Welcome to ernestohayers, UID 246081, who registered sometime around 5:00 CDT, the most recent of 196 kogs in the preceding 20 or so hours.
This is part of a series of fill-in* diaries to provide DailyKos impact meta while jotter is on vacation.
(*fill-in: like a 25-watt light bulb "fills in" for the sun)
Submitted for your approval: the top diaries from yesterday...sorted in what may appear to be a random order but actually took a really long time to rearrange to make my favorites look more popular show the correct search results.
Incoming Impacts --- Duck!
Recommendations and comments were collected Wed Jun 9 05:00:00 CDT; diaries posted less than 24 hours before that remained open for recommendation at that time.
The many other valuable details normally featured in jotter's diaries can be remembered fondly here and seen again in a few weeks (we fervently hope).
For a more complete description of the lists and statistics see this diary.
The unit of diary impact is based on activity in Bill In Portland Maine's long running series, Cheers and Jeers. The unit associated is the bharns. One bharns is equivalent to the impact of the average C&J in Q1 2005. BiPM's email address at that time bharns@something.
After much fumbling around in the bit bucket (watch out for the 1's...they are really pointy!) here is the table. Diaries with impact of at least 0.20 listed below, ordered by recs. The universe of diaries was 198. Your guess as to which made the rec-list.
OK...I know. I have a big huge white space here and I apologize for it but I really don't know how to get rid of it. If someone knows, let me know in the comments and I will fix it.
Consider this a place to rest and catch your breath...then scroll down.
And a little music while you wait. ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪
