Holy shit someone finally leaked what went down with the Hugos and from a quick skim it appears to be the worst possible scenario: that is, Western award-runners PREEMPTIVELY censoring anything they thought the Chinese government might not like. Clownery AND fascism.
βEmails and files released by one of the administrators of the 2023 Hugo Awards indicate that authors and works deemed βnot eligibleβ for the awards were removed due to political considerations. In particular, administrators of the awards from the United States and Canada researched political concerns related to Hugo-eligible authors and works and discussed removing certain ones from the ballot for those reasons, revealing they were active participants in the censorship that took place.
When the Hugo Award voting and nomination statistics were released, no detailed explanation was given for why multiple authors and works were deemed βnot eligibleβ even though they had enough nominations to make the awardβs final ballot. The only official explanation came from overall Hugo Awards administrator Dave McCarty, who said βAfter reviewing the Constitution and the rules we must follow, the administration team determined those works/persons were not eligible.β
However, emails and files released by another member of that Hugo administration team, Diane Lacey, shows that the rules βwe must followβ were in relation to Chinese laws related to content and censorship.
Lacey previously served as an administrator for the Hugo Awards in 2009, 2011, and 2016, and was the lead Hugo administrator for Chicon 7 in 2012. The 2023 Hugo Award Administration Team for the 81st World Science Fiction Convention in Chengdu were comprised of the following people according to the official Hugo Awards website: Dave McCarty, Ben Yalow, Ann Marie Rudolph, Diane Lacey, Shi Chen, Joe Yao, Tina Wang, Dongsheng Guo, and Bo Pang.
While the official Hugo Awards website doesnβt list Kat Jones as an administrator, the emails Lacey shared show Jones was involved in working on the awards. Lacey also confirmed this in an interview, as did Jones who said in an email exchange that βI did a small amount of work in the margins of the 2023 Hugo process, but was nowhere near any decisions.β
In an apology letter released to this reportβs authors, Lacey wrote βLet me start by saying that I am NOT making excuses, there are no adequate excuses. I am thoroughly ashamed of my part in this debacle, and I will likely never forgive myself. But the fans that have supported the Hugos, the nominees, and those that were unfairly and erroneously deemed ineligible in particular, deserve an explanation. Perhaps the only way I can even begin to ease my conscience is to provide one.β
The emails Lacey shared are extremely illuminating about the entire controversy. In an email from Dave McCarty dated June 5, 2023, he announced to the Hugo Award administration group that βThis is us, the group of folks that are validating the Hugo finalists.β
None of the Chinese members of the administration team were listed as recipients in any of the emails examined for this report, only administrators who were from Western countries.β

When I tell that I LOVE solarpunk
Oh, I remember this, the edit was done by youtuber Waffle to the left.
They didn't just cut out the parts with the oat milk, they skillfully edited over all the god-damn branding and replaced the audio.
But what I still find most hilarious about this whole commercial is the fact that everything they show in this solar punk world seems to be made with sustainable, zero waste and reusable materials.
Everything EXCEPT THE FUCKING CHOBANI BRANDED STUFF! The only plastic you see in this whole commercial is all the straight to the landfill packaging made by the very corporation that tries to sell how sustainable and "green" they are. Unintentional self satire at its finest.
They couldn't even show their yogurt and milk in (basically infinitely reusable) glass containers because they pretty much only sell their shit in plastic
It is such a perfect example of the true face of "green" capitalism, it's hilarious.
The punk in this solarpunk comes from cutting the corporation out of the picture
But what if the reason Link is right-handed in Breath of the Wild is because there is an old superstition in Hyrule that boys who are left-handed will be chosen by the goddess - so out of fear for their safety, children are forced to use their right hands.

@lisxdumbr excuse me as I borrow your tag for a moment, cause we're onto something.
Rent-lowering gunshots aside, I think this highlights a pretty fundamental quality to tumblr memes, which is they're meant to be fun, not funny.
Most Goncharov content aren't funny. They don't make you laugh as an audience. In fact, there's some serious and awe inspiring quality fanarts, music, fanfics, and analysis on a non-existing flim. It's not about making the funniest joke, it's about having fun making the joke.
Tumblr memes aren't meant to entertain a passive audience. The entertainment value is in the participation. And this quality is present in a lot of long-form tumblr memes. Colour theory, urban gothic (short lived but glorious), hawkeye initiative (short lived but glorious), making shitpost arguments into shakespeare, @theshitpostcalligrapher (excuse the tag) and other shitpost calligraphy. A lot of these memes are about taking silly things seriously. And even passively reblogging these memes are about participation. "I can take this seriously too." Or, in Goncharov's case, "yeah I'll help collectively gaslight the internet".
Another big part about sharing it isn't about how funny the joke is, but how impress you are with the effort. As an audience you can feel the love artists/musicians/writers put into their Goncharov fanwork, and can't help but have respect.
This same logic goes for how coffeeshop fics are fun to write, but they aren't funny. The charm for the reader is that someone loved these characters as much as you did.
In contrast, when you look at viral tweets, they're often one-shots. They're very funny and witty but you don't tend to get the same degree of repetition and variations. Because twitter is built for consumption and snappier participation, and the increasingly algorithm-driven navigation makes content more competitive, which means quality lies in individual tweets, and not in the whole phenomenon.
tldr; Tumblr memes/jokes are about how fun they are to make/share. Twitter jokes are about how fun they are to consume.
Tumblr humor is about being involved in something stupid. Otherwise we wouldn't enjoy reblogging Color of the Sky, Color Theory, Out of Touch Thursday, Had to Do it To 'Em, or any of the plethora of "no you mean [initial incorrect thing]. [ initial topic] is [also incorrect thing]." jokes.
They're not meant to be funny, they're meant to be silly and engaging.
Tumblr actually has memes is what it is. Like classical definition memes. Twitter has quips that are forced on the rest of the internet by botnets creating artificial virality. They aren't memes because there's no in-group knowledge. They're just ten-cent comedy you'd get from walking down a busy street long enough to over hear from random strangers.
We make our fun interactive here, it's why so many of us get annoyed at things like 'prev tags' just screenshot it ffs, get involved in the joke.
Tumblr is a community having fun. Twitter feels like a bunch of aging jesters quipping for their lives because the king mentioned it's been ages since a good old-fashioned public execution.
"You see Perry the platypus"
-you're not going to like the short answer
-you're not going to understand the short answer
-you didn't ask the right question
-there is no short answer
-there's a dozen short answers and i think that's neat
-there's a much more interesting question you could have asked, buckle up
-this is going to be really funny in five minutes, hold on
-last time i said no you got mad but the answer is still no
-last time i said no you got sad and i can't take that again
-i've been thinking about neolithic bedbugs all day and you cracked the seal
-this reminds me of something more important than whatever you just said
-i just remembered what i meant to tell you last time you asked something sort of like this
-i don't like you so we're gonna talk about my thing instead of your thing
-i love you so here's the coolest thing i learned lately
-im not hungry so i forgot to do the part of the conversation where i tell you i dont want dinner when you asked what i wanted for dinner because i don't want anything so the question is returning a null integer. did you know bed bugs might have originated in neolithic caves and switched from infesting bat fur to infesting human furs when humans started inhabiting caves and driving all the bats out, and they've lived in our beds for a hundred thousand years. did you know that cellar spiders are almost always the descendants of cave spiders, carried from quarry to foundation and left to flourish for decades, centuries. did you know that a possible origin for the american house cockroach was probably a bark-dwelling species that kept getting transferred into the walls and roofs of new houses and then found an endless wealth of crumbs in their new big square tree. can you feel some kind of love and reverence for these strange neighbors of ours that we built into our homes over and over and to whom humans are an endless and eternal blessing. isn't it nice to think that to a few precious, annoying little critters, we're home.
-yeah i think you should get bangs. life is short and you'd look cute.
actually though why do people rec ghost trick like "just play it" instead of spreading the information that you have two buttons and they are "ghost" and "trick"
it's ghost trick you ghost and you trick!
mystifying that people think I could be lying on this post. you literally ghost. and you trick.

Assignment 5
Photo of the Day: Blizzard Days
Photo by Coco Liu (San Francisco, California); Chicago, Illinois
From our 13th Annual Photo Contest. Winners announced in the spring!
I chose this photo because it appears very vast to me. The whiteness in the middle and the buildings give it a sense of continuing on past the photo itself. The photo also has great symmetry that works well. The simple, winter colors evoke a sense of the cold and rush the man is in to get out of it.Β The man, which is the center of the photo shares similar shadows and lighting with the surrounding buildings, making him stand out against the white. It makes it seem like the man has a story.Β
