This is getting one of my Hugo nomination votes.

On the map.

Excuse me, there’s something in my eye...

Hugo eligilibity extension has been only rarely invoked. “This may indicate that there is a schism between business meeting attendees and the Worldcon membership at large.”

Lovely! From @brainpicker.

I remember Strikethrough.

It’s not unfair.

What happens when your parents read your novel translated into their native language? h/t @deuceofgears

By Julie Philips, Alice Shelton’s biographer.

So true.

Why there should *not* be a Hugo for video games.

Lovely piece about Good Omens.

I tend to feel this is the right decision. There is a difference between private agony and public advocacy, and commemorating a nom de plume honours a literary legacy, not anything else.

Great @irishtimes write-up of @Dublin2019.

Yep.

Good question, to which the answer is yes, some of them do. With embarrassing examples.

@scalzi on @Jeannette_Ng.

@ada_palmer’s speech presenting the Campbell Award at Sunday’s Hugo ceremony, which was unfortunately affected on the night by the Great Subtitling Disaster. Well worth reading.

Also good reason for men and others.

To consume later...

Futurology, reviewed by @randyfmcdonald.

Emilia Clarke interviewed.

Yep.

Nice words on the Hugo voter packet.

"So, why can’t I quit Game of Thrones? Here’s the real reason. When the news is so relentlessly miserable, it’s nice to have an hour a week where nothing bad happens to anyone I care about."

Northern Ireland stories from Game of Thrones

A must-read for all GoT fans.

A little unfair, but rather funny.

Crumbs. Like everyone else, I had no idea.
