(We Mean Every Word. And Also, None of Them.)
📢 This is a Work of Satire and Political Commentary
The Clacks Leak is a fictional and parodic publication intended for the purposes of:
- satire
- social critique
- media subversion
- deconstructive humor
- and the occasional spiritual unmooring of the powerful
It blends fictional characters, invented nations, and magical metaphors with real-world references in order to expose hypocrisy, challenge orthodoxy, and roast sacred cows until medium-rare.
🧠 Reader Discretion Advised (But Not Required)
This publication is:
- Not affiliated with any government, institution, think tank, hedge fund, or cult (yet)
- Not responsible for you mistaking parody for prophecy
- Not liable if your worldview shifts suddenly while reading
If you are easily offended by satire, historical footnotes, invented titles, or talking about colonialism while using a fantasy accent — we suggest you close the tab and seek comfort in a less cursed media ecosystem.
🧙 Attribution & Influence
This site draws spiritual, tonal, and linguistic inspiration from the works of Terry Pratchett, George Orwell, Douglas Adams, Frantz Fanon, and assorted unlicensed alchemists.
All references to places like “Ankh-Morpork” or Discworld-esque institutions are used under the doctrine of transformative fair use and creative homage, not duplication or infringement.
We have zero official affiliation with the Pratchett Estate, Discworld properties, or any licensed media entity. We are simply grateful students of the craft, lighting our satire with borrowed sparks.
