The Nebula Awards annually recognize the best works of science fiction or fantasy published in the United States. The awards are organized and awarded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), a nonprofit association of professional science fiction and fantasy writers.[1]
(Some might argue the Hugo Awards are the more prestigious awards in science fiction, as they are international awards. But, voting for a Hugo only requires membership in the World Science Fiction Society, which anyone can join. The 2017 Hugos will be presented at the 75th Worldcon, Worldcon 75, in Helsinki, Finland, on August 12, 2017.)
The SFWA just announced this year's Nebula awards, honoring works published in 2016. This year's winners are:
Best Novel: All the Birds in the Sky, by Charlie Jane Anders
Best Novella: Every Heart a Doorway, by Seanan McGuire
Best Novelette: "The Long Fall Up", by William Ledbetter
Best Short Story: "Seasons of Glass and Iron", by Amal El-Mohtar
Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation: Arrival, Directed by Denis Villeneuve, Screenplay by Eric Heisserer
Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy: Arabella of Mars, by David D. Levine
The nominees for these awards are listed at the above SFWA link.

The inability to censor the truly bad posters, the deplorable expendables, has doomed a bastion of free speech.
Oh, the fucking irony.

There is no irony. There is just an obvious lesson that you've failed to learn.
Shittiness begets more shittiness.
Take a shit in a cistern and pretty soon the entire container is teeming with bacteria.
Tarchus is a creature grown in the uncontrolled pollution fed by those posters.
Clean up the shit and guys like tarchus go away too.

Stupid, hateful, ignorant, uneducated, Republican, racist, denying, and sexually twisted posts drive out good posts. No one wants to read that. It is like finding a place where there is shit all over the sidewalks. Better to just avoid the neighborhood.
Some of the best of us no longer post. It is just not worth all the stupidity and ignorance, and of course, fear and loathing. Soon, there will be no need of censorship, because all the people who are worth listening to will be dead on a train at the hands of a shit poster advocating "free speech" for vile stupid ideas.
