What a panorama-style view of the Milky Way looks like
From the ground on Earth, stars seem to be pretty evenly spread throughout space. There are clusters, sure, but stars show up here and there everywhere. That’s only because we are looking at a very small portion of the space around us, as this new video from NASA’s Spitzer telescope shows.
Wes Anderson is obsessed with symmetry in his films
Wes Anderson’s films are, arguably, the most easily identified films of any working director. The somewhat timeless but vaguely 1970s-y dress and colour scheme, the omnipresent sans serif font, the deadpan line delivery, the killer 1960s-1980s soundtracks: all classic Anderson. Love it or hate it, chances are you do feel strongly about his work, in large part because of the very eccentricities that make it so distinctive.
Stay in school or you’ll explode
An interesting new “PSA” making its way around the internet touts the importance of staying in school and uses some fucked-up images to make its point.
This adorable squirrel will restore your will to live

Kevin O'Leary embarrasses himself on CNBC
Jesse Myerson is a young left-wing journalist who recently wrote an article for Rolling Stone that advocates some solutions to America’s ongoing economic malaise.

Zach Galifianakis does what we all want to do, beats Justin Bieber
In the latest instalment of his hilarious and uncomfortable web series “Between Two Ferns,” Zach Galifianakis took Canada’s national treasure/embarrassment Justin Bieber to task for being an idiot. Among other things, he questioned Bieber’s statement that Anne Frank would have been a Belieber, his proclivity for peeing in buckets, and his penchant for driving too fast.
Swap beer for water in your taps, never be sober again
At the risk of being taken in by the Machiavellian Jimmy Kimmel, this is too good to ignore.
Eerie timelapse video shows ‘person’ aging
Watching this video from start to finish is an exercise in patience and then, once realization sets in, an exercise in not getting too weirded out by an internet video to shut it off and forget all about it.
Zayn Malik, heartbreaker, breaks every straight woman’s heart at once
A 25-year-old woman processes her grief via GIF
It’s been a rough several weeks for straight women who have any goddamn eyes in their faces. First Seth Meyers got engaged, and now Zayn Malik of One Direction is off the market for realsies.
Guy takes down the friend zone
Slam poetry aside (which I say only because I do not like slam poetry), this video is pretty great. Dylan Garity explains his evolution from a nerdy, clammy-handed adolescent into an aware, rape-disliking grown man unafraid to acknowledge his own problematic former attitudes.
Even more evidence of how disgusting our food is
It’s a fact that we all seem to agree on, even if most of us don’t do anything about it: the industrialized food production process is terrible.

Video of an off-duty Israeli soldier (Electronic Intifada identifies him as “Michael Gershkowitz of the Israeli army’s Kfir brigade”) stopping his car to harass several Palestinian workers and severely beat one.
Disappointingly lame One Direction video has most YouTube views in single day
This is One Direction’s latest effort. The video tries to pretend at having a story to it, but quickly devolves into meaningless chaos as the boys run amok in a record label office tossing over desks and doing the choreographed dance moves they promised they would never do.
