Imagine being a dying WW2 veteran and the last thing you see on earth is your great-grandson invading Portland for fascism and losing to a frog wizard.

I saw that, my eyes bulged, and I went and tracked down the essay. The writer was done dirty by the subeditor. His point isn't that Cash was or wasn't cool (except in a qualified way to do with 60s counterculture), but that as a songwriter he hasn't gotten the same respect as Dylan and Springsteen.

That part about worrying about not being able to go to his friend's grave was incredibly touching. I was completely sidelined by it.

if the Sagas teach us anything, it's that Iceland has been producing bizarre little freaks since at least 944

This was a ridiculous stunt, but it was performed by skeptics. Nevil Maskelyne was a stage magician who routinely exposed mediums as frauds. The James Randi of his era.

a) faðir hans var gyðingur sem þurfti að vera í felum á meðan helförinni stóð, hann hefur lítið tjáð sig um Ísrael og Palestínu

It has been such a great honour to be one of Krasznahorkai's interpreters into English (since 2008), along with George Szirtes and John Batki. I also have to mention the visionary New Directions and my beyond stellar editor Declan Spring 🧡

never shutting up about the handke thing is the one true way

I still can’t get over the fact that in the immediate post-omniscandal era this random outside lawyer got to choose a Nobel laureate

Every year I watch a person step through a door and tell the world who's the Nobel Prize laureate in literature and make a post about it to MetaFilter. Back in the day I'd often have those posts up before newssites had their stories up, but nowadays journalists know about the Nobel livestream too.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature Goes to László Krasznahorkai

László Krasznahorkai is the 2025 Nobel laureate in literature. He is a 71-year-old Hungarian novelist, perhaps best known for his novel Satantango, which was made into a film by the same name. If...

Just heard someone say that if you aren't willing to get arrested or die at a protest you aren't serious about the cause and that's a) not true and b) not helpful

You don't need to have a death wish to fight for a better world, and anyone who says you do is throwing up a massive red flag

Modern religious discourse: The Old Testament God is all about smiting!

The Yahwist God in the Book of Job: Look, dude, I fed baby ravens, gave the ostrich those silly little wings, startled some horsies, sorry horsies, and killed a damn sea monster, A Sea Monster, what more do you want, my guy?
