We’ve determined a portion of our Copilot infrastructure in North America is utilizing a high number of resources, and we're rebalancing traffic to remediate the issue. More information is available under CP1293219 in the M365 admin center.

We're investigating an issue that's affecting Microsoft Copilot in North America. We're reviewing our telemetry to determine what is leading to impact. More information is available under CP1293219 in the admin center.

Seth Meyers reminds us how batshit crazy the last 3 weeks have been: Trump fired AG Pam Bondi. He posted a meme of himself as Jesus then said he thought it was a meme of himself as a doctor. He said the Pope is weak on crime. A MAGA podcaster said Trump is under demonic influence. Pete Hegseth read a fake bible verse from Pulp Fiction. Kash Patel thought he was fired because he got locked out of his computer. A FEMA official claims he once teleported to a Waffle House. Lindsey Graham was seen at Disney World by himself. RFK Jr. cut off a dead raccoon’s penis on the side of the road. Kristi Noem’s husband has giant fake balloon boobs.

@NotionsofNick @AdamSchefter There also a darker blue

@AdamSchefter No more gradient numbers and the shoulder horn comes to a point in the front.

@DLWeat @DavidSchwartz70 @NYCMayor Dana - you’re dumb

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it. Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic they are or how their feelings are against him. And many times, make them feel heard. Elected officials, nonprofit and religious leaders, advocates, and activists on both sides of the political spectrum who met with him told me that. Don't take my word for it, President Trump is pretty public about it. That's why he's currently the mayor of New York City. If you don't like his politics or you're like me, who opposed his candidacy and is still troubled by some of his actions and statements, then don't take this post the wrong way; read into it how you should be better to communicate your message. Yes, putting ego aside for any public figure is not easy.

@JordanRaanan 🤮

Abdul Carter is switching to No. 3. Wore 51 last year. Yay or Nay?

spot-on, from @anneapplebaum Money quote: "Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places." "He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before." theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

Invite Stephen Colbert to join SNL for season 52 - Sign the Petition! c.org/QbrtxGJ6rX via @Change

The F runs every 6 minutes compared to this. And the M has 1 less car, so over crowding is not resolved

@MTA @RIOCny @Rooseveltisland the switch if the F and M is an epic failure. Train arrivals every 20 minutes in a weekday morning is unacceptable @NY1

@Derrick_NYC Then why aren’t there any service alerts in the station?

@JimJosephNYC This has nothing to do with the F/M swap. There is a train that is experiencing its emergency brakes activated near Grand Av-Newtown on the exp track.

Don Lemon: “The only difference between Donald Trump and Jim Jones is Donald Trump would charge you for the kool aid”

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

@Pessahphoto @Variety To quote Chris Rock, “ambitious don’t mean good”

@Variety Batman v Superman Extended version is one of the most ambitious DC movies ever

Zack Snyder says "go f*ck yourselves" if you think his fans are toxic and defends "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" as it turns 10 years old. “My 100% honest reaction to ‘BvS’ and how it’s received in the world is… Do you really want a movie that’s had all the edges shaved off it by the focus groups?Do you really want a movie where the decisions have been made in a boardroom, or tested ideas have been rendered for your enjoyment? Do you really want the Kmart version of your story? Is that what you really want?" "When we were trying for the PG-13 rating on ‘BvS,’ the MPAA kept kicking the movie back to us saying, ‘It’s still an R.’ I remember someone saying we got a report from the MPA saying, ‘We just don’t like the idea of Batman fighting Superman. That kind of makes it an R. He really hits him hard with that sink. That’s rude. That feels like an R.’ I’m just like, ‘Okay… let’s just pretend it’s not Batman vs. Superman for one second.' You realize then that we were kicking the zeitgeist in the nuts and that we were going to anger people,” Snyder continued. “Not only do they not want their heroes deconstructed, they don’t want their heroes battling each other on a road to deconstructing the why of their existence. That’s another sacrilege.” (via "Happy Sad Confused") variety.com/2026/film/news…

@_LaurenEdits LOVE this song!

I think a fella should only take as long as the song Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey to get ready in the morning. (and then the call back in No Weddings 😭)

this made me really sad

Florida man now feels "pain of regret" voting for Trump—after ICE detains his fiancée to deport her back to Cuba. They were both staunch MAGA supporters—he voted and she "prayed for him" to win. "We didn't think that he'd ever deport someone back to Cuba," he cries. "I mean, people say I voted for this... but I didn't vote for THIS!" Yamile Alcantu has been locked up for the past 8 months—she received deportation order after cops found 3 Xanax pills in her purse during a traffic stop. Her fiancée and life partner of 20 years, Wayne DeMario, is now left alone to run their guitar store in Miami, Florida.

‼️‼️ Congressman @tedlieu: The full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump R*PING children.

George W. Bush writes about George Washington, with a clear allusion to the current president: "Our first leader helped define not only the character of the presidency but the character of the country. Washington modeled what it means to put the good of the nation over self-interest and selfish ambition. He embodied integrity and modeled why it’s worth aspiring to. And he carried himself with dignity and self-restraint, honoring the office without allowing it to become invested with near-mythical powers. "I often say that the office of the president is more important than the occupant; that the institution of the presidency gives ballast to our ship of state. For that stability we are indebted to the wisdom of our founding fathers’ governing charter and the humility of our nation’s first president. It has guided us for 250 years, and it will strengthen us for our next 250 years."

#superbowl Let me do some math that nobody at Turning Point USA wants you to do. Kid Rock's "All-American Halftime Show" peaked at about 5 million YouTube viewers. Sounds impressive until you realize most of them watched less than a minute — which, to be fair, is about all anyone can handle of Kid Rock in 2026. YouTube pays creators roughly $2–5 per thousand monetized views. Even being generous and assuming every single viewer counted as a monetized impression, Kid Rock's stream generated somewhere between $10,000 and $25,000. Maybe if I am being generous, $50,000. Split that among four artists and a production team, and you're looking at what a mid-tier influencer makes on a sponsored post about protein powder. Meanwhile, across the dial on NBC: $8 million for 30 seconds. Ten premium slots sold for over $10 million each. Total Super Bowl ad haul? Somewhere between $900 million and $1 billion. NBC became the first network to potentially crack ten figures on a single broadcast. So to recap: NBC made roughly $8 million in the time it takes you to microwave popcorn. Kid Rock made enough to maybe cover his pyrotechnics budget. This is the thing about "alternative" media disruption that the culture war crowd doesn't want to grapple with: attention without monetization infrastructure is just vibes. Five million people rage-clicking a YouTube stream is not the same as 127 million viewers plugged into the most sophisticated advertising machine ever built. One is a business. The other is a Facebook comment section with a soundtrack. Bad Bunny just won Album of the Year at the Grammys for an all-Spanish-language record. Kid Rock played "Bawitdaba" — a song from 1999 — to an audience that was mostly there to own the libs. The market has spoken. It speaks fluent Spanish. And it has a billion-dollar ad budget. #SuperBowl #Media #Advertising #YouTube #KidRock
