Grass Roots - Let's Live For Today (1967)

YES: Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize — and somewhere in Mar-a-Lago, a man is absolutely losing his mind over it. The nomination was submitted by a professor at the University of Oslo, citing Zelensky and the Ukrainian people's defense of democracy against Russian aggression as a force that has helped preserve peace across Europe. The argument is straightforward: Ukraine didn't just fight for its own survival — it held the line for a continent. While Trump floats the idea of handing Ukraine over like it's some kind of real estate deal, Zelensky was busy being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The contrast is almost too good. Nobel specialists have been quick to note that winning as an active wartime leader would be historically unusual — the committee tends to prefer its laureates on the other side of the conflict. But the nomination itself? That's a statement. Three hundred eligible nominators from 33 countries signed on. This isn't a fringe gesture. This is the international community making clear whose side of history it's on. And then there's Trump — who has spent years chasing the Nobel like a man obsessed, even going so far as to reportedly pressure world leaders to nominate him. He's gotten nothing. Zelensky, who has spent three years in a war zone, leading his country under the constant threat of missiles, hasn't asked for a single award — and the nominations keep coming. The Nobel Committee will announce its decision in October. Whether Zelensky wins or not almost doesn't matter at this point. The message has already been sent. And the world is paying attention. Drop a 🇺🇦 if you think Zelensky deserves it.

“Drive” by The Cars remains one of the most beautiful, bittersweet songs ever recorded. Soft, haunting, and somehow still comforting.
