Socialism’s true believers who cast their ballots for Zohran Mamdani should take note of how the perpetually grinning mayor-to-be thanks them for their votes: with a big, fat kiss-off. Mamdani coldly blew off lower Manhattanites who overwhelmingly voted for him by taking the wrong side in the long-running dispute over the beloved Elizabeth Street Garden, which City Hall had earmarked for demolition until Mayor Adams came to his senses last spring. Mamdani wants to replace the green oasis with low-income housing. The Elizabeth Street Garden in Nolita. Stephen Yang for the New York Post But Adams, in one of his…

There is no real need to get so far ahead of ourselves. After all, it is not yet Thanksgiving. The leaves are still clinging to their branches and the winter cold is merely hinting at its arrival. The Giants still have six games remaining. Heck, they have not even reached their bye week yet — that comes incredibly late, in Week 14. But, consider this: Would you rather focus on the bleak present or take a break from this misery and consider what might be a brighter tomorrow?

Scientists may have found a way to stop Alzheimer’s damage before it starts — by “melting” the tiny protein clumps that are the early triggers of the disease. Alzheimer’s has long been linked to harmful tau protein fibrils that build up in the brain and interfere with cognitive function, but researchers have now discovered soft, small clusters that appear first. When those early clusters were dissolved, it prevented the toxic fibrils from forming, which could effectively block the disease, according to researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University. Led by Professor Rei Kurita, the scientists used precise X-ray and fluorescence methods in a laboratory setting…

DALLAS — The Islanders were left shaken by Mikko Rantanen’s hit on Alexander Romanov that appeared to cause the defenseman serious injury with 27.3 seconds to go in their 3-2 win over the Stars on Tuesday night, and Patrick Roy blasted the Finn for a move he saw as “disrespectful to our guys.”  With Romanov’s numbers facing him and both players going full steam toward the end boards, Rantanen pushed Romanov hard into the glass. Romanov, whose head appeared to hit the boards first, went down in a heap and needed help off the ice. An Islanders spokesman said Romanov…

Glen Powell didn’t want the glitz and glam that comes with living in Hollywood. During a recent interview with Vanity Fair for its 2026 Hollywood Issue, the 37-year-old “Twisters” actor spoke about why he chose to leave Los Angeles and move back to his hometown of Austin, Texas, despite his success. “I needed a spiritual place where I could hang my hat and truly be unplugged,” he said. “If you live in LA … where everyone is sort of a part of this thing, you can’t ever sign off of that app.” It seems Powell moved from one acting hot spot to another,…

When relationships become challenging, we want to understand what’s going on. We look for causes. And most of the time, we become convinced that our loved ones are to blame. We find ourselves thinking, “Our relationship would be easy if it weren’t for you.” We can seem to have become obsessed with identifying whether or not the people in our lives are dysfunctional in some way. Compounding this, many therapists may listen to a client’s hurts, disappointments, dissatisfactions, and anger with loved ones, and then, without ever having met them, offer diagnoses that confirm their clients’ one-sided perspectives: “Your partner/parent/sibling/friend…
