Book Bans Are For Weenies - EARLY ACCESS, AD-FREE, AND UNCENSORED
🕑 Added 2025-08-26 01:00:35 +0000 UTCHi. The free speech absolutists on the American Right really love banning books. They want you to think that people and history they don't like don't exist.

I work in a library that is one pretty large room. Our children's section is separated from our young adult section by a bookshelf and from the adult fiction section by enough space for a wheelchair to fit through. We're barely an afterthought for our county and we all make minimum wage. We can barely afford to buy a few new books every year. If this law that requires libraries to pay people who complain happened in my state, in my little conservative town in which I am one of maybe a few hundred liberals out of 9,000 people, our library would be bankrupt in less than a week.

Springfield MA has quite a few nods to William Pynchon. Parts of the city are named after him and there's a prominent statue of him in the downtown

IIRC, Comstock is still technically on the books, it was just made unenforceable by Griswold v Connecticut (and possibly others).

When did Schmidty the Clam start writing for you guys?! SMN seems like a perfect outlet for him to write about things that are still incredibly fascinating, but not so much "secret" as they are "alarming"

Yes. I would argue too short. We need more Some More News! 😅

I love Vonnegut <3 Currently reading 'Galapagos'. I used to listen to The Vonneguys after finishing each of his books for the first time. Great podcast!

Don't ban books, but maybe ban Expiatory Goat?

I had the task of defending slavery in Global studies, but it was Greek slavery so not entirely racist (and somewhat gay!). Happily i got destroyed.

Ahhh the Comstock act. What creepy weirdo losers. Hope someone writes a book about how much they suck

When a SMN video is 59:29, do we consider it a short video still?
