If you think the Microsoft Outlook outage is pretty normal, you are definitely very wrong.
Read this carefully
Most people have no idea what’s coming…
No hackers caused the Microsoft 365 collapse.
Microsoft’s own automated health-check system glitched and started killing healthy servers.
That triggered a global chain-reaction crash across 450 million commercial seats.
For over 9 hours, their emergency fixes failed as rebooted servers died the second traffic returned.
Telehealth clinics, payrolls, and government offices froze overnight.
Even OpenAI and Anthropic workplace AI tools went dark at the exact same time.
Now look at what’s coming next.
Autonomous AI agents are being wired directly into banking, power grids, and global supply chains.
All running on the same 3 centralized cloud monopolies.
When an automated script malfunctions next time, it won't just delay your emails.
It will freeze payment networks, lock hospitals out of patient data, and halt deliveries in seconds.
We handed critical infrastructure to self-running cloud systems with zero human-speed fail safes.
Yesterday wasn't a tech glitch.
It was a preview.
@run_bull_ Yes. Stuff like this doesn’t happen without backups, fail safes, overrides to other systems - unless actively intentionally hacked.
And the hack attempts they face daily I think would boggle most people’s minds - how many millions are out there
I’d like this better if they provided anything ON the ice this season. Absolute net negative, liabilities at this point.
But - I admit I’m more of a fan of guys helping the team win- vs likeable guys “earning cute / clever points” off the ice.
Does nothing for me. But I get - some “fans” love it…. just like they love Marcus tough guy fighting (and costing the team unneeded penalties) - because it’s one thing he still can do
@realredsd If this were confirmed to be true - this is a direct act of war by Iran.
How can they not know this? Whether dems or in board or not (and most sane ones would be on board) -DJT / Hegseth / Rubio are justified to turn irans military sites into glass factories immediately
One of the first orders Douglas MacArthur gave his soldiers when he landed in Japan was that none of them were to eat Japanese food.
Virtually the entire Japanese population was starving. The cities had been firebombed. Harvests had failed. The demands of the war had drained the countryside. Food that used to flow in from Korea, Taiwan, and China had stopped coming. Around 5.1 million Japanese soldiers and civilians were returning home from across Asia, and another million would follow the next year, all of them hungry.
MacArthur arrived in Tokyo on August 30, 1945. He had been appointed Supreme Commander by President Truman. His first priority, before democracy, before the constitution, before the war crimes trials, was to set up a food distribution network.
He decreed that no Allied personnel could assault Japanese people or eat the scarce Japanese food. American soldiers who had been killing Japanese weeks earlier were now ordered to leave Japanese rice alone.
Then American food started arriving. Large quantities of foodstuffs and medical stores were poured into the country from American sources. American military government teams were sent across Japan to supervise the distribution.
In fiscal year 1946, the U.S. government provided $92 million in loans through a program called Government Aid and Relief in Occupied Areas. From April 1946, private American relief organizations were allowed in as well, under an umbrella called Licensed Agencies for Relief in Asia. Even with all of this, millions of Japanese were still on the brink of starvation for several years.
A Japanese observer named Kazuo Kawai put the whole project in one sentence.
"Democracy cannot be taught to a starving people."
I am Japanese. There is almost no Japanese family tree that does not pass through that winter. The grandmothers who fed my parents lived to feed them because American food reached the ports.
Most Japanese have never been told this clearly. They should be.
The old enemy fed us.
@run_bull_ Man, I live in a place now where there aren’t a lot of flights (Rapid City SD)
But I remember how eerie and hard to get used to - the overhead silence was on 9/12/01 and beyond…especially in / around MSP flight patterns
@AnthonyLaPanta It would be better timing if they put this out after either of these current dead weight guys gave the Wild something - anything - ON the ice
They’ve been a serious liability all year - injured or healthy
Let’s recap the events of this week…
-NVIDIA’s market value plunges nearly $2 trillion from its peak.
-Jensen Huang resigns as CEO.
-Eight people killed in a Brooklyn building collapse.
-Deadly mass shooting in Washington, D.C.
-Microsoft 365 suffers a massive global outage.
-Tanker collides with a river cruise ship on the Mississippi River.
-FAA issues a nationwide ground stop.
And it’s Friday the 13th.
I’M SORRY, BUT WHAT IS GOING ON?!
