there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

X-files reboot starts with Mulder in GA working on voter fraud. He's buried in BS: Scully, a disgraced epidemiologist (pro-vax) yanks him off the task force to hunt a cryptid threat to national security. SCULLY: You believe in this thing? MULDER: Locals call it a Glonzo. Are you even on Bluesky?

It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
