Links, links, they cure what stinks. They celebrate, all that's great!

So yesterday was the day when everyone went all crazy on social media and said terrible things and yelled at each other.  In an attempt to help, I am posting this picture of the stars of "Breaking Bad" posing with adorable puppies.  Please chill out America, okay?  Also, how about quitting with the racism, huh?  More adorable puppies and colourful sweaters, less being a hateful dick.

Okay, I realize it's not that simple.  How about if someone took the magic of the internet and social media to make us laugh (and cringe a little) about how weird and awful so much of the reaction to an Obama victory has been?  Oh, someone did that almost instantly?  I love you internet (Tumblr) 

Barack Obama: President of the United States and man with the most re-tweeted tweet of all time.  Wonder which one he’s more proud of?  I bet it’s beating Bieber at his own game (National Post)

No matter who you voted for, I respect and admire that you voted at all. Respect is largely what we are missing as a country, as clearly reflected in the horribly racist, ignorant, and hateful things I have seen after President Barack Obama was elected to his second term. It's shameful, it's ignorant, and it only keeps us from being able to move forward as a country and better ourselves. 

We need to look out for ourselves, yes. But looking out for ourselves also means looking out for each other. Passing school levies to ensure the kids in the neighborhood grow into thoughtful, well-rounded, and intelligent adults. Acknowledging that maybe you didn't vote for this person or that person, but perhaps their being in office helped one of your neighbors or family members. Being graceful about defeat and figuring out how to find the silver lining. That's all I have to say about that.

This is the only thing I'll say about today being Election Day in the USA. VOTE. Or else! (Pleated Jeans)

Good morning!  Today's first link provided us with that funny sign to the left.  Here are 17 more smart-ass signs for your viewing pleasure.  (Pleated Jeans)

Dude.  Disney is planning a sequel to "Boy Meets World"!  I loved that show.  I hope this means we'll get to see whatever became of Eric.  (The Gloss)

Ellen DeGeneres called out undecided voters on a recent episode of her show.  Look, I understand being indecisive sometimes - I tend to waffle when it comes to choosing, say, what to have for dinner - but how on Earth can people STILL not know who they're voting for?!?  (Crushable)

Even if you're sick of election coverage (and who isn't?), you'll agree that this is great news.  (AV Club)

Halloween is almost here.  Are you preparing by watching your favorite horror movies?  I love classics like "The Thing," but if you're looking for something a little more recent, here's a list of the 10 best horror flicks from the last two years.  Can't argue with #1! (Forbes)

Speaking of horror movies, here are the celebs you didn't want to see die in their respective films.  Spoilers abound, obviously.  (Crushable)

If you're really looking for a good scare, though, forget the movies.  Head to your library or bookstore and look for one of these spooky novels!  I definitely recommend any of H.P. Lovecraft's work if you want something to give you some lingering heebie-jeebies.  (io9)

As far as real life horror goes, the whole eastern seaboard is preparing for Hurricane Sandy to hit this week.  Please, if you're in the storm's predicted path, take precautions and stay safe!  (Boing Boing)
