I’ve had a rather unproductive evening with my daughter being absolutely crazy for yet another late night. So, to relieve my stress, I resort to silly videos on YouTube. Here are some silly videos for you to enjoy.
Just some Rob Cantor and Screen Junkies.
With all the controversy surrounding this year’s Hugo Awards, I found it interesting to watch the presentation of the awards on Livestream. If you want, you can watch it here.
The highlights were the multiple times they announced no winners due to a revolt against the Sad Puppies, a group of right-wing conservative science fiction authors who managed to nominate a bunch of hard sci-fi written by conservative authors who want nothing to do with female characters, gay and lesbian characters, or a growing international group of writers. Well, their efforts backfired, and several groups weren’t even awarded.
The big thing in these awards was that the winner, The Three Body Problem, by Liu Cixin, is the first translated novel to win the award. It was written by a Chinese author, and it looks pretty interesting.
Oh, and another thing, I loved the Dalek’s last line. Very funny. You have to see it.
What did you think of the awards, winners, and controversy?
