I absolutely love the discworld series!! I haven't read all of them so I couldn't say which of those is the best, but moving pictures wasn't bad. I'm really more partial to the city watch "series" that starts with Guards Guards! I will say that I didn't really get sucked into the "death" series that Reaper Man is a part of.

Here's a site that shows the various orders you could read them in:

They have overarching storylines that connect books, but I don't think you need to see them as Book I, Book II, Book III.

... Lord knows that's going to help depressed people...

"Literally everyone is happy but me! There's obviously something wrong with me."

Much health, very help, wow.

Don't we go though this every time? I could swear "we" settled on "the public blames the party that forced the shutdown" not the party in power.

White House official told the Daily Beast last week that the administration has already received nearly $200 million in pledges for the ballroom, which Trump promises to cover out of pocket if needed.

A White House official told the Daily Beast last week that the administration has already received nearly $200 million in pledges for the project, which is not using any tax dollars.

CBS News reported that pledges are coming from corporations and wealthy donors, including Google, Booz Allen Hamilton, R.J. Reynolds, Palantir, and NextEra Energy. Lockheed Martin is said to have contributed $10 million to the project. They each may be rewarded by having their names etched into the White House.

🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮

If Trump promises to cover any costs out of pocket that the corpo simp fucks don't pay that makes me believe pretty strongly that he has no intention of leaving the White House unless it's in a coffin...

"Ok everyone, we're here for a very important reason. Trump is pouty over his UN incident and we need to throw him a proper dictator worship party. I'm going to need all of you in DC pronto so we can really give those boots a good kissing. It's for The Good Of the Country™©®."

True, but if someone has determined I'm interesting enough to waste resources on then I fear for their job stability. Someone's getting fired lol

almost everyone has air conditioning, so doors and windows stay closed in summer

When you walk outside and are practically swimming in the humidity that ac is a godsend. My windows mostly stay closed so I don't drown/suffocate lol

Guess we're starting the war with Venezuela since they aren't taking the bait and retaliating to our provocations

It all started with the virgin Mary, then God couldn't help himself and created Epstein so he didn't feel so alone in His diddling!

 

US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

As usual corporations looking for special treatment, hoping to have their merger accepted, refuse to fight the fascist...

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake..

91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol

 

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
