A career in creativity is the greatest life I can imagine, but it takes decades.

If you need money now, rob a billionaire.

A person’s motives don’t matter. Only the harm they inflict matter.

From the post:

I cannot emphasize enough, given the context, and given the lack of answers to the above questions, right now it sure as fuck looks like a bunch of North American/British administrators heard that Chinese publications were promoting recommendation lists, a thing that is not only objectively allowed under the rules but seems normal and fine, and decided this meant Those Deceitful Chinese Fake-Fans Must Be Cheating, and so threw out a bunch of ballots of Chinese fans - fans who, by the way *paid for the privilege of submitting their votes* - without bothering to even tell those fans and creators.

Gaiman, on the controversy

“I think it’s fair to say that the astonishing thing is how enthusiastically the American, Canadian (and British?) people involved in the Hugos took to censorship. I’m proud of the whistleblower, and am still puzzled by the removal of Sandman Episode 6. But this appears to have been what was going on”

The fuckwads! I went and bought Babel and Iron Widow, just because they were “ineligible”
