Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

Me and @markkrotov.bsky.social wrote about Laszlo Krasznahorkai and the Nobel Prize in Literature newrepublic.com/article/2015...
The Nobel Prize in Literature Is Boring Now
László Krasznahorkai, who was awarded the Prize on Thursday, is a brilliant novelist and consummate laureate. But has the Swedish Academy lost its sense of fun?

A 🗃️ colleague at Rutgers has been mercilessly doxxed for being a scholar of the history of antifascism - and his family (including another historian colleague) were prevented from leaving the country last night, in a very alarming development. See below for how to help!

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

Still from Edge of Darkness (1943), a rip-roaring film about resistance fighters in Norway. Ann Sheridan, very un-glam with pulled-back hair, aims a rifle at a distant target. Errol Flynn stands behind her in a pea coat and smudged face.

If I understand correctly she was more of less press-ganged into this circus and has indicated she’d like to be removed if it degenerates into the Jeff & Sasha Anti-Woke Show. Which it shall.
