I get why the narrative is the way it is, and I know he hates being called a loser (hey, whatever irritates him on his way to the Big Beautiful Day), but tooo bee faiiiir, I lost the Nobel Peace Prize as much as whassisface did, and so did you.

Sorry your boyfriend thinks “foreplay” means the opening band at a concert.

I'm idly wondering if there's a Canadian man who could conceivably win the Literature Nobel someday, seeing as the women currently have that portfolio on lock. Yann Martel, maybe? Rohinton Mistry? Ondaatje?

Why is it always "No one gives a shit, so I won't bother" and never "No one gives a shit, so I'm just gonna do what I want anyway"

Anne Carson is a hell of a good writer, and awarding another Canadian woman so soon after the last one might be a way for the Nobel Committee to give themselves a do-over, after the drama of Alice Munro. Per the announcement, Miz Carson is listening to the wind in Iceland at the moment.

BREAKING NEWS The 2026 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the Canadian author Anne Carson, “for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature.”

Fun fact about square dance in American schools: it was Henry Ford's idea. He thought jazz was too black & "ethnic," so he put tons of money and effort into pushing "white" culture onto children before they could learn better. Henry Ford was EXTREMELY racist. Like, he got a shoutout in Mein Kampf.

How square dancing became a weapon of white supremacy against an anti-Semitic jazz dance conspiracy

“Jazz is a Jewish creation,” automative tycoon Henry Ford wrote in his anti-Semitic publication, The International Jew. “The mush, slush, the sly suggestion, the abandoned sensuousness of sliding note...

Piggybacking off this: It has long been my opinion that Stan Rogers' "Northwest Passage" should be the Canadian National Anthem, depending on what the anthem is supposed to be for nowadays.

Andrew Bloomberg@andrewbloomberg.bsky.social · 2w ago

Every year when it starts getting cooler I go back to folk and traditional music, and this year I've been listening to a lot of Stan Rogers (previously I'd really just know Barrett’s Privateers). This one, in particular, is great: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJQk...

CNN could have prevented all of this by simply reporting the news

If Six Feet Under, The Good Place and QI aren't in the top five of this list, then -- oh who am I kidding, that'll literally never happen. But it fucking should.

I lived in Converse High Tops from high school until well into my 40s. It was the shoe of punks, of anarchist marches, of ARA & zine culture. Was.

As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!

Maybe Ed Sheeran could tour with Justin Timberlake. Call it the "This Is Going To Ruin The Tour" Tour.

So much of his greatest work has clearly come at the expense of his own mental health. In fact, that seemed to be part of the joke. I hope he comes out the other end of this and finds what he needs.
