"Actually Romantic": When Displacement Looks Like a Diss Track

In her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift invites us into the psychological backstage of fame. One of the album's more provocative tracks, "Actually Romantic," has been widely interpreted as a diss track. While fans and critics alike often have a hard time reaching agreement on who Swift references in her bops, many believe "Actually Romantic" targets fellow pop icon Charli XCX. The track highlights Charli's reported drug use and likens Charli's critical attention to Taylor to infatuation.

Aichi Triennale confronts war, memory and environmental collapse

At the sixth edition of the Aichi Triennale, which opened in Japan in September, wars and their effects loom large. The exhibition's title, A Time Between Ashes and Roses (until 30 November), comes from a line in a poem by the Syrian poet Adonis about the cycle of destruction and rebirth, observed through nature. It resonates throughout this year's event, where war, displacement, memory and the natural world are interwoven across venues in Aichi Prefecture, located to the west of Tokyo.

What has Israel achieved in 2 years of war in Gaza? DW 10/05/2025

October 7, 2023, caught Israel off guard. That day, Hamas fighters and other terrorist militias overcame Gaza's fortified border and launched an attack in Israel, killing nearly 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages back to the small Palestinian territory. The experience of such vulnerability led to a trauma still being felt in Israel today. On October 8, 2023, Israel's government launched an attack on Gaza, and the two years since have been horrific for Palestinians in the enclave.

'The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny' is a terrific, tangled love story

This is a novel of ideas, as well as, at its most elemental, a tangled love story. Desai's characters inhabit a complex post-modern, post-colonial world and, yet, her own sensibility as a novelist is playfully old-fashioned. Consider the contrivance Desai brazenly concocts to enable a central moment of this story: a chance meeting on an overnight train between the two title characters after they've each rejected their own families' formal attempts to arrange a marriage between them. Dickens, himself, might have blushed.

While on the rooftop, my little boy kept asking when we could go home downstairs, but our home was already submerged. The water had nearly reached the roof when rescue teams finally arrived the next afternoon to take us to the camps by boat, and it reached a maximum of 22 feet, says Nawaz.
