Estos giros de guion no hay guionista que los supere. Que no te dan el Nobel de la paz, pues invitas a los Qataris a montar una base militar en Idaho - la primera de un país extranjero en EE UU. Lo normal, vamos.

"Criticism of Nobel focuses on his leading role in weapons manufacturing and sales. Some people question his motives in creating his prizes, suggesting they are intended to improve his reputation"
Nobel invented several explosives, among them dynamite.

Cuando las mujeres son prostituidas contra su voluntad, hay que tratar a los puteros como violadores múltiples y reincidentes. Que es lo que son, faltando el consentimiento.

Os invito a repasar la lista entera de las personas e instituciones que NO han ganado el Nobel de la Paz este año.

Mi voto era para Franscesca Albanese, la enviada especial de la ONU que puso sobre la mesa la palabra 'genocidio' para definir lo que pasa en Gaza.

In the Humanities, as I see it, extra-dense prose is typically masculine, though since many women also use it, I tend to distinguish between scholars naturally talented for abstraction and those of us who are not. I write clear prose and it's always been a problem in peer reviewing!

Book of the day
Joseph Heller, Catch 22 (1961)
The great anti-war novel that gave us the idiom that best defines the paradoxical situations one cannot escape. Like you know what right now.

La fotografía que debería recorrer toda Andalucía contra el gobierno criminal de Juanma Moreno del PP. Concentración ayer por los fallos en el cribado del cáncer de mama en Sevilla que ha hecho dimitir a la Consejera de Salud de la Junta del PP.

I don't follow you... if you have 20 minutes to deliver a paper what counts are the 20 minutes, not the number of pages. Please, don't be the kind of person who then skips parts of the paper because they run out of time...

El Consejo Profesional de Canal Sur denuncia la censura por parte de Juanma Moreno del escándalo de los cribados de cáncer de mama en Andalucía.

La página de Wikipedia sobre el Nobel de Literatura 2025 lleva la larga lista de candidatos, todos recomendables. Un premio al año no da para tanto autor de calidad, así que muchos no podrán recibir el Nobel que merecen. Disfrutad de sus libros!!

Ooops can't remember... but it's definitely comedy, not gothic!

Book of the day
George & Weedon Grossmith, The Diary of a Nobody (1892)
I’m vindicating humour, one of the hardest genres to write, with this quirky Victorian minor classic, much admired by Evelyn Waugh

Yesterday, in a public interview, a Nobel-prize winner and retired academic told my friend, a scholar constantly promoting his books, that he never reads academic works on his oeuvre. So ungracious! We Literature scholars work hard to enhance the reputation of living writers we love!

As someone who was subjected to conversion therapy, it doesn’t work. It won’t work. It’s torture. I was hooked up to an IV and made to vomit watching gay porn for two hours per week. I was prayed over. Bibles and the Book of Mormon were shoved in my face.

And I 'still' have it, though I found the cover so boring I redecorated it. My barbarian teen self!

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

This is Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron and considered to be the first person to write a computer programme which was for Babbage's Analytical Machine. She died in 1842
In her honour, today is Ada Lovelace Day and is all about encouraging women and girls in mathematics, science and engineering.

Journalists/bloggers, if you're covering a paper or report, PLEASE link to the source or at least name it.

When I read a newspaper or blog that says a "new report finds....." but doesn't provide the source, I ask.....

... How are you any different from the guy at the bar or coffee shop?

Just saying... if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck... might be already a dictatorship. Speaking as a Spaniard who knows how to identify a dictator, having experience of Franco's regime. Or ask any Russians you might know.

Filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie on what writers have that #AI doesn’t: “Empathy. When you have empathy for the audience, when you can be the audience, that’s where the real process of filmmaking begins.”
