I’m sure every guy complaining on here about how they haven’t bought a book for ten years because there’s nothing good for men to read anymore is picking up the new Booker winner today right? The first sci fi to win? Right ? RIGHT
I just did! Congrats to M. John Harrison on your historic win!
I’m working on a sci fi now, and it’s so cool to see the genre get this kind of mainstream recognition. Looking forward to reading it.

A woman wrote an AI-generated note in a gift book for a child, and now people are yelling at a different woman who wrote a poem begging her to use her own brain. Four years ago you were perfectly capable of doing things yourselves. The speed at which we’ve given up is shocking.

Amanda Seyfried might- in addition to her Emmy for portraying Elizabeth Holmes- win an Oscar for portraying Elizabeth Holmes. That means she'll only need to win a Tony for Theranos: The Musical and a Grammy for Diagnose My Heart (feat Pitbull) to get the EEGOT (Elizabeth EGOT)
