Early Addition: The OMNY tap fail, a new NYC classic
June 4, 2025, 1:44 p.m.
Because it's like messing up your MetroCard swipe, but with screens, here are your early links: John Gotti's grandsons allegedly up to no good, an apartment with a skybridge, teens don't let other teens vape and more.

Good Wednesday morning in New York, where things are coming up Ronkonkoma.
Here's what else is happening:
- Eid al-Adha starts at sundown tomorrow night and continues through Friday, but that didn't stop the city Department of Education from making Thursday a school holiday.
- "What a mistake I made": City Council Speaker and mayoral candidate Adrienne Adams said she regrets ranking Eric Adams at the top of her 2021 primary ballot.
- Airbnb — which has become the single largest spender in New York City elections as part of its campaign to reverse a ban on short-term rentals — is going especially hard in the Bronx.
- John Gotti’s grandsons have been charged with beating up their brother-in-law, who allegedly stole cash and jewelry from another family member.
- Did you think OMNY would solve the problem of botching your swipe at the turnstile and holding up the commuters behind you? Well it turns out taps can also fail.
- Some Long Island high schools have installed vape detectors in their bathrooms — but instead of facing traditional punishment, students who get caught are forced to meet with peer counselors who try to convince them to stop vaping.
- This Upper East Side apartment has a skybridge!
- Canadians are all in on the Oilers.
- Canadians are also all in on the Thunder.
- And finally, what sorcery:
