(Almost) Puppy Free Hugo

[rogin]

Just saw the Hugo short list published and though I did not follow the puppy drama of the year too closely it looks like there is mostly real stuff on the ballot this year (just one puppy nom per category).

Is this a consequence of EPH or is the stupid puppy thing finally dying?


Ah, i read up on it, so Beale had one nom per category this year...and the sads basically don't exist anymore, ironically just like figleave moderate republicans.

I think what activity there was ended up as simply being a longlist of "here is some stuff we like and think is by politically acceptable writers that you might want to vote for", which nobody would see as particularly objectionable.
