Carlin could’ve changed his name to Bruce Banner because his secret was he was always angry. He got away with this by virtue of being funny, as well as deceptively intelligent.

I waited until he’d died to get into his stand-up, and it took me years after that to move on to his written work. ![]() ![]() The nation has seen a surge in book bans over the past two years as parents, conservative activists, and elected officials have flooded school districts with requests to wipe scores of titles from classrooms and libraries - with Florida still leading the pack in such incidents.Īfter more than 200 books were banned in various school districts across Florida between the summer of 2021 and 2022, districts continued the crackdown, banning 357 books between July and December 2022, according to the nonprofit organization PEN America.
