- The CEO of the world's biggest company was forced to resign after affairs with at least two other people, including a subordinate. This not only is the company at the forefront of the AI revolution, it's also basically the company in control of both the computer industry and the American economy and stock market.
- A Brooklyn building collapsed yesterday, killing multiple people. The building effectively crumbled with any number of people inside.
- A riverboat has sank in New Orleans, after being struck by an oil tanker at feasible speed -- a direct hit! 130 were aboard, no word on how many may have been injured or worse.
- Yesterday, at some point, Microsoft had sufficient problems with its servers that Instagram was down over 24 hours, not all of their email is back even NOW...
- And a nonzero chance that it might have cause for a national suspension of all air travel four hours running as of this post and at least three more (if not far more than that!) -- with some people wondering if this might compromise professional and college sports, including the NFL!
And all of this under the cloud of that some people in the prepper community have stated the government has started to advise people to accelerate their prepping.
Hoo boy. Look out if this cascades. And, if it doesn't, it'll be better that all we're talking about is rigged football this weekend.
EDIT TO ADD: Well, for now it appears the football is safe. With a number of teams under the gun to travel, the ground stop was lifted about 5:15 PM PST, about four hours after it began.
