BREAKING: Chilling words about Trump and the 2026 elections by Illinois Governor Pritzker: "He would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

Flemington, a novel about loyalty and betrayal set during the Jacobite rebellion of 1745 sounds interesting.

Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."

I’ve worked in hospitals as a therapist and this is a type of paranoid schizophrenia Elon is exhibiting. As for migrant hotels … the Tory government not Labour has been in charge. 2010-2024. Elon has paranoia He isn’t helping rape victims, he’s on a far right quest of remigration
Amber Dawn (@scotsandlit.bsky.social)
There are many brilliant things Elon Musk has done in technology and space travel. The more educated a person is the more likely they are progressive But Elon’s ideas in the last few years as well as his personal behavior has dramatically changed. Remigration is soft ethnic cleansing He’s lost.
Amber Dawn (@scotsandlit.bsky.social)
Elon’s family needs to get Elon mental health help. His personality changes to extremes and his odd/euphoric thinking is less characteristic of autism and more like schizophrenia. It’s treatable and his mind won’t be in as much suffering. The crusades he goes on hurts his companies and nations.

JD Vance is pathetic. Before running for office, Vance had a number of things to say about Trump — and even identified himself as a “Never Trump guy.” He said Trump was an “idiot” and compared Trump to “America’s Hitler.” #ResistTrump

India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. They’ve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trump’s insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their rise…and our subsequent downfall.

Immigration policy is different than immigration law. We need more border control, policies about refugees, policies about criminals and we don’t need to separate families already here. There is a balance. Everything is too loose right now. No boundaries brings extremes.
Amber Dawn (@scotsandlit.bsky.social)
Deporting rapists (illegal) is reasonable. Having a certain amount of refugees the government funds a year makes sense. Not deporting violent criminals isn’t Christian. Hating refugees and thinking they will cause harm isn’t Christian either. I think an elementary student could get this.

Wow “It's almost as if GPT-5 accomplished something similar — to invent a kind of secret language that allows it to communicate with LLMs in a way that they will like GPT-5's stories even when they are utter nonsense." Meaning is human and the aim now in beating other LLMs is machine centric .
