A bunch of websites are unaccessible right now, including Reddit, Twitch, Amazon UK, and Paypal. All of these sites are showing some kind of connection failure.
Basically, half of the internet is down. But thankfully, our site is up (jinx)

Down Detector, a website that tracks outages tells me that Twitter, CNN, NYT, Twitter, Hulu, and Target websites are also down.
The product manager at the Financial Times noted that, Fastly, a CDN provider, is having a massive outage. We’ll keep an eye on for more details.
