When I lived in LA, I spent a year working with the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum. I've been thinking about that place and the Geer family a lot lately... Will Geer being blacklisted by Hollywood as a result of the McCarthy hearings had a huge impact on them!

My great-grandfather was a radio producer who served as a sergeant in the U.S. army in WWII running radio programming for our armed forces in a Europe. He got put on Joseph McCarthy’s red scare list for producing Woody Guthrie shows and had to flee to Mexico for 2 years. my family lost everything.

What the actual fuck. US Tennis Association: “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage.”

Damn... Again I wonder what this means for USA Ultimate... I hate this era of capitulation.

Quadball reddit has erupted over the pros and cons of the lack of a cap on how many years someone can play in college... And my biggest takeaway is how to pronounce the last name of the player who sparked the thread.

Biggest cheer of the night was when LSU’s 66 year old freshman tuba player appeared on screen

The hosts and the Seattle WorldCon committee have both made public, written apologies about this. Name mispronunciations are pretty common for the Hugo's. I'm still a little mystified about this!

Message From the Chair: The Seattle Worldcon 2025 extends our deepest apologies for multiple failure points which occurred during this year’s Hugo Awards ceremony. We provided insufficient organizational plans at the podium,… seattlein2025.org?p=5956

I haven't had cable since college, which means my ESPN access has been limited -- including to the USA Quadball Invitational I produced in 2022! Buuut this new ESPN service maybe means I can watch it more often... But is that worth the extra cost ahhhhhhh I am so torn.

I have to say... I was really surprised by all the name mispronunciations and the lack of preparation by the Hugo Award hosts. I expected better given the prestige of the awards!

Look, I’m sorry, but the shambles of title and name mispronunciations in this Hugo award ceremony is not funny. GRRM is sitting by his phone waiting for an apology.

As respectfully as possible, if you are a Hugo MC it is your actual job to make sure you have the pronunciations of the people you are celebrating down. If you don’t get given a list from Worldcon you need to make your own or demand one in time to learn. This is egregious.

The 2025 Hugo Awards ceremony is underway in Seattle! I'll be sharing award winners as they are announced, and maybe posting pictures.

John Scalzi is a great DJ! What a vibe.

Becky Chambers had to move her reading @seattlein2025.org to the terrace lounge because hundreds of people showed up, way more than the capacity of the original room! She read from a draft of her latest novel, which is a romance. The book comes out next year.

Major League Quadball's championship is this weekend in Buffalo! My heart is rooting for Cleveland Riff but my head is with the New York Titans.
