Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday that the Big Apple has become “a laughingstock” as it grapples with surging crime and homelessness — and claimed he’s the “wartime general” who can fix it.

Hizzoner pointed to separate shootings last week that injured a 7- and 3-year-old as he decried the wild gun violence he’s been trying to tame.

Macbeth – the famed “Scottish Play” – is one of Shakespeare’s most popular tragedies. More famous than the play itself, perhaps, is the fabled curse surrounding it. It’s a common superstition among the acting community that it’s bad luck to mention Macbeth by name while inside a theater when the play is not being held. They’ll often refer to it as “The Scottish Play” or “MacBee”, and will refer to the character of Macbeth as “The Scottish King”.
