"An Omaha woman got a surprise visitor when she found an opossum sprawled out on her porch couch—panting, satisfied, and covered in chocolate after devouring an entire Costco tuxedo chocolate mousse cake. Dubbed the “Cake Bandit,” the opossum was admitted to Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, where she’s recovering not just from her indulgence but also from lead toxicity, a condition that may have gone unnoticed without her viral cake heist.
Social media users are rallying behind the furry food thief, with comments like, “We’ve all been there, girl.” Meanwhile, Nebraska Wildlife Rehab is selling “Cake Bandit” T-shirts, turning the scandal into a fundraiser to support native wildlife.
The opossum is expected to make a full recovery and will be released back into the wild by late March or early April—hopefully with a newfound taste for something less decadent.

At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a driving force in markets for the past few weeks. For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content. "Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world."
