They named the Streisand Effect after me.
Hmm. The certain knowledge that one day I WON'T be doing Duolingo makes milestones like this feel more like a potential stopping point than an achievement.

I've endured Billy Dee Williams and Kelly Marie Tran singing Jingle Bells in Huttese. I think I deserve a reward for that alone.

There are... SO MANY kinds of elf. Like, you think cheap 80s/90s fantasy like D&D or Fighting Fantasy overdid elf races? It was always a feature, not a bug.

Except with Tolkien they're both diverse and simultaneously EXACTLY the same.

Less than an hour left and that's all the Discworld books done. Start to finish. In order.

Gulp.

Anyway, the core of the actual plot is that Wallace is a charismatic populist leader who is beloved by the common folk and the soldiers, but he and they are ultimately betrayed by the conniving politicians, who...

...stab them in the back...

After a couple of cracking years, France return to being utterly dull and forgettable.

Apart from singing in a grain silo, that is.
