As we crest the fabled Hump Day of what we’re pretty sure is Week 9,482 of the ongoing coronavirus epidemic, it’s natural for some of our normal distraction mechanisms to begin wearing down. (After all, there’s only so much time you can spend trying to teach your dog how to play chess before he inevitably beats you, which can really take the shine off the whole endeavor.) Luckily, at least some of our various streaming and entertainment institutions are stepping up to help fill in the gaps. Like music service TIDAL—typically among the priciest of the audio streaming companies—which is now offering up to four months worth of subscriptions for only a buck a pop.
