You can say that again!
Prospective visitors to The New York Times’ website, already accustomed to major disappointment, are coming up empty today:
The mobile apps are down as well.
This is reportedly due to a cyberattack:
The @nytimes website is down due to a cyberattack, according to @MattMEgan5, senior reporter at @FoxBusiness.

I point at my eyes, then at you, then at my eyes, then at you… just trying to fill the day until The New York Times site comes back up

Not so fast. If there’s one thing we’ve learned by now, it’s that The New York Times is always on it:
New York Times tells me: "The site does appear ato be down; we're looking into it." $NYT @nytimes

The Times is down, and the Times is on it. $NYT

Too bad the Times is inept.
The New York Times website is down and the Times is ON IT?

Somewhere in the New York Times office: "Do websites crash often? Why and to whom? Get the trend team on it."

In the meantime, can this tragic day be redeemed? Only by mockery:

Maybe the NYT tried to read 11 of its own articles without subscribing.

The New York Times Website decides it's officially done with this shit.

Broken browser windows. RT @hale_razor NYT site down, which will surely result in a boom for the economy. #PaulKrugmanLogic
