As long as we have loved, we're victorious
I went to bed early last night, for which I want praise. I decided that just adding to my sleep deficit would help neither me nor the nation. Today I have been cautiously checking out the election news: it looks not dreadful, which I suppose is why the man still currently in the White House is planning to SLAPP suit the voting population of the United States. As I said this afternoon on a friend's journal, I wasn't expecting a blue wave, I was expecting so much red voter suppression that we wouldn't even get a look in at a close race and I was seriously worried about right-wing stochastic terrorism on the night, so I actually feel better than I did when I woke up on Election Day. We still need not to have an electoral college. Have some links.

The team reviewed 429 accounts of burials from 107 sites in North and South America dating back to the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. In total, they found 27 unambiguous examples of people buried with their hunting gear, of which 16 were male and 11 were female."
3. I had forgotten this essay by Lloyd Alexander: "The Flat-Heeled Muse."
spatch just told me a bright blue meteor was sighted over Gloucester earlier this evening. I bet it was from early exposure to Arthuriana that I learned to think of comets as dragon-stars.

Good sense always warrants praise! I was too stressed to watch the coverage, but also too stressed to sleep, so drifted off while reading LMB's Penric novellas about 6AM our time.
One of the friends I was at the pub with was complaining that she wanted to geek out on the election coverage (before she retired she worked for the bit of our government responsible for electoral registration), but having a friend visiting meant she couldn't.
I am seriously amazed there weren't any major firefights with militia groups outside polling stations. "right-wing stochastic terrorism" is an excellent term (even if I'm appalled it's needed).
