The “New York Times” has a list of 24 things that happened for the first time EVER in 2024 . . . and they covered a lot of bases. Here are a few of them:
1. Scientists detected water on an asteroid’s surface.
2. The PARENTS were charged and convicted in a mass school shooting.
3. A pig kidney was successfully transplanted into a human.
4. An extreme marathoner finished running the length of Africa . . . from top to bottom . . . running around 10,000 miles over the course of 352 days.
5. A street-food taco stand in Mexico got a Michelin star.
6. Saudi Arabia hosted a swimsuit fashion show.
7. A former U.S. president was convicted of a felony. 34 of them. Not that it mattered . . . because then, America elected the first president who’s been convicted of a felony.
8. Scientists observed an orangutan treating itself with medicinal herbs in the wild.
9. Breaking made its Olympic debut . . . but it was short-lived. It won’t return to the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
10. A father and son duo played in an NBA game (for the same team even): LeBron James and his son Bronny, who was drafted by the L.A. Lakers over the summer.
