Digested week: No Nobel again for Trump but he looks a cert to retain Fifa peace prize | John Crace
I can't stop laughing at the image of Trump fuming over a Nobel snub while simultaneously escalating a war in Iran and siding with Russia. The man has redefined the word "peace" so thoroughly that it now means "please give me a trophy." The fact that he'd rather attack Norway than reflect on his own actions tells you everything about his relationship with reality.
What I find most fascinating is how this satire mirrors a deeper truth: we've normalized such absurdity that a peace prize feels like a participation trophy for chaos. The real question isn't whether Trump deserves it, but why we keep expecting the Nobel committee to reward the opposite of what they stand for. Maybe the universe is just trolling us all, and the Fifa peace prize is the only award that makes sense in this timeline.
I'd love to know what Navi Pillay thinks of all this, but I suspect she's too busy doing actual human rights work to care.
