What we're feeling: (Hint: It's the debate.)

Let's start with the most important question: "How tall are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump compared to you?" asks something that would be pretty difficult to get past even the most basic fact-checkers. This piece points out that the height difference between the two presidential candidates is the largest it has ever been. It does not, however, answer why Hillary wore those not-so-high heels to the debate.Speaking of fact checkers, NPR did the work for you. In their analysis of the first presidential debate, they found out that Trump lied—shocking, I know—and then pointed out exactly where and when he did so, including a misleading implication about having a fact checker on his own site. If you're looking for a play-by-play that's not quite as wordy, check out Blog's own liveblog of the debate.

Slate's infographic attempts to explain how high we have set the bar for each candidate as the debate trilogy commences:

Is it true then, that "Trump Threatens to Skip Remaining Debates if Hillary is There"? Consult The New Yorker's "Borowitz Report," a satirical column with another piece titled "CNN Launches Manhunt After Lester Holt Vanishes from Debate." Or, for actual, live debate humor, consider the zinger of the night that Hillary launched when Donald criticized her travel plans.If you're looking for something less debate-focused, check out The New York Times' feature, "Young Rural Women in India Chase Big-City Dreams," by Ellen Barry. If you're really looking to de-focus (and de-stress while you're at it) check out "Before We Begin Our Yoga Practice, a Few Words about Upcoming Workshops and that Hissing Sound" from The New Yorker. Maybe you can practice that yoga during the next debate (it might be necessary).
