U.K. transphobes were trying to retroactively claim the late Terry Pratchett as one of their own. Thankfully, his daughter shot this down brilliantly by pointing out that his books are full of pro-trans stories.

www.penguin.co.ukNight WatchCommander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is in hot pursuit of a serial killer. The trouble is, a well-timed lightning strike has thrown both policeman and pursued into the city’s past. Now Vimes must relive the history that made him: a cruel regime, a bloody revolution, a corrupt police force, and, most unnerving of all, a keen young recruit named Sam Vimes… Night Watch, which draws on inspirations as far ranging as Victor Hugo and M*A*S*H, is a keen satire about the true nature of political power, and the sacrifices made in the name of the greater good; but also a profoundly empathetic novel about community, connection and the tenacity of the human spirit.
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels are among the most successful and influential fantasy titles of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This edition of Night Watch – written at the height of Pratchett’s imaginative powers – includes a new foreword by Rob Wilkins and an introduction and annotations by Dr David Lloyd and Dr Darryl Jones, contextualising the novel and Pratchett’s far-reaching legacy for new readers and current fans alike.

@gerrymcgovern I was diagnosed with a serious "slood" deficiency, and prescribed Dried Frog Pills by someone called "Redo from Start". I hope it isn't serious.

@lowqualityfacts after some casual and indifferent research I think you might be onto something interesting here. I think that what you might have missed is that as many as 45 Mondays each year could be 12 hours or less. Of course observational data may not support this as we sleep through the shortened portions which leads to Terrible Tuesday syndrome.
Some may consider this to be absurd.
Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one.
But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.
Sometimes the layers of silliness of Discworld stories add up to some quite hilarious paragraphs. 
Les 14 mille pages du Disque-Monde en un seul livre ?
Oui, c'est possible :

Re point 6
“Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

@bkuhn @liw @federicomena slightly surprised nobody's quoted #TerryPratchett yet. "Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten."

Quite often, you'll get someone popping up and saying "Oh my god, Terry Pratchett was a visionary who predicted all of this stuff, because he wrote about it in <book>"
He wasn't a visionary, at least not in that regard, he was highly observant though.
We humans are, by and large, idiots who fall for the same divisive tactics over and over again. So it's more a case of same shit different decade.
With the addition of the three PC games this week my Discworld game collection is now complete!* I managed to get them all at reasonable prices, and in good condition, considering their age, especially Discworld 1!
*Or as complete as I want it to be, as I'm not fussed about the Saturn or floppy versions**.
**At least not yet 
It was the kind of storm that suggests that the whole sky has swallowed a diuretic.
