AP, October 3: Facebook whistleblower alleges social network fed U.S. Capitol riot

CBC, October 4: Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp hit by global outage

I'm not saying they're connected. I'm just saying this is the lead story in the national news in Canada today.

At 90 years of age, William Shatner is heading into space on the next Blue Origin flight. No word on whether he's got the big seat in the middle.

If this story is accurate - and I see no reason why it wouldn't be - you'll have to pick one or the other.

What if Chrome broke features of the web and Google forgot to tell anyone? Oh wait, that's exactly what happened

If you don't use sites with pop-ups, this is still worrying because Google is choosing to ignore the W3C standards for webpage design. So if you like the idea of being able to access next year something you wrote last year, and you remember what happened to all those "Flash sites" when Adobe stopped supporting Flash... well, here's the download link for Firefox.

According to an article published yesterday by Variety, J. Michael Straczynski is the head writer and executive producer of a complete reboot of Babylon 5 that is currently in development for The CW.

One interesting difference that's been reported is that the story will focus on Sheridan from the start rather than Sinclair. We know now that Sheridan was a substitution when Michael O'Hare left the show because of problems with mental illness; I suspect that JMS is simply returning the story to its original arc with the later character in place of the earlier.

Not much more than that has been released yet, so we'll have to wait and see what develops.
