Best Novellete: The Year without sunshine

Plot: EV-cuckfiction after a "major disaster in Minneapolis" (lol) torture your eyes here for entire story https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-year-without-sunshine/

Best Short Story: Better living through algorithms

Plot: In this near future a journ*lists hears about a new app that apparently is great at helping people to be more productive and happier. At first she thinks it sounds like a cult thing with how every user talks about it a bit too passionately. She tries it though and the key element is that the app is built around a community where other users are instructed to make real phone calls to other users. Like telling them it is time to wake up and remind them of their personal goals. This turns out to be quite effective. As we all know, the motivation to actually do something is low if it is just an app telling you, but if you have a friend waiting for you at the gym - then you have to go.

Journo foid nonsense (btw this is written by the same foid as the last one)

Best Series: Imperial Radch

Plot : Anne Leckie's excellent Imperial Radch trilogy: Ancillary Justice, Ancillary Mercy and Ancillary Sword. It's a great SciFi series, but also quite political, addressing questions around imperialism, workers' rights and especially gender.

why does everything have to be gay

Sounds like a story written by a person who experiences almost the entirety of their life through a screen

the family you find

More like the awards am I right fellow dramatards ?

Imagine reading scifi anything not written by Isaac Asimov or my personal GOAT Larry Niven. Just got done another re-read of The Draco Tavern

Me using the term "found family" to pitch my book with zero LGBT characters

Literature, television, music, movies, and theater aren't worth consuming if created post 1990

I thought there was some drama awhile back where these particular awards had to go chuddy because they didn't want to offend China or some shit. I might be thinking of something completely different.

good to know it's another award trashing its legacy and losing any relevancy it might have had I suppose.

how come is not even nominated? I demand a recount

Nobody cares any more. I hope some awful media company wastes millions turning one of these books into a TV show everyone hates and no-one watches.

What a grim state of the industry.

Rabid Puppies win again

Which year can one start ignoring Hugo award winners? I like some of the old timey scifi…not sure when they got completely asinine, but trying to discern what's a good cutoff date.

Who?

Jesus fricking christ these are awful, how the heck did Scifi get infested with foids and I made it through 2 paragraphs of the EV story before wanting to rope. It's so god darn bad.

Alexa, schedule an extra dose of soy tomorrow. I'm feeling toxic. 🤒🤒🤒
