Twitter says it's working on tonight's meltdown [update: resolved]
If Twitter suddenly logged you out of your mobile apps and won't let you back in — or a device or a desktop, actually — you're not alone. In fact, you're in damned good company. We're locked out, too. Twitter's official status page says they're aware of the problem and are working on it.
One possible culprit, as noted in our comments, is that apparently Twitter leaped ahead to Dec 29, 2015. While we have no doubt that day will be awesome, it's still a year away and unsurprisingly would cause issues should servers think we're there already.
Update: Here's a possible culprit:
