SFWA Wrap-up
I've discussed on several occasions the petition to not saddle the SFWA Bulletin with an advisory board. As it turns out, the petitioners (to quote SFWA President Gould) "express concerns for something that does not and will not exist:" - an advisory board. I think "sound and fury signifying nothing" is the best summary of this event. Although, it did lead to a very humorous response from one quarter.
Gravity
Jay Lake riffed on my post about rational thinking. One last thought: facts are like gravity: they get everybody in the end. Call it a Gerrib's Law.
Link Salad
1) Here's an interesting Kickstarter and vaguely linked to the SFWA petition - women destroy science fiction.
2) Here's the first recorded instance of the F-word in English.
3) An open letter from a Death Star architect.
