Jolani is presumably the highest ranking member of Al Qaeda to ever meet the US president during an official visit to the White House.

Oh no, rich countries had enthusiasm for tackling the climate crisis, and I completely missed it?

I really wasn't expecting this cosy self-care app to include horror elements.
Screenshot from the "Finch" app, showing a micro pet called "Lovely the Tumtum", who looks like a pink marshmallow with a cute face and a transparent stomach filled with floating hearts. Their description says they "collect hearts to save for when they are most needed."

It took 13 years of hard and thankless work, but our revolutionary forces have finally managed to produce the world's most hideous sofa.
SDF commander Mazlum Abdi giving a press conference while seated on an awful floral print sofa with mismatching red arms. It doesn't look like it's cushioned at all.

They do appear to have been genuine nuclear sites, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation has put out a statement. They argue these are civilian sites, although that's a fine line, which is why the IAEA monitors the sites.
Text of a statement reading: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Following the brutal attacks of the Zionist enemy over the past few days, at dawn today, the country's nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were attacked by the enemies of Islamic Iran in a barbaric act that violated international law, especially the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This action, contrary to international law, was unfortunately carried out in the shadow of the indifference and even the complicity of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The American enemy has claimed responsibility for the attack on the aforementioned sites, which are under the continuous supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, based on the Safeguards Agreement and the NPT Treaty. The international community is expected to condemn the lawlessness based on the rules of the jungle and support Iran in achieving its legitimate rights. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great Iranian nation that despite the evil conspiracies of its enemies, with the efforts of its thousands of revolutionary and motivated scientists and experts, it will not allow the path of development of this national industry, which is the result of the blood of nuclear martyrs, to be stopped. This organization has put the necessary measures, including legal action, on its agenda to defend the rights of the noble Iranian nation."

A women's demonstration in Qamişlo passes a mural urging people to fight for the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan.

If anyone has a precise translation of "serbixin dîwarên îmraliyê hilweşînin", let me know!
A large crowd of women walking down a sunny city street, past apartment blocks 3-5 stories high, and under strings of bunting made of small flags from various organisations of the Kurdistan Freedom Movement. The mural is on the side of an apartment building on the right of the street. An armed female member of the internal security forces is keeping watch on the left.

The text on the back of this vehicle says something like "stay 100m away", but nobody does. Local drivers regularly weave in and out of American patrols, and the extremely low local casualty rate means the Americans are relaxed enough to let it happen.
An armoured vehicle with a very large American flag, driving past a village in some flat scrubland. A motorcycle is passing in the other direction. The "stay 100m away" text is written in large Arabic letters on the back of the armoured vehicle.

FAQ Thread about the PKK Dissolving! Add your questions and I will answer to the best of my knowledge.
Around 30 PKK guerillas standing in three lines and each holding up a flag, including those of the PKK, KCK, HPG, and YJA-Star

Turkish journalists are surprisingly angry about the PKK dissolving itself.
An automatic translation of a Turkish tweet, saying "We are witnesses to a historical period in which the PKK was able to 'call' to the Turkish Grand National Assembly! There is no point in dissolving the PKK. The main one is the KCK. There is the Pyd in Syria and the PJAK in Iran that is affiliated with it. Recently, Zubeyr Aydar from the KCK administration openly stated on a news site that the dissolution of the PKK does not bind the other groups. Don't the speakers who are celebrating and showing off their roses on the screen know that they are extras in the disarmament and self-erasure operation of a PKK that has long been erased from history?! Our border neighbor YPG/PYD is already the Pentagon's weapons depot!" A line drawing of a woman saying "woaw" (in response to something being said out of frame) and thinking "based based based"

Tiny Sab says they don't know what I'm talking about, the apricots are clearly huge.

Tiny fox apricots!
An adorable fox plushie holding a very small apricot, roughly the same size to them as a normal apricot would be to a human. There's a small pile of more small apricots in the background.

Happy International Workers' Day, everyone!
An adorable fox at a firing range in Rojava. The fox is sitting by a low tone wall, with an AK-47 and a marksman rifle. The range looks across a small valley to some low hills.

Sadly I don't have any to hand to take my own photos, and I think it might vary by source, but most of the ones I've had had this on the front:

I first saw camels on the way to my first deployment to Raqqa in 2017, and was obviously excited but just assumed that it was normal. You know, middle east, desert, obviously going to see camels, no big deal. This is now the second time I've seen camels.

Met some friends.
An adorable fox sat next to a road, with a herd of camels grazing behind them. One of the camels has raised their head to look at the camera.

I believe this mural says "By reducing plastic, we protect our environment", but Google translate insists the last word is "content".
A mural of an anthropomorphic planet earth standing in a field of flowers holding plastic bottles in both hands and also a plastic bag in one hand. One of their eyebrows is raised and the other is lowered. There is a sign next to them saying "stop plastic pollution".

A mural by an NGO in Qamişlo, Syria. "Clean air for everyone: let's protect it."
A mural of a man wearing a half face breathing mask connected to a backpack with a tree growing in a bubble of clean blue air. He is standing in front of the silhouette of a city skyline, and the air above it is grey and filled with smoke.

Besê Hozat, Co-Chair of the KCK and member of the General Presidential Council of the PKK, discussing the 'peace process' with Turkey, said that Turkish attacks continuing, and that the PKK's unilateral ceasefire "has no meaning in the face of these attacks".

Despite my best attempts, I didn't manage to get a clear photo of any of the popular but controversial Mazlum Abdi flags, or of the two bold souls who turned up to the PYD nevroz with KDP party flags.

The event is held at one of the town's old reservoirs. It's been completely dry for years since Turkey dammed the river and diverted all of the water to agriculture north of the border.
A festival site and a huge carpark on the flat bottom of a wide, shallow valley. The sides of the valley are rocky.

Nevroz in Hassakah.
A park at night with a large group of people gathered in front of a brightly lit stage. Many people are waving flags associated with Kurdistan or the Kurdish freedom movement. A crowd in front of a stage in the daytime. The stage is partly obscured by the flags being waved, which include Ala Rengin, pictures of Abdullah Öcalan, and a Şengal flag. A wider view of the crowd, showing the central flagpole with a large flag of Abdullah Öcalan An adorable fluffy fox plushie at the back of the crowd.
