Extra Extra: Mayor Adams' police robots are still waiting for a new assignment
Sept. 4, 2024, 3:01 p.m.
Because the robots got yanked from Times Square subway station patrol almost a year ago, here are your afternoon links: Barron Trump at NYU, complaints about protesters at Columbia, rare lobsters rescued and more.

Good Wednesday afternoon in New York City, where the kids are about to get A+ back-to-school outfit weather.
Here's what else is happening:
- "Last semester was, like, just crazy in terms of protesting." That's one of the quotes NYMag overhead for the first day of class at Columbia.
- The 42nd Street Shuttle, which runs between Times Square and Grand Central Station, will soon become the first subway line to have cell service along the entire route.
- Mayor Eric Adams' administration still doesn't have a plan for what to do with the R2-D2-looking police robots it tried and failed to use to patrol the Times Square subway station.
- Two more of these extremely rare orange lobsters have been rescued from Long Island grocery store tanks.
- "Itβs easier to smoke weed." Some Zoomers just aren't that into wine.
- Barron Trump was seen arriving at NYU today for his first day of college.
- It's unclear if he's a commuter student or if he has a professionally decorated dorm room.
- That's not how that gun is supposed to be assembled.
- And finally, tiny monkey:
