It's hard to explain, but somehow, certainly for me, while winning an award is marvellous, not winning isn't the polar opposite. A shortlist place is an accolade in itself.
Had a splendid time at the British Fantasy Awards, among friends and colleagues being honoured with shortlists and awards recognising hard work and talent across the SF&F community. Delighted to be shortlisted for best fantasy novel alongside excellent books and congratulations to O. O. Sangoyomi 😁

This guy just rocketed to the top of the "Next Prime Minister" shortlist
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

Rather surprised to find myself in the shortlist for Close Up Photographer of the Year on a first attempt with this blue boat from Gairloch. Now I need to come up with a name for it!

obama is on a shortlist of people who should not be saying the president is distracting you from things not being better
Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

We've got a new block: POLLS!
And we'd love for you to test it out by voting on the top block you'd like to see us add — we've got a shortlist, but comment if there's another you'd put first :)
Coming soon: publishing standalone docs to atproto, to more easily make one-off polls for anything!

Dang, Ro Khanna *and* David Hogg *and* Bernie Sanders?
It's like a ratfucker shortlist!
It's like a ratfucker shortlist!
Martin Heinrich, Ro Khanna, David Hogg, UAW are all endorsers. Murphy and Sanders are not backbenchers. We’ve both seen the randos here and reposted from X defending him.
I’m confused what the argument is. The article as not saying it is the defining position of the party, bad headline maybe

Seriously I hate how eager people are to manufacture consent for this fucko when we're literally years away from even having a primary. Like there should be a whole shortlist of people to primary but no we have fucking Gavin.

Withered Hill didn’t win in the British Fantasy Awards last night but it doesn’t matter. Johanna Van Veen’s My Darling Dreadful Thing is a very worthy winner and the real triumph is for the horror genre — the shortlist was such a diverse, wide-ranging list and we truly are in a golden age for horror

Alright, pulling this into its own thread, but speaking of name choosing, I of course did an exhaustive look-through of name lists and made a shortlist with my wife's help.
"Callie" was the first name I tried out, chosen at random from the list, and it stuck. Kismet!
Anyway, just for fun, the list:
