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.

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.

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.

ernest hemingway's writing process was fascinating. whenever he got stuck, he would pick up his switch and play a game of rocket league, but it usually wasn't a ranked match. instead he'd play in casual mode, or even offline against bots, so he could quickly put it down should an idea come to him

If we could could only see cats in zoos we'd be like "OMGGG THEY'RE LIKE TINY TIGERS AND PANTHERS I WANT ONE SOOOO BAD" but since we see them all the time we tend to take them for granted. Don't make that mistake. Marvel at your tiny tiger every day.

I was kind of wondering why even with the Substack contrarian boys and half the NYT political desk working on it they could not find a single child who was rushed into gender surgery in a country of 330 million. turns out:

Bluesky needs more chess chat. 😔 The tournament in Wijk aan Zee starts today and I think the only conversations are about the XR protests against the Tata Steel sponsorship. Anyway, Ding over Nepo by a half-point, probably.

Slowly trying to turn this clusterbùrach of notes, sprints, and rough scenes into a readable draft. And melting into a despairing morass. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmEditing

Tonight is the first of our #NaNoWriMo region’s four launch events. We take this event seriously. 😂 Delighted and honoured to return as ML for Glasgow and the West of Scotland for a fourth year. I have most of a plot, half an outline, and the best #WritingCommunity in the country. I’m ready. ✍🏻🥂

Hello! I’m a Scottish writer, and #NaNoWriMo ML for the West of Scotland. Current WIPs are contemporary magical realism and a murder mystery. Other things: F1, Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics, Patriots, chess, Destiny, books, Scottish independence. The cat is called Samwise. #WritingCommunity
