The @Goodreads Choice Nominees are out.
It is... not doing well for those claiming there isn't a problem with male (and particularly straight white male) authors lacking space in publishing in 2026.

First time an author from deep in the real traditions of science fiction/fantasy/horror has ever won. People like Ishiguro, Atwood, James are tourists (despite their skill) & so never drew on the traditions' most interesting elements. Huge win for the true "genre" connoisseurs.
NEWS: "The End of Everything: A Novel" by M. John Harrison wins the 2026 Booker Prize, the UK's most prestigious fiction prize. Read what Guardian journalist Rebecca Liu, one of this year's judges, says about it:

Come January, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House will all be women for the first time in Texas history.
Gina Hinojosa will be Texas’ third woman governor, Vikki Goodwin will be our first woman Lieutenant Governor, and Senfronia Thompson is set to be the first woman to serve as Speaker.

‘Maudlin’ comes from Mary Magdalene.
Mary was frequently depicted as weeping in regret for her sins.
1500s: ‘Magdalene’ became ‘maudlin’ to describe a weeping drunk.
Now: it describes someone or something that expresses sadness or sentimentality in an exaggerated way.

They are. Just not in America.
The Sikkimese King got honey trapped by an American woman who was working for CIA and she became the Empress of the Dragon Kingdom. She tried her best to stop democracy in Sikkim and turn it into an American protectorate of sorts, it would've been a strategic place located between India and China.
The Indian army eventually entered Sikkim in 1975 and elections were held and Sikkim became part of India. She divorced her husband shortly.

The Derwent Pencil Museum seems so benign until you realise pencil prices were artificially controlled, OPEC-like, by the sinister owners of graphite mines

Today on ‘All Old Strange Things’ I review Rob Gandy’s remarkable book ‘Real Ghost Encounters’ – a genuinely painstaking Fortean enquiry that rises far above the usual paranormalist slop substack.com/home/post/p-222…

New Jersey student of mine who summer interned in silicon valley this year said she got asked out more times at work in those 10 weeks than the previous 10 years and by men at least 10 years older than her. And wondered how it must have been before #metoo.
