I *just* realized that an editor on SoylentNews, janrinok (AKA JR), has very recently attained a huge milestone on our site:8,000 stories!I can speak from personal experience that this represents a HUGE sacrifice of time and energy.He showed me the ropes in how to post a story.(There is FAR MORE than meets the eye to be an editor!)There was also the fact that in the early years of SoylentNews, he was simultaneously taking care of his severely ill wife.(She, sadly, passes away a few short years ago.)He endured some exceedingly heart-wrenching periods doing this.I have witnessed him posting stories even though he was beyond the point of exhaustion.So much so that his doctors *demanded* that he stop *everything* and take a break for many months.So it may not appear to be a huge milestone, please take my word for it. It is!Read more of this story at SoylentNews.

The 2023 award winners are now world-class experts that have advanced mankind's knowledge on big questions. Questions like "how much do horny anchovies influence ocean water mixing?" Or "if a group of people stand in the street looking upward, does the size of the group influence how many unrelated passers-by also decide to look up?" Or that old chestnut, "do we need toilets that analyze our excreta and identify us by taking photos of our anuses?"Just a couple of examples to raise the level of excitement...
