The Anglo Saxon name for February is Solmōnaþ, meaning month of hearthcakes (similar to cookies), and Bede wrote that cakes were offered to the Gods. Milk was mentioned among offerings to the Gods by Ahmad ibn Fadlan, and is still frequently offered in Hinduism today. It’s entirely possible that at some point, our ancestors literally left out milk and cookies for the Gods. Painting by Joseph Martin Kronheim, 1868. 𐃏

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a driving force in markets for the past few weeks. Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback. Some privacy experts say Telegram is not secure enough That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future.
