Accelerationism is the most retarded idea ever.
Because there's nothing to replace it. We just crumble balkanize and then watch China eat Hawaii, Japan, and Taiwan.
It's not even an ideology. It's a political version of that feeling when you fuck up a brushstroke, and you want to throw the whole painting in the gabage and start again. Anyone with emotional control would stop themseoves form doing that, which is why it's an idea from the most emotionally stunted populace to date.

EDIT: It's also a fault of the atheist ideology (beauty will just naturally happen given enough random variables happening) versus a christian understanding (beauty is created by the divine hand, by man or god.)

Coyotes have been spotted in Central Park several times in the last two weeks — including one daylight sighting that was captured on video.

In a clip posted to social media on Thursday, one beautiful brush dog prances from the woods, hops over a fence, to take a casual trot up and around a path in Central Park near the Ramble.

The coyote looks to be a healthy weight and has a full coat, equipped with a particularly fluffy tail.
Who the fuck likes coyotes? Are they surviving off unattended anchor babies?
 
Yeah, the Trump administration really conned us by... immediately addressing a wide range of issues demanded by the electorate. I can't believe we fell for the oldest trick in the book.
It's very basic - Do you get your boyfriend to give you head by giving them a bloody nose or by being nice and put up that shelve you've been meaning to do.
 
Neil, were you not paying attention the last four years? The middle class was already decimated by your cronies.
you’ll have to give people a break, TDS is a mental disorder that disrupts logical decision making
LMAO I doubt you could name any singular policy that actually harmed the middle class from the last administration. The second Trump term is all about vibes, which is great and all, until you have to reckon with the fact the country is going to be run for the benefit of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and whatever other billionaires kneel to kiss Trump's ring.

Those tariffs are gonna be really helpful when it comes to bringing down inflation, I'm sure. As long as you're winning tiny culture war battles, that's all that matters.
 
I am actually scared.

He didn’t do anything especially drastic in his previous presidency, now he’s going balls to the wall including threatening wars and it’s only his second day.
This isn't going balls to the wall. Going balls to the wall would be drone bombing all the Rothschilds, invading the UK to save them from their tyrannical government and expell all muslims, nuking the kabbah, invading Saudi Arabia after releasing the 9/11 files as cassus belli, taking all their territory and oil, publically executing Bush, Obama, Clinton, Biden, Romney, Cheney, Pelosi, Schumer, and Soros, having Michael Aquino publically beheaded, and giving me a qt3.14 castiza gf who knows how to make 10/10 mexican and thai food. All of which he SHOULD DO, but I'm gonna hope he's just getting warmed up.
 
Maybe if they traveled through Philadelphia he could say that they engaged in the crime of conspiracy within his jurisdiction? It's tenuous and flimsy. I hope he legally and with all due process gets the legal equivalent of scaphism.
Milk and honey's too good for 'em. I hope he gets the legal equivalent of being boiled in a vat of seed oil.

Pill us on that transcription abuse, even if slightly off topic. You mean they feed it pidgin english, written transcripts by jeets and chinks (or whatever racist slur comes to mind) and expect it for reformat and put together a well legible version of that? Or do you mean they use it like steno mask, making transcripts on the fly? The question with the former would immediately be: Why not use something light, like grammarly? and the second would just weird me out because my audio transcript models are accurate, at least for english, they mistake words but don't flat out make shit up wholesale. It's the former, isn't it? Horrifying, if so.
It is not your typical transcription mistakes; it is just making up a bunch of bullshit and adding it, and deleting shit. Look up "hallucinating AI transcription". It's actually hilarious outside of being complete trash for any professional use.
 
With the way the law works in this country this should have just been expected. Not a lawyer, but based on the previous examples of "x seeking legal thing against x" they might go for things like "in PA we recognize what the Jan 6 people were charged with was sedition/attempting to overthrow the government, we believe laws were broken that (could) have had a direct impact on PA seeing as if successful the rights of millions of PA voters would have been violated" that or "in PA we believe that as a state in the united states when a person(s) attempts to overthrow the government as we believe the Jan 6ers attempted, by attempting to commit the """""federal crime""""" of overthrowing the government they are liable to be prosecuted in the state of PA which see's itself as a potential victim of said crime" or maybe he just wants to fuck anybody from Jan 6 who just so happens to be from PA lol.
 
This is the exact reason why I believe that Federal Pardon power should extend to the outer ring of the crime as long as the nexus is a federal crime. Anything else renders the Pardon power immaterial and pointless. Trump v. Anderson talked about similar interference by the states, though in different context.

I would hate to be a supreme court justice right now because I know they are going to spend the next 10 years hearing cases where in the government of a blue state did something blatantly and knowingly unconstitional on the basis that by the time supreme court makes a ruling on it, it won't matter anymore.
