plumtreeblossomOn the academic publishing censorship front:
Did you know (and I didn't know until today) that last year, one of our competitor's social science texts was, and still is, banned from public school use in the state of Alabama because it contains a photo of a man and a woman in a car, and the woman is driving, not the man.
Our competitor said fuck you and didn't change the photo. I'm proud of them.
BUT WHY SHOULD THEY HAVE HAD TO IN THE FIRST PLACE????
What fucking country is this????
