I know about people who talk about suffering for the common good. It's never bloody them! When you hear a man shouting "Forward, brave comrades!" you'll see he's the one behind the bloody big rock and the one wearing the only really arrow-proof helmet!

I don't think Truss is on anything. I think that's the problem. She should be heavily medicated but isn't. Perhaps she is even knurd, in the PTerry Pratchett sense of being extra special sober. #GNUTerryPrachett

I just realized that Elon musk is the closest we'll get to an actual, real-life #Discworld historical character.
That character is Bloody Stupid Johnson.

"He was renowned for never letting his number-blindness, his lack of any skill whatsoever or his complete failure to grasp the essence of a problem stand in the way of his cheerful progress as the first Counter-Renaissance man."

Delighted and relieved to have bagged a membership for #DWCon 2024. Hopefully see some of you there! #gnuterryprachett
@AmandaDSmith @pluralistic @philosodad Wonderful, that’s lovely to hear. Humorous and profound is an apt description for much of the Discworld canon. Small Gods was deeply affecting to a teenage escapee from Catholicism. I e-mailed Terry Pratchett #gnuterryprachett after reading it, “I have a question”. Which he answered, because he was the best, and it was the less intense internet of 30+ years ago. PS: I’m very excited for you to meet Granny Weatherwax 🧙
@haq Its the Glorious Twenty fifth today too #GNUTerryPrachett
