That's interesting, because they claim to protect websites from spikes in unusual traffic
A Cloudflare spokesperson said the company observed a “spike in unusual traffic” to one of its services around 6:20 a.m. ET, causing some traffic passing through its network to experience errors.
Cloudflare down: Company blames 'unusual' spike in traffic before outage errors
OpenAI's ChatGPT and Elon Musk's social media platform X appear to have been affected by the Cloudflare issues.

At a rugby club in small-town Leicestershire. This was on the window ledge in the toilet. Fearing the worst, I scanned the QR & opened it in an incognito window…

It’s a link to Amnesty International’s explainer on asylum & refugees 😍

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.

Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

Need to find ways to ask old people about 50 years ago which makes them forget that they were young then but old now
That's because I came along that March and FUCKED EVERYTHING UP. You're welcome.

No there is another secret law from 1450 where HRH quotes a passage in Latin, eats a swan, tucks one trouser leg into a sock - and then TV licences are free for everyone with a credit card with a last odd digit

Farage will try to not go down with this ship
i feel like there’s going to be a slew of important people tomorrow and in the weeks to come claiming to have had a damascene experience in the midst of all this… and i think it’s good to establish up front and right away that all of those people are huge fucking liars.

I don’t watch BBC news or politics content, but not for the reasons the BBC thinks.

And, no, being attacked by both the right and left doesn’t mean you must be getting something right
Panorama made a stupid editing mistake. But compare this to the deliberate and systemic attempt, sustained across years, to ensure that BBC output aligns ever more closely to the demands of economic power. Against your straw of bias, I raise you a haystack.
