Some news stories that caught our eye this week:
At 17, Malala Yousafzai is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. “This award is courage and hope for me and all those who fight for education.”
Shonda Rimes was honored this week and her response has all the humor, drama, and emotional intensity of a good episode of Scandal.
Roxane Gay writes a lyrical defense of bad victims over at The Toast.
Can You Relate? 
It’s hard for me to be excited for the creator of Scandal, a show that routinely depicts protagonists (not the bad guys) engaging in torture, during the week the report on U.S. torture came out.
