"A Field Guide to the Apocalypse" notes that humans usually step in and help one another when a disaster strikes. Athena Aktipis: The ancient Greek definition is “a revealing,” so an apocalypse is any event that reveals the risks we’re facing. CNN: What role have apocalypses throughout history played in what you call humans’ “apocalypse resistance”? All those things help us get through, as they have throughout our evolution. Chalking this up as part of apocalypse prep can be a great way to carve out more time.

Whistleblower Edward Snowden has a new title: Russian citizen. U.S. authorities have for years wanted Snowden returned to the United States to face a criminal trial on espionage charges. Snowden said in 2019 that he was willing to return to the U.S. if he’s guaranteed a fair trial. In fact, in 2016, The Washington Post’s own editorial board opposed granting the whistleblower a pardon. He is one of 75 foreign nationals listed by the decree as being granted Russian citizenship.

REUTERS/Olesya AstakhovaSept 26 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Monday granted Russian citizenship to former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, nine years after he exposed the scale of secret surveillance operations by the National Security Agency (NSA). U.S. authorities have for years wanted him returned to the United States to face a criminal trial on espionage charges. He said that Snowden's wife Lindsay Mills, who gave birth to a son in 2020, would also apply for citizenship. Russia granted Snowden permanent residency rights in 2020, paving the way for him to obtain Russian citizenship. Putin, a former Russian spy chief, said in 2017 that Snowden, who keeps a low profile while living in Russia, was wrong to leak U.S. secrets but was not a traitor.
