There are some good entries on this list, but the order is crazy, and there are some shows that are criminally missing. My list of top 100 would definitely include Psych.

Finally did it. I feel like my old self. I feel like me again.

Me, with short dqrk hair and clean shaven. Probably looks 5 to 10 years younger than the other picture.

Me, old white man with long graying hair and a lot of white in my beard. Been growing the hair out for 5 years.

Was listening to an older song at the diner and thought, "No. Guys, stop. Eileen has been through enough."

Come down and step up. Look here and give me your ear. You've got a need and I've got a product. Let's put them together and see what falls out. I'm gonna put food on your plate, a smile on your lips, a song in your heart, and money in your pocket. You'll make 3 easy payments. It'll cost me more.

I wrote some observations about the WXR: Grand Finale, which I'm currently enjoying.

Blue water, gray clouds, dark mountains dipping down to the water on each side. In the middle, the blue ice of a glacier.

Today is Wednesday! Last night, I wrote a little about WorldCon. Last week, the first episode of Write Something Good went live. Tomorrow, I fly to Seattle for the WXR cruise. A week from now, the next episode of Write Something Good releases.

Melissa is uncomfortable with me describing Stitch as Lilo's "soulmate."

I think that's it! Probably should have made this a thread but uhm.... I didn't think of that until just now. Wonderful people, wonderful writers, were up for these awards, and they are all winners even if they didn't get a rocket. Hope I can make it to Montreal next year.

I, too, am grateful for thr anger. We have to work together, and we have to fight for each other and for community. Amal is absolutely right.

It is amazing me how many folks on stage I have had direct interactions with. For example, I interviewed Charlie Jane Anders, and they were delightful.

Best editor short form. Here we go. Really hoping Jennifer Brozek gets it, but I see a name on the list that is a Hugo magnet.

Congrats John Picacio for Best Pro Artist!

Referring to generative AI as "human frakking" is ducking brilliant.

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

Just found out I've been near at least one person that tested positive for Covid at WorldCon. Glad I've been masking the whole time. But oh shit. Gonna be very sad if I can't go on the cruise.

000

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

Best semi-prozine. Neil Clarke is explaining what it is, so if you want to know what it is, you should have come to WorldCon. Congrats to the folks of "Uncanny Magazine"

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

Text on screen made it look like that person just thanked Bjork. He didn't, but he could have.

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

Is a fanzine a magazine that doesn't charge? I'm exposing my ignorance over and over tonight. Regardless, I'm super happy for the folks with "nerds of a feather flock together."

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

Wasn't prepared to see Piper's name in the memoriam.

Abolish Ice. Fuck yeah. It is not even controversial to say that anymore. It is morally right.

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

I'm still not sure i know what a fancast is, but I'm happy for "Hugo, Girl!" getting their recognition.

I am now prepared to pretend to be a dung beetle. Apparently they are astronomers, and I love that.

Good job, Jason Sanford! Best Fan Writer.

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

Hope you don't mind my running Hugo commentary. Just having fun. Almost as much fun as that bird that makes drumsticks and beats their nest to impress prospective mates.

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

I think "Best Fan Artist" is just an artist, aren't they? Aren't most artists fans of something? Weird category.

Brian C. E. Buhl @briancebuhl.com · 31/08/2026

Hey Supply Customer Log sounds like something I would definitely read.
