Place those bets, was it BGP? My money is always on BGP somehow.

BGP problems will usually manifest as something being unreachable. This seems to be 500 errors which suggest code breaking somewhere.

I was getting mostly 502's indicating their reverse proxies couldn't reach the back end so it's very possible an internal routing issue was at fault.

This is what happens when you raid Mar-a-Lago.

You joke but there are definitely going to be people making this connection for real.

Wonder if it had anything to do with char broiling a few of their electricians this morning.

Say what??

Maybe something to do with the new Gmail redesign that seems to have rolled out today? Or at least I just got it today, despite the fact that it was ostensibly released a month ago.

I'm in Asia right now and it's been bad since last night (~07:00 California time). Gmail too.

Down in Sydney. Intermittent errors when searching. How am I supposed to work? Also, I don't remember when Google Search was last down. Either google has great uptime, or I have terrible memory.

Try Duckduckgo? Indeed, I don't remember when Google search was down last time either.
