Another Hugo nomination-time thread! And in this one, I'll be talking about novellas.

(this thread will probably go long, sorry-not-sorry)

in 4th grade I was a big Accelerated Reader guy (dunno if that exists anymore) and Little Women had more points than any other book in the library. I started like “ok let’s slog through this girl shit” and by the end I was sobbing uncontrollably

The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes.
This is the definition of woke.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

Advanced reading copy. Sometimes they call them a galley too. It’s usually not copy edited yet.

Here's my bottom line:

Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.

Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away!

Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.

Today my 15yo daughter said the words every dad longs to hear, “can you recommend any good Icelandic horror?”

Handed her a stack, including @hildur.bsky.social
