From the article:
" The only exceptions include “scientific and medical research or instruction” or “peer-reviewed academic content.” "
So all the porn industry needs to do is setup scientific and academic panels to discuss porn in all forms to classify it as research, or peer reviewed. I have to say a system were porn stars do peer review sounds spicy enough to try it anyway.
I'd say it isn't systematic, but the results are similar. They are more random, childish, and loud. A smarter person could have done all this damage in a way that would have been quieter, harder to notice, and harder to fight against.
After 47 passes the 2 year mark, they don't need him any more. They can't 25th amendment him, so he will likely find out how good Putin's tea tastes. That will leave JD time to pick up the MAGA banner, make 47 a martyr and potentially let him have two more full terms. By then the US will be a shell of itself, hallowed out and all government services will be privatized. The US will no longer be a factor on the world stage in any form.
At least that seems to be the master plan. Yes, it sounds crazy. I hope I'm wrong.
When the unhoused are rounded up and put into prisons, we will be told they will need to "learn a trade" and "learn the value of work" so they will be put to work in the private for profit prisons. Never mind that many of the unhoused are currently working. Never mind that this will be more expensive than putting them in homes.
I'm a serious fan of BlueSky. It has grown and developed in just the short time I've been using it. There is tremendous potential there. But I have a question, okay, maybe a few.
1) How do they make money?
2) Are there tools in the works for content creators to make money? (This is the biggest complaint I see online.)
3) Can they please put image downloads into a dedicated album or folder like other apps do?
I like the app, and the community, so I want them to succeed. I've probably posted more there in less than a year than I did in all the years on the bird app.
I've read TD for years. I almost never comment because someone else has already said what I want in a better way. Mike, I appreciate the work you and your team are doing. This article was well written.
In other comments, people are recommending other sources for putting what is happening into context. Some of them I've read or seen before, and some are new and I can't wait to check them out.
I also wanted to add a historian I started following, who has some great writing also backed up with sources.

RE: Same plan
I'd say it isn't systematic, but the results are similar. They are more random, childish, and loud. A smarter person could have done all this damage in a way that would have been quieter, harder to notice, and harder to fight against.
Sadly, it doesn't end because it was never about the man

Dumb question
