Sometimes I think about how ABSOLUTELY BONKERS Twitter would have been the night of the Gore v. Bush election. Youngs, imagine my surprise when I went to bed at 3am with no president and woke up with still no president - J

Honestly, if you just think to yourself, "because Adlai" you;ll just do fine. Get into the causus line, stand with the caucus clump, get the caucus cookies, and go home. Democracy goes with you, as it should.

The bake sale does not strictly speaking come next, but that's what everybody remembers, and that's why most people come. There _still_ aren't any rice-krispie treats, because Adlai Stevenson.

Then comes the enumeration of counties. You don't have to get them all right, but there is a tally. The candidate that comes last is not eliminated per se.

The next part of the caucus, I think, is where you have to bare your left arm and describe your first sexual encounter. Maybe it was once some kind of prejudiced thing, somehow? Nobody can remember.

Okay, so in a caucus, I think everybody has to show up, right? and then there's a rap battle where you have to imply what candidate you like, but you can't come out and say who

Would you enjoy or not enjoy the process of making up what a caucus is?

twitter is *so bad* for doing anything approaching what we want out of a "news source" but what's really remarkable is that cable news is somehow *worse*

“Anonymised” wink-wink data is a multi-billion dollar industry precisely because the data is not anonymous.

This picture, while adorable, just really drives home how the Iowa caucuses can be prohibitive for families with young children who aren't able to easily find childcare. twitter.com/carolynryan/st…

You don't know what "parenting" is until you have a stuffed animal tell your kid "I am gorgo and mormo!" and then have an argument about it

If you're determined to learn about a complicated electoral procedure, why not learn about one that can't affect you?
Here's a paper from Mowbray and Gollmann of HP labs about how the 10-round quasi-random procedure to pick the Venetian Doge: so cool! hpl.hp.com/techreports/20…

Some did but a lot of them didn't. For a lot of us, it was there in theory, but failed in lots of various fiddly little ways in practice.

i'm not really in a position to observe how reproductive the local sheep are feeling. But that's my problem I assume. I know a local alpaca breeder; is that at all similar?
