54 m. ago Pity poor Trump, whose Nobel hopes were dashed by common sense | Dave Schiling

Maga supporters are upset the president didn’t receive the peace prize. One thing’s for sure: it’s all about himIn this mortal existence, we all have dreams. As a child, I wanted to be an astronaut, until I found out there’s no Taco Bell on the International Space Station. That’s the thing about dreams: they often lead to cruel disappointment. Such is the fate of President Donald Trump, his hope of winning a Nobel peace prize dashed – not by a lack of fast food, but by common sense.The 2025 award instead went to the Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who was barred from running for president by her nation’s courts. Machado acknowledged Trump in her acceptance of the honor, saying she appreciated his support of Venezuelan democratic reform. At least he’s keeping an eye on democracy somewhere.Dave Schilling is a Los Angeles-based writer and humorist Continue reading...

A work of autofiction, first published in 1997, it chronicles Kraus’s infatuation with a cultural theorist named Dick, a doomed, one-sided love affair that nonetheless pulls Kraus, a depressed, 39-year-old failing film-maker languishing in a sexless marriage, out of her personal and artistic rut. After a slow start, the book became a cult classic and in 2016 it was made into an Amazon Prime Video TV series, with Kraus played by Kathryn Hahn. “To me, success would have been like a long review in the New York Review of Books, not being a character on a sitcom,” Kraus says now. Her commercial success was a financial boon, of course. “But who can stand by a book they wrote 20 years ago? It was massively embarrassing to go out and support th...
