Newest 2023 Hugos bombshell thing

[anghraine]

I read the Sanford and Barkley report (not all the emails etc, just the report and coverage). I have a lot of opinions (most of which are currently being expressed by Denise on Bluesky) but one of them is that I do not buy the narrative that Diane Lacey is a hero for very belatedly doing the right thing. She didn't have to do it and kudos for that, I guess, but mostly I think minimal decency is benefiting from contrast with McCarty et al who are so much worse.

But everyone fucked up really badly in racist, spineless, immoral, and wildly incompetent ways and I think the report is correct that they will not experience the worst of the consequences for it.

I'll admit I got a laugh out of this, though:

Just staggering, and I agree. The apology from Lacey outright says that she wishes the coverup had been better!

It's just wild all around.
