    G5 - Where is Sunny's Mom?

    Where, indeed, is Sunny's mother? We see Argyle, her dad, and the movie very strongly implies he's dead -- or has been missing for years, presumed dead -- but there's no sign of her mother anywhere.

    Similarly, Sprout's mother Phyllis features prominently, but there's no sign of his father.

    Dune - go see it

    What the title says, basically. The new Dune movie is seriously good, and if you like Dune, or sweeping SF epics in general, you should go see it, preferably on the biggest screen you can. It's gorgeous! The movie follows the book much better than the Lynch film did, and lets the environment play a big role, as is fitting.

    Just in case it needs to be said:

    If you haven't already, go get vaccinated against Covid-19, ASAP. The vaccines are safe and they work.

    Do not try any of the purported "cures" like hydroxichloroquin or, sigh, ivermectin.

    In case it wasn't obvious yet...

    No, I do not want Nazis in this fandom.

    I don't want stories about cutesy Nazi OCs, who exist to give "ironic" cover to actual Nazis and racists, and to normalize Nazi presence in MLP fandom.

Yeah, there's a lot of really good stuff up for votes this year! :twilightsmile:

Some Puppy shit, too, but that was almost inevitable, and there's no category where the slated rubbish dominates the list. This year, No Award will not win. :twistnerd:

It certainly looks like a much healthier slate than the last few years! And there's a little Rabid Puppy whining, but for the most part, everyone seems to mostly be happy that the awards are back to the status quo, or ignoring the Hugos to go check out the Dragons, which is a win for everyone compared to dealing with the drama and fire surrounding VD's vote-packing campaigns.
