Alex Skopic @alexskopic on X.com "And then 'Senator Crappo' will be the guy who makes the taxes worse" with a pic of George Lucas, quoting a post by More Perfect Union (@MorePerfectUS): Sen. Mike Crapo just blocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren's last-ditch attempt to preserve the IRS's free Direct File program.

“Lucassian” Names are the less subtle version of “Dickensian” or “Pratchettian” names.

Pale yellow square background with black art nouveau border and text reading "GNU Sir Terry Pratchett" below it sits an image by Paul Kidby of Terry playing chess. Below that is the quote "Don't think of it as dying, think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush"

GNU to our beloved author, Sir Terry Pratchett.

"A man is not dead while his name is still spoken."

The last page of the book, featuring Terry Pratchett's bio, which ends with the sentence "He died in March 2015" To which I've added: I'm never prepared for this bio. I miss the old ones, where he still lives 😭 GNU Sir Terry Pratchett

Screenshot 1 of my review of the book on The Storygraph, which reads: 5 ⭐ One of my top 5 favorite Discworld books and the reason PTerry got mildly annoyed at me. That's not the review. The review is "it's great, go read it". Back to the anecdote. A plot point in this book is that the Patrician's dog Wuffles bites somebody, leaving recognizable tooth marks. But way back in Sourcery, Wuffles is explicitly described as having no teeth.

Screenshot 2 of my review of the book on The Storygraph, which reads: My pedantic ass decided to point this out to the great man at a book signing. To which I got an over-the-glasses look, a sigh, and an "Ah, one of the alt.pratchett people." The answer to the apparent paradox was simply "different trousers of time". God, I miss him.

A memorial post for the author, Sir Terry Pratchett, featuring the art of Paul Kirby. Terry is depicted wearing a tall top hat bursting with several of Discworld’s companion characters. The quote is “Mind how you go”, stated by who might have been Terry’s favorite character Granny Weatherwax. Sir Terry Pratchett was born April 28th, 1948 and passed away March 12th 2015. His work was prolific, proudly and fiercely progressive, and changed my life for the better at a time when I needed the most guidance. GNU Sir Terry Pratchett

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years 😢 I’m still working on reading the Tiffany Aching series, because it ends in the Shepard’s Crown and I am *not* ready. #GNUsirterrypratchett
