Mom who survived school shooting coaches son through Oregon attack: ‘Please be as quiet as possible’

🔮 Michelle, who did not share her last name, sent a bone-chilling string of texts to her boy assuring him he and his brother would survive the bloodshed — and repeatedly reminding him: “I love you so much.”

🔮 At the time, she was a 5-year-old Kindergartener at Silver Rail Elementary School, the same school where John, 17, would unleash the bloodshed years later.

🔮 They could see a police boat with rescue ropes at the ready racing toward a man standing on top of the bridge — and watched him jump seconds later.

🔮 Central Park’s horse-drawn carriage drivers said they feel “betrayed” and forgotten Wednesday after Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin struck a deal to ban the centuries-old practice.

🔮 “As we have said, the owner of the Second Avenue property originally approached us regarding a potential sale, and we recognized that the site’s proximity to our hospital could help support these long-term community healthcare needs,” said Steve Ritea of NYU Langone Health.

🔮 The irate Avila-Chevalier — a DSA candidate endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani — turns to the supervising cop and gets in his face as he tries to hold the barricade, yelling “stop escalating… you are escalating… you are pushing.”

🔮 The leafy Brooklyn nabe miserably failed the eight-week pilot program — which took ASP parking days from four to two — with a little more than half its drivers finding the willpower to move their cars for the 1.5-hour inconvenience, officials revealed Thursday.

🔮 The city Parks Department started accepting bids this week for the rare opportunity to run the beachfront amusement attraction and other nearby rides for the next two decades, a job that will likely call for pumping lots of cash into the aging infrastructure.

🔮 The white bird was snapped in a papparazzi-esque picture this weekend, titillating neighbors who are apparently impressed that he got such a sweet new Uptown pad without even having to interview with a co-op board. “It’s always fun to see what kind of wildlife we can get living near Central Park, but this was far more unique and exciting,” said a woman who snapped a picture of the owl from her West 76th Street and Central Park West patio, who asked to be identified only as Ms. Williams.

🔮 Hermann Merkel was the first to document the blight in 1904 — writing that “unless some radical measures are taken, or a natural enemy of this fungus develops, it is safe to predict that not a live specimen of the American Chestnut will be found two years hence in the neighborhood of the Zoological Park,” the former name of the Bronx Zoo. The blight would go on to decimate nearly 4 billion American chestnut trees across North America, rendering it “functionally extinct.” But the 20 saplings aren’t exactly the same trees whose canopy once blanketed the US — the 3-foot-tall trees planted Monday are a hybrid mix that horticulturalists hope will make them stronger against the blight they expect to eventually creep onto the trees. “These trees most likely will get the disease, and it will impact them.
