The 2016 election has been a never-ending source of stress and chaos in the midst of an entirely bizarre year. Today is going to be no better, with the entire mediasphere hitting a fever pitch of anxiety that we've been waiting all year to crescendo. So as we all go out and vote, Motherboard is here for you. Instead of adding more election coverage to the thousands upon thousands of stories to be published shortly, we're dedicating the site to Comfort Content: Stories and memes and blogs that make us all feel cozy inside. Think of it as a bastion of chill standing strong in the face of the hell vortex consuming the rest of the internet today.
