Happy birthday Sir Terry Pratchett. The more the world gets more cruel and unfair, the more I miss him.
Plus the Vimes boots theory remains the greatest piece of economics ever written.

What I find so hilarious about that is that Vimes doesn’t like nice boots. He’s a barefoot shoes fan (to use nonfictional modern terms).He wants soles thin enough to be able to read the cobbles and pavers as he walks the beat, (or walked somewhere with a blindfold) so that he can feel the texture of the city and know exactly where he is.

@wiredfool Yep, as I said in a reply to someone else "Vimes likes the shitty boots, they let him feel the cobbles of the city under his feet in a way that the rich will never feel. But his feet are still wet."

Well this blew up 🤯
If you already know Sir Terry Pratchett's work, I hope it was a lovely reminder of what a genius he was.
If you've never heard of Sir Terry Pratchett, I hope you feel inspired to check out the Discworld series of books, which honestly just get better and better as they go.
