WWe are as far from 1980 now as we were then from 1939. I know this because I read it on the Internet. I didn't check it, because why would they put it there if it wasn't true? Yet at the same time, it is obviously absurd; more than ridiculous, crazy. In the 1980s, the late 1930s was pure history, and all we could remember about the humans in them was the way they huddled around radios and drank cocktails containing tiny pickled onions. The early '80s, by contrast, was indeed yesterday, and we can all remember them with crisp clarity.At least I can: the evidence keeps reminding me that young people can't remember the time at all.Element one: more than half a million people between the ages of 18 and 34 started smoking in the past year, as a way to "fight stress".

IIf you were to drive through Medford, a small town in southern Oregon, you would pass a motel with no fuss. You would see the guests sitting on their balconies, smoking cigarettes, walking their dogs on the small patch of grass, and watching the children laugh and play in the pool.But these people are not typical hotel guests. They are 159 fire refugees, displaced after losing their homes during one of the worst fire seasons the West Coast has ever experienced. With the climate crisis causing higher-than-normal temperatures, dry conditions and strong winds, Oregon and California are facing more intense fires than ever. This new generation of fires is destroying entire communities - the September 8, 2020 conflagration known as the Almeda Fire, for example, decimated two towns in sou...

"We are all ruined," Florentino told his apostles on April 20 of this year. It was a few minutes after midnight and I remember that I began to look at the pictures that I have hanging in the room, surely thinking of selling and contributing my little grain of sand to those most in need. I had bought them from a friend of my mother who signed up for a painting course after her second divorce, so I didn't find much loot in all that and decided to give Pérez's ad another spin, perhaps contemplating the possibility that the president of Real Madrid was not telling the whole truth.People say these kinds of things all the time, a bit out of compassion and a bit because they don't become the first source of credit when someone they know feels rushed.
