"We Have a Process"
@paulroub Mainlining Moms For Liberty “standards”, changing the rules to make it ever-harder for a library book to survice… just not good enough for the Brevard County School Board.

Apparently my pre-order excitement has been featured on the home page for Charles Petzold’s “The Annotated Turing” for 15 years or so. Huh.
