This is fabulous. It is? You're in the dark period. Before light and wisdom come to you. You must forge through it, and once on the other side... you will be grateful to this moment. But you must keep going.
POOR THINGS (2023) dir. Yorgos Lanthimos

Further news on the Chengdu 2023 Worldcon Scandal
The more we know, the less honest the Hugo results look. And there's some questions about how the Chendgu 2023 Worldcon was organised.
First of all, the Numbers Don't Add Up. Literally.
Second, it appears that the Chendgu 2023 Worldcon might have been coopted by Chinese Publishing companies. And that their corporate promotion lists might have been used as voting slates. This comes after a game of musical chairs, relocation and alterations from the original winning bid organisation to a new holding company. I have asked Kevin Standlee, chair of the WSFS Marks Protecttion Committee, to clarify what due diligence was taken to protect the Worldcon and Hugo trademarks. (Information via Arthur Lia and other commenters.)
Third, Chinese fandom is also upset over this. Using carefully selected phrasing to express their displeasure at "unspeakable factors". (Via Ersatz Culture at File 770)
Finally Hugo Administrator Dave McCarty categorically declares that the Ballot was conducted properly. He also declines to explain any of the discrepancies, or explain the precise reason for the unexplained disqualifications. He also stated that those who had any further questions "can't understand plain English" and "are slow".
This all strengthens my concerns, and widens them to the possibility that the name of the Hugo Awards and the Worldcon was deliberately coopted by a publishing business group in China. There's the strong possibility that this means that an unfettered licence to the trademarks that protect the Hugo Awards might have slipped into the hands of people willing to abuse them.
I note that Saudi Arabia, Tel Aviv, and Uganda all have bids for future Worldcons.

Don’t Say “Bye, Bye, Bye” To Your Vision: Solar Eclipse Safety Tips
On Oct. 14, 2023, many people across North, Central, and South America will have an opportunity to view a “ring of fire” eclipse – an annular solar eclipse – when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun! During an annular eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing. To spread the word, *NSYNC's Lance Bass stopped by to share some tips on how to stay safe while viewing a solar eclipse.
Check out these detailed viewing maps to see if you will be able to see the entire or partial solar eclipse. If you are, make sure your solar viewing glasses have the ISO certification 12312-2. You can also check with local libraries or science museums to see if they have safe solar viewing glasses to hand out. You can also make a simple pinhole camera at home with some paper and aluminum foil: go.nasa.gov/pinholeprojector
Everyone online can watch the eclipse with NASA. Set a reminder to watch live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlY79zjud-Q
Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

New Photos of “Uranus” by NASA (2023)
Peering beneath clouds of the ice giant - Uranus - scientists have seen strong evidence of a large polar cyclone at the planet's north pole. Astronomers, using data from ground-based telescopes, looked deeper into Uranus' atmosphere than ever before, observing that air at the north pole seems drier and warmer, an indication of a strong cyclone.
