3hfhF3q)
