Discworld QOTD, from Lords and Ladies "‘We taught her everything she knows,’ said Granny Weatherwax. ‘Yeah,’ said Nanny Ogg, as they disappeared into the bracken. ‘D’you think ... maybe...?’ ‘What?’ ‘D’you think maybe we ought to have taught her everything we know?’ ‘It’d take too long.’"

I once again beg all y'all not to screencrap nonsense from the former Twitter and bring it here to dunk on it, that's like inviting a vampire in to tell them their fangs look stupid, maybe you're right but they're still going to fucking eat you (also "screencrap" was a legit typo but I left it in)

Discworld QOTD, from The Last Continent "‘Be what?’ ‘Pro-active, I think. It’s a word he’s using a lot.’ ‘What does that mean?’ ‘Well…in favour of activity, I suppose.’ ‘Really? Dangerous. In my experience, inactivity sees you through.’"

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Discworld QOTD, from Making Money “What the Iron Maiden was to stupid tyrants, the committee was to Lord Vetinari; it was only slightly more expensive, far less messy, considerably more efficient and, best of all, you had to force people to climb inside the Iron Maiden.”

My friend took this picture and I think people need to see it.

When I checked just now, #tugtupite was only 3 votes ahead of #dioptase. Come on, Team Dioptase! Recruit some more voters! #MinCup25

Flaring with fiery autumnal hues, this is a dress that catches the transition between the shortened hems of the twenties and the long sleek glam of the thirties. The flame coloured velvet is printed with a floral pattern, @phxart.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Discworld QOTD, from The Fifth Elephant “'... well, you know what people call men who wear wigs and gowns, don't you?' 'Yes, miss.' 'You do?' 'Yes, miss. Lawyers, miss.’”

It’s national coffee day! Post someone looking good while enjoying a cup of joe.

Discworld QOTD, from Carpe Jugulum “She’d never, ever asked for anything in return. And the trouble with not asking for anything in return was that sometimes you didn’t get it.”

'How to distract an Egyptian god'. 🤭😂

Discworld QOTD, from Witches Abroad “‘You’d have to go a long day’s journey to find someone basically nastier than Esme,’ said Nanny Ogg, ‘and this is me sayin’ it. She knows exactly what she is. She was born to be good and she don’t like it.’”

If you see this, post a bridge. The mighty Mackinac Bridge, which connects Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas.

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Each day you will be confronted with three unmarked doors. Behind door one is getting all your work done. Behind door two is getting enough rest and exercise. Behind door three is a tiger. Good luck.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay “They were men who felt that The Time Had Come. Regimes can survive barbarian hordes, crazed terrorists and hooded secret societies, but they're in real trouble when prosperous and anonymous men sit around a big table and think thoughts like that.”

We only rate dogs. This is very clearly a red panda. We've had just about enough of your tomfoolery. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (IG: __joyjoa)

"Payne-Gaposchkin’s work met opposition and ... another scientist, a man named Henry Norris Russell, received credit for the same finding...." There's a long, long list of women scientists who made revolutionary discoveries that were rejected by fellow scientists until a man repeated them.

A proper villa vibe. Is this chunky legend floating into Fat Bear Week? The ultimate bracket reveal goes live today at 4 pm PT. Don’t miss it.

The oppressors' greatest fear is being treated as they treat others, basically.

Discworld QOTD, from Pyramids “No one is more worried by the actual physical manifestation of a god than his priests; it's like having the auditors in unexpectedly.”

The purr-fect map

Voted yet? Both of these are so very, very weird in the best ways. For the strategic voters, the winner will face off against #perovskite next round.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Copilot is the new Clippy.

“The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write: a man will turn over half a library to make one book.” Samuel Johnson, born on this day in 1709

Discworld QOTD, from Eric “‘Multiple exclamation marks,’ he went on, shaking his head, ‘are a sure sign of a diseased mind.’”

As of a minute ago, pectolite is losing to haüyne. Maybe if they spelled it pectölite, it would be doing better. #MinCup25 #pectolite #hauyne

Sorry, #mannardite, but how could I not vote for a mineral named #paddlewheelite? #MinCup25

#Taenite is a space rock. #Nontronite is common clay. ...Clay isn't common. It's fascinating, and fun. I'm voting for nontronite. #MinCup25

Discworld QOTD, from The Truth "Character assassination. What a wonderful idea. Ordinary assassination only works once, but this one works every day."

It's wild that #ikaite is only stable in near-freezing water. And the spikes make it looks like a Doctor Who prop. But #cuprosklodowskite is all shades of green, dangerously radioactive, and named after Marie Slodowska Curie. What's not to love? Cuprosklodowskite gets my vote. #MinCup25

“There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.” - Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Discworld QOTD, from Wintersmith “Your own brain ought to have the decency to be on your side!”

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Another rematch and a tough choice. Kyanite is (often) a beautiful shade of blue, but topaz is sparkly. Kyanite is useful, but topaz is sparkly. Kyanite made it to the finals last year. I want to give it a chance to go all the way this year. So, I'll vote for kyanite. #MinCup25

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Discworld QOTD, from Sourcery "‘Why are they chasing you?’ ‘I don’t know.’ ‘Oh, come on! There must be a reason!’ ‘Oh, there’s plenty of reasons. I just don’t know which one.’"
