Just another Sunday night

After his latest blog post, explaining what's gone wrong with the Hugos this year for people who've seen the outrage but weren't previously clued-up and now want to know what their friends are talking about, Andrew's been invited onto some podcast so he's on Skype downstairs.

...I'm trying to read and I keep hearing him yelling things like "the Futurians were Trotskyists!"

It's slightly distracting, but I so very approve of this. If nothing else, it means he's explaining things that bother him in great detail to Americans who aren't me!

That sounds like a fun discussion just from the intersections that make it up to you.

I suspect the Hugo nominations are proving the maxim about not underestimating the power of stupid people in large groups. As many of these other reactionary elements have done.

Oh, I thoroughly approve of that blog and everything it says!

[cosmolinguist]

I'm amused that it's proving to be by far the most-read blog post he's ever written.

It's a good blog post. Just a shame that it's necessary.

[cosmolinguist]

Yes I think it's because it's so necessary, rather than because it's particularly well-crafted, that has made it so popular.

Ah, thanks for linking to that! It all makes sense now. Or no sense at all, stupid Sad Puppies :/

[cosmolinguist]

Yeah, quite. Glad to help, anyway.

Sometimes I think the Daleks are right, they just have the wrong targets...
