Smelly rubbish mounds create trash-fjords on city pavements, with buildings on one side and piles of black bin-bags on the other. New Yorkers know to lift their feet to avoid the garbage juice that leaks from the bags. Rats feed on the bags, startling even the hardiest citizens.  For decades New York endured this, nay accepted it, but no more. A massive “containerisation programme” is under way. The piles of black bin-bags are being replaced by a technology new to the city: secure bins. On October 11th Eric Adams, New York City’s mayor, and Jessica Tisch, his sanitation commissioner, announced that from autumn of 2024 buildings with nine or fewer residential units will be required to place all trash in secure containers. That will cover 765,000 buildings, or 95% of the city’s residential properties. It follows similar measures for commercial trash, which amounts to roughly 20m pounds (9m kg) a day, announced last month. Container rules for the city’s 40,000 food-related businesses, including restaurants, grocers and bodegas, were implemented over the summer. Altogether 70% of the city’s waste is heading into containers. Containerisation is the norm for cities like Barcelona, Milan and Paris. Cities in South Korea and the Netherlands use submerged ones, something out of reach for New York, where the realm below the pavement is a crowded maze of sewage pipes, gas pipes, power cables, fibre optics and the subway. “We are playing a massive game of catch-up with the rest of the world,” says Ms Tisch. “New York City is not going to be the first city to containerise trash; we’re going to be one of the last.” Continued here Don't like ads?

Only in 1996 did he gain the freedom to run and jump in three dimensions, when Nintendo released a powerful new 64-bit console. Most of Mario’s outings since then have been in sprawling 3D worlds. No longer. On October 20th he will return to his 2D roots with the release of “Super Mario Bros. Wonder”, an old-school, side-scrolling adventure. Sonic the Hedgehog, who underwent his own 3D makeover, also features in a 2D side-scroller game called “Sonic Superstars”, released on October 17th. The retro fashion goes beyond gaming. Hollywood has developed a taste for 2D, too. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”, an animated film released in June, threw out the 3D style, ubiquitous since Pixar’s “Toy Story” (1995), and replaced it with a hand-drawn, hybrid look, dubbed “2.5D”, which mimics classic Spider-Man comic books. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem”, released in May, adopted a similar sketchbook style, inspired by the animators’ doodles from childhood. In a film about teenagers, they reasoned, the artwork should look teenage too.

I’ve always had so much fun doing it. I’ve never had this much fun in my life as I have had on The Eras Tour. It is far and away just the most electric experience of my life.” It's also the most lucrative. Beginning in March and ending in August, Swift played 56 stadium shows across 20 U.S. cities and Mexico City, grossing more than an estimated $780 million and earning the 33-year-old pop queen an estimated $305 million. Spanning nearly two decades and 10 albums, the Eras Tour is more than a retrospective of Swift’s career, it’s also a financial phenomenon. Because of the tremendous economic impact concert tours have on cities, Swift and Beyoncé–who pocked an estimated $145 million from her record-breaking Renaissance World Tour this summer—were credited by Morgan Stanley for adding $5.4 billion to the U.S. economy in the third quarter.
