This whole Outlook thing is exactly why Hillary Clinton had her own server.
And sorry I'm posting so much, but I don't have anything else to do right now.

The Great Microsoft Outage of 2026: Microsoft Outlook, as well as multiple other Microsoft services, are experiencing a huge outage right now.
'"We're investigating reports of users experiencing issues accessing Exchange Online mailboxes through multiple connection methods in the Americas," the company wrote, after first reporting "users experiencing issues when accessing or using Microsoft Teams functionality in North America."
"We determined the elevated load isn't driven by an increase in traffic, but by a number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable; straining the remaining infrastructure," says Microsoft.' -ABC News

User impact: Users may be unable to connect to multiple Microsoft 365 services.
More info: Potentially impacted services include:
- Exchange Online
- Microsoft Teams
- SharePoint Online
- Microsoft Copilot 365
- Microsoft Defender XDR
Current status: We're aggressively pursuing all pathways to reduce impact. As a precaution, we've paused all deployments and configuration changes while we review recent changes for any correlation to this event. We've determined that the elevated load isn't driven by an overall increase in traffic, but by a large number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable, which is shifting load onto the remaining infrastructure. We're investigating what's causing these servers to become unavailable while we work to safely return them to service.
Scope of impact: This issue may affect users attempting to access the affected Microsoft 365 services.

The latest update from Microsoft:
Current status: While we haven't identified any recent changes that correlate with the start of impact, our investigation indicates the failed health checks may originate from a specific component on the affected servers that's responsible for processing them. We're deploying a targeted change to bypass this component on a subset of servers to validate whether this restores availability, and we've taken steps to prevent additional servers from being removed from service while we work to return the affected servers to service. We're also investigating why affected servers are experiencing elevated processor usage while handling requests.

Both Boston's and Milwaukee's Children's Hospitals under lockdown today. Boston was a bomb threat, haven't heard the reason for Milwaukee.

Insert the AOL floppy disk you received in the mail into your disk drive. Then click Start, and then click Run.
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.

This is so fucking heartbreaking.
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: SEVERE CHILD ABUSE, TORTURE ALLEGATIONS & CHILD HOMICIDE.
I am struggling to comprehend what I’m reading.
New details from the arrest report in the murder of Malayshia Allford (10) are absolutely horrifying.
Her foster mother, Carprice Williams (36), is accused of subjecting Malayshia to repeated physical abuse before her death.
According to two juvenile witnesses interviewed by investigators, Williams allegedly beat Malayshia with a phone cord, threw her down a flight of stairs, and forced her to repeatedly climb stairs while wearing a heavy weighted vest.
The children described injuries, including a swollen leg and deep cuts on her hands. They also alleged that Malayshia was deprived of food and water and required permission just to use the bathroom.
On October 24, the children reportedly saw Malayshia lying motionless in bed. She did not respond when they called her name.
And somehow it gets worse.
Investigators allege Williams used Malayshia’s own phone to send herself text messages on October 26, pretending the little girl had voluntarily gone to stay with her biological family.
That same morning, surveillance footage captured Malayshia’s body being removed from the foster home in a large bag.
Her body was eventually discovered in the trunk of a vehicle in New Jersey.
Williams is charged with murder and is being held without bail.
How does a child endure this level of abuse in a foster home without someone intervening?
I want to know who was responsible for checking on Malayshia. Whether anyone reported concerns. And whether there were opportunities to save her.
She was 10 years old.
She was placed in a home where she was supposed to be protected.
Instead, according to investigators, that home became the place where she suffered and died. 😩

Guy on the internet: smile more!
A pilot should not:
🔘become hysterical
🔘speak too quickly to be intelligible
🔘say, "We're going to crash into the ground!"
🔘scream like a little girl
🔘hyperventilate
🔘scream like a little girl again
A pilot needs a certain disposition. This is not it. That's the reality.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The aircraft was in an uncontrolled overspeed dive exceeding 20,000 ft/min from cruising altitude. Expecting calm is unrealistic; male pilots have screamed in CVRs facing death, e.g. Western 2605.

I hand out Halloween treats representing the company I work for, and yesterday we had so many trick-or-treaters that I ran out of the special goodies I had, and had to resort to the office candy dish. It was a great Halloween!

Why are we celebrating the fact that the State of Wisconsin is hoarding tax payer money?
And I don't know what Evers means when he's says they've cut taxes. Our property taxes continue to rise every year.
