Tabs for February 23rd 2024
- Rome's silent killer. It's lead.

- The majority of traffic from Elon Musk's X may have been fake during the Super Bowl, report suggests. Remember the hoopla from this tosser about bots on the platform pre-purchase?
- Vice is gone
- Review of Powerscourt hotel. Somewhere too close for me to ever stay, but posh enough to have me curious!
