This week in the wild world of The Update, the internet caught a full-blown case of pneumonia after Cloudflare let out the tiniest sneeze — reminding us once again that our entire digital universe is apparently held together with bubble gum and hope. Meanwhile, the MTA promised a bold new era where rear-door boarding might finally become a thing… just as soon as OMNY stops behaving like a fussy toddler who refuses to get in the stroller.
