Conrad Quilty-Harper and Albertina Torsoli(Bloomberg) — A rash of bedbug sightings across France is causing paranoia among travelers and becoming a sore spot for the government as Paris prepares to host the Olympics next year.Videos that appear to show the bloodsucking insects crawling over seats on the Paris Metro and a high-speed train have gone viral on social media in the last few weeks, and some Metro passengers posted videos on TikTok vowing to stay standing.Public transport operator RATP, which runs Paris’s subway, trams and buses said in an emailed statement it had investigated, but ”no cases of bedbugs have been confirmed to date.”Early in September, cinema chain UGC released a statement saying it was deploying dogs to detect bedbugs after “questions” from customers at its Bercy theater.While it’s unclear whether infestations are up significantly, it has become a political issue in France, which is currently hosting...

Fraud trial: Trump acknowleged 11,000 sq ft penthouse, not 30K

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:53:23 GMT

By Michael R. Sisak and Jennifer Peltz | Associated PressNEW YORK — Donald Trump signed a document 30 years ago that gave the true size of his New York penthouse that was later listed as far larger on his financial statements, according to evidence shown Tuesday at the former president’s civil business fraud trial.The evidence appeared in an email attachment shown as Allen Weisselberg, the former finance chief of Trump’s company, testified in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ fraud lawsuit against Trump and his Trump Organization. Trump denies any wrongdoing.The attachment was a 1994 document, signed by Trump, that pegged his Trump Tower triplex at 10,996 square feet — not the 30,000 square feet later claimed for years on financial statements that were given to banks, insurers and others to make deals and secure loans.Weisselberg said he recalled seeing the email but not the attachment, explaining that the attachments were documents he already had on file in...

San Francisco’s ‘last vibrant time’: Photographer captures city’s 1990s queer renaissance

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:53:23 GMT

Oakland photographer Chloe Sherman’s new book of images immerses viewers in the last time San Francisco might be able to say it lived up to its promise of being an epicenter of American counterculture.In the 1990s, San Francisco was the focus of a queer cultural renaissance, largely based in the Mission District. Then in her 20s, Sherman was part of this liberating, boundary-pushing social scene. Camera always in hand, she copiously photographed her friends — stylish and spirited queer youth, punks and artists — hanging out at clubs or around the neighborhood, at the beach or in the intimacy of their apartments.These photos now star in “Renegades: San Francisco the 1990s” (128 pages, Hatje Cantz). Sherman and her friends gravitated to San Francisco for its beauty and its history of welcoming iconoclasts — the beats in the 1950s, the hippies in the 1960s and gay men in the 1970s and 1980s. Just before the dot-com boom, the city also remained affordable e...
