As an IT Professional on train with AWS region US-EAST-1 down, my first inkling about the ongoing worldwide outage came from a child's conversation about Roblox being down.

Please keep your emergency ten year old on hand at all terms to ensure full monitoring coverage.

Sheffield General Cemetery are advertising their chapel as a small wedding venue.

No notes.
Facebook post by Sheffield General Cemetery Text: Looking for a beautiful but simple way to say 'I do' that's just right for you? Photo: two people wearing sheets (like ghosts) and sun glasses.

What a weird headline to come across my feed!

No it's not that David Mitchell, although it would make a good story for Eould I lie to you.
News headline from Google News, originating website gov.uk Headline Text: "David Mitchell convicted for covering Ryan with potatoes and silt" Photo: what appears to be a Wellington boot covered 2/3 way up with what must be potatoes and silt, but could be any brown mushy substance.

Dear British Podcasters/Authors/Content Creators

While I enjoy your content for my mental health and well-being, I try to limit the amount of exposure to Trump I have in a given day. If you're going to make every episode of your news podcast about him, I'm out.

I'm looking at you @newsagents
Listing for The Newagents podcasts with three episodes in a row about Trump.
