Missed this when it was new, but: George R R Martin dissects the recent Hugo Awards that the Puppies have criticized as being hijacked by elitists/SJW's/whatever. George R R Martin is very thorough when he writes about things.

My takeaway is that (1) there really doesn't seem to be much of a conspiracy toward any one group or another, prior to this year's shenanigans, and (2) I don't know who Mira Grant is but I should probably find out, because she's been nominated for a fuck of a lot of Hugos over the last few years.

George R R Martin is very thorough when he writes about things.

He and Tolkien have a lot in common beyond the R R.

[Thad]

The official middle initials of fantasy literature.

Much as I love the monosyllabic brevity of "Thad Boyd", when it came time to decide how I'd credit myself on my audiobooks I figured I'm entitled to a little pretension. When you've got a name like Thaddeus R R Boyd it would be a mistake not to flaunt it a little.

[Brantly B.]

I'll be sure to flaunt my middle W too when I'm in the position most commonly associated with it.

Brenton W Roberts was the 48th president of the United States of No More Retro Indie Games on Steam. He successfully pioneered the change of the nation's name, and brought peace to the middle east. It is generally considered that his greater accomplishment was the former.

My full first name is technically Joseph Richard François. One F away. So close. So close.

Too close.

[Mongrel]

Of course like any good Québecer, you have to have four names.

[François]

One because I'm a boy so I get named after Jesus' dad, one to give my godfather a fleeting sense of importance, one because my mom thought it sounded nice, and one to remind me every day that the blood of several generations' worth of rage-prone assholes runs in my veins and in the darkness bind them.

Aaaaand this is going to be what comes up in Google for my name now.

[Friday]

The joke is I'd vote for you (or Thad) over basically any candidate in the last 20 years.

Thad Boyd for president in 2022

[Thad]

Wow, that's a deep cut.

[Mothra]

I like how anyone not familiar with Feminist Frequency is going to assume this is a pro-feminism punk band.

[Büge]

how the assfuck are we not calling it GobbledyGook yet

Because calling them "Gobbledygookers" would be besmirching the name of one of the finest wrestlers the world has ever seen:
