Eppur si muove! -and yet it moves. Something Galileo probably never said, but what a beautiful retort in defiance of religious oppression it would have been.

They didn't make it easy, for sure. There will be a lot of discussion about this one. Which is good, I guess.
Not someone I would pick, and I find it hard to believe that among the 300+ nominees there were not someone less controversial. On the other hand, they are all controversial.

María Corina Machado, a U.S.-backed Venezuelan opposition figure, has received the Nobel Peace Prize.

“They didn't give it to Donald Trump, but they seem to have given it to the next best thing," says historian Greg Grandin.

The delusion is that someone thinks it's a trinket you can order from Temul.

As for previous awards, there have been quite a few questionable ones. Nobels have been awarded for singular events (e.g. Rabin/Arafat), life's work (e.g. Theresa), or just expectations (e.g. Obama). To persons and orgs.

And I must correct myself on that last point. Her work for democracy (against dictators) was awarded the Nobel. She herself does however support politics and leaders around the world who are or getting close to being fascists.

There will be many important facts coming. And too many purity tests.

Germany has agreed to stop ChatControl for now, due to huge amounts of public pressure. Good job! The bad news is that it could come back as soon as December, and the German government has interpreted the feedback as a need to “moderate” the proposal.

Ser det er røster som informerer om tvilsomme øyeblikk i Machados historie, og mens det er et riktig og kanskje nødvendig å være åpen med meninger og kritikk kan det likevel være kjekt å huske at hun ikke er tildelt Nobels Prektighetspris.

Og historiens Femme Fatale, bare kjent som Cassi. Med en ukjent fortid, skjulte motiver og et uavklart forhold til nabolagets mer røffe gutter.

Det burde være mer enn nok å spørre om når det gjelder Machado. La henne skinne!

Her name is Maria Corina Machado, from Venezuela, she's working for democracy, against dictatorship/authoritarians. She's an ... Antifa.

Oh, this is brilliant! Not only didn't the orange turd get the Peace Prize, it is awarded to someone the turd would have arrested by ICE and deported, on sight

No, Norway doesn't. Some are having thoughts about what a vindictive little shit might do if he doesn't get what he wants, but most are probably more worried about the integrity of the committee.

In 15 minutes, mayhem will begin. Whatever the decision for the Nobel Peace Prize.
