FUCK OFF "this is America" not even a fucking country!!! Maybe open your eyes and peel the lid off your vanilla yogurt - you live in the world and the internet isn't your backyard
I love how these billionaires aren't even trying to make it appear that they're smarter or more hard working than the rest of us, and so deserve their blood money. They just make stupid decision after stupid decision, proving that their wealth built on blood and lies.
Can't wait for the revolution and madame guillotine to wake from her slumber.

Just me over here getting emotional about Anghammarad
Almost 19 thousand years old
Existing just to be a messenger
An angel, if you will
Waiting for the universe to reset so he could deliver his message to the people he failed
Only to be killed by the dropkick of a man who wanted to make a quick buck
And all he wanted after death
Was respite

This is so cute
I love the fact that both my fiance and I (in our early 30s) are old fashioned but not in the sense that we're racist or homophobic, but that we like to say "films" rather than "movies."
It's so quaint.

Here's my best life hack: of you want to piss people off you should suggest a game of hang-man and make the word "rhythms" because it has no vowels.
My second best life hack is that if that fails just eat a hard boiled egg and fart hugely.

Me, reading a kids book about trains to my 3yo niece while my sister feeds two of her triplet babies nearby: "And a clever young man named Ned Simnel made a locomotive engine called Iron Girder. This was what we call a prototype, which was intended to be a proof of concept to convince the entrepreneur Harry King to invest in the permanent way, or railway..."
My sister, confused: I've read that book a dozen times, where does it say that?!

THIS is how I understood that The Amazing Maurice was made with respect for the vision of Sir Terry. The post-credits scene that only the fans would understand made it for me (and also made me cry).

If i could draw I'd animate the scene of Mr Fusspot being propelled backwards behind Vetinari's great chair by a giant vibrating dildo while an entire courtroom looks on in horrified fascination.

I love the way Terry Pratchett values people with all kinds of body shapes and of all ages, and even of all levels of intellect.
Sam Vimes (my beloved) is often acknowledged as "not the sharpest tool in the shed" but BY GODS does he get shit done and is the RIGHT shit.
Juliet Stollop is dumb as a box of rocks but it's her straightforward mind that says to (smart and clever) Trev Likely and Glenda Sugarbean "are you stupid? You're talking about Mr Nutt! Of course he isn't evil!"
Sybil Vimes is radically kind BECAUSE OF and NOT inspite of her size.
Junior Postman Groat is old and creaky and INVALUABLE to the post office!
Stanley Howler is young and a bit crazy but ALSO has his value recognised by Moist and given an important job, and he does it really well!
Sergeant Jackrum is massively fat and appears stupid but is so sharp that he saves the day and (redacted because I'd hate to spoil, even if the book isn't at all new).
I don't know it just makes me happy and wish more people read Discworld
PS I'd love it if others added their thoughts

WHY
have I only just heard about the animated Amazing Maurice (and His Educated Rodents) animated movie being released this year?!
I’m scared (*flashbacks to The Watch*) but hopeful!
