7 d. ago American democracy might not survive another year – is Europe ready for that? | Alexander Hurst

Trapped between Putin and Trump, EU citizens understand the grave dangers facing the continent. Their leaders urgently need to face reality, tooFascism is supposed to look a certain way: black-clad, uniformed, synchronised and menacing. It is not supposed to look like an overweight president who can’t pronounce acetaminophen and who bumbles, for a full minute, about how he would have renovated the UN’s New York headquarters with marble floors, rather than a terrazzo. But as Umberto Eco remarked in his timeless essay on identifying the eternal nature of fascism: “Life is not that simple. Ur-Fascism can come back under the most innocent of disguises.”Historians, scholars and even some insiders from the first Trump administration have seen through the comedic quality of the disguise. They appear to have seen in Donald Trump himself and those around him, Eco’s core criteria: the call to tradition and the rejection of reason, the fear of difference, the hostility towards disagreement, th...

1 week ago If you’re not using an eSIM when you travel, you’re getting ripped off

Say goodbye to extortionate roaming fees – new companies like Airalo, Holafly and Saily offer cheap, easy coverage for your next international tripOn a week-long trip to Paris last year, I racked up nearly $100 in data charges on my iPhone, with taxes and fees. Ditto for a separate, eight-day trip to Spain, which was even more pricey. And, in what I now jokingly call an act of piracy, my three-week trip to seven countries – including a seven-day cruise – cost me over $300 for data.I (eventually) learned my lesson, and a little research yielded a simple solution that can make life a lot easier: Switching to a local carrier for your travels. This used to entail a visit to an airport kiosk or a mobile store to get a fingernail-sized plastic SIM chip installed in your phone, but a new feature called an eSIM lets you handle it all from your phone before you even leave. My eSim for Paris cost $11 for 5GB of data, plenty for checking emails, using Google Maps, and browsing social media (al...

3 w. ago Truman Show echoes at Manchester United mean Amorim must be afforded missteps | Jamie Jackson

Ruben Amorim inherited a mess but his position being under threat so early is simply life in football’s hottest seatSoap opera, wall-to‑wall media coverage, a sporting Truman Show and real-life panopticon. Ruben Amorim, like those before him, blinks in the glare of the endless fascination with Manchester United’s leading man, and may wonder whether this is the impossible job.Three games into a first full campaign the 40-year-old seemed to believe so. The desultory 12-11 Carabao Cup penalty shootout defeat at Grimsby followed a 1-0 loss to Arsenal and 1-1 draw at Fulham. Three matches, zero wins, and the executioner’s song began to wail for the Portuguese’s job security. Continue reading...

4 w. ago From Ground Zero: Stories From Gaza review – scenes of ordinary life in extremis

This heartbreaking collection of short films mentions neither ‘Israel’ nor ‘Hamas’, instead offering a mosaic of everyday living under nonstop attackThis collection of short films from Gaza film-makers gives a mosaic of images, ideas and microvignettes of what life is like for civilians under nonstop attack, sometimes improvising semi-fictionalised scenes within the scenes of devastation. It is a humanitarian artistic project in which the words “Hamas” and “Israel” are not mentioned; instead we hear the voices of young and old, male and female, people for whom the violence and the grief have become part of the fabric of everyday life. Perhaps the simple fact of life going on there, with stoicism and often with humour, is a remarkable thing in itself.In Nidal Damo’s Everything Is Fine, a budding standup comedian wanders around, wondering how to ply his trade when all the venues are rubble; a class of schoolkids learn how to create stop-motion animation about their lives in Khamis Mas...
