If you have Paramount Plus ... Watched this 1961 Twilight Zone episode last night. It's about a librarian condemned to death for being "obsolete" because books have been banned.
Inspired by many sources, name-checks Hitler and Stalin, but also speaks to today's #MAGA book-banning.
Also ... Burgess Meredith.

@waywardflf Thank you. We'll get there eventually. We're going in order of air date. "The Obsolete Man" was the last episode of Season 2. "The Old Man in the Cave" was Season 5.
i watched those first time around. explains a lot about my mind.
@holon42 Rod Serling was a brilliant and prolific writer. Beyond TZ, he wrote films such as "Seven Days in May" and "Planet of the Apes."
oh i forgot he wrote POTApes. what a mind. he saw the signs.
@WordsmithFL
May I also recommend “The Old Man in the Cave”? Parallels to today’s choices.
