MY SERVICE IS STILL FINE. But I was at the Verizon store today to pick up my my new iPhone 16 Pro (review forthcoming) and there was a steady stream of people who had no service. When will the Verizon outage be fixed? Here’s what we know.
EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Preterm births rising in United States. “The rise dovetailed with an increase in some factors that make an early delivery more likely, including rates of diabetes, sexually transmitted infections and mental health conditions, along with a corresponding decline in factors that protect against it.”
A VERY OLD KIND OF WISDOM: “It’s a very old kind of ‘wisdom’ that the contemporary world has walked past.”
IT ONLY AFFECTS ICKYY RED-STATERS THEY’D RATHER DIED OUT ANYWAY: The entire Biden-Harris Cabinet is missing in action on Hurricane Helene disaster response.. “Zero Cabinet-level officials are on the ground in the American South.”
UPDATE (From Ed): Missing in action?! Why the man himself says he was “commanding” — and on the phone for two hours!
"I was on the phone for two hours" as a response to Americans dying in floods ought to be remembered as one of the most shameful statements ever uttered by an American president. https://t.co/VbEe7uey3p

WE’VE SEEN HOW ISRAEL WEAPONIZED PAGERS, CAN’T LET CHINA WEAPONIZE OUR CARS: Is your car safe? Biden’s new ban could wipe Chinese tech off the road. “While the full report can be found on the Department of Commerce notice, the breakdown by the White House highlighted systems which could control or correct vehicle movement, any data collection on driver and/or passengers, all cameras, sensors, autonomous driving software, and anything which could record and/or send information about American infrastructure.”
IT’S WORKING FOR ME: Massive Verizon outage — live updates and what to do with iPhone in SOS.
