Director of company behind NYC-Dublin portal says flashes, raunchy antics ‘inevitable’ — vows return
The misbehavior at the NYC-Dublin portal that caused organizers to shut down the live-stream link between the two cities — including a New Jersey OnlyFans star who flashed the screen — was “inevitable,” says the director of the company behind the project. Joe Callahan said the Portals Organization is working on a high-tech fix, including an AI censor that will blur naughty stunts. He hopes the 8-foot round screens will be off for only “a short period of time, not weeks, not months,” he told The Post. Organizers pull plug on NYC-Dublin portal — for now — as raunchy behavior runs...
No dice! NYC neighbors oppose Times Square Casino in their backyard over crime traffic fears
No dice, Hova! Locals think a Times Square casino backed by rapper Jay Z’s company is a bad idea — and would bring even more traffic and crime to the tourist-packed neighborhood, a new survey said. A whopping 71% of registered voters who live in or near Times Square oppose opening a casino at “The Crossroads of the World” pushed by partners SL Green, Caesars and Roc Nation, according to the survey, released Thursday. Only 23% of voters say they favor opening a casino in Times Square, according to the survey, which was financed by the No Times Square Casino Coalition that includes the...
Ranking MLB’s offseason moves: Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto are shining
When a team spends $1 billion-plus, it should make the best moves. So it’s no surprise a quartet by the Dodgers — America’s model franchise — rank high among my 20 “Best Winter Moves.” The list, with key stat (* denotes league leader): 1. Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers (1.108 OPS*): Who else? He leads the NL in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS while playing through the scandal of the season (he acts like he barely misses the 16 very large and maybe he doesn’t.) $700M bargain. 2. Shota Imanaga, Cubs (0.96 ERA*): The winner of the WBC clincher is outpitching even Yoshinobu...
Kate Middleton and Prince William ‘absolutely furious’ over Meghan and Harry’s Nigeria trip: royal author
It’s a family feud. Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle, 42, recently took a royal-style trip to Nigeria — even though they stepped back from being working royals in 2020. Author and royal expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror that the couple’s trip “confirmed the worst fears” of Harry’s family, and made Prince William and Kate Middleton “absolutely furious.” He added, “Everything you might expect from an official royal visit was there — the receptions, the visits to schools and charities, to wounded soldiers and the disabled.” Why JFK Jr. didn’t call Prince William and Harry after Princess Diana’s death — despite wife...
House passes bill forcing US-supplied weapons to Israel — despite Biden veto threat
The House approved legislation Thursday that would force President Biden to swiftly send US weapons to Israel amid its war with Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip — in the face of a pause on at least one shipment and a looming veto threat from the commander in chief. The lower chamber voted 224-187 to pass the Israel Security Assistance Support Act, with 208 Republicans and 16 Democrats in support. Three Republicans joined 184 Democrats in opposing it. The bill, introduced Tuesday by Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), would also defund Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the Biden’s...

How to stay safe this summer when drinking alcohol at the beach
As the weather warms and the days lengthen, many among us head to the nearest body of water — and reach for the booze when we get there. Be it a beer, a seltzer, a shot of warm whiskey or a poolside margarita, few things sound as enticing as unwinding under the sun with a drink in hand. Yet, experts warn that summer fun poses some serious risks. Some ways to stay safe while you sip include avoiding swimming or boating, taking care to properly hydrate and keeping tabs on your booze consumption. Avoid the water if you’re wetting your whistle...

MINNEAPOLIS — Juan Soto is not shutting the door on in-season contract talks. After Hal Steinbrenner said on a YES Network podcast that he would like to see Soto finish his career as a Yankee and that there would likely be talks with the pending free agent’s camp this season, the star outfielder indicated he would be amenable to such talks. “My door has always been open,” Soto said Thursday after the Yankees swept the Twins at Target Field. “Whenever he wants to start talking with Scott [Boras] and all those people, they’re always open to hear whatever he has.

Here’s how much it costs to buy a luxe Manhattan home with access to a shared secret garden
These Manhattan homes share a secret: Behind them are two of New York City’s most stunning urban oases that only a privileged few can access. But now, it’s slightly easier to get in — for the right price. In Turtle Bay and Greenwich Village, two townhouses currently for sale offer access to hidden gardens that offer an escape from the urban crush. The first, a five-bedroom, six-bathroom property located at 239 E. 48th St., has access to the Turtle Bay Gardens through French doors in its ground floor dining room.

Texas authorities armed with ‘thousands’ of pepperballs instructed to...

ABC News staffers are blaming a dustup over provocative Instagram photos posted by “Good Morning America 3” co-host DeMarco Morgan on a wave of layoffs last year — with casualties including executives whose duties included monitoring the social media accounts of the network’s on-air talent, The Post has learned. The Post reported Wednesday that ABC News brass have raised alarms over the photos of Morgan posing in skin-tight bike shorts — drawing a tide of racy responses including fire, heart and eggplant emojis — and have since been wrestling over how to address it with the hunky anchor. “Disney is a...

Former Republican Maryland Gov., current Senate candidate Larry Hogan calls for codification of Roe v. Wade
Former Republican Gov. of Maryland Larry Hogan came out in favor of codifying into federal law precedents first set in Roe v. Wade guaranteeing a national right to an abortion. Hogan, a contender in the surprisingly competitive Old Line State Senate race, pledged to back codification if it came up in the upper chamber, as prominent Republicans across the country have retreated on the albatross issue. “As governor, I protected the rights of Maryland women to make their own reproductive health decisions. I will do the same in the Senate by restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land,”...
NYC hospital-building boom on Upper East Side roils upper-crust residents
The Upper East Side, once known as the Silk Stocking District, has embraced cotton scrubs — but not everyone’s thrilled about it. CBRE cited growing demand for healthcare services, especially for those over age 75, for the tony area becoming the “central node” in the Tristate region’s health sector, according to a new report by the company. Five major new hospital and medical projects are rising amid the upper-crust neighborhood’s fancy homes and shops — and three more enormous, highly controversial ones are proposed. New leases and expansions for health facilities in Manhattan totaled nearly 5.4 million square feet since 2018, much of...

Biden omits free vacations at million dollar homes from ethics forms despite Clarence Thomas outcry
WASHINGTON — President Biden failed again to note his free stays at the vacation homes of rich patrons on annual ethics forms made public this week — making the omission days after ProPublica was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for chronicling Supreme Court justices’ non-disclosures under the same transparency rule. Biden took four vacations at the homes of wealthy supporters in 2023, none of which were listed as gifts on the forms signed by the president. The annual paperwork must be submitted by federal officeholders — including judges and presidents — under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. “If there’s a deliberate omission of...
The ‘pastrogi’ is a new mashup of pierogi and pastrami from 2 legendary NYC eateries
We’ll have what they’re having. Sandwich icon Katz’s Delicatessen and beloved Ukrainian East Village eatery Veselka have teamed up to create a new menu mashup: the “pastrogi,” a pastrami-stuffed pierogi. The city’s oldest deli provides its signature deli meat, and Veselka works the pastrami into its classic Eastern European dumplings. Famished New Yorkers best mark their calendars and prepare for a quick trip to Brooklyn, though. The best pastrami in NYC doesn’t come from a deli anymore The one-of-a-kind “flavorful fusion” will only be available for one month at Veselka’s new Williamsburg location at 646 Lorimer St. starting on its opening day, Wednesday,...
Hoka’s new ‘illegal’ running shoe is turning people on to running
The clock is ticking. Activewear brands are racing to make the best running shoes on the market. Days are getting longer, the weather is warming up, and marathon training season is in full blow. Olympic buzz has fueled a surge in sports tourism and shopping trends, and Hoka has come in with a hot new sneaker that is ‘so good’ that it’s technically banned in competitive races. That’s right — another ‘illegal’ running shoe to add to the list, sitting alongside the Adidas Adizero Prime and New Balance Supercomp Trainer. Hoka, the 15-year-old French sportswear company owned by UGG’s Deckers brand, has...
Teen dead after Paqui ‘One Chip Challenge’ chip died of high chili consumption and heart defect: autopsy
A Massachusetts 14-year-old died from eating too much chile pepper extract combined with a heart problem after he took part in a spicy chip challenge last year, officials said. Worcester teen Harris Wolobah died on Sept. 1, 2023, after he munched on the controversial Paqui tortilla chip that’s dusted with two of the world’s hottest peppers — and was branded as a “vengeful pleasure of intense heat and pain.” The company quickly pulled its product from shelves in the aftermath as the teen’s family blamed the “One Chip Challenge” for his death. An autopsy released Thursday indicated Wolobah died as a result of the cardiopulmonary arrest...
