So I pleased to announce the conceptual spawn of FigTree: PearTree (acronym still to be finalised). If you want to dive right in it is hosted as a web app here: artic-network.github.io/peartree (click the “Example...” button for immediate candy and then click every button you can find).

People gambling on Polymarket about a war planned with Claude AI is the most dystopian thing I've seen in awhile.

The fact that our so-called Congress hasn't had an emergency meeting says it all.

We don’t have time for this fascist bullshit, we’ve got a planet to save

“The point is that both Hitler and Stalin held out promises of stability in order to hide their intention of creating a state of permanent instability.”

Standing on a rock with green river-like swirly colors behind. The drawing is framed by a simple line, and under the frame lettering reads, 'Maybe it will happen today'.

This needs to be illegal

Not the same guy, you brick-brained clown. The one who came to power in 1979 died 10 years later in ‘89.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

In your name. Your hard earned tax money is being used to build concentration camps and torturing children at home and murdering children abroad.

I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.

US and Israel launch an attack on Iran with tensions high over nuclear talks The U.S. and Israel have launched an attack on Iran, with the first apparent strike happening near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Only 2 months into 2026 and the president has achieved so much. Waging war on Venezuela, Minnesota, and Iran, while covering up his alleged role in a child rape syndicate, is a lot.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
