I had four work days this week that went 10 or more hours. One of them was Thursday, when I usually assemble the Friday Five. And I was just tired of looking at a screen. Tired of typing. Tired of thinking. So I streamed a couple of shows on the TV then went to sleep.

Anyway, enjoy this week’s substitution for Friday Five in which I bring you: the top SIX stories of the week.
