Because the town denies the allegations, here are your early links: Bathhouse allegedly giving people UTIs, deadly driving on Long Island, F.I.T. textile lab tests out Levi's from Amazon and more.

Good Thursday morning in New York City, where someone who works on Wall Street should buy you a drink.
Here's what else is happening:
- "Every 7 minutes on average, a traffic crash causing death, injury or significant property damage happens on Long Island": Newsday has a big feature on the island's extremely dangerous drivers.
- A New York City law requires the mayor to spend 50% of the city's ad budget on things like public health announcements and school registration reminders in ethnic and community media outlets. Mayor Eric Adams has repeatedly failed to hit that mark.
- The hot tub at Bathhouse, the vibey spa in Williamsburg, is giving people urinary-tract infections, according to some Redditors.
- Several New Jersey cops preparing to sue North Bergen Police Chief Robert Farley are accusing him of spiking coworkers’ coffee with Viagra and Adderall, pooping on floors, sticking a hypodermic needle into an officer’s penis, sneaking hot peppers into officers' food, throwing eggs and other bad behaviors. (The town denies the allegations.)
- The head of a Bronx charter school network said they've instated all-day phone bans and it's going great.
- The F.I.T. textile lab looked into the difference between Levi's from Levi's and Levi's from Amazon.
- Boogie!
