“There really was no worse way to experience this election than by being on social media. Which is of course where we all are.”

Leave it to Deadspin founder and Medium blogger Will Leitch to give us this story about how the real loser in this election is those of us who are living it out on Twitter and desperately scrolling for some immediate truth for the past 48 hours or more.
Who among us hasn’t spent hours with the FiveThirtyEight Scenario Generator and randomly thanking strangers on the internet when they give us some crumb of news that gives us hope? I too did this even though I promised you that I wouldn’t.
Read Will’s story and follow his blog because it’s a lot more thoughtful than doomscrolling Twitter.
