    Looks like Gizmodo might be down now. Also Twitter?

    Twitter.com seems to be working, but my iPhone app and Tweetdeck haven't been working for hours.

    Those cyberterrorists haven't touched SJ.com, though.

    Looks like all the Advance sites are down, which does not give me warm feelings about the upcoming football Friday shift.

    If the Russians touch any of those clickbait Facebook pages that use pictures of Reagan for the profile pic, it's WAR!

    SI.com had some downtime, too, as did 538 (at least when I went to get my fix)

    Twitter still down. The biggest problem being the golf thread makes less sense than usual.

    Tweetdeck is working for me. Maybe the outage is in a different part of the country.

    Also worth noting: Either Trump's three favorite tweetbots (Pepe, Neil and Bergkamp) have abandoned him, or their Twitter is out.
