This seems like one of the recent commit has borked it!  
I’m also stuck on a 500 while trying to access /admin

This is definitely a bug:

For me, it has broke between after upgrading from 806f0ca to bb959e8

Only dashboard is non functional (new or old same story) rest all links work just fine.

Yes I have noticed it this morning. I will push a fix shortly. I don’t think it’s due to any recent change in the Dashboard though. It’s most probably caused by a very recent commit which is probably doing nothing wrong, but changed a little bit the behaviour in this case:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/cb824a6b338b32216baef9021fe508a290e99bbe](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/cb824a6b338b32216baef9021fe508a290e99bbe)

@sam Before the patch the `r` variable [discourse/app/models/report.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/report.rb#L290) was:  
`{"hours"=>5.8700340581401, "date"=>"2018-05-21"}`

After patch:  
`{"hours"=>5.8700340581401, "date"=>Mon, 21 May 2018}`

I fixed it with [FIX: crashes with date conversion in reports · discourse/discourse@fa43969 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/fa43969fe246ed4a3f246b6bb01cb44053f84765) as we don’t need `Date` parsing anymore since it’s already a `Date`.
