Judgement day is upon us

Twitter Judgement day is upon us.

Twitter is sending users confusing strings of alphanumeric characters.

This afternoon iPhones across the world were bombarded with notifications by the social media app, but instead of being notified of retweets on their fire content, or something, they received a seemingly random series of letters and numbers.

CEO of the company Jack Dorsey tweeted a screenshot of an iPhone notification centre riddled with the Black Mirror-ish messages.

He replied shortly afterward saying that the issue was fixed and the company was “working to understand why it happened,” the answer to which is likely horrifying and better not to know.

I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

Praise be to the servers, or something.
