Because that was a bad mistake, here are your afternoon links: Competitive Excel spreadsheeting, weed gummy recall, it snowed in New Jersey and more.
It's Tuesday afternoon in New York City, where the Bronx District Attorney is investigating yesterday's partial apartment building collapse.
Here’s what else is happening:
- Celedonia Jones, a Harlem-born historian who was central to the excavation and study of Seneca Village, the Black community in Manhattan that was displaced to make way for Central Park, died earlier this year at the age of 93.
- An off-duty Suffolk County police officer accidentally left his gun inside the boys bathroom at his son's high school in Manorville, according to the school district.
- New York's Office of Cannabis Management is recalling a brand of edibles from licensed weed shops because the product — Jenny's Zee Zee gummies 2:1 THC/CBN — wasn't adequately tested.
- In one small corner of North Jersey, Sunday/Monday's storm brought 5 inches of snow.
- Sex is back in the movies.
- The world championships of competitive Excel spreadsheeting took Las Vegas by storm.
- Sometimes you just have to live with rats in your attic.
- The New Yorker has a nice writeup of Death, Sex & Money's sort-of farewell show.
- And finally, parkour deer:
Gravity causes planets to orbit around their stars and bodies on Earth to fall towards the ground.
