It's Pronounced "Nothing MAAAAAAAAHHHHtters."

Good morning everyone, I’m traveling to Calgary for Canadian Thanksgiving today, so here’s a couple o’ things to read!

  • In seeing the latest video from the Clinton campaign, I now understand that at Tuesday’s debate, Senator Tim Kaine was doin’ it for the Vines (and YouTubes.)

  • When I traveled to Reno to register voters, we had a staffer from Nevada Democrats spend a couple of minutes on why we MUST pronounce the name of the state properly (from Wikipedia: Native Nevadans pronounce the second syllable of their state name using the /æ/ vowel of "bad”.” Yesterday in Reno, Trump explained to the crowd at his rally how it actually is NevAAAAAAAHda. And of course, fightin’ Harry Reid had something to say about that: "If Donald Trump wants to come down from the penthouse his daddy bought him to lecture us on how to say Nevada, he could at least pronounce it correctly,” On side note, GOD I LOVE A GOOD STATEMENT.

  • Over in Techlandia, no one wants to buy Twitter, so their stock is down 15%.

  • Headline that made me go cross-eyed: Justin Bieber-Backed Shots Prioritizes Making Video For Other Platforms.

  • And Sean Hannity is feuding with Megan Kelly, which led to the weirdest rounded up from Brian Stelter.

Toodles, darlings!
