It's getting earlier and earlier. Yesterday it didn't start until around 5 PM Eastern.

Yeah, I see the thumbnail error you're talking about now. Example here:

I can't get pages to load unless I'm logged in at present, it just gives me a blank page on my cellphone. Tried Internet Explorer on the PC, same deal, but it loads just fine in Firefox.

No blackout tonight. I suppose that's good news.
