For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

They hold up better the older you get, because then you actually understand the real-life histories and media properties that Pratchett was satirizing, but his original sense of absurdist humor still rings out. Highly recommend Going Postal and Making Money for older readers especially.
There is a massive complexity drop off in his later books as the dementia began to set in though, so it's not like there is a level of consistent intellectual complexity or particular pattern to it by release date.
