Friday Night Links

So, my alma mater is running a series of lectures related to COVID-19, and I am listening/watching on Yourube.  Mostly, they are pretty informative, but the yoga one... well, one, I can't believe that they have a staffer teaching this, and two...I haven't heard anything that would remotely be described as... stress-relieving, if you get my drift.
