Need a break from the news and the stress and a little reward for making it this far and casting your ballot without screaming at your relatives on Facebook one last time? Well, the SF Zoo is provided a live stream video of their red panda exhibit this morning, and you can watch the pair of adorable dog-bears, Hunter and Tenzing, playing, napping, and lolling about their enclosure in the video above.
(As NBC Bay Area notes, despite their name, these red pandas are actually more closely related to raccoons than giant pandas. But they're kinda cuter than both!)
The live stream, which went from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., was sponsored in part by Mozilla, because, you see, one nickname for red pandas is firefoxes, and you might recognize one from the Firefox logo. Or is that just a fox? Anyway, the video is available on the Firefox Facebook page.
Don't let this distract you from actually going to your polling place, however... which if you didn't do it before work and can't do it at lunch, you'd better be going as soon as you leave work and you know employers have to give you two paid hours off to vote, right?
Also, starting at noon The Weather Channel is going to be airing nine hours of babbling brooks paired with smooth jazz. Yes, it's nature footage from the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone National Park, and elsewhere, and as the channel's president, David Clark, says in a release, "It’s definitely counterprogramming. We asked ourselves, ‘How are we feeling about this election? How are our friends and relatives feeling?' So we went out and found nine hours of the most calming video: literally, babbling brooks.”
Also, the National Park Service has a live underwater webcam of the Channel Islands that is also quite soothing.
That's on Facebook too, via The Verge.
