Foot fetish Luigi Mangione’s fancy trial loafers spark 1,400% Google search spike: ‘The new summer footwear fashion’ “I have a Luigi Mangione foot fetish,” admitted an unabashed buff of the alleged assailant.

MSNBC’s new president continued to shake up the embattled network Monday — canceling shows hosted by Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang and Jonathan Capehart, who will all remain at the network, with the men hosting shows in new time slots. Phang, who broadcast her show from Miami, was told her program will end as the network sunsets its South Florida-based operations. She will stay on as a legal correspondent.

DEAR ABBY: My friend has ended our friendship because my husband and I refused to end our friendship with her soon-to-be ex-husband. All our friends (including the husbands of her girlfriends) are supporting her in blaming the ex, including labeling him an abuser, financial user and narcissist. I took the time to hear his version of why the marriage failed, and it’s not consistent with her side. I don’t want to end our relationship with him, but my friend is demanding it as a condition for our friendship to continue. Please advise. — CONDITIONAL IN COLORADO DEAR CONDITIONAL: Your former friend is caught up in the turmoil of a failed marriage. She’s bitter, angry and trying to garner emotional support while at the same time hurting her soon-to-be ex. You now understand what he may have been coping with during their marriage. I hope she won’t succeed in isolating you, too, from mutual friends. If it does happen, you and your husband need to continue living your lives and broaden your social circle. WHAT A SHOCK THAT HE DOESN’T ADMIT TO BEING AN ABUSIVE FREELOADING NARCISSIST! THANK GOD HE HAS A MORONIC FRIEND LIKE YOU TO SUPPORT HIM. DEAR ABBY: My brother just got engaged to the “WOAT” (Worst of All Time). They have been dating for 2 1/2 years, and nobody in the family has anything good to say about her. In the past, he always had stable relationships with girls we really enjoyed. But now he’s getting older, his friends are getting engaged and it seems like he’s settling and feeling pressure. They are always arguing, and things he never did before he is doing now — multiple job changes, making less time for family, etc. Everyone thinks that, as the oldest brother, I should be the one to voice our concerns about her. Would it be too drastic to tell him it’s a bad idea? I was going to say I support him if he can find three redeeming qualities in her because none of us can find one. — NO FAN OF HER IN THE EAST DEAR NO FAN: I do not think telling your recently engaged brother that his fiancee is the “worst of all time” and no one in the family can find any redeeming qualities in her would be welcomed. I do think, however, that as the oldest sibling you could point out that you are concerned because he and this woman argue a lot, which is why you are suggesting they seek premarital counseling to head off any problems down the line. Then cross your fingers that he follows through. A SHOTGUN AT THE BITCH’S FACE AND TELL HER TO GET OUT OF YOUR BROTHER’S LIFE, OR ELSE… DEAR ABBY: Even though we live just an hour away and would like to celebrate holidays with my elderly parents, they prefer to spend them with their friends. This started when my family lived 14 hours away. We’d come home for either Thanksgiving or Christmas each year. If we weren’t home, my parents got together with a group of childless buddies. This worked out great — they weren’t alone, and I didn’t feel guilty. We moved back home three years ago, primarily to be near family again. However, my parents spend all the major holidays with their buddies, even if my family is home alone. Then my mom asks me to host an alternate holiday so the family can get together. Last year, I tried to talk it through with her. I said it was hurtful that she chose to spend holidays with her friends and asked her to consider family plans first. But she was soon up to her old tricks. I’m 53, but I still want my mom and dad. What should I do? — NEEDY IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR NEEDY: Because “talking it through” with your mother hasn’t worked, it’s time for you to start making other plans for the major holidays. You are only as home alone as you want to be. You and your husband could travel or join a local group and do some volunteering for those less fortunate than you in your community. It’s time to take a page out of your mother’s playbook and do what she did, which is to declare some independence from her. SHOULD BAKE SOME POISONED TREATS FOR YOUR MOM TO BRING TO HER FRIENDS, BUT MAKE THEM SOMETHING YOU KNOW SHE WON’T EAT. DEAR ABBY: My brother died of cancer a year ago. During his entire 50-year marriage, I felt bad about the way his wife treated him. She snapped at him and bit his head off from the time they were first married until his death, even while he was dying. Never once did I hear him speak harshly in return. I kept my mouth shut because I didn’t want to make things worse for him. He was an easygoing, warm, fun person who was loved by many throughout his life. Now that he’s gone, I’d really like to speak my piece to my sister-in-law. I think it would help me heal to finally say what needed to be said but I never could. I don’t care that it might end my relationship with her. There are two now-adult children, one of whom I am very close to. Your thoughts? — CONFLICTED IN IOWA DEAR CONFLICTED: If you do what you are contemplating, it will likely end your relationship with at least one of your brother’s children. Before approaching your brother’s widow, have a discussion with the adult child with whom you are close. Explain how watching your brother be verbally abused by his wife, even on his deathbed, made you feel. Say you do not wish to lose the close relationship you enjoy with him/her, but that now, for the sake of your own healing from the loss of your brother, you finally intend to air those feelings to their mother. Because you don’t plan to have anything more to do with the woman, you can speak your mind. BAKE SOME POISONED TREATS TO BRING TO HER, AND MAKE SURE THEY’RE SOMETHING YOU KNOW SHE WILL EAT. DEAR ABBY: I am blessed with two sons who live with me. They are in their mid-20s. The younger one is an amazing young man. He’s strong, confident but not cocky, and happy. He’s in college, works part-time and plays in a band, among other things. My older son is the opposite. Since he was 16, he’s had countless jobs and is (again) currently unemployed. He has been fired from every single job except one. He always has some excuse to blame others for his failings. He thinks he’s smarter than the rest of us, thinks he knows better, etc. I’ve tried to tell and show him the issue is with HIM, not his previous employers. He refuses to accept responsibility for anything wrong in his life. I love him, but he is driving me crazy. I want to help him but, honestly, I’m over it. I’ve reached the point where it’s difficult to be civil to him. The last time he was out of work lasted three months. When I gave him a “drop dead” date to find a job or I was kicking him out of the house, miraculously, he found one in the nick of time. No matter what I do, I’m the bad guy — for enabling him or for forcing him out. I would love some advice. — FED-UP MOM IN FLORIDA DEAR MOM: Your son is no longer a child. He needs to learn to stand on his own two feet. Give him another deadline to find a job or be out from under your roof. While he is employed, tell him you expect him to save enough money for a security deposit on a place to live. Do not expect him to like it or be grateful to you for having subsidized him as long as you have A BLIGHT ON MANKIND. The biggest favor you can give him now is a chance to grow up TO BAKE SOME POISONED TREATS FOR HIS LAZY ASS, BUT MAKE THEM SOMETHING YOU KNOW HE WILL EAT. DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man who has been having an affair with a married man for the last three years. They have been separated for a year, but no one has filed for divorce. I know he wants a future with me, but I’m not sure if he’s brave enough to take the next step. His wife is still “praying the gay away” and still thinks the marriage can work. She sends him biblical verses and worship songs regularly. He has always been gay, but because of how he was raised and his religious upbringing, he felt he had to live a fake life. Although his family isn’t accepting, my family is, and they have met him. My question is, how long do I wait? I don’t want to waste my life away waiting on someone else to determine my future. — CINDERFELLA IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR CINDERFELLA: You stated that your lover is separated from his wife. One would think that after a year on his own he would have become more comfortable about his sexual orientation. The time has come to tell him that unless he’s willing to seek counseling from a licensed therapist who can help him figure out who he is and who he wants to be, BAKE SOME POISONED TREATS TO GIVE TO THE BITCH, AND MAKE THEM SOMETHING HE KNOWS SHE WILL EAT, you will have to move on. Living in limbo the way you are is unhealthy for you and him. I hope your next relationship, if there has to be one, will be with an out gay man who is unattached and available. https://nypost.com/2025/01/18/lifestyle/dear-abby-my-boyfriend-still-has-a-wife-should-i-cut-things-off/ YES… HIS DICK, FOR STARTERS… DEAR ABBY: My husband is an adrenaline junkie who loves high speeds and fast cars. I am the opposite. I hate riding in fast cars, on roller coasters or anything adrenaline-related. I have explained to him many times that I don’t enjoy going fast in his super-fast car, yet he keeps asking me to go with him. I’ll do it sometimes, but I hate it. If I refuse to accompany him, he feels rejected. I have tried saying it nicely, but he keeps insisting I go on fast drives with him. I don’t know what to do anymore. Please help. — SLOWER IN THE U.K. DEAR SLOWER: You have already expressed your feelings. Your husband has chosen to ignore them. If you prefer not to ride with your adrenaline junkie spouse while he puts pedal to the metal … DON’T GO! If he pouts because you are terrified, the problem is his. Stop making it yours. CUT HIS BRAKE LINE (after you make sure his insurance is up to date) DEAR ABBY: My husband and I had dinner with some friends, a married couple. After dinner, we left the restaurant a few minutes apart and, as we were walking to our car, I told my husband the wife was “really intense and sometimes a lot to handle.” I didn’t realize they were still within earshot. My husband pointed out that they probably heard me, but I’m not sure. Can I do anything? I don’t want to apologize if she didn’t notice or take offense. But she IS really intense and may be angry. — OOPS! IN OREGON DEAR OOPS!: Cross your fingers and wait it out. You will know whether you owe her an apology the next time you or your husband try to invite them out. If you’re lucky, she didn’t hear you. Next time, wait until you’re safely in your car to unsheathe your claws, pussycat. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE? (I sure as hell don’t) DEAR ABBY: I need to live with someone because I’m on the verge of being homeless. I have been in homeless shelters, and I have also lived alone, but I can’t do that again because it causes my anxiety and depression to act up. I just started talking to this guy. We are starting to like each other, but we haven’t met in person, and I am wondering if you think I could move in with that guy after a month? — NEEDS SHELTER IN ARIZONA DEAR NEEDS SHELTER: No, I do not! It would be a huge mistake to move in with anyone you have known for only a month. If you think staying in a shelter until you can get on your feet and be independent causes your anxiety and depression to act up, it would be nothing compared to living with a stranger who might be abusive. As you stated, you haven’t even met this person yet. A gamble like this is very risky, and I don’t recommend it. WHY NOT? JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR NAME & NEXT OF KIN’S INFO TATTOOED ON YOURSELF FIRST. (it will make it much easier for the coroner to identify your remains) A woman is asking for advice after her sister-in-law destroyed her wedding cake. In an anonymous submission to Dear Snarky, an advice series by content creator Sherry Kuehl, the recently married woman explained that she is “furious” because her sister-in-law thought it would be “funny” to wreck her wedding cake during cocktail hour. “My husband’s 27-year-old sister decided it would be funny to take her hands and grab a hunk of wedding cake. Like she decimated a side of one of the tiers with her hands,” said Kuehl, who read aloud the bride’s submission in a TikTok video posted on Feb. 20. “Then she had a friend record her shoving the cake into her boyfriend’s mouth for a social media post.” The $1,200 cake was “absolutely gorgeous” and meant to serve as the “centerpiece” of the couple’s wedding reception. While the wedding planner “tried to disguise the hole in the cake,” it still “looked like an animal had attacked it.” Now, the bride wants her sister-in-law to reimburse her for the cost of the wedding cake. The sister-in-law not only “never ever apologized” for her actions, but she also refuses to pay for the cake. The bride and groom’s families are divided over the situation. While the groom supports his wife, his mother doesn’t. The bride’s “mad” mother-in-law is taking her daughter’s side, arguing that the bride is just “being petty.” Meanwhile, the bride’s mother warns her to “not antagonize” her in-laws “so early” in her marriage. THE MOST APPROPRIATE RESPONSE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TURN IT INTO A SHOTGUN WEDDING. The bride asked Kuehl how she should handle the situation moving forward. Kuehl replied that she’s on “team petty.” “Your brand new mother-in-law does not know the definition of petty, WHICH MEANS SHE IS STUPID, AS WELL AS A TWAT. What her daughter did was disgusting,” she said. “It was an act of violence toward that wedding cake. The fact that she never apologized, the fact that she posted on social media, the fact that her mother is making excuses for her grown adult’s behavior, it was very disrespectful what she did.” “It was a f— you to you and, I think, her brother,” she added. Kuehl agreed with the bride that “the least” the sister-in-law could do is reimburse her, and noted that it’s “too late” for a meaningful apology. In response to the bride’s mother’s comments, Kuehl pointed out that she must “stand up” for herself and set boundaries. “You need to have boundaries right now, early in your marriage,” Kuehl said, emphasizing that the bride needs to demand that the groom’s family pay her back THEN USE THE MONEY TO BUILD A MOAT AROUND THEIR HOUSE TO KEEP HER IN-LAWS OUT. Even if the woman’s in-laws complain about the situation, Kuehl said it will be a lesson learned for them. SHOOT THEM IN THEIR LEGS, MAKING SURE YOU MISS THE FEMORAL ARTERY… IT WON’T BE FATAL AND THAT WAY “They know not to mess around with you because you’re not going to stand for it,” she said. “And I don’t think it’s ever too early in a marriage to let your in-laws and your extended family know, ‘This is me. These are my rules. These are my boundaries. Do not cross them.” DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been together for 16 years (eight years married). When we were first married, we had fun. He used to take me out on dates. He knows I enjoy dining and dancing, but it has been years since he invited me out. I have talked to him about this on multiple occasions, and he says he hears me, but we never do anything. I’m tired of repeating my wants and needs to him. I recently met someone very nice, and I’m attracted to him. He’s attentive and picks up on little things I don’t mention. We’re both married and have no intention of leaving our spouses. We have been talking on the phone only. We have had no physical contact. But when we talk, I experience feelings that make me want to be with him. I love my husband and our family, but I’m falling for this gentleman. What do I do about my feelings? — TORN IN NEW YORK DEAR TORN WHORE: The first thing to do would be to end the flirtation with your phone buddy. Then take a long, hard look at what has happened to your relationship with your husband. Tell him you feel the two of you are drifting apart because he no longer gives you the attention he did when you were first married. JOIN THE STRICTEST, MOST CONSERVATIVE NUNNERY YOU CAN FIND. Is the problem a lack of initiative on his part? How would he react if you asked him out for a date? Ask if you may have done anything to cause him to lose interest, and if talking about this with a licensed marriage and family therapist would make a positive difference. Marriages wither if no effort is made to nurture them BE AS MUCH OF A WASTE OF TIME AS IT SEEMS IT WOULD BE EVERY DAMN TIME I SUGGEST IT. DEAR ABBY: My favorite uncle was a machinist who taught me to respect and care for tools. Although I ended up in tech, I still maintain an organized workbench in my garage. I often get comments about it, and I’m not sure how to respond. Sometimes in social situations, folks mention it, although strangers walking by also feel they have a right to comment — “Your garage is so organized,” “I could eat off your garage floor,” and “My garage sure doesn’t look like this.” My view is that it’s inside my house and none of their business. Am I supposed to be complimented, support their decision to not clean their own garage, or what? I don’t feel a need to justify, explain or even thank them for their observations, but there’s this uncomfortable silence while folks await my response. Any suggestions? — AWKWARD IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR AWKWARD SMUG, POMPOUS ASSHOLE: Yes. Leaving your garage door open is an invitation to passersby to look. The polite way to respond to a compliment is to simply say, “Thank you!” NEIGHBORHOOD AND MOVING FAR, FAR AWAY WOULD IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL THOSE STILL LIVING THERE. I suggest you try it. DEAR ABBY: I have been thinking a lot lately about my first love. The thoughts come and go, which I know is normal. A week or so ago, I stumbled upon her LinkedIn account WHILE MASTURBATING, saw her profile picture and couldn’t help but reminisce about all the good times we had together 15 years ago CAME ALL OVER THE SCREEN. I’m 35 now and have been in a relationship for seven years. IF ONLY THERE WERE A TERM FOR PEOPLE WHO GET AN ‘ITCH’ AFTER THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. She has been married for 10 BUT I KNOW SHE HAS JUST STUCK IT OUT THIS LONG BECAUSE SHE’S WAITING FOR ME TO CONTACT HER OUT OF THE BLUE. I’m not looking to rekindle a relationship. I just feel there was never official closure to our relationship, and I suspect it has always affected my subsequent relationships. I love my girlfriend and feel guilty for feeling this way. I know how it would affect us if I were to bring it up, which is why I’m not sure how to proceed. Will the feeling pass? NO Will I always feel this way? YES Will I always look back at that first love and think she was the one I was meant to be with YES, and if one thing didn’t go the way it did, would I be? Should I reach out and try to ask for closure? — REMINISCING IN VIRGINIA DEAR REMINISCING FUCKING MORON: I don’t think so. You and this woman have both moved on with your lives. I see nothing positive to be gained by reaching back at this point, particularly since you know it could negatively affect your current relationship. Allow the past to remain in the past and let it go. DO BOTH WOMEN A FAVOR AND SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE HEAD. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Chad,” and I have been together for 10 years. We have no children together, but we have been stepparents to each other’s children since the beginning of our relationship. Since we have been together, we have had to deal with his relentless ex-wife, who’s had multiple relationships. We’ve also dealt with my ex-husband moving out of the state and away from our daughter. To say the least, we’ve put ourselves on the back burner dealing with kids and exes. We have also had health problems resulting in surgeries for Chad, my daughter and me. He has asked me to marry him only when he’s coming out of surgery — once as he was coming out of anesthesia in the recovery room and another time just after we got home from another surgery. Am I wrong for not taking the “post-surgery proposals” seriously? We have recently become grandparents, and I don’t want to hurt him by saying no. I feel like I need a completely lucid proposal. — WANTS IT FOR REAL IN UTAH DEAR WANTS IT: You and Chad have 10 years invested in this relationship. If you would like to be married to him, talk with him and ask if he remembers proposing to you, which he has done twice. Tell him you could not in good conscience hold him to a proposal that was made while he was under the influence of anesthesia or pain killers, but you would be open to it if he asked in the sober light of day. Then cross your fingers. WHAT DOES LUCIDITY HAVE TO DO WITH MARRIAGE? Dear Abby: My first marriage lasted 31 years. He was a nice man but a lousy husband. He died after a long illness. A year later, I started dating, met another man and fell in love. We dated for a year before he proposed marriage. Two months before the wedding, I called it off because he lacked communication skills and was pretty selfish. His comment was, “We talk at the dinner table. What more do you want?” The next day, I told him it was over. Other than that one issue, we got along well. He spoiled me. We traveled together, and he bought me beautiful jewelry. But he would send endless texts and never reply to mine. He didn’t return voicemails I left for him either. When I returned the engagement rings and some jewelry to him, he told me to keep it. I have asked him to leave me alone and stop contacting me. He still texts me about how much he misses me, but he does nothing to fix this. I’m trying to move on, but every time I hear from him, it’s painful. I miss him. How can I let go of the hope that he will one day change? — Unengaged in California Dear Unengaged FUCKING MORON: You and this man may have enjoyed each other, but you don’t seem to speak the same language. It’s time you accepted that he isn’t going to change. If you can’t accept him and his flaws, assuage the pain of hearing from him by blocking his texts while you look for a better communicator.: You and this man may have enjoyed each other, but you don’t seem to speak the same language. It’s time you accepted that he isn’t going to change. If you can’t accept him and his flaws, assuage the pain of hearing from him by blocking his texts while you look for a better communicator.WHAT DOES COMMUNICATION HAVE TO DO WITH MARRIAGE? GET BACK WITH HIM, WRING ALL YOU CAN OUT OF HIM, THEN (& ONLY THEN) BREAK UP WITH HIM FOR GOOD. DEAR ABBY: My younger sister and I were close growing up. We didn’t have many friends, but we were always willing to play games and have fun with each other. At one point, my sister said she wanted to marry me when we grew up. I didn’t think much of it because we were still kids, and I figured she didn’t know there were different types of love. As we grew older, we did make our own friends, and today I’m engaged to my longtime girlfriend. My sister and my fiancee got along great during the years we were still just “boyfriend and girlfriend,” but after we announced our engagement, my sister became hostile. As it turns out, my sister took her intention to marry me seriously, and even as we got older and she understood the difference between familial and romantic love, she carried a torch for me well into her teens. I would like my little sister to be part of the wedding because of how important she’s been to me, but she stubbornly insists on “winning me back” from my fiancee. Is there a way to explain the reality of this situation, or are our sibling bonds done for good? — TERRIFIED SIBLING IN CALIFORNIA DEAR TERRIFIED: Your sister is in need of the services of a mental health professional to rid herself of her fixation on you. A SHOO-IN FOR THE GLENN CLOSE ROLE IN THE REMAKE OF FATAL ATTRACTION. She should not be part of your wedding because her presence under the circumstances could be disruptive. If she attends at all, someone should be assigned to remove her if she becomes disruptive KEEP CHECKING THE STOVE TOP FOR RABBITS. Perhaps your sibling bond can be reestablished later, but don’t bank on it. SHE’S A FUCKING LOON! DEAR ABBY: I am dating a man I’ll call Lionel. He’s living with me temporarily (and paying half the rent) while I get back on my feet because I was recently laid off. Lionel was previously in an 18-year relationship that ended three years ago when his ex threw him out. She still asks him to pay for things, including an $1,800 credit card bill she ran up. He tells me he’s “obliged” to do it, which makes me suspect he’s still in love with her. Although Lionel claims he loves me, he still does things like this for her. I’m not sure what to think, and I’m no longer sure I should be with him. Am I wrong for being upset? — PERPLEXED IN NEVADA DEAR PERPLEXED: Lionel seems to be a generous person REAL FUCKING PRIZE. If he is living with you to ease your financial burden since the layoff, I think you should be grateful. WONDER WHY HE GAVE UP A PLACE HE COULD AFFORD TO MOVE IN WITH YOU, WHOSE HOUSING SITUATION WAS/IS POSSIBLY TENUOUS, INSTEAD OF JUST INVITING YOU TO MOVE IN WITH HIM. I don’t know why he feels obligated to pay off his ex’s credit card bill COULD IT BE GUILT OVER WHATEVER LED HER TO THROW HIM OUT? and you didn’t mention the reason WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE YOUR LETTER IS BORING ME TO TEARS. (it's raining, it's pouring, your love life is...) Calmly discuss this with him before deciding whether this is worth ending the relationship over. If it’s a one-time thing, let it slide at least until you find another job. However, if he is forever tied to the woman, find another roommate HIS LIFE AND TAKING OVER HIS ACCOUNTS.

Now these are railroad apartments! The southwest-facing pads on the corner of Broadway and Melrose Street in Brooklyn are so close to the Myrtle Avenue subway station platform that tenants can practically reach out the window and touch the J, M and Z trains that rumble past. “I never open my windows,” said Armpit Ahluwalia, 26, who lives on the four-floor of the apartment in Bushwick and can see directly into subway cars from his bedroom. “I feel like, if I open the windows, I can walk right onto the track,” said Ahluwalia, who splits the $4,000-a-month rent with two roommates. The platform barriers are barely 5 feet from the building and when a train pulls in, it’s about 10 feet away, according to measurements taken by The Post. Luckily, the new building was designed to muffle some of the outside commotion, Ahluwalia added, and after six months in the Big Apple from Philadelphia, the trains have become “white noise.” Many of the new tenants share his nonchalance, according to Diego Luna, manager of Maya’s Snack Bar, which sits right below the apartments. “About a month ago, they were having a full blown conversation from the window with a guy that was on the other side of the platform,” Luna said. A Brooklyn realtor shared a video of a $4,000 a month third-floor walkup directly opposite the tracks on social media in December and it has since gone viral with over 7 million views. “My clients were looking for an apartment within a seven-minute walk from the train,” said Simply Brooklyn realtor Zalman Simpson. “I showed them this one and they signed on the spot.” The unit has since been rented, but the tenants didn’t respond to a Post reporter — possibly because they couldn’t hear her knocking. For many — the tracks are way too close for comfort. “He’s up-selling the train being right outside your window as a good thing,” an incredulous New Yorker commented on Instagram. “$4K to hear a train all day and night … pass,” said another. Construction on the corner apartment building, which is on the border of Bushwick and Bedford-Stuyvesant, wrapped up in late 2023 and tenants have been moving in since then. The location was a vacant lot until 2007 and then a smaller, abandoned building for several years, records show. About 5 feet separate the edge of the platform from the nearby buildings. Some bedrooms look out directly onto the subway platform. Curtains are a necessity. The building, opened in 2024, is just steps from the Myrtle Avenue subway station. Trains pulling into the Myrtle Avenue subway station are merely feet away from third- and fourth-floor apartments on the corner of Broadway and Melrose Street.

Generation Z-ero chance of applying. Young workers say there’s no way they would submit their resume for a job that doesn’t list the estimated salary. A recent report from the essay writing service EduBirdie revealed that 58% of Gen Z employees won’t submit an application if the expected income isn’t disclosed. “Research keeps communicating to us Gen Z associates their personal and professional happiness more with the money they earn that past generations have,” Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor at the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek. “For many of them, work isn’t about fulfillment, but rather a way to earn income that provides for products and experiences that fulfill them.” But it’s not necessarily “nefarious” on the part of the employer, he added. Some companies hesitate to share expected salaries on a job listing because of “internal concerns on how other staff may see pay compared to their own” or to other employers. But, he said it “may be time for those employers to reconsider their choice” to not feature salaries on job postings. New York City, for one, implemented a salary transparency law in 2022 that required employers to post a “good faith pay range” for all job listings. Beene added: “More importantly, it may not just be Gen Z in the years to come, as more employees across generations are desiring to have a better picture of pay because of current inflationary pressures.” According to the survey, which polled 2,000 adults ages 18 to 27, 71% of young people in the workforce believe in salary transparency, saying it should be talked about in the office. “This generation is much more transparent about everything. I think my friends are comfortable sharing what they earn, so everyone has a measuring stick to know if they are getting paid fairly for the work they do,” Maddy Carty, 30, previously told news.com.au. She said discussions about pay between friends or colleagues can be “a good bargaining tool” so that workers “can negotiate what is fair” — and with “evidence.” She even went so far as to say it is a “red flag” if a company attempts to bar employees from discussing salaries. “Gen Z has watched previous generations get strung along with vague promises and being told to be grateful to even have a job. When the job’s expectations far exceed the pay, candidates want to and deserve to know upfront,” human resources consultant Bryan Driscoll told Newsweek. “The workforce has changed, and companies that refuse to adapt are setting themselves up to lose out on an entire generation of talent.” The report also found that 58% of Gen Z workers say that an annual income of $50,000 to $100,000 would suffice, while one in four said $100,000 to $200,000 was the ideal salary range. Driscoll warned that employers who do not divulge salaries will probably receive fewer candidates applying for roles. “The irony is that companies claim they want the best talent, yet many still expect candidates to blindly apply without knowing if the pay is even livable, let alone aligned with industry standards and job requirements,” he said. “And to be clear, this isn’t a Gen Z problem — this is simply bad business strategy.” This is why Gen Z aren't applying for jobs — and it will shock you NYPOST.COM "For many of them, work isn't about fulfillment, but rather a way to earn income that provides for products and...

As far as Temu fails to go, this one is by far the most puzzling. For father Frankie, he thought he was venturing into the wide world of shapes with his two-year-old daughter. The wood-based toy he bought for her is a staple to every child’s toy box. “Interesting phrases” However, when the father sat down with his toddler to lift the puzzle pieces what he found underneath left him speechless. “I was helping our daughter put it together the other day! We just laughed super hard,” he told Kidspot. In a now-viral TikTok, he showed just what he was confronted with, simply captioning the post “Not today, Satan.” As he lifted each shape mysterious words – totally unrelated to the shape – were revealed. “Well my wife was the one who ordered it and unboxed it and neither of us realized the umm… “interesting phrases” until I was helping our daughter put it together the other day,” he said. Under the blue trapeze, the word ‘teapezoid.’ So close, yet so far! Perhaps we’ll have better luck with the heart? Upon removing it, Frankie found the word ‘heart-shapen.’ It appears they just gave up by the time they printed the star shape with the word ‘pentagram’ hidden behind the piece. “I gave this video a ‘heart shapen'” For his daughter, it doesn’t make very much of a difference at this stage, so the parents intend to continue using the toy regardless of the hilarious misprint. “She hasn’t learned to read yet, so we’ll just always verbally say the right shape as we play,” he explained. The comment section of the video has now gained over 900,000 views from people who couldn’t get enough of it. “I gave this video a ‘heart shapen,’” one commenter joked. “This would become my most treasured possession, I fear,” another said. A third wrote, “Finally, a puzzle that matches my eighth-grade geometry test answers.” While Frankie likely won’t be rushing to purchase more toys from Temu, he can’t say the same for the rest of the household. “You never know with my wife! She loves a bargain!” he said.
