How Portland Lives With, Not Against, Its Rats
To understand the rats around you, look in the mirror. Every human society determines how rats live among them. Portland, Oregon, made choices early in its history that have resulted in a more benign relationship between people and rats than most cities enjoy. The founders of Portland seem to have understood that the life of a city is shaped by how it deals with the garbage it creates. As far back as 1890 , residents sorted their garbage (into burnable and non-burnable) and scolded each other for not doing it right. The law most relevant to Portland's rat population, passed in the 19th century and still enforced, requires that trash be kept in sturdy rat-resistant containers with lids that fit tight. Compliance and enforcement have, predictably, drifted over the decades. But this custom has by now constrained over a hundred generations of rats. Meanwhile, all that many other cities require for refuse is a plastic bag, which a rat can pierce with a stern look. Urban refuse … [Read more...] about How Portland Lives With, Not Against, Its Rats

Texas TV Network cuts away from Jimmy Kimmel’s NRA monologue
Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue was abruptly cut short Wednesday by a local TV station in Texas after he had called out "cowardly" senators for "listening to the NRA ." Kimmel called out the ABC affiliate station in Dallas, WFAA, on Twitter and vowed to understand why it happened. A representative from the station replied to Kimmel on Twitter and explained that it was a mistake. Kimmel addressed Tuesday's school shooting in Uvalde, Texas which left 19 children and two adults dead. The suspect, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos was shot and killed by law enforcement. The incident has once again sparked the gun control debate as Ramos reportedly bought the firearm on his 18th birthday after a Texas gun law change. Politicians have once again been pressed on the subject, and Kimmel intended to pile the pressure on them too. "Here we are again, on another day of mourning in this country, once again, we grieve for the little boys and girls whose lives have been ended and whose … [Read more...] about Texas TV Network cuts away from Jimmy Kimmel’s NRA monologue

Letters: An automated voice is no comfort to a widow faced with soaring gas bills
SIR – My wife and I have a friend who is a widow in her 80s. Recently we found her in a distressed state. She said that her gas bill, normally about £30 per month, had gone up to £170. She does not bank online and her bank has recently closed its branch in the nearest town four miles away. She tried phoning her supplier, British Gas, only to be told by an automated voice on each attempt that the wait time was “more than an hour”. So distressed has she become that she has had to visit her GP, who suggested that she was suffering from anxiety brought on by the situation with her gas supply. She is now taking anti-anxiety medicine and has managed to get her bill altered. I can only say that this is a disgraceful way to deal with any customer. David J Hartshorn SIR – Gillian Courage (Letters, May 5) writes of her energy supplier’s grab for more money. The same applies to our long-term supplier, Ovo Energy. On Wednesday we received two emails, one complaining about a lack of … [Read more...] about Letters: An automated voice is no comfort to a widow faced with soaring gas bills
‘Cream tea coup’ could see five more MPs call for Boris Johnson to resign today
Five more Conservative MPs are preparing to submit letters of no confidence in Boris Johnson , according to reports. A member of the government could even join the plotters after the publication of Sue Gray’s ‘update’ on Downing Street parties failed to quell discontent within the Conservative Party . On Wednesday, three more Tory MPs confirmed publicly that they had written to 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady, who needs to receive 54 letters before a vote is triggered. It now means that 13 backbenchers have told the PM to go due to his handling of ‘partygate’, that has provoked such anger among the electorate. They could be about to be joined by five more rebel MPs as early as today, The Times reported. The latest plan to oust the PM has been dubbed by some as the ‘cream tea coup’ as two of the MPs to speak out – Anthony Mangnall and Sir Gary Streeter – represent seats in Devon. Mr Johnson himself however has rejected calls to resign and said he … [Read more...] about ‘Cream tea coup’ could see five more MPs call for Boris Johnson to resign today
