Black student, Trey Reed, was found hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University in Mississippi.

Not surprisingly, the local authorities are calling it a suicide.

According to a post on twitter, so read it with a grain of salt, both of his legs were broken.

The Hugo stats (final ballot voting) came out the next day, but the nomination/long list stuff took much longer and was only recently released (as I understand it, because that work had been done by the PREVIOUS Hugo committee, which all resigned in protest of the ChatGPT kerfuffle, and a different team took over) after the finalists were announced.

  1. What is your favourite fruit?
    Guava. Close behind are mango, papaya, and sweet sop. I will never turn down a lychee, a peach, a plum, a satsuma, or any berries. Basically, all the fruit.

  2. What is the last book you read?
    Alan Tribble’s “The Space Environment: Implications for Spacecraft Design”. It was a real page-turner. Some good example problems, anyway.

  3. Do you like any of your school photos?
    No, not really. My smiles in them are all pretty fake.

  4. Do you ever blow-dry your armpits to get the deodorant to dry quicker?
    I’m pleased to announce that this has never, ever occurred to me.

  5. What was the last film you watched?
    No, shan’t (tell you).

Twisted Shadows by Allie Therin was a masterpiece! It's the sequel to Liar City, a story about an empath and a specialist investigating murders in a world where empaths are tracked down by several organisations.

The author has set up a complex tapestry of characters for a thrilling plot. I can't wait for the final tome.

 So our old rooster went to the great barnyard in the sky few weeks ago. While the hens do not seem to miss him, roosters are useful for keeping unwanted critters out of the chicken run. The problem is, everybody has extra roosters.  Most of our neighbors have chickens and treat them more like pets. Extra roosters are only good for using up feed, but nobody wants to kill them. If we let it be known that we are in search of a rooster, there could be any number of roosters dumped in our driveway in the middle of the night. 

One neighbor around the bend has a much more visible chicken operation.  They have a farm stand and a big covered run with 30 plus birds you can see from the road. The couple were out manning the farm stand today so we stopped by on the way home from the market.

"Do you have any extra roosters?"

"Sure! Somebody dumped a couple roosters just this morning. Take your pick."

We dropped off a cage, and will be picking up the new rooster later when they can catch him.

Wednesday S2B was so good! :D

It tied up many plotlines, including a thing that maybe didn't need an origin story, but it was well done, so I'll allow it.

Also, episode 6 was hilarious!
