"Red alert -- shut the servers down! Shut them all down!"

Well, that’s understandable. Their articles are almost a #TrueStory, as the minority activists say.

The first thought that crossed my mind was "they finally had to".

Then I saw the Babylon Bee link.

Still not sure it's satire.

Server Tech: “Say again? Shut down the servers? You want me to shut down the whole smash??? Shutting _down_ the _servers_?!?”

Twitter CEO: “Shut them down. All of them.”

Newt: “They mostly shut down the servers at night. Mostly.”

Except it's not satire. Twitter was experiencing technical issues for several hours yesterday.

For once I was ahead of the Bee. Yesterday I was asking a friend when Twitter would set off the scuttling charges to keep from being captured by President Trump's campaign.

Me: I say we take off and nuke the servers from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
