A rune stick with an interesting inscription from Narsaq, Greenland. Runologist Erik Moltke interprets the first line of the inscription as; Á sæ, sæ, sæ es Ása sát; “On the sea, the sea, the sea is the ambush (or dwelling?) of the Æsir”, and a charm for protection at sea. The second line can be read as “bibrau(?) is the name of the maiden who sits on the blue (pond?)”, which may refer to a goddess, perhaps Frigg. Two rune sticks with very similar inscriptions have been found in Bergen, so it must have been a well known charm. One side has the full Younger Futhark, and the other, a series of bindrunes; likely a charm of sorts.

The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych.
