Painstakingly pieced together from hundreds of small notebooks, most of the new works are thought to have been written in the bohemian bistros of Montmartre in Paris where Satie worked as a pianist in the early decades of the 20th century.

This Town Started Charging for Trash by the Bag. Here’s What Happened

gizmodo.com Tik Root 2025-08-30 12:00:40

Until a few years ago, the town of Plympton, Massachusetts, was quite literally throwing away money. People were producing so much trash that it was threatening to put the municipal transfer station out of business. Under the town’s system, residents would buy a $240 sticker for their cars that allowed them yearlong access to the dump, where they could dispose of as much garbage as they wished. But the sheer volume, combined with climbing landfill fees, meant that this service was costing the l

Higher prices for a lot of popular products seem inevitable on our current trajectory.

US Supreme Court limits federal judges' power to block Trump orders

The US supreme court has supported Donald Trump’s attempt to limit lower-court orders that have so far blocked his administration’s ban on birthright citizenship, in a ruling that could strips federal judges of a power they’ve used to obstruct many of Trump’s orders nationwide.

The word was meant to project power, certainty, and victory. Instead, it has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Within days, “obliterated” morphed into an online punchline, mocked by critics and meme-makers across social media platforms. It has become the latest in a long line of Trumpian catchphrases
