How very Sam Altman to propose his earlier scam as a panacea for the problems created by his current scam https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp9vppem4evo #ai #openai #samaltman #scamaltman #worldcoin #worldcon #tinder #zoom

I will be so happy when we have a Worldcon that finally drops posting on X/Twitter. It’s always a little disappointing to see that our community is still hanging out in the Nazi bar. I would argue — and did, for Seattle 2025, though I didn’t prevail — that the benefit of setting an example and standing up for our professed values by not posting there is worth more than what little promotion that cesspool of a platform provides.
And yes, I know that there are still a lot of authors there. That’s disappointing, too.

Nagroda Hugo jest jedną z najstarszych i najważniejszych tradycji fandomu SF na świecie. Ustanowiona w 1953, jest przyznawana co roku przez uczestników aktualnego Worldconu, na podstawie nominacji uczestników poprzedniego Worldconu. Początkowo zarezerwowana dla fantastyki pisanej, obecnie przyznawana jest również dziełom dramatycznym (filmy, seriale, spektakle), artystom wizualnym czy promotorom (fanziny, podcasy itp.). -

Der HeiCon ´70 war der bisher einzige WoldCon auf deutschem Boden. Nun macht sich eine stetig wachsende Schaar Fans auf, dieses weltereigneis erneut nach Deutschland, und zwar nach Nürnberg aufs Messegelände, zu holen. War jemand schon 1970 dabei? 😉 #sfcd #heicon #worldcon #nuernberg

@skribe Works became eligible for Retro Hugos at 50, 75, or 100 years after their publication date if there were no Hugo awards nominated for their publication year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Award#Retro-Hugos).
As LOTR was published between 1954 and 1955 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings), that would have made the individual books eligible in 2004/2005, but they wouldn't have been eligible again until 2029/2030 or 2054/2055.
Retro Hugos started in 1996 and were optional; it was up to that year's Hugo committee as to whether or not they'd award them.
Noreascon 4 (2004's Worldcon) did award Retro Hugos for 1954; neither TFotR nor TTT were nominated (https://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/1954-retro-hugo-awards/). I can't speak to why (that was before I started paying attention to the Hugos); it's possible that they were nominated, but not in sufficient numbers to make the final ballot.
The Hugo award was awarded in 1955, so TRotK would not have been eligible for a Retro Hugo. Nominations for the 1955 Hugos are not listed on the award's official site, so I don't know if TRotK was nominated that year (https://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/1955-hugo-awards/).
This past year the Hugo awards were officially removed from the WSFS constitution, so no further Retro Hugos will be awarded.
