California has a STATE library (I didn't know this) and now everyone in the state can check out e-books and e-audiobooks from it.

This is a good way of putting it. Democracy requires bureaucracy and fixed rules; since collective decisions can be made only occasionally, the system has to be on autopilot most of the time. A system based on personal hierarchy and domination can rely more on command and less on administration.
From the Civil Rights division of the DOJ to the CFPB, the administrative state is designed to make material the abstract rights expressed in law. In its absence, what remains is the old enslaver state governed by the unrestrained whims of the rich & powerful.

Looks like Bowling Green State University just trashed all references to the LGBTQ Resource Center from its web site. The pages were active as recently as Jan 30 according to archive.org.

I wonder which is cause and which is effect.
Art Nouveau is when stuff looks like it was made by Elves.
Art Deco is when stuff looks like it was made by Dwarves.
