Shredding SNAP is part of Project 2025, and this disgusting behavior should not come as a shock. Donald Trump's latest stunt demanding states "immediately undo" full November payments to families proves the funds to feed Americans exist; he just wants you to go hungry.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

The Terry Pratchett Estate @terrypratchett.bsky.social · 27/08/2025
On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published. To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:
It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door.

But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown.

So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy.

Rob Wilkins

Cashing in: The real cost of Trump’s Middle East Tour
President Trump’s official trip to the Middle East was marketed by the White House as an effort to share his plans to bring peace to the region, but one of the first things he did was accept a $400 million plane from the Emir of Qatar. Ali Velshi reveals the true price of friendship with the United States: how much you are willing to invest in the Trump empire.
