Strangely enough, twitch streams and chat were working fine but everything else was broken, had an empty following list.

Oh no, not Cloudflare!

Oh right I use NextDNS, so anyway...

Oh, its also Google, Twitch, Discord and Etsy... and some AI girlfriend generator... and Spotify?

... People still use those? Aren't they worried about all the security and privacy concerns, the exploitative business models?

No?

Huh. Well, dang, sucks for those users I guess.

Ahem, annnyyyywaaaayyyy...

...

Ok, serious mode / tinfoil hat:

... Did maybe someone in the Trump admin just try to do a US internet blackout, given all the insane shit happening, and pulled a few wrong cords out?

...

Either way... and I cannot believe I am citing Ready Player One as a positive example of anything, but such is the nature of our collective degeneracy:

Tuesdays and Thursdays are now no internet days.

Go outside, touch grass, realize you're addicted to social media like a drug, and begin detoxing.

...

EDIT: Holy shit, Israel just struck Iran at multiple locations, presumably all or many related to their nuclear program... including Tehran.
