Ask any pest control person or restaurant owner and they will tell you exactly how insane it is. One of the former once told me you’d need three times a day pickup to have any chance of cutting down on rats with bags on the curb.

The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80.

Politics aside, the U.S. equivalent of the name of the guy who beat Orban would be Pete American.
Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again.
Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

When Elvira Schadlow, 85, of Ridgefield, Conn., was planning a trip to her native Italy in September 2024, she did a Google search for her favorite hotel: the five-star Grand Hotel Majestic in Bologna. She clicked on what looked like a link to the hotel’s website. She called the number on that site, requesting an eight-night stay in a standard room. It should have run her less than $5,000, but instead, she was charged $16,559, including a whopping $4,276 in “taxes and fees,” for a suite. Ms. Schadlow had fallen into one of the traps that readers of my Tripped Up column regularly complain about. In two of these pitfalls, intermediaries trick customers into thinking they are dealing directly with a hotel, an airline or another travel provider, then slip in extra fees, tack on nights or unwanted upgrades, or make misleading promises.

Nope.
This is a perennial problem for travelers. Google knows it. The travel industry knows it.
The 137-year-old wooden bridge over the Gowanus Canal has been closed for repairs since 2021.
And now that the Carroll Street Bridge restoration is nearly complete, there's a rare opportunity to pedestrianize the historic landmark in a rapidly-changing community. youtube.com/shorts/_hN6a...

Remember when he gave them 48 hours? And then five days? Funny how time is flexible like that.
Here’s another good one: the entire nine-hour BBC/PBS series The Story of English is available on YouTube (used to be in 15-minute increments but appears each episode is now intact). It’s one of my favorite things.
