They're back in the building now, diagnosing things.

Other services are misbehaving across the web, here and there.

Mainstream news is writing as if the outage will be multiple days, but
describing a scenario that usually resolves in a day or two in my
damaged-intuition:

Facebook employees couldn't access building, communications platform
amid outages
As widespread outages plagued Facebook and some of its apps Monday,
the company's employees couldn't access their internal communications
platform or even enter buildings.

Sheera Frenkel, a technology reporter for the New York Times, tweeted
Monday afternoon that she had spoken with a Facebook employee on the
phone. The worker told her that the employee badges that allow them to
enter the company's buildings weren't working, preventing them from
even being able to examine the extent of the disruption. It was not
clear if the issue has since been fixed.

Facebook's internal communications platform, Workplace, was also down
Monday, the Times reported. As most of the company's workers were left
unable to do their jobs, two described Monday as a "snow day."
