Great minds think alike, hahaha
According to the German newspaper Die Zeit, which broke the story, the prize will still be presented to Gessen, though “in a different setting”, and on Saturday instead of Friday. It remains unclear who will present it, what they will be presenting and whether Gessen and other invited guests still plan to attend.
In the paragraph the HBS draws attention to, Gessen wrote that “ghetto” would be “the more appropriate term” to describe Gaza, but the word “would have drawn fire for comparing the predicament of besieged Gazans to that of ghettoized Jews. It also would have given us the language to describe what is happening in Gaza now. The ghetto is being liquidated.”
On X/Twitter, they wrote that no German media representative had tried to contact them, despite the story being widely reported in German media on Thursday.
Supporters of Gessen, who is Jewish, and whose grandfather and great-grandfather were among family members murdered by the Nazis, have been quick to point out the irony of suspending a prize awarded in memory of Arendt, the German-born Jewish-American historian, philosopher and antitotalitarian political theorist who coined the phrase “the banality of evil”, in connection with the trial of leading Nazi Adolf Eichmann, which she covered as a journalist for the New Yorker.
In an open letter written with Albert Einstein and other Jewish intellectuals in 1948, Arendt had, Gessen pointed out, even compared the Israeli Freedom party to the Nazis after they used racially motivated violence against civilians.
“I am aware that this type of comparison, especially in Germany, is quickly seen as relativising the Holocaust. That’s why it’s so important to me that such a differentiated and intelligent thinker like Arendt didn’t shy away from this comparison,” Gessen told the newspaper.
Referring to people in Germany being wary of challenging “the logic of German memory policy” for fear of being accused of antisemitism, they added: “The problem is that criticism of Israel is often seen as antisemitic, which I think is the real antisemitic scandal. This overlooks the actual antisemitism.”
“Something For Your M.I.N.D.” is the first official single released by Superorganism. When initially posted to Soundcloud, the band included a brief and cryptic bio:
We are Superorganism. We are in Maine/London. We are DIY. We are eight and multiplying. We have become sentient.
Using the Soundcloud tag feature, the band self-identified as “chill” and “electronic;” they also aligned themselves with the musical stylings of Flying Lotus, Devo, Gorillaz, The Flaming Lips, and–strangely enough–Adult Swim.
A month after its initial release, Frank Ocean prominently featured the song in the second episode of his Beats 1 program–“blonded RADIO.”
The band also performed this song in the season 3 premiere of the FX show Legion where they guest star as cult members/laundry workers.

Rock version is more chill, Electronic seems to be more high paced over all!
Thanks for the clarification and the link!
I guess you haven’t seen propaganda before?
What makes it seem like propaganda?
Let me know and I can edit the post!
Thank you!

“idk how to kill myself” is an underground hit by yunggoth✰, released on September 25, 2015, and produced by gucciwitch.
Despite the song’s title, it doesn’t actually touch on the subject of suicide or depression. It’s just a short, one-verse track about sex and money.
What if Johnny Cash had been more interested in vampires, werewolves, and the German expressionistic cinema than in walking the line? Meet the Coffinshakers.
Formed in 1995 in Karlstadt, Sweden, by Rob Coffinshaker (Robert Fjällsby), the Coffinshakers eked out an existence from small printings of 7" red vinyl singles and occasional gigs to a mostly uninterested audience. Their first single, “Dracula Has Risen from the Grave,” inspired by the classic Hammer horror film, appeared in 1996. Consisting of Rob on vocals and guitar, Joe Undertaker on bass, Fang on electric guitar, and Andy Bones on drums (after the 2000 departure of Blackfist Bill “to study voodoo practices”), the band survived the audience indifference by the boldness of its idea and the near flawless execution. The band’s direction of merging traditional country sounds of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings to subject matter closer to Roky Erickson & the Aliens may have sounded loony, but Rob Coffinshaker’s voice echoed the same gloomy low registers as his influences. The traditionally performed songs were catchy and entertaining, the Ennio Morricone and Ventures influences cleverly integrated, and the lyrics were…full-bodied.

The song that launched Venice, California punk legends Suicidal Tendencies onto the national scene, “Institutionalized” was the lead single of their self-titled debut.
The song talks about the everyday problems teenagers face and how friends and family can often believe they are going insane or have become substance abusers. Muir recalled seeing ads on TV at the time for camps that kids could be shipped off to if parents were concerned about their child’s behavior.
The original recording of “Institutionalized” was very popular locally in southern California. KROQ FM named it their #23 song of 1983.

The lyrics to The Skinflicks’s song What I Am are a defiant statement of identity in the face of societal pressures to conform. The song emphasizes the importance of self-expression and the rejection of political ideologies that seek to control or manipulate individuals. The skinhead identity, according to the song, is about more than just fashion choices - it represents a rejection of both far-right and far-left political beliefs in favor of a distinct cultural identity.
The lines “They tell you what clothes to wear / And they tell you how to cut your hair” suggest that society tries to dictate how individuals should look and behave, but the skinhead subculture refuses to adhere to these norms. Instead, the skinheads “pull on the boots and roll up the jeans” as a symbol of their resistance. The song doesn’t shy away from the controversy surrounding the skinhead movement, acknowledging the association with far-right ideologies and rejecting them, declaring “I’m not a nazi, I’m not a red / I’ve had enough of your politics.” The repeated refrain of “That’s what I am, it’s all I wanna be” reinforces the idea that skinheads prioritize their cultural identity over political affiliations.
In summary, What I Am by The Skinflicks is a celebration of skinhead culture as a distinct and valuable identity that rejects political extremism and societal pressure to conform.

David Katz from Israel’s cyber crime unit which is involved in the investigation, told journalists that it was too early to prove that sexual violence was planned as part of the attack, but that data extracted from the phones of the Hamas attackers suggested that “everything was systematic”
I wonder if Israel also knew of this, since they knew a year prior, but did not think it was possible.
The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people.
Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on motorcycles and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7.
Then, in July, just three months before the attacks, a veteran analyst with Unit 8200, Israel’s signals intelligence agency, warned that Hamas had conducted an intense, daylong training exercise that appeared similar to what was outlined in the blueprint.
Officials privately concede that, had the military taken these warnings seriously and redirected significant reinforcements to the south, where Hamas attacked, Israel could have blunted the attacks or possibly even prevented them.
Underpinning all these failures was a single, fatally inaccurate belief that Hamas lacked the capability to attack and would not dare to do so. That belief was so ingrained in the Israeli government, officials said, that they disregarded growing evidence to the contrary.
The failures to connect the dots echoed another analytical failure more than two decades ago, when the American authorities also had multiple indications that the terrorist group Al Qaeda was preparing an assault. The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were largely a failure of analysis and imagination, a government commission concluded.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will give it another listen!
