Very cool to see AOTS covering this.

I have family residing in Egypt and haven't been able to communicate w/ them since Thursday when the internet was shut down. Hope they're okay.

Very good overview of the situation. And very cool of Kevin and staff to produce this piece on a Friday, when AOTS is usually on break.
