It is such a beating to cancel @SIRIUSXM. When @mikejsmith1 died and I sold his car, it took hours to cancel his service. Since I am still alive and own my car, I may never get this done. Does anyone know the magic number for how many times you have to say- I want to cancel.

[Linette Watkins @DrLinette]

Wow. A lot has happened since then.

BU hires first African American female president! As one of the less than 10 tenured Black women at BU, I am thrilled to see this historic moment and look forward to the direction she takes the University in. #diversity #highereducation #leadership

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Jon Fosse – awarded the 2023 #NobelPrize in Literature – has much in common with his great precursor in Norwegian Nynorsk literature Tarjei Vesaas. Fosse combines strong local ties, both linguistic and geographic, with modernist artistic techniques. He includes in his Wahlverwandschaften such names as Samuel Beckett, Thomas Bernhard and Georg Trakl.

While Fosse shares the negative outlook of his predecessors, his particular gnostic vision cannot be said to result in a nihilistic contempt of the world. Indeed, there is great warmth and humour in his work, and a naïve vulnerability to his stark images of human experience.
