Speaking of "de minimus"... a limerick we all heard in law school re the Latin legal principle meaning "The law does not concern itself with trifles": There once was a lawyer named Rex With minuscule organs of sex. Arraigned for exposure, He maintained with composure, "De minimis non curat lex."

Congratulations to Jon Fosse! But doesn't this read like parody? "writes in Nynorsk, one of the two official written versions of Norwegian...used by just 10% of the country’s 5.4 million...The final volume in [his] seven-novel exploration of life, death and spirituality contains no sentence breaks."

The Nobel literature prize goes to Norway's Jon Fosse, who once wrote a novel in a single sentence

Fosse, 64, has written some 40 plays as well as novels, short stories, children’s books, poetry and essays.

3 in my back yard (quiet hood, middle of town) 2 night ago saw me watching through window. They never broke eye contact. Other critters'll look away & leave but coyotes lowered heads while keeping eyes on me, didn't go till I did. I like it when they howl at night but up close they were a bit creepy

Good point!

A September 27 post from "The Corodon" that reads "In retrospect you probably shouldn't go up against writers in a contest of who can keep doing something longer while not making any money."

RIP DiFi. A stalwart for gay rights & women's rights, constant advocate for gun control--one of the few who got a law passed--she was a hero in the SF Bay area. Someone posted this photo on X, saying, "When you needed help in San Francisco, you didn't call the Marines--you called Dianne Feinstein."

Photo of Dianne Feinstein in the 1970s or early 1980s marching in a parade in front of a Gay Power/Harvey Milk Lives placard.
