in reply to Jesse

The image is a two-panel meme featuring characters from the animated series "The Fairly OddParents." In the top panel, a young boy with spiky brown hair, wearing a green shirt with the word "Zoey" on it, is standing in front of a chalkboard. The chalkboard has words written on it, including "tempestuous," "affable," "photograph," and "defenestration." The boy is animatedly gesturing with his arms raised, and the text overlay reads, "We're about to enter WW3."

In the bottom panel, an older woman with white hair, wearing glasses and a red shirt, is sitting at a desk in a classroom. Behind her is a poster titled "Healthy Diet" with a pyramid diagram. The text overlay reads, "Internet, this is the 7th week a row you've said 'we're about to enter WW3' in class." The woman appears to be speaking, with a slightly exasperated expression.

One man, thousands of trees and heaps of determination: how regreening Guatemala transformed a village

Armando López Pocol is showing off some of the thousands of trees he has planted in Pachaj, his village in the highlands of western Guatemala, when he suddenly halts his white pickup truck. Alongside an American volunteer, Lyndon Hauge, he gazes out over a charred field. Clouds of smoke are still billowing from the ground.

As he walks through the ash-covered field, his optimistic speech turns to sadness and he pauses in silence to take in the barren landscape.

Before the fire, this 2-hectare (5-acre) plot of land in the mountains of Cantel was home to 2,000 trees, all planted through Pocol’s reforestation project.

Over a quarter of a century, he and his small team of volunteers and community members have planted thousands of trees, regenerating the landscape of Guatemala’s highlands and mitigating the impacts of the climate crisis, while also generating revenue for local communities.

Thanks to incredible community work, Ghostty now builds and runs on FreeBSD and an official FreeBSD port is in development: github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty… Its still not an officially supported Ghostty target since we don't have it running in CI and we have no BSD maintainers, presently. But its a step in that direction and a showcase of some great community work.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist

The image depicts a large, futuristic spacecraft with a cylindrical body and a weathered, metallic appearance. The ship is predominantly white with patches of rust and wear, suggesting age or exposure to harsh conditions. It features multiple levels, with various protrusions and structures, including antennas and what appear to be engines or thrusters. The spacecraft is connected to a larger, complex structure, possibly a space station or another vessel, through a network of walkways and platforms. The background shows a vast expanse of space with a deep blue sky and scattered stars, emphasizing the ship's location in outer space. The overall design is reminiscent of science fiction, with a focus on industrial and utilitarian aesthetics.

France 24’s Jerusalem correspondent Noga Tarnopolsky says two nationalist Israeli government ministers have barred foreign media from accessing sites hit by Iranian missiles without first getting authorisation from the military censor.

Earlier this week, Israeli police stormed the offices of foreign TV news teams following their coverage of missile strikes in the Haifa region, which reportedly hit sensitive military sites.

A Clearwing Gem (Libellago hyalina) spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore on 29 Jan 2025. It was perched above head level in the shade, so fortunate to see this seldom seen damselfly.

Gems are a family of local damselflies, some with brightly coloured bodies, with wings that are longer than its stout abdomen.

Israeli analyst Akiva Elder expressed concerns over US strikes on Iran, noting most politicians praised Trump while ignoring long-term consequences.

He cited opposition leader Yair Golan’s warning that wars require political solutions, unlike Israel’s unresolved conflicts since 1967.

Elder feared regime change could lead to chaos akin to Iraq and Libya, questioning Netanyahu’s "total victory" obsession in Gaza and Iran.
