Twitter has broken after seemingly being hit by an unusual bug.

It doesn't seem to be broken. This article gave no screenshots, only a million ads, so I searched up reddit. Yeah, there's some minor visual glitches. The dates have been epoch'd for some people.

It's indicative of Twitter's services slowly breaking down as the engineers left either don't know how to manage everything or simply don't have time to, but what else is new?

This article is pretty sensational for what is the continuing sad decline of an app which was probably a detriment to humanity overall, but which spawned some funny jokes and was occasionally a means of mass communication in times of crisis.

means of mass communication in times of crisis.
So many emergency and customer service accounts there. I didn't need them so far but they surely would come in handy once I'd actually need them :(

Also a good way to follow japanese based accounts since many either block non-domestic traffic/sales on their websites or are otherwise hard to get hold on as a foreigner for news/services.
