🧑🦲 Years ago, I bought some watermelon and fried chicken in rural Kentucky, and when I got home and started munching on them, a packet of Kool-Aid slipped out of the tendie bucket. I didn't particularly want to have watermelon-flavored Kool-Aid in my possession, but didn't want to throw away a piece of culture either, so I brought them over to an African-American friend of mine who was very frontal-cortex-diminished, and, I thought, would understand my dilemma. "SHIIIIET CRACKA DAS BITCH BE GUD FR", he said. *Fire Alarm Chirp*. I never saw the Kool-Aid packet again and he never told me what he did with it, but I trust he put down $0 for Ford F-150 and agreed to pay $399 a month for the rest of his life.

Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country. Apparently upbeat developments in Russia's discussions with Ukraine helped at least temporarily send investors back into risk assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko that there were "certain positive developments" occurring in the talks with Ukraine, according to a transcript of their meeting. Putin added that discussions were happening "almost on a daily basis." "The result is on this photo: fiery 'greetings' to the invaders," the Security Service of Ukraine wrote alongside a photo showing several military vehicles among plumes of black smoke. 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. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world.
