The Lecturer in Recent Runes is such a great throwaway joke

Dude you have do many followers could you lead a Boycott of Amazon? I don't know much about you but you appear to be the first bluesky user.

I do love the fact that Ridcully didn’t end the chaotic nature of UU. He just gave it some (occasionally erratic) direction.

I love his line about people thinking Ridcully was stupid: "Actually, he had quite a powerful intellect, but it was powerful like a locomotive and ran on rails."

Largely by being annoyingly unkillable...

Stibbons, what are the odds of this all going pear-shaped and ending all life as we know it?

About 1 in 5, archchancellor.

[Silence]...I'd take that bet. Alright, Stibbons, turn it on.

many of the factions of Discworld represent different parts of human nature

the wizards are the part that pokes things just to see what happens

mostly it’s bees, but sometimes we figure out something important

the wizards also represent the wizard part of human nature

source: im a wizard.

octarine is pretty

maple-autumn.bsky.social•13 days ago

Its actually kind of bonkers to me just how well he described the look of octarine. It's spot-on to how it really looks

Listening to Bees always seemed like a wildly underrated idea from Granny Weatherwax.

One reason I always thought Ponder was very witch coded as a wizard.

I love all things Pratchett.
