TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THIS FINE THURSDAY

  

Many of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it---and are sometimes sent screenshots---currently hot on social media:

****ABOUT THAT LAWSUIT THOSE SHERIFFS HAVE FILED CHALLENGING THE NY ICE BAN LAW; the LOHUD article is behind paywall; this one is not and explains it in detail: 15 NY sheriffs file federal suit; 3 CNY sheriffs join challenge to ICE ban law

****THE PIGEON PETITION continues to pick up steam; there are supposedly two in support of 'TONY THE PIGEON GUY' and responsible pigeon-keeping; here's one of them Petitions — Croton Community Forum (Not going to get into the poster who is demanding that all the feeders be removed due to bird flu, the chicken coops closed, etc.--just not going there)

****Lots of chatter STILL about the Tarrytown lighthouse miscreants and a how a plea deal could possibly be arrived at for "the irreplaceable artifacts that were destroyed"---it's a good question---but in the end, the outcome is what it is EverythingCroton: THE TARRYTOWN LIGHTHOUSE-2 ADMIT TO ARSON IN PLEA DEAL, AYAVACA, BARRERO

****HOT across local and non-local pages and media--STILL--THE JASON ARDAY CAMBRIDGE DEI scandal. You'll have no trouble finding all this just about everywhere.....youtube, facebook, X, Instagram.......But Quilette has a thoughtful essay on shooting the messenger at A Death on Another's Head

As for the book, it has struggled significantly to find a mainstream audience in the United States. According to Circana BookScan data, Great and Unfortunate Things sold only 433 print copies during its first five days following its August 11, 2026 US release. 

  • Still for Sale: UK roll-out starts 8/27. YOU CAN FIND REVIEWS ON YOUTUBE; they speak for themselves.
  • ****LOTS OF CHATTER about the village being essentially divided--with Harmon being slated for multi-family, affordable housing, ADU's, pot shops, etc. Too much to go into. All easy to find. The planning board meeting of 8/25 was cancelled due to a lack of agenda items

    ****THE AKRF TOD PROPOSAL FROM 2021 BEING PASSED AROUND AGAIN EverythingCroton: AGAIN--ANOTHER REQUEST FOR A RE-POST--2021 TOD ANALYSIS OF PARCELS PREPARED BY AKRF FOR THE VILLAGE--CROTON POINT AVENUE AREA, HARMON

    ****MANY THANKS TO RED PAPYRUS---currently trending and under discussion on a private parents page---yes we know it's NYC but the local chatter has been animated especially about I-pads---LEGAL BANS ON SCREENS COULD COME TO NYC SCHOOLS...MORE AT A Legal Ban On Screens Could Come To NYC Schools | New York City, NY Patch
