i am never going to develop immunity to seeing respected contemporary genre authors who seem in all meaningful ways sane suddenly throw out passing bad-faith digs at the internet archive

I share/reshare/rebug more art than I do here at @lukadjo-art-i-like

in reply to @lutz's post:
I would rather not get into it and thus become a potential locus of discourse
: "locus of discourse"
: "locust of discourse"
trying to imagine like Ray Bradbury circa 1980 getting in a random dig at public libraries
I mean he was already all "the woke mob is censorship" so I don't have a hard time imagining he was willfully ignorant in other ways
i mean, even take fahrenheit 451. everyone seems to think this was a statement about how important it is to not allow nazis to burn books but if you read his commentary on the matter he sounds a whole more like the right wing twits of today going off about their first amendment right to be nazis.
i think you may have picked the author for this comparison. lol
The publishing business gives us a veritable rogues gallery of scummy institutions to dunk on, but no, the internet archive is the bad guy. The week that Georgia's state government is trying to make all their libraries cut ties with the ALA, even.
it is deeply strange - it feels like authors parroting publisher talking points
