Far be it for me to tell you how to vote -- I'm just a gal with a pug avatar! But Twitter's resident fairy godmother, Cher, would really like you to NOT vote with your <3. The diva's semi-crazed caucus-day tweets are frankly the only ones worth reading. We can only cross our fingers and hope she'll maintain the "unmoored candor" all evening... !

1. Duolingo, but for addiction treatment. That's the basic principle on which CBT4CBT works: It's an online recovery program that uses basic tasks to to improve addicts' response to triggers. A decade in, the technique seems to work -- maybe as well as face-to-face therapy. And that's huge in rural areas with low accessibility.

2. What makes a good Internet ad? (Er -- is there even such a thing?) The most effective ones are fast, fun and super-fragmented. Not like that's stopping anyone from ad-blocking.
