In an increasingly interconnected world, the technical infrastructure enabling our constant connectivity can be precariously fragile. That became all too apparent yesterday when a major failure tore through telecom giant AT&T, downing wireless service for tens of thousands nationwide over nearly 11 hours. Just what transpired behind the scenes? How could a mammoth provider like AT&T have service disrupted across America? What remedies were available to those suddenly disconnected? How dependent have we truly become on access anytime, anywhere? Join us as we explore the what, why and how behind AT&T’s mass outage that offered a sobering glimpse into our reliance on telecom networks. Learn steps you can take in case future failings threaten your smartphone’s signal. And reflect on whether society carries too much on the fragile backbone of cloud computing and wireless infrastructure—when even giants like AT&T can stumble. After today, you may view that “coverage everywhere” claim in a different light.

From Prison to the Pope: Jelly Roll's Redemptive Rise to Stardom

Jelly Roll - Jason Bradley DeFord BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Jelly Roll, born Jason Bradley DeFord, has just witnessed a remarkable run of headline-making personal and professional moments that have fans and critics buzzing. The transformation is almost cinematic: in the past week alone, the Nashville-born rapper turned country star appeared at the Vatican’s St. Peter's Square performing at the Grace for the World concert alongside artists like Pharrell Williams, John Legend, Karol G, and Jennifer Hudson. More stunningly, he met Pope Leo XIV in person—a moment immortalized on his Instagram with the caption from rock bottom to holy ground referencing his journey from prison to international stages. That photo, a beaming Jelly Roll shaking hands with the pope, ricocheted across social media, with the artist citing Matthew 18:20 and fans and faith outlets marveling at the arc of redemption. Aleteia highlighted the emotional weight of his transition, noting that in April the Tennessee Board of Parole recommended a gubernatorial pardon for his past crimes, which, if granted, could soon allow him to freely carry his message of faith and recovery worldwide.

But spiritual milestones haven’t replaced Jelly Roll’s trademark candor about his struggles, especially with weight. This week, he sent the internet into a frenzy with slick new Instagram photos showing off his nearly 200-pound weight loss, achieved through a strict routine of diet, regular exercise, and sauna sessions. Jelly Roll celebrated publicly that he can now fit into a Louis Vuitton outfit—flexing a black and blue designer look that had both fans and fellow celebrities like Machine Gun Kelly and Yelawolf dropping praise in the comments. As Parade reports, he quipped Pray for my bank account, in reference to his shiny new fashion choices.

Meanwhile, the personal life chatter continued, with wife Bunnie XO shutting down backlash over a social media video showing her with wine, explaining on her Dumb Blonde podcast that her addiction issues were about drugs, not alcohol, and reassuring fans she’s secure in her sobriety journey. On the business front, Jelly Roll’s global ascent is real: after Vatican City, he performed with Post Malone by satellite at the 2025 MTV VMAs and has a run of concerts in London with Malone, followed by an Australian tour and then a sweep through Mexico. With every share, stage, and personal revelation, Jelly Roll is cementing one of the most compelling and redemptive arcs in recent music history.
