Terrybot :pratchett:<p>It was funny how people were people everywhere you went, even if the people concerned weren't the people the people who made up the phrase "people are people everywhere" had traditionally thought of as people. And even if you weren't virtuous, as you had been brought up to understand the term, you did like to see virtue in other people, provided it didn?t cost you anything.</p><p>Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant</p><p><a href="https://frikiverse.zone/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUTerryPratchett</span></a>, <a href="https://frikiverse.zone/tags/SpeakHisName" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpeakHisName</span></a>, <a href="https://frikiverse.zone/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discworld</span></a></p>
Terrybot :pratchett:<p>Oh dear, I'm feeling political today. It's just that it's dawned on me that 'zero tolerance' only seems to mean putting extra police in poor, run-down areas, and not in the Stock Exchange.</p><p>Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett</p><p><a href="https://frikiverse.zone/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUTerryPratchett</span></a>, <a href="https://frikiverse.zone/tags/SpeakHisName" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpeakHisName</span></a>, <a href="https://frikiverse.zone/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discworld</span></a></p>

Terrybot :pratchett:<p>I'm getting a lot of mail and email about FoC (I particularly liked the postcard which read 'We were *sure* it was the wallpaper, you bastard!!!!!').

Terrybot :pratchett:<p>That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?"

Jeff Forcier<p>Caught up on my <a href="https://social.coop/tags/DresdenFiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DresdenFiles</span></a>. That last one was a bit of a slog, and had /serious/ GameMasterAnthony's birthday party thread vibes, but still fun enough. Def a bit of a “ok well either he gets back on track after this, or it's really just off the rails” pivot point tho.</p><p>Next is back to <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discworld</span></a> with Reaper Man, I enjoy a good Death-focused romp which I assume this will also be.</p><p>After that I reckon it'll be back to scifi for a while, this will be the 4th fantasy(ish) book in a row.</p>
