Just let me know which one I should restart
Replying to @MSFT365Status
We’re opening all available pathways to restore service, as our actions taken thus far have not provided the anticipated relief. We found a core process on affected servers is becoming overwhelmed, causing capacity loss. To validate a potential recovery, we're isolating a portion of infrastructure, restarting affected components, and reintroducing traffic to confirm the services remain stable before applying the change more broadly. More info under EX1550543 and MO1550821 in the Microsoft 365 admin center, as well as status.cloud.microsoft if the admin center is not available to you.

Some people need to realise that politics isn’t endless quarrelling 24/7, 365 days per year.
This is something you would expect a former PM with spare time on their hands to do, not the sitting PM. Such an unserious man.

This is clever comms. It is ridiculous how much things cost to build. Completely ridiculous
Cliveden House burnt down in 1849. The architect behind Parliament rebuilt it in two years. Now, Parliament has spent over a decade just planning its own repairs. What happened to the country that built things? 👇

Sometimes you just gotta say fuck it. Pull the trigger & open twitter on a packed train. Good luck everybody else.

My dear friend @jonmchu, I am ECSTATIC that “Crazy Rich Asians” is coming back with more stories as a @hbomax series, BUT if my favorite movie character of all-time, Astrid aka Gemma Chan, isn’t returning in some capacity, I just can’t!

According to folklore, you can only balance an egg upright on two days out of the entire year, the March & September equinox. The belief relies on the gravitational pull of the sun, as on the day of the equinox, appears directly over the planet's equator.
