Google is reportedley buying out more employees after mass layoffs in 2023, replacing them with AI.

Has been my observation as well.

"The right," whatever that means, because it's changed - let's just say, Americans who do not consider themselves leftists or liberals, seem much more independent minded to me, having experience with both "sides."

"The left," I guess we will call them Democrats, although it seems they continue to evolve in a direction that goes beyond the traditional definition of "Democrats," simply follow -everything- their masters tell them to, in lockstep.

In the category of "news we haven't heard in a real long time," it seems the FBI arrested an actual bad guy today - someone who committed a real crime.

So, that's different.

At about 3:00pm EDT, a major outage hit many internet companies.

Massive outages are being reported across platforms including Spotify, Google Cloud, AWS, Cloudflare, Claude, YouTube, Gmail, and many, many, more.

Cloudflare System Status page reads: "We are seeing a number of services suffer intermittent failures. We are continuing to investigate this and we will update this list as we assess the impact on a per-service level."
