Why This British Crossroads Is So Dangerous
In general I'm opposed to using traffic cams to ticket people who don't stop at lights or intersections, but I think I'd allow it in this instance.
The Earth Pyramids of South Tyrol
Interesting formations, I've never seen them before. But what's with the creepy music? Sounds like something you'd hear on a tour bus ride through Hell.
Who pays the lowest taxes in the US?
Simply boiling it down to absolute dollars doesn't really tell the whole story, that was the point of the video. And allowing people to pick and choose what their tax dollars go to pay for sounds like it would be an administrative nightmare. Not to mention how that would effect everyone else, rich people only paying for the upkeep of the roads they use, while poorer neighborhoods suffer because of the lower tax base that they have, kinda like schools.
While I'm all for progressive taxes, it would be nice if this presentation had just 1 graph that was absolute dollars paid in taxes, not always having the Y-axis a "% of total income" ... then we'd see that those rich people are paying hundreds to thousands of times more than the poor folks.
It would also be nice if individuals could choose what projects/departments/agencies their tax money (above some per-person baseline) went to, rather than budgets being proposed by executive branch and approved by congress. But if you hate political ads now, such a system would flood all channels of advertisement with "choose XYZ before April 15th!"

Warehouses: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
Ever since I read that article in Mother Jones about working conditions in Amazon warehouses I feel kinda bad ordering stuff.
Although I do tend to order things that I can't find locally or is much cheaper online. But fucking Oreos? seriously? I still go to the store for things all the time, really it won't kill you (usually).

Dr. Seuss for serial killers, we weren't religious.
Wait....are you saying it's not? What did YOUR parents teach you to read with?
We ❤️ The Periodic Table
Stop that, even the idea that Trump is the basic building block of all things in the universe is an existential horror that makes Lovecraft look like a Dick & Jane book.
Never trust an atom,
they make up everything.
