Because you should stop snickering at them, here are your afternoon links: The worst highways in New Jersey, restaurant server spiels, Eric Adams' age revealed and more.

Good Monday afternoon in New York City, where Zohran Mamdani is raising a lot more money than his mayoral rivals.

- "Do you remember the way [Chris Christie] lied about the dangerous and deadly closure of the George Washington Bridge in order to stay out of prison, at the same time sacrificing people who worked for him, including a young mother, who spent years trying to fight off the vicious charges against her," President Donald Trump posted yesterday.
- Mario Cuomo also ran for mayor of NYC in the general election after losing the Democratic primary.
- Eric Adams is 64.
- NJ.com has updated its list of the 25 New Jersey highways its editors hate the most.
- Long Island is down to its last remaining all-girls Catholic school.
- Sorry, I blacked out, could you walk me through the menu one more time?
- If you're snickering at that Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros clip from their "Tiny Desk" set, is it because you're uncomfortable with the sight of two rock stars in love?
- The Fringe Festival has gone mainstream.
- And finally, too soon:
