Anyway, having actually, you know, read the bill: There's nothing bespoke about the age verification requirement. Any of the meaning extant systems and PH already uses such in Louisiana. The only problem piece for me is that "prurient interest" is... real broad

My other hot take on this is that the feds could make all this go away with little-to-no tightening of border controls but they won't because it would require structural changes in federal bureaucracies and inconvenience non-border states

He's also adept at dodging. Just an incredible ability to avoid taking hits for things that would (sometimes fairly sometimes unfairly) sink other governors.

Most Texas voters are, on some level, upset about some aspect of the border/immigration so he can safely throw in fully with the MAGAs on it without seriously injuring his prospects elsewhere. Then he turns around and does normiecon stuff and voila, nobody happy, everyone content

Yeah it turns out every prominent academic/intellectual in the 20th century was *astoundingly* bad

E.g. Bsky is all left wing, Mastodon is... well very bad apparently, Threads was all brands, and Truth Social requires you to burn the word TRUMP onto your eyeballs in order to log in

A lot of people confuse "Well written and not cringingly didactic" for "No message"
