Looks like somebody has taken down Fortnite, Roblox and Snapchat in a major internet outage that should see children getting their homework in on time.

Walking above low cloud at Coombes Edge between Manchester and the Peak District. A bank of cloud sits in the valley below. The sky is blue, with the trail from a plane in the top left corner. A few sheep graze in the distance.

EFF is always so proud to represent security researchers doing important work. Our Coders' Rights Project often works with DEFCON presenters, and two of our clients are presenting today about schools, bathroom vape detectors, and audio recordings. www.wired.com/story/schoo...

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect.

So profoundly reluctantly.

But, good lord have they earned it.

I met this marvelous individual in person. I can't tell you their whole life story, but I can tell you this...

1. They are real (not a bot, etc)
2. They are special
3. If you are seeking a roommate near Raleigh you could make a really big difference in their life right now.

Did I do that right? :ps:
