I thought I'd take this opportunity to share a story about how stupid I am.

I was looking at FiveThirtyEight's shaded electoral map, where the deeper colors are stronger.  I was thinking to myself, "damn, look how polarized things have become lately."  I was just about to start an article on this and its ramifications in respect to a close popular vote race.  I had some fancy graphics rigged up, an intro written, and everything.

Then I noticed that my laptop's LCD monitor was tipped back, which makes everything darker and more saturated.

lol me.
