“And when they came north off Dumbshaf a man came over from the shore and entered service with them on the trip. He was named Rauðgrani. One-eyed was he. He had a blue-flecked, cowled cloak studded down to the middle of his legs. Jóstein the priest wasn't keen on him, for Rauðgrani spoke of heathendom and old lore with Gestr’s men, and said it best to worship by sacrifice for one's good luck. And one day when Rauðgrani was urging them to heathenism, the priest, all wrathful, suddenly grasped a crucifix and placed it on the head of Rauðgrani. He plunged overboard, but never came up afterwards. They realized then that he had been Óðinn. Gestr only regarded the priest coolly.” ~Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss
It’s interesting how several Sagas about the big bad king who converted everyone don’t outright deny the existence of the Gods.

Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. Sebi said data, emails and other documents are being retrieved from the seized devices and detailed investigation is in progress. Perpetrators of these scams will create a public group on Telegram to promote these investment packages that are usually accompanied by fake testimonies and sometimes advertised as being Shariah-compliant. Interested investors will be asked to directly message the representatives to begin investing in the various investment packages offered. "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices.
