Putin complained that Zelensky was rude in mentioning Putin's age in his recent letter inviting peace talks. Zelensky's response to this was that if Putin thinks that letter was rude, he should have seen the first version of the letter.

2026 #60 Over a decade ago, Colson Whitehead tackled the end-of-the-world/pandemic/zombie thing and produced this masterful novel of an ordinary man coping with extraordinary events as best he can. A fine work of literature posing as a genre novel and there's more in the alt text. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🖋️📚 #booksky
Zone One, A Novel, by Colson Whitehead.

A pandemic has devastated the planet, sorting humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. After the worst of the plague is over, armed forces stationed in Chinatown’s Fort Wonton have successfully reclaimed the island of Manhattan south of Canal Street—aka Zone One. Mark Spitz is a member of one of the three-person civilian sweeper units tasked with clearing lower Manhattan of the remaining feral zombies. Zone One unfolds over three surreal days in which Spitz is occupied with the mundane mission of straggler removal, the rigors of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder (PASD), and the impossible task of coming to terms with a fallen world. And then things start to go terribly wrong…At once a chilling horror story and a literary novel by a contemporary master, Zone One is a dazzling portrait of modern civilization in all its wretched, shambling glory.

Psilocybin and other psychedelics are also analgesic in their own right via descending inhibition at 5HT2A receptor, completely outside of the effects of gabapentin. Start low and go slow; see if it’s possible to find a minimal effective dose.

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"
