How a book that began as a scourge of the establishment became, in the government's words, "an important part of our nation's history".
It's the 65th anniversary of Penguin winning the Lady Chatterley trial (they had 200,000 copies ready to go). I wrote about it a few years ago:

not to be histrionic but I kind of feel like the confluence of Trumpism, algorithmic social media, and LLMs have placed language and the fundamental proposition that words have meaning under unprecedented strain and it’s freaking me out more than a bit
