<p>From comments on the YouTube video posted by randallm, below:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>”I surrender!” “Quoi?” “I surrender! I’m your prisoner!” “Gérard tu comprends tu qu’est-ce qu’y dit?” “Non, aucune criss d’idée.” “Tire-le faut qu'on avance pas de temps à perdre, y’a la soupe aux pois qui va être frette!”</p>

<p>”I surrender!” “What?” “I surrender! I’m your prisoner!” “Gérard, do you understand what he said, there?” “No, no fucken idea.” “Shoot him! We have to move forward, no time to waste, plus our pea soup is gonna get cold!”</p>

13.3.2025 03:32Comment on Dragon Award Nominations are “Now” in some sense “open” by Cat Eldridge<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keeping ahead of the announcement of the Nebula nominations and the deadline for the Hugos? In theory, if people are working on their Hugo nominations, it would make sense to see how many could be imported to the Dragons and/or if they are now upset at how woke* the Nebula nominations are, then reminding people to do their Dragon nominations now while they have a full head of steam build up would also make sense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>You have to presume that Hugo and Nebula nominations are always going to be woke to a certain group of people </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->

Most of the time, maybe all of the time, you and I just aren’t going to encounter that shit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

In reply to <a href="https://camestrosfelapton.wordpress.com/2025/03/11/five-years-ago/#comment-98645">Cat Eldridge</a>. <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I started using UD, I installed a mental filter to screen out the blatherings of hormone-addled adolescents of all ages. The sexism itself was crude and obvious. I missed out on these more recent developments – wasn’t using it often enough, or wasn’t searching the right terms, maybe.

13.3.2025 01:32Comment on Five Years Ago by Shrinking VioletHugo Award nominations are closing soon! Have you filled in everything? Do you have time to quickly read one whole extra complete series and come to a decision on whether to nominate it or not? No? Then vote in the FAN CATEGORIES instead! More fun than silly categories like “Best Novel”, (whatever the heck that […]
12.3.2025 20:09Speaking of nominations…it’s Panic Bob time!Both Baen Books and Larry Correia have announced that the Dragon Award nominations are “now open”. The nomination process has been open since at least last November (see https://file770.com/2025-dragon-awards-nominations-open/ ) so what on Earth does it mean to say they are “now” open? The Dragon Award website hasn’t changed and there doesn’t seem to be […]
12.3.2025 19:02Dragon Award Nominations are “Now” in some sense “open”Immigration policy across self-identified liberal democracies has been an insidious wedge forcing a gap into everybody’s civil rights. Australia has made its own sinister contribution to this corrosion with off shore detention policies for undocumented immigrants attempting to reach Australia by boat. Such policies imprison people in a way that limits access to legal process […]
11.3.2025 18:40Detention without trial destroys all rightsThere’s a massive shopping mall in Paramatta (a sort of second CBD in Sydney, further inland than the harbour) and March 10 2020 I did a quick shop for cultural supplies. That included getting a Nintendo Switch Lite, some games to go with it, a bunch of books, craft supplies, boardgames and blank notebooks. Prepping […]

9.3.2025 14:36Susan’s Salon 2025: March 9 & 10The third book in Tchaikovsky’s Tyrant Philosophers series continues the broader meta-story of the Palleseen Empire’s conquests using the same approach of a multitude of characters in a new setting. As with the previous novel, you can read this as a stand alone novel but the shape of that broader story is now becoming clearer. […]
8.3.2025 19:14Review: Days of Shattered Faith by Adrian TchaikovskyIn the 1840s a fungal infection spread through European potato crops. By this point in European history the potato was a major part of the European diet, particularly of poorer people. Although originally from South America, the potato proved to be a very successful crop in Northern Europe that people could grow on small areas […]
