Live now.

SpaceX is attempting to catch both stages with the same tower.

Booster catch first (~6.5 min after launch), ship catch tomorrow after 22+ hours in orbit.

SpaceX is trying something new today: catch both stages of Starship with the same tower.

Window opens at 4:45 p.m. CT. Booster catch ~6.5 minutes after launch (first for a V3), then Ship 42 spends over 22 hours in orbit deploying 26 Starlink V3s before attempting its own catch tomorrow.

First full recovery of an orbital system if it works.

Do you think the ship catch is realistic on the first try?

📠 It's 2026. Microsoft goes down. The fax machine makes a comeback.

During the global Microsoft 365 outage, a financial firm in Taiwan reportedly had to confirm trades by FAX.

Euronext told companies to use phones. Insurance giant Aviva turned to Bluetooth to transfer recordings.

Outlook, Teams and Copilot were disrupted. Businesses had to improvise.

Decades of technological progress.

And somewhere, a fax machine is having the best day of its life.

@UnseenM0tion Yeap, new update

🚨 Microsoft 365 outage: Recovery is underway, but it's not over.

Microsoft reports improving stability as infrastructure fixes are rolled out.

Outlook and Exchange Online are gradually recovering, with delayed emails being processed.

Some Microsoft 365 services, including features in Teams and Copilot, may still experience disruptions.

The root cause remains under investigation. Microsoft says there is no indication of malicious activity.

No confirmed timeline for full restoration.

☠️ Today was supposed to be our last day on Earth. Again.

And this time, the prediction came from scientists.

In 1960, three researchers published a paper in the prestigious journal Science titled “Doomsday: Friday, 13 November, A.D. 2026.”

Their mathematical model suggested that if human population growth continued at its historical pace, it would approach infinity on this exact date.

Not an asteroid. Not a nuclear war. Just too many of us.

Of course, the paper was partly tongue-in-cheek, and population growth eventually slowed.

66 years later, we're still here.

Another apocalypse successfully postponed. No explanation from management. 😏

Forget the Super Bowl. Someone get this man a recording contract 🎶

That's Jameis Winston singing “Who Let the Dogs Out?” in the middle of an NFL game.

Not for fun. He was trying to trick Washington's defense into jumping offsides on a crucial fourth down.

Nobody moved.

The Giants got a delay-of-game penalty and eventually lost 24–21.

The defense stayed disciplined.

The quarterback chose a music career. 💀

[NFL @NFL]

If you listen to nothing else today, at least listen to Jameis Winston's hard count here lmao 😂

@buitengebieden No way... That’s the best help ever!

@UnseenM0tion The cloud took a day off. Nobody approved it. 😂

🚨 Microsoft 365 outage spreads worldwide.

Outlook, Teams and Copilot have been disrupted, with nearly 140,000 Outlook problem reports in the US at the peak.

Government agencies and businesses have been affected. Even OpenAI and Anthropic reported problems with their Microsoft 365 integrations.

Microsoft says affected servers can become unresponsive again when traffic returns, complicating recovery.

The cloud was supposed to make everything easier.

Nobody mentioned how much could stop working at once.

Microsoft 365 and Outlook I haven't heard from you guys. 😪

Beautiful monster.

Believe it or not, this is an ant.

Photographer Joshua Coogler takes between 30 and 300 shots to create portraits like this, combining them through a technique called focus stacking.

The result? Something that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi horror movie.
