There are no winners in the war in Ukraine. Civilian casualties are mounting as Ukrainians resist Russian invaders. But on social media, things are playing out differently. Laura Edelson, a misinformation researcher and co-director of the Cybersecurity for Democracy project at NYU, says Ukraine is winning the information war. On today’s show, she makes us smart on why that is, where platforms have fallen short in protecting users and what regular folks can do to protect themselves instead. Plus: rising gas prices, eggcorns and a festive answer to the Make Me Smart question. Here's everything we talked about today: “Fact and Mythmaking Blend in Ukraine’s Information War” from The New York Times “Ukraine misinformation spreads as users share videos out of context” from Axios “This is how journalists figure out if all those Ukraine videos are real” from The Washington Post “Biden announces ban on Russian oil imports, other energy products” from ABC News “Senate passes anti-lynching bill” from NPR “Why do we import Russian (and other foreign) oil when we have a lot of it in the U.S.?” from Marketplace “This Is What ‘Eggcorns’ Are (and Why They’re Jar-Droppingly Good)” from Time Give today to support Make Me Smart.

GamerDude discovered a new phrase this week: "fossil word." That's an old or ancient word that we no longer use in its original context, but still use as part of a phrase we continue to say today. "Bumper crop" is a prime example because the "bumper" from that phrase used to mean a large drinking vessel, filled to the brim. That use of the word "bumper" has essentially disappeared, except in the context of describing a "bumper crop" - a crop that is full, or abundant.  GamerDude talks about a number of fossil words, including vim, knell, wedlock and pink. He also talks about "eggcorns."  An eggcorn is a misheard idiom or saying, and exists because people either don't know, or don't understand, the meaning or origin of the original phrase.  "Chomping at the bit," for instance, is an eggcorn because the actual phrase is "champing at the bit."  But because "champing" is a fossil word, and people don't know what "champing" actually is anymore, they substitute "chomping" and create an eggcorn.  GamerDude talks about other eggcorns, including "for all intensive purposes" and making a "mute point."
