Look at how fucking stupid that is to read and then consider how not far off your dumbass framing of this decision is from that level of stupidity.

Breaking News: Chester McFartington said he'd personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that breathing is good. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that you need oxygen to live — and bend the health department to his will.

Always happy to flex this information science mastery.

Not ringing any bells, but I want to Help!, so for clarity: When you say horizontal shooter, does that mean a ship being seen side-on shooting towards the right of the screen? Or top-down shooting towards the top of the screen?

Faith and sex positivity are not conflicting things.

Reminds me of the time I was at home taking a shower and I managed to hear the phone ring in the other room, giving me the opportunity to make an equally cultured reference:

Since the traditional gift is candy and iron, I had wrought iron versions of classic candy made and put them in a bowl with the actual candy.

Every root beer barrel could put you over one, every peppermint twist could provide one, every jawbreaker could prove too literal.

Just to follow up, an additional source at least for political cartoons would be the Prints & Photographs division's search:

loc.gov/pictures/

Specifically you can check out the Cartoon Drawings Collection, and then browse by Subjects:

www.loc.gov/pictures/col...
Search Results: "King, Martin Luther,--Jr.,--1929-1968." - Prints & Photographs Online Catalog (Library of Congress)
The Prints and Photographs Online Catalog (PPOC) contains catalog records and digital images representing a rich cross-section of still pictures...

The other thing is that ChronAm is solely public domain content, and thus stronger the further back you go, and most especially after you get over the public domain bump of the mid-1920s. So I'm not surprised Ruby Bridges results are slim pickings.

I work at the Library of Congress (well, when I'm not furloughed), and I'm real familiar with the ChronAm ppl. I'm very skeptical that this is an actual removal thing, and I think it's more that the search isn't great (a critique I share with the general LOC website experience tbh).

I dunno, seems pretty clear given there's a law on the books directly addressing the legality of such an action.

What do I know though, I don't work for the New York Times, apparently this is a matter of some debate according to the paper of record!
