One unexpected benefit of cutting the cable cord last spring is that we can’t wallow in gloomy election-night coverage. We can, however, wallow in YouTube disaster-movie montages, so here’s New York getting repeatedly blasted off the face of the Earth to accompany your apocalyptic musings.

One of my favorite Car Talk bits:

We offer neither explanation nor apology. There’s a strong chance we’ve fallen prey to an Evil Image-Rehabilitation Meme, but we don’t care. Because we can’t help watching the damn thing. Over and over.

Except the last part. You can have that back.
