The Old Bell Tavern 🔔 - 95 Fleet St, Greater, #CityOfLondon, #London, #EC4Y
#FleetStreet was one of the most important places in #London for a long time. Like Lombard Street was for banking, or Cloth Fair was for textiles, Fleet Street was the home of printing and journalism. As with each of these areas, there's far more to Fleet Street and the 'Old Bell' than meet the eye. From its tales of England's journalistic pioneers to rumours of the secret service, this little gem is a treasure chest of goodies. Join myself (@VinnieSullivan) and @ChelseaDan5 as we visit this beauty and explain a few reasons as to why it, and its like, should be preserved or imitated long into the future.

Elsewhere, version 8.6 of Telegram integrates the in-app camera option into the gallery, while a new navigation bar gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing, and more. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into." At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. The fake Zelenskiy account reached 20,000 followers on Telegram before it was shut down, a remedial action that experts say is all too rare. Telegram boasts 500 million users, who share information individually and in groups in relative security. But Telegram's use as a one-way broadcast channel — which followers can join but not reply to — means content from inauthentic accounts can easily reach large, captive and eager audiences.
