Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka says his US visa revoked The 91-year-old Nobel laureate in literature has been a critic of Trump's immigration policy.

"When I called Donald Trump Idi Amin, I thought I was paying him a compliment," Soyinka said. "He's been behaving like a dictator."

Wole Soyinka is a riot. (One that Trump's spineless henchmen can't shut down.)

So glad to hear that @chloedalton.bsky.social is writing a new book, Pet, about human-pet relationships and the wild counterparts of the animals we keep. We need a subtle voice like hers to stir conversation on this.

I reckon the more dexterous/deadly the animal, the more likely there’s a roadrunner nearby cocking its tricolour brow and getting ready to strike. Witness: scorpion, rattlesnake, hummingbird.

Riders on the storm: The birds that fly into hurricanes When hurricanes pass over the ocean they churn up creatures from the deep – a chance to feast for predators brave enough to weather the storm.

β€œDesertas petrels make some of the longest foraging trips ever recorded in any species, travelling 12,000 km…
And, not only do the birds travel vast distances – they also put β€˜themselves exactly in the right place at the right time to be run over by a hurricane’.”

Such a great book. One of those books that makes you realize that the topic is much, much bigger than you’d understood.

Lovely iridescence on this common grackle (Banff, Canada) – purple, bronze, cobalt, and much more in the UV light humans can't see.

β€œUnder Trump, manifest destiny is back with a vengeance. Now, Canadians can experience a taste of Indigenous life with the president’s threats to turn Canada into the 51st state.”

Maybe Mitz by Sigrid Nunez? – told in part from the point of view of Virginia Woolf’s marmoset. I’d consider it literary fiction grounded in deep research.
