“We can solve our water problems – I don’t argue that we will or that we will do it soon, but we can" Peter Gleick said.
An axolotl. Axolotls are having a moment – our passion for these cute little salamanders means they are everywhere online but vanishingly rare in the wild, where the species is under increasing threat.

People protest against Donald Trump’s push to take control of the island in front of the US consulate. Trump has walked back his threat to impose sweeping US tariffs on eight European countries, claiming he had agreed ‘the framework of a future deal’ on Greenland.

An ocean scientist I know lost her federal government job this week. Canada should be scooping up American scientists left and right, not firing our scientists!! She works on carbon observation in the ocean, which is, you know, really fucking important. Everyone else who works on it on the west coast also got cut
Maybe a good time to reach out to your MPs and ask how the fuck we're supposed to be a world leader or whatever if federal scientists are fired and univerities are all drowning?

With #HolosSocial, we introduced the same feature that is on #Fedilab to discover videos from the Fediverse thanks to #SepiaSearch (https://sepiasearch.org).
#PeerTube devs offered this option, which is really helpful for discovering new content on their platform.
We might introduce peer-to-peer streaming soon when watching PeerTube videos, with an option to disable this behavior.
Their API is used to display the content, then actions work through ActivityPub.

It would appear Meta is censoring any posts out of #Minnesota today.
I went looking to see if anything was getting through. All I could find was at least a day old. Nothing from today. At all.
Curious to know if anyone else is seeing the same thing.
It's not trending on Bluesky either.

Children watch a pro-government march to demand the release of Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Before the US military snatched Venezuela’s president earlier this month, Delcy Rodríguez and her powerful brother pledged to cooperate with the Trump administration once the strongman was gone.

Fire in the sky: one awesome cover for a lovely issue of Dragon magazine.
This is easily my favourite cover of all the ones I've seen of the sadly long-departed Dragon. March 1989's spectacular cover always evokes images of Shadowrun's Awakening event, especially of the air battles with Fierschwinge as she appeared over Germany.
But yeah, gorgeous stuff from artist Denis Beauvais.
There's also a bit of a landmark article on Pools of Radiance, with AD&D video games truly coming of age to the mag's delight.
