. @washingtonpost.com writes that "during the reading of the names, Trump at times appeared to be struggling to keep his eyes open." Do you see him struggling? Because I don't see him struggling.

Best wishes for 2026 to all! My quote for the new year comes from @zadiesmith.bsky.social , who spoke the following words when she accepted a literary prize in Germany 9 years ago:

If novelists know anything it’s that individual citizens are internally plural: they have within them the full range of behavioral possibilities. They are like complex musical scores from which certain melodies can be teased out and others ignored or suppressed, depending, at least in part, on who is doing the conducting. At this moment, all over the world—and most recently in America—the conductors standing in front of this human orchestra have only the meanest and most banal melodies in mind. Here in Germany you will remember these martial songs; they are not a very distant memory. But there is no place on earth where they have not been played at one time or another. Those of us who remember, too, a finer music must try now to play it, and encourage others, if we can, to sing along.
