I get to hop on the bandwagon this year and do an awards eligibility post! I had two poems and two short stories published this year. If you're nominating for awards, I'd appreciate your consideration. All work is SFF/speculative except for "Greyhound." Links in replies.

Rewatching "Children of Men" for the 1st time in almost 20 years and OMG, the opening lines.
"Day 1,000 of the Siege of Seattle. The Muslim community demands an end to the Army's occupation of mosques...the deportation of illegal immigrants will continue."
The movie takes place in 2027.

…there are a thousand explanations, the easiest of which, that 007 (and with one neuron’s leap Bond’s identity) is a code name handed to multiple agents IS IN THE FILM THEY’RE COMPLAINING ABOUT.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Imagine praising a book in 2025 for being "sparse"? Look I enjoy sparse prose as much as the next, but we've been in a decades long Sparse Race of prose that you can increasingly just inhale like a delicate mousse and at some stage we will have to start making adjectives cool again

“Everyone needs a hobby,” Silva says in Skyfall. “What’s yours?” And Bond answers: “Resurrection.” He’s an archetype, a role, not an individual. a human swallowed up by a national myth. Just as every age creates its own vampire, every age can create its own Bond. there’s no continuity issue here

An ICE officer who shot a US citizen in Chicago last month bragged about the incident in texts afterwards, according to court documents.
It’s just one of the latest examples of how, contrary to the Trump administration’s own narrative, the agents supposedly helping are posing a danger to residents.
