When looking around for a couple of hashtags for this, I discovered modern FORTRAN is a thing. How cool!

#Fortran #programming
Before Python, before C, there was Fortranβmeticulously typed, line-numbered, and often fed into machines one punch card at a time. These two books from McCracken (1963) and Gottfried (1972) capture a time when coding felt more like engineering than typing. They're weirdly beautiful.

Through vivid anecdotes and historical cases-from undercover stings in the early 1900s and legal battles over βobsceneβ literature, to FBI surveillance of Black bookstores and bomb threats against feminist and LGBTQ+ shops-the author illustrates how bookstores have repeatedly become battlegrounds in the fight for civil liberties and free expression. Despite intimidation from both government and private groups, booksellers have pushed back, shaping legal precedents and rallying communities to defend First Amendment rights. The essay ultimately calls on readers to recognize bookstores as βarsenals of democracyβ and to support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.
Booksellers have faced censorship and harassment defending the freedom to read. Celebrate your local bookstore and support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

Gru with a large white pad that says "First we get a book". In the next panel it says "Then, we get another book". In the next panel it says "And then we say no more books". In the next panel it says "But then, we see another book". In the last panel Gru looks excited and it says "So we get two more books!"

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.
I know, Kindle users, it sucksβbut your digital copy can be deleted any time.
