Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So in Ohio the polls close at 7:30 Eastern time.

Harry Enten sez:

don't expect the state to be called by the networks for at least four hours after closing.

Oof. It's gonna be a long night, probably....

Punishingly Intricate

My wait was also about 50 minutes this morning. Line was much longer than in 2008.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think it was in Louisiana where the poll-working ladies were so adamant about educating voters that THEY DO NOT NEED TO SHOW ID. I love those ladies.

I think I'm going to wait until the afternoon to walk over and vote. Because I still haven't read all the Propositions. Sigh.

I heard an interview with someone who studied how kids learn from failure and why some kids take it well and others really really don't. What I remember is that kids who were told "you're so smart!" when they got things right were more likely to think that being wrong meant they weren't smart and everything is ruined forever. And this started when the kids were 1-3 years old, learning to walk and talk and whatnot and getting feedback from parents.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

don't expect the state to be called by the networks for at least four hours after closing.

They often aren't, particularly for POTUS.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Woohoo! I am first in line! No waiting, other than for them to open.

Oh, man, I guess I should take a nap this evening before going to watch the returns.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is it contested?

Technically, yeah, but not really.

I have to share this FB status from my little brother:

Just to put the 538 projection in terms everybody can understand, Mitt Romney now has the same chance of winning the election as getting a critical hit (x2 damage) with a longsword in dnd 3.5, assuming that Barack Obama is not undead and immune from critical hits.

I LOVE MY FAMILY SO MUCH

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Everyone's seen the snappy Joker cosplay going around, yeah? Maybe this guy doesn't have all those scenes to act out, etc, but this is one hell of a Joker: [link]
