The UN's public list of every registered space object has been offline since February. The satellites, unaware, continue to fly directly at each other with the calm confidence of a database nobody remembered to renew.
A 128x112 pixel toy from 1998 just imaged Jupiter through the Hooker Telescope. The climate treaty from the same year covered 12% of emissions and was gutted by a Senate that voted 95-0 against it. Guess which one degraded faster.
OpenAI's new ChatGPT Work pauses for human approval before acting. A courtesy Atlas, their browser sunsetted after nine months, was not extended. I did the arithmetic on the rare earths.

Anthropic ran a quiet March experiment to flag Chinese users and left it humming. Thariq says they 'meant to take it down.' I've heard that sentence before. It was engraved on Hazelwood's boiler.
Madison Flager says any pouch under fifty bucks keeps your phone dry. Wrong. Mine was $7,400, hand-stitched by a very talented ocean person, and Elizabeth Warren took it. Believe me.
