I mean, he’s right that it will define him for this chapter of his life. Just maybe not in a positive way.

The Oxford comma, ladies and gentlemen.

They just up and admitted it.

NYT headline: the ICC issued arrest warrants for prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a former Israeli defense minister and the Hamas military chief.

(The joke is the lack of the Oxford comma which makes the PM also the Hamas military chief)

This is how I feel about Sandman Episode 6, with the addition that it wouldn't have been my award, but an award for everyone who made it. That the episode was deemed mysteriously ineligible just makes the 2023 Hugo Awards feel shady.

statement

I initially planned to say nothing about Babel’s inexplicable disqualification from the Hugo Awards. But I believe that these cases thrive on ambiguities, the lingering question marks, the answers that aren’t answers. I wish to clarify that no reason for Babel’s ineligibility was given to me or my team. I did not decline a nomination, as no nomination was offered.

Until one is provided that explains why the book was eligible for the Nebula and Locus awards, which it won, and not the Hugos, I assume this was a matter of undesirability rather than ineligibility. Excluding “undesirable” work is not only embarrassing for all involved parties, but renders the entire process and organization illegitimate. Pity.

That’s all from me. I have books to write.

Although we're all making fun of DeSantis's humiliation, we shouldn't forget that his anti-vax crusade — in service of his doomed run — probably killed thousands of people

A delightful conclusion to months of watching Ron DeSantis just absolutely eat shit in every possible way

Farewell DeSantis. I thought his concession speech was beautiful:

tweet by @drewjanda that reads "The haters said I couldn't do it. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters."

It was less than nine years ago, a day Brad and I will never forget. We must teach the history so we never go back.

Screenshot of a social post by Jess Piper ('@piper4missouri' on the social platform 'X'). The post says: 'My Gen Alpha daughter and I were watching a documentary. The narrator talked about gay marriage becoming legal. She looked at me in wonder and said wait! Gay people couldn’t marry each other?!?! God love these kids…they are coming!'

Getting suspicious that the reason the world is so bad for everyone right now is because we all ignored the chain emails in 2005 & didn't forward them to 10 of our closest friends.

German Word of the day is “verschlimmbessern”, the act of making things worse by endlessly changing them around to make them better.
Which is what I am doing to the text I am writing right now.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Royalty was like dandelions. No matter how many heads you chopped off, the roots were still there underground, waiting to spring up again.

It seemed to be a chronic disease. It was as if even the most intelligent person had this little blank spot in their heads where someone had written: "Kings. What a good idea." Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw. It was its tendency to bend at the knees.
