OK folks, this year I have one (1) short story eligible for Hugo & Nebula award nomination, and this is the first time I am remembering to actually do an #awardeligibility post. :-) Please think of "Large Emotional Models" when you fill out your noms. (Read free at SMT!)

Starred review from PW, and set in Cleveland. I'm not sure why I think this is a winning combo! Near future, and the library is a library of human experiences. I'm intrigued. (Feb) #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97816...

Last year on our way to a postseason game at Yankee stadium a bunch of guys hopped on and gave everyone on the car a pack of baseball cards (kids adults everybody) and had you rip it open and if there was a Yankee in the pack they all cheered and gave you another pack. 😄 Make yr own magic, folks 💙
Freaking love this city and all the people in it so much….a bunch of people went and turned the 4 train into the Polar Express giving out toys to kids along the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn….shoutout to the @newyorkers.live account on IG for doing this 🙏 www.instagram.com/reel/DSnsvWS...

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

I’ll be forever grateful that so many misanthropic paranoid new Englanders noped out the second they heard Harvard was not reopening from spring break that (despite Biogen!) we actually successfully flattened the curve in Boston. Built a field hospital & never used it.
The fear was that the hospital system would collapse, and NYC was hospitalizing over 10,000 people a week, in a city with ~4200 hospital beds. You have to put yourself in the mindset that this was going to be what happened across the country, because it seemed like it at the time.

It did not "go viral". It was intentionally filmed and disseminated using a network of coordinated bots, amplified by an algorithm designed to spread this kind of content quickly. This was a harassment campaign, intended to silence everyone. Call it what it is.

The Netflix and Amazon broadcasts are a great reminder that live sports is a deeply, deeply difficult type of TV that requires huge crews of profoundly skilled and experienced people who have worked together for a long time to look natural

December 24: The Final Frontier. Or more likely the Fenil Fribtoor. It's supposed to be a Klingon with a bath'leth but let's be real. It's Jason Momoa with garden shears. And one glove. And he mad.

I was digging through my miscellaneous image folder and found this altered logo of Dance Dance Revolution from 2023 that I edited with my own hands in, like, 3 minutes. Sharing it here because I think it's still pretty awesome.

General PSA that tinsel, garlands, and fake snow are bad for the environment and dangerous for your pets please don’t use them! Foreign body ingestion and poisoning are really common during the holidays and can be lethal.

the thing is that some of us knew from a very young age that we spiritually identified with the Huge Loud Glittery Pink Trees Judged As Morally Deficient By the Narrative which made this scene a tough watch 😂 sorry Linus but that’s my truth
