To translate this to normal speech, they fired a guy who past 20 years been manually deploying patches to prod and replaced him with AI. AI can't figure out the root password because it's written on sticky note below his desk. They're trying to locate the desk.
We’ve monitored the status of the changes applied to improve serviceability and confirmed they're not taking as expected. We’re identifying alternate workstreams that can be applied to increase capacity in the face of sustained traffic management imbalances.

WHITE SUPREMACIST and COWARD Edward Jacob Lang put on a GORILLA mask and went to the home of three Black Ole Miss students in an attempt to INTIMIDATE them.
These are the same three Black women who were targeted last week when racist white students stood at their door making MONKEY noises on their Ring camera.
So what does this grown man do? Puts on a gorilla mask, stands outside what appears to be their home and beats his chest at his own camera. And yells “Chimping out!”
Then he posted it and called one of them a “monkey b****.”
Let’s call this what it is. He’s a RACIST. And he’s a COWARD.
A grown man in a mask, hiding his face, trying to scare three college girls at their own home.
And this isn’t new for him. Since his TRUMP PARDON, he has been ARRESTED again and again. Minnesota. Twice in Texas. Minneapolis again in August.
And right now he’s out on a $250,000 bond for allegedly threatening to SHOOT Black teenager Karmelo Anthony during a murder trial in Texas.
The judge ordered a GPS ankle monitor and banned him from the state. But nothing stops him from showing up at three Black college girls’ door in Mississippi.
Those young women didn’t go looking for this. He came to THEIR door.
UPDATE: Ole Miss CONFIRMS Alaina Kunes Is No Longer a Student After Viral Racist Monkey-Gesture Video.
Kunes, 18, publicly identified herself as one of the women filmed making monkey noises and gestures outside an apartment shared by three Black students in Oxford, Mississippi.
She apologized, calling her actions “insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful.”
Kunes claims she had never met the residents and didn’t know their race. However, one resident previously described the women as her upstairs neighbors.
The university is investigating the incident and has confirmed Kunes is no longer enrolled.
Ole Miss has NOT disclosed whether she voluntarily withdrew or was removed.

This reads like a dystopian nightmare.
The barbarism of the Russian government knows few bounds. Forcing abducted Ukrainian children, who have since reached military age, to fight against their own country is savagery that goes beyond the pale.
And yet Witkoff and Kushner are in Moscow, negotiating with the same brutal government over Ukraine's future and Europe's security architecture, while smiling for the cameras and accepting gifts.
Trump's role in this should not be forgotten. By appeasing Putin and encouraging him to believe that he will ultimately prevail, Trump weakens Russia's incentives to end the conflict sooner, allowing Putin to continue his butchery.

Steph Curry calls out Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas, and everyone else talking about Ayesha Curry, telling them to keep his wife’s name out of their mouths 😳
“Kind of speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they’re allowed and what they’re not allowed to do.”

I’m honestly surprised that people are surprised by this. It’s one of the worst kept secrets in our business that dude has been lying about his political beliefs for a long time. I also have some receipts, but I’ll keep those to myself.
Make no mistake, he isn’t the only one. There’s a lot of people in our business who are cosplaying for clicks and views. It’s one of the most shameful and dishonest things that one can do.
I applaud Nick for keep it real.
I’m not going to go back and forth with you (it’s football season for God’s sake!), but I can’t believe you’re actually denying this interaction so I’ll jog your memory:
August of 2016, during the Olympics, at the (now shuttered) Intercontinental hotel, a couple blocks from the Fox lot off Pico.
We had just finished a night show that no longer exists where (among other things) we debated the Summer Olympics (it was a bad segment because we didn’t have rights to the footage, so we could only show still pictures of what we were talking about) & went to have a drink/meal with a colleague who was on the show with us.
The exchange I discussed happened in the lobby bar, at a table with said colleague, and then after I said what I needed to say to to you I went outside and bummed a cigarette off a valet.
We haven’t spoken in person since.
You know as well as I do this is 100% true, and verifiable, by the colleague that was with us and/or our then bosses who contemporaneously heard the story.
We actually also had the same agent at the time, and you and I both know he heard the story and could confirm it as well.
So, I’ll pull a page out of your book; I’ll bet you $1,000,000 I’m telling the truth.
I assume you’ll pretend you never saw this tweet & continue the grift. And that’s cool, but we both know what the facts are.
Also, let this be a reminder that while you have found an amazing lane where you often are actually the smartest guy in the room, this ain’t that lane. So my advice would be to tread carefully.

At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.
One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.
She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.
The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.
He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.
His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.
He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.
Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.
In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.
It was her.
She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”
Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.
On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.
Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.
In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.
10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.
A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”
It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.
He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.
She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.
What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?

Man what a game to be on the call of.
Memphis beats Alabama 75-70 for their first win over an SEC team in nearly nine years.
Asked Hana Haden how big it is to score a win like this so early in her tenure ⬇️

Correct. Racism IS why it took 146 years after Reconstruction for Mississippi, the Blackest state in the nation, to elect another Black senator.

Listen, man. I know I'm only one person, and people are going to feel the way they feel ultimately about Stephen A. Smith doing this interview. He's going to be a rich, powerful, and wealthy man regardless, but I've made HBCU advocacy and being a part of HBCU media my literal job.
Seeing these lies propagated without any pushback is enraging me.
1) He did not provide a record amount of funding for HBCUs. Both Barack Obama and Joe Biden provided more money to HBCUs.
He did not provide a record level of funding for HBCUs (both Obama and Biden allocated more). Trump's claim relies on the FUTURE Act of 2019, but that law just permanently renewed existing funding that had briefly lapsed—it didn't create a new, record-setting pot of money.
2) HBCUs were not failing before Donald Trump got into office and set aside that money. That's flagrantly false and disrespectful to HBCUs. Yes, HBCUs are under-resourced because many have been underfunded by state and local governments for decades, but HBCUs, as institutions across the nation, were not about to go bankrupt.
Especially given the fact that Trump's administration followed the Barack Obama administration, and then this second one followed record investment by the Biden administration
3) In February 2017, Donald Trump signed an executive order to move the White House Initiative of HBCUs from under the Department of Education to directly under the White House. I know this for a fact because months later, I was a White House HBCU All Star in the 2017-2018 school year (now called White House Scholars).
President Biden did move it back under the Department of Education, but it doesn't really matter what it is under if Trump isn't doing anything remotely meaningful with said initiative (outside of using it as his get-out-of-jail-free card when talking about these supposed things he's done for the Black community).
4) President Joe Biden had a board of advisors for HBCUs that featured Delaware State president Dr. Tony Allen as the leader of that board. They convened regularly. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also invited HBCU presidents to the White House during this same time.
So saying Democrats didn't do that is patently false, but again, Stephen A. Smith isn't providing pushback.
I know this will be the one tweet that doesn't go viral or get anybody to like or retweet it, and I don't really care because I'm going to say what I have to say.
But I'm going to address this on my show next week. HBCU Pulse Radio. Don't worry about it.

The work continues! Just this week at Memphis City Council we passed two pieces of important legislation.
First, we passed my BLIGHT REMEDIATION ordinance. This will ensure that absentee landlords are held accountable for blighted properties that are eye sores in our neighborhoods and cause safety concerns in the community. No longer will residents have to worry about the city’s ability to take legal action to clean up these places and increase the property values around them.
Secondly, we voted for PAY INCREASES FOR SANITATION WORKERS, including AFSCME union members. This budget amendment ensures that those working to keep our city running earn a living wage.
Stay tuned for what’s next!

One high school educator, a U.S. citizen, was thrown to the ground by immigration agents and choked so hard he couldn’t breathe.
He’s still haunted by the encounter.
“I felt lucky to be alive,” he told us.

The more we learn to love Jesus, the more capable we become of loving as He does. Our friendship with Christ also gives rise to a more authentic friendship with others, one that sincerely seeks their good, knows how to forgive and remains faithful especially in times of difficulty. How beautiful it is to find friends who help us grow and draw us closer to God. #ApostolicJourney #Peru
