However, I also know what a grind it is to confront nothing but more stories about the big thing that happened this week. So I'm changing the format of this post from the usual. We're going to start with a couple of music videos, followed by Science links and so forth that have nothing to do with the election or its fallout. Then I'll have a warning that the rest of the links are on the other topic, so you can stop scrolling down and go read some other part of the web instead if you want.
Videos!
