"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.

The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform. "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. Ukrainian forces successfully attacked Russian vehicles in the capital city of Kyiv thanks to a public tip made through the encrypted messaging app Telegram, Ukraine's top law-enforcement agency said on Tuesday. But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford. Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Nikolai and Pavel Durov.
