Presidential chances

Ignore any and all polls! Kamala Harris seems poised to win the next election, says NY Mag. Her surge in fundraising and booming economy are key factors. The only factor that really matters is how the sitting administration did, and that’s pretty good, doomsayers be damned.

Vanity Fair is also confident: Harris will likely win the presidency, buoyed by voter enthusiasm and support from big names. She leads in enthusiasm and among women.

But The Telegraph isn't convinced: Trump's poised for a landslide victory, they claim. All you need to do is look at liberals' panic and how insane people are for Trump.

FiveThirtyEight: Who knows! The election’s razor-thin with no clear favorite. Check out their aggregate polling and simulation here.

Workouts and hangovers

Hangovers can be debilitating, but The Conversation says consistent exercise might ease the pain -- it can modulate the body's pain response, making hangovers less severe.

NZ Herald agrees -- Regular workouts might also help the body process alcohol more efficiently. It can also lead to better sleep, mitigating some negative effects of hangovers.

Live Inner Most: But don't even think about working out while actively hungover -- there's an increased risk for injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. Just stay home and rest up!

Pure Gym: Naw, you can do it -- it won't speed up your hangover, but it can boost your endorphin levels. That's a surefire way to feel better!
