No wonder “Das Crazy” was voted German Youth Word of the Year at the recent Frankfurt Book Fair. Counselling centres for conscientious objectors are reporting an increasing number of visits from worried parents. counterpunch.org/2025/10/29/das…


I’ve studied the artist’s attention to detail for years. It has compelled me to look at things more closely than I suspect I would have done otherwise. To consider her eyesight in jeopardy was the mother of all distractions. counterpunch.org/2025/10/23/the…
