Cool Shit 8/1

Beautiful trees have such a calming effect.

The Fermi Paradox is basically the idea that by now we should have discovered intelligent life in outer space. But we haven't. And scientists have some reasons why.

Fuck you, Esquire, writing something like this about Michael Bay, just so you can seem hip because you're indirectly hyping up TJ Miller, in a poorly thought out reach for a younger audience. You've now done what I thought may have been impossible - your attempt at wit has gone and made Michael Bay a somewhat sympathetic figure.
