Well, it's official. Net Neutrality has been struck down by the 6th Circuit US Court of Appeals on January 2, 2025. While Big Tech, and Big Business in general, are celebrating this as a victory and salivating like a Pavlov's Dog, make no mistake, this is a major loss for We the People. Now internet service providers can rig the internet in favor some people or entities over others via blocking access or varying speeds as "fast and slow lanes". Gee, what could possibly go wrong?
(Meanwhile, at the same time, various vain and illiberal attempts to "childproof" the internet with mandatory age verification have met with varying degrees of legal success.)
2025 seems to be starting out on the wrong foot already, and of course the new dark age will begin in earnest on January 20, 2025 when Trump is re-inaugurated as President of the United States. All with his puppet master Muskrat, the richest person in the world (and in literally all of recorded history) pulling his strings. Grifters gonna graft, believe me.
We will admit, while we at the TSAP have always loathed Trump, a few years ago, we thought that Muskrat was a real-life Tony Stark. Now it is obvious that he is more like Doctor Octopus on ketamine, only worse. And Trump? Well, he is more like Ganondorf, the villain from the Legend of Zelda series. And the current moment in history is reminiscent of the part of Ocarina of Time when Ganondorf snuck in and took over, casting Hyrule into a new and horrible dark age. Like Ganondorf, King Of Evil, Trump is the epitome of toxic masculinity, while Link the hero is the epitome of TONIC masculinity. Unfortunately at this juncture in the real world, Link seems to be nowhere to be found these days, and Kamala Harris, the closest equivalent to Princess Zelda, will be out of power completely as VP on January 20.
Buckle up, as we are in for a VERY wild ride!
