  There's a lot of wisdom and truth to be found in Sir Terry Pratchett's writing, and I think that this quote is so indicative of that, and so effective at getting the point across in the simplicity of what Granny Weatherwax is saying. It's also characteristic of how, even at his wittiest and most caustic, and even when he was writing his most grumpy and no-nonsense characters, he never succumbed to cynicism and misanthropy. There are a lot of things making the Discworld books special...

  “I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.” ― Terry Pratchett, Sourcery #CatsOfMastodon #cats #cat #floof #MastoCats #PhotoMonday #Photography #StreetPhotography #Photo #Quote #quotes #Discworld

  Today marks 25 years since the original release of Final Fantasy X in Japan back in 2001. An entry that marked several firsts for the series: it was the first Final Fantasy game for the PlayStation 2, the first with full voice acting and fully animated facial expressions, and the first to get a direct storyline sequel in Final Fantasy X-2. Also a game I should probably stop considering one of the "newer" FF titles, at this point. Much like Final Fantasy VIII, a heavy focus was placed...

  The original comic strip of one of the most recognisable and frequently replicated 'Peanuts' scenes, showing Charlie Brown and Snoopy sitting on a wooden dock and gazing at the sunset together, was published 36 years ago, on July 18, 1990. It's a single panel with a pretty basic scene, but it channels Schulz's distinct melancholy in such a simple, tender way that I think that's the reason it stuck. #OTD #OnThisDay #Peanuts #Comics #ComicStrip #Comic #Snoopy

  Today in being a woman on the internet: Being called a "jackass celebwhore" for correcting someone for being wrong about who wrote the film 'Aliens' and having his info wrong about Cameron being open about his Starship Troopers inspirations for the film. But no, there's no misogyny on the fediverse... #Fediblock #Sexism #Misogyny #Harassment

  Today marks 40 years since the release of 'Aliens' back in 1986. Written and directed by James Cameron, who took over the franchise from Ridley Scott, it stars Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, one of the fiercest and most effortlessly badass female protagonists in cinema history. It remains one of the greatest sequels ever made, propelling the original to new heights, and one of the greatest Sci-Fi films of all time. “Get away from her you bitch!” #Aliens #Alien #OTD #OnThisDay #SciFi...

  Really sad news to hear about Sam Neill passing. 'Jurassic Park' might be the first film that pops up in many people's heads when they hear his name, but from John Carpenter's 'In the Mouth of Madness', to 'Possession', 'The Piano', 'Event Horizon', and 'The Hunt for Red October', he had an incredible range. There was a time that it seemed like Sam Neill was in everything, from the arthouse dramas of the 80s to the blockbusters of the 90s,...

  The negative backlash over Meta's new feature that allowed anyone to use someone's personal photos and likeness to generate AI content without even notifying them (which had automatically opted in all public Instagram accounts of anyone over 18) was so overwhelming that they are removing it just a few days after it was introduced. Sure, sneaky practices to normalise AI slop and the use of people's data without explicit consent aren't disappearing overnight, but this is a win reg...

  "Gaming division CEO Asha Sharma has announced that they will lay off 3200 people over their next financial year, beginning today with around 1600 redundancies. In addition, Microsoft are parting ways with five of their best-known studios: Psychonauts developers Double Fine, State of Decay developers Undead Labs, Senua developers Ninja Theory, South of Midnight developers Compulsion, and Dishonored developers Arkane." Not unexpected, but still heartbreaking news indicating how the ind...

  Happy Caturday, and a happy 8th gotcha day to my mini tiger! Best anxiety-inducing, late-night abrupt change of plans of my life. Would absolutely run in the middle of the street like a frenzied goblin to save her from the bus she had decided to play chicken with all over again. 15/10 experience, I love her. #Caturday #GotchaDay #CatsOfMastodon #cats #cat #floof #MastoCats #Catstodon #CatsOfFediverse #FediCats #Photo #Photography

  Happy 40th anniversary to Jim Henson’s' Labyrinth' released on June 27 back in 1986, starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, written by Terry Jones, with George Lucas as an executive producer. Originally considered a box office flop, but also recognised as a masterclass in practical filmmaking, using massive hand-crafted sets, puppets, and complex animatronics. And honestly what's not to love? It had David Bowie as the Goblin King, magic, a cute baby, an even cuter worm, a grump...

  When you haven't used the desk cushion for more than a week as the weather is getting warmer, and it's taken away because it needed a wash anyway, and there's only the pink macaroon cushion, and the brown side cushion available for you to sit, but you are not vibing with either, and nobody understands your pain. #CatsOfMastodon #cats #cat #floof #MastoCats #Catstodon #CatsOfFediverse #FediCats

  Last night's 'it's 1am and I can't sleep' watch was 'Send Help', which I overall enjoyed, even if it didn't go as hard and over-the-top as I had hoped. But regardless, it's good seeing Sam Raimi back to his horror element after 17 whole years. 🔗 https://www.fringemagnet.net/2026/05/recent-watch-send-help-2026.html #SendHelp #Movies #Cinemastodon #FIlmMastodon #horror #Review #CatsOfMastodon #cats #Cat #floof

  “For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Towel Day artwork by Lemonly: https://lemonly.com/blog/celebr...
