Well, elections are over, and that was pretty depressing. Let's move on to chronicling violent celebrations.

This week in Great Britain, there will be fireworks! And also barrels of flaming tar carried by burly men!

Here in America, we're using up our Halloween pumpkins by throwing them great distances.

In India, meanwhile, Diwali begins this weekend.

If you're still agitated about the state of the world, these maps of stereotypes might be depressing, but they're also rather hilarious. (I like focusing on Iceland and Ireland, particularly.)
