That was the post (still on Bluesky) from LAcon V this year's #worldcon for the announcement of the Hugo Award finalists (short list) scheduled to start at 10 am Pacific time, April 21st.
Fränkische Burgtürme auf dem Weg ins Weltall. Der Zeichner Michael Vogt ist, wie erwähnt, von uns übrigens für den ESFS-Award nominiert worden und hatte auch schon ein Titelcover auf den ANDROMEDA NACHRICHTEN.. 😉 #sfcd #nuremberg #derkleineperry #perryrhodan #metropolcon #esfs #eurocon #Worldcon

I will be so happy when we have a Worldcon that finally drops posting on X/Twitter. It’s always 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.).

Episode 157, live from Eastercon 2026, has landed with guest star Claudia Rapp! We discuss the Eastercon, as well as Metropol Con and the Nuremberg and Brisbane Worldcon bids. Thanks to Simon Bubb for the photograph. Listen here: https://octothorpe.podbean.com/e/157-moist-or-shiny/

Some attendees at Iridescence 2026 Eastercon were shocked to discover a Brisbane tiny koala engaged in illicit congress with Cthulhu. Others are eagerly awaiting, by the time @[email protected] rolls around, the arrival of a new lord and master: Koalthu. #Worldcon @[email protected]
