Time for my annual reminder that no non-American editor has _ever_ won a Best Professional Editor Hugo award. Which is insane.

Yes, not even one single British editor, despite many high-profile repeat finalists.

It seems unbelievable that no work of fiction by @annaleen.bsky.social has previously been on the shortlist for a Hugo.

A fake install screen for Microsoft Windows 95. On the left quarter of the page is a teal panel showing the old wavy Windows logo, with "Microsoft Windows 95" written up its right side. In the remaining space of the page, in black serif text on a white background, is the following text: Title: Enjoy This While It Lasts One of these days, the idea of just putting Windows on your computer will be a distant memory.

Adware installed by the manufacturer is "unthinkable?" Better start thinkin' it, buddy, 'cause that's FAR from the worst thing we're shoving into your PC. We'll even try to make you use a fake digital person that plagiarizes art and books and also lies to you. Welcome to the future, motherfucker. You should probably just use Linux Mint instead.

Australia’s coalmine emissions are increasing. Is this how a major policy to cut climate pollution is meant to work? The Albanese government overhauled policy and promised significant pollution cuts – but carbon offsets are still being used as an excuse

Yesterday I was suspended from the Commons and escorted off the parliamentary estate for calling the Prime Minister a barefaced liar.

I would do it again.
