I feel like I am safe in saying that we are not thriving on our changing planet – and we will not in the coming decadesMy house in Altadena burned down in the wildfires on Wednesday. It all happened quickly. On Tuesday around 7pm, my wife and daughters went to a hotel as a precaution. I left the house with the dogs when the mandatory evacuation order came in around 3am. As best as I can put the timeline together, our home burned down around the same time that the sun came up, and I was able to drive in and see the damage around 2pm.Neighbors that went in after said it looked like a “war zone”. I have never been in a war zone thankfully, but I didn’t think so. There was nothing violent or chaotic about it. No one stopped me from driving in. There were no sirens. I stood alone – no one else around – in front of my house that was at that point just a fireplace and chimney. The house across the street was about halfway done with burning down, and the house behind ours had just started t...

Killing people with paperwork instead of a gun doesn’t make you any less of a murdererAt this very moment Luigi Mangione, who is accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO last month, is sitting in a federal jail cell in Brooklyn. He’s got a barrage of court appearances scheduled and, once he has wound his way through the criminal justice system, he could be behind bars for the rest of his life.Which, of course, is as it should be. While there are a lot of reasons that many people find the 26-year-old alleged assassin sympathetic, you can’t just gun a CEO down outside a hotel in Manhattan and face no consequences for it. And Mangione, who is, by all accounts, an extremely smart guy with an Ivy League education, should really have known better. He should have known that if he wanted to murder someone – and get away with it – there were far more socially acceptable ways of doing so.Arwa Mahdawi is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...

To think, until nearly the end of the last century, everyone had to write like thisI have come away without a laptop so, for the first time in 35 years, I have been forced to write something using pen and paper. My last attempt, for my finals at university rather than an online column, didn’t go well. I thought I was going to get a first and was bitterly disappointed with a 2:2. The problem may have been that the examiners were unable to read my handwriting. It may also have been the case that my answers weren’t very good.Writing in ink – be it using a pen or a typewriter – turns out to be shockingly different from writing on a computer. For a start, you can’t write down any old tosh with the intention of sorting it out later. Well, I suppose you could, but it would be tricky, with all sorts of crossings-out and stuff. So, alarmingly, you have to apply some thought to the matter. You have to think through the next sentence, from beginning to end, before you put pen to paper, and als...
