TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

Exactly. If he was out there campaigning on "people shouldn't follow porn stars and models" and then it turned out he was secretly following them, that would be a scandal. "My account that is also run by team follows anyone who follows me and has a big following" is not.

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview. “They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer and all the diverse faith witness that has been at Broadview
because it is powerful - it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil. But we will not stop until the evil stops.
They have stolen our neighbors, they cannot steal our love and prayers for their return.
