Dark clouds loom menacingly over a landscape already scorched by days of extreme heat, while lightning streaks across the sky without expected downpour. This is not the script of a science fiction movie, but the reality of dry storms, one of the most dangerous and misunderstood weather phenomena of our time. These events, which may seem harmless due to their lack of rain, are in fact one of the leading natural causes of forest fires worldwide. Their deceptive nature hides a…

The scariest thing about life’s worst moments is the silence in which they often unfold. The world goes on, night falls, the windows of a suburban house glow as cars drive by. Yet for the person inside, existence has cracked; an irrevocable disconnect between who you once were, and the confused ghost you’ve become. These subtle, sinewy emotional grapplings are at the heart of Sorry, Baby, the powerful semi-autobiographical directorial debut from Eva Victor, which tells the story of a young academic navigating the aftermath of trauma. Split into chapters told in non-chronological order, each covers roughly four years of…
Down with nationalism In March, Armani wrote an open letter published in La Repubblica in which he expressed concern about the “rising forces of division” in Europe. “In today’s fragile geopolitical landscape, the true strength of the European Union lies in cooperation, mutual support and unity. Acting as one does not erase the identity of individual nations; on the contrary, it reinforces them,” he wrote. In 2015, Armani told The Times: “I cannot stand Berlusconi.
