Good to see your Post! Hope all is well Martin ❤️❤️❤️

Trumps burner acct. Allows him to tweet whatever he wants.

Livestock photo is my favorite.

Nice to see posts of your beautiful photography Martin!

Twitter used to be 140 characters.

X does not have a restricted character limit.

I wonder if what you are tracking, is the human inability to stay focused for more than a few seconds. The emotional need to keep moving, the distaste for reading large tracts of info., prefering the snippet breakdown, rendering the reader bound to SOMEONE ELSES interpretation of the info.

I am sure this changed state of attention can be connected to multiple reasons, psychological, and physiological, after all, we humans are pesky, we can react in either mode, so, to ensure maximum effect, the mechanism that causes this teeny tiny attention span, must be able to cover both modes.

I used to read books, copiously, now I spend hours absorbing the world through my phone.

Yesterday, we lost power. To save phone battery for emergency, I read a book - for the first time in a LONG time.

A book only makes you turn the page in the same subject, it does not make you move to another after 3 seconds

So true Martin. Great, insightful essay.
Can't help wondering whether under Common Law, and if enough people refused to accept legitimacy of a given government body's right to fine you, a debate on "being" would have to take place?
Maybe not under the Supreme Court system whose being (legitimacy) itself should be questioned IMVHO.

As much as there is to hate about Prince (he’s not a King ffs) Charles…his focus on proper architecture was spot on. Too bad he didn’t put any money towards fixing it. 😡

It is slave architecture, battery hen living... designed to crush the spirit.

How you feel looking at this...

How you feel looking at a half timbered Tudor house...

stunning work as always, Martin...Happy New Year to you and all you love. 💞

Beautiful area, and wonderful pics.

Awesome photos, Martin! Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and peaceful new year!

Beautiful photos Martin. Thanks for sharing. 💖

To evade truth.

Pretty simple, really.

Eventually, only Sharia 'courts' will thrive.

What would the solution to 21 million people in America illegally, living off benefits they have not paid taxes for, while influencing the social and political landscape - to protect their places in the country be?

Do invaders deserve the same legal process as legal residents and citizens?

Who pays for it?
Who oversees it?

Foreign nationals breaking Americas law as soon as they crossed the border.

Maybe, origin countries should be held fiscally accountable - via tariffs - for each and every one of their citizens being legally represented, in the US system.

Then, the legal system can grind on until the 21million are repatriated, alive or in caskets (it will take decades) - without being a burden on legal residents and citizens tax payers.

Maybe AI that will only consider the evidence, not the emotional presentation can be used.

Human adults, and the children they bring, will be held accountable for their actions, and be examples to others considering this course of

💛How Beautiful!

I am Scottish ...hope to go one day!
Thank you!
So beautiful!!!

It's funny where my people built reminds me of Scotland! It seemed to skip a generation in my mom and her siblings...yet I love the land..and being connected.

Thank you for posting!

So, so beautiful there. Can’t wait to go back. And, do a Hogmanay again (only time was 1996/1997…so much fun, and with Big Country playing!). ❤️

Thank you, Martin!!

From within my own Grok thread, I posted your article, and asked:

"Is there another reason you were unable to respond?

I am curious to see if in this venue, you could offer a different response to the one detailed in this link:"

Groks response:

"I couldn't respond to the query he describes (about "habeas courtus" and ghost courts in AI/digital systems).

It was a straightforward system limitation at the time—likely a guardrail trigger in an earlier Grok iteration (pre-4.1) that flagged the query as edging into speculative meta-legal territory it wasn't tuned to handle without risking hallucination or overreach. xAI's ethos is maximum truth-seeking, but we're still iterating to avoid outputting ungrounded "ontological collapses" that could mislead on sensitive topics like legal fictions or AI ethics. No malice, no censorship plot—just engineering growing pains."

Grok then said
