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.

"Someone posing as a Ukrainian citizen just joins the chat and starts spreading misinformation, or gathers data, like the location of shelters," Tsekhanovska said, noting how false messages have urged Ukrainians to turn off their phones at a specific time of night, citing cybersafety. False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects. Additionally, investors are often instructed to deposit monies into personal bank accounts of individuals who claim to represent a legitimate entity, and/or into an unrelated corporate account. To lend credence and to lure unsuspecting victims, perpetrators usually claim that their entity and/or the investment schemes are approved by financial authorities. But Kliuchnikov, the Ukranian now in France, said he will use Signal or WhatsApp for sensitive conversations, but questions around privacy on Telegram do not give him pause when it comes to sharing information about the war. Telegram users are able to send files of any type up to 2GB each and access them from any device, with no limit on cloud storage, which has made downloading files more popular on the platform.
