This week's Pratchett quote
"Supreme Grand Master smiled in the depths of his robe. It was amazing, this mystic business. You tell them a lie, and then when you don't need it any more you tell them another lie and tell them they're progressing along the road to wisdom. Then instead of laughing they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies they'll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable. Amazing."
- Guards, Guards!

Les ch'tits hommes libres de Terry Pratchett

La jolie découverte d'une fillette un peu sorcière, qui fait du fromage, tape des monstres en se servant de son petit frère comme appât, et devient cheffe d'un nid de lutins bleus, baggareurs et buveurs à la tchaete libre.

On aurait bien besoin d'une sorcière aujourd'hui pour protéger notre monde des rêves horribles de certains !

《 Ni rwa ! Ni rinne ! Ni djeus ! Ni maets ! Fini de s'faire avwar ! 》

GNU Terry Pratchett. 10 years gone but never forgotten. Looking around this corner of the internet I see people starting their Discworld journeys for the first time. I see long time readers finding each other. I see friends who started as fellow fans. He changed so many lives. Thank you Terry. I'll raise a toast today on your birthday. A man is not dead while is name is still spoken, or until the ripples he left in the world fade.

Where to start with: Terry Pratchett https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/apr/25/where-to-start-with-terry-pratchett?CMP=share_btn_url

If a second hand bookshop has sci-fi and fantasy recommendations like this, as well as a Terry Pratchett timeline and categorisation, I’m going to be an instant fan. Just spent a lot of time browsing the very reasonably priced books in Arty Bees Books, Wellington, NZ.

Strange how my mind works

Woke up in the middle of the night pondering who would make a good actress to play Granny Weatherwax in a Terry #Pratchett's #discworld film about his cast of Witches

Answer : Tilda Swinton

Honestly should I become a figure of authority or in a position of power, I will absolutely make "Please, do not allow me to detain you." to be my perfectly normal conversation ender.

I'm not sure if I read the last book in the series, so I'll do what any sane person would: start from the beginning #pratchett #thelongearth #scifi

(comment on The Long Earth)

“What a place! What a situation! What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.”

― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

This week's Terry Pratchett quote:

“Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it's not satire, it's bullying.”
― Terry Pratchett

EDIT: Apparently not a genuine PTerry quote. My apologies. I'll leave it here, though.

My take on Death of Rats

Back to the #GreatPratchettReRead and we move away from the Discworld to the small island known as the Nation by Terry Pratchett!

Easily one of his greatest works, this is one I'm looking forward to reading again!

"A Wizard's Staff Has a Knob On the End"

(My imagined beginning for Nanny Ogg's favourite song:
'
A wizard’s staff has a knob on the end
Knob on the end, a knob on the end
A wizard’s staff has a knob on the end
And his big stick’s got one, too
'
)

It's very specifically NOT a Terry Pratchett game... But I'm reading Nation currently and very much *feels like* a Terry Pratchett game.

Endlich zuhause, der Start in ein kreatives, verlängertes Wochenende!

Lieblingsmensch und ich wollen viele #Miniaturen bemalen. Und ich würde gerne noch meine #pnpde charaktere skizzieren. Dazu wollen wir #mashle gucken.
Abends wollen wir ins Kino gehen und #mickey17 gucken.

Zumindest ist das das heere Ziel. Ich hoffe, ich versacke nicht einfach mit einem #pratchett Roman

Was ist euer Plan fürs Wochenende?

Today I'm taking a memorial flight to #Pratchett's Disc in #EliteDangerous, Terry Pratchett's memorial station in the game, to remember the great man himself.

Ten years since STPOBE took the bony one's hand. The ripples he caused in the world are, like the turtle, still moving

10 year since we unPratchetted
