Navy sailors are allowed to swim in the ocean during designated events known as "swim calls." These events are a tradition where sailors can jump from the deck of their ship into the open ocean for relaxation and morale-boosting. Swim calls often occur during long deployments when the ship is in calm and safe waters. Sharpshooters and rescue boats are on standby to ensure the safety of the sailors, watching for sharks and preventing anyone from drifting too far from the ship. The practice dates back to at least World War II and is still enjoyed by sailors today, offering a unique and memorable break from the rigors of naval service. Ships across the U.S. Navy fleet, including aircraft carriers and submarines, participate in these swim calls, providing sailors with a refreshing and enjoyable experience.

Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open. As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. 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. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram.
