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".

The CEO killer gets caught, and the $60k reward is being denied because the guy called 911 instead of CrimeStoppers. You can’t make this up: a system built on denying claims denies another claim—full circle capitalism at work. #eattherich #denydefenddepose
