Ramsey: "I been here a year. You see where I'm coming from? I eat barbecue with this dude. We eat ribs and whatnot, and listen to salsa music, you see where I'm coming from?"
Reporter: "And you had no indication that there was anything..."
Ramsey: "Bro, not a clue that that girl was in that house, or anybody was in there against their will, because how he is, is he just comes out to his backyard, he plays with the dogs, tinkers with his cars and motorcycles, goes back in the house. So he's somebody that you look and you look away because he's not doin' nothin' but the average stuff, you see what I'm saying? Ain't nothin' exciting about him. Well, until today. Ha ha ha."
Reporter: "What was the reaction on the girls' faces? I can't imagine, to see the sunlight, to be..."
Ramsey: "Well, I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wroooong here. Dead giveaway. Dead giveaway. Deeeaaad giveaway. Either she homeless, or she got problems, that's the only why she's runnin' to a black man."

This beautiful new timelapse video might have folks heading in droves for northern Michigan. Shawn Malone of Lake Superior Photo put together this incredible video — her first attempt at a timelapse compilation, believe it or not — using over 10,000 photo frames showing 33 different scenes of various night sky events from northern Michigan over the past year. “It took a year to shoot and a bit of tenacity and persistence to get this into a form of coherent electrified cosmic goodness,” Malone wrote on Vimeo. And did she ever capture cosmic goodness: auroras, the Milky Way rising and setting, meteor showers, a comet, and even aurora and lightning together in one scene. Just gorgeous….

I don't normally frequent Infowars (a bit too shouty for my liking), but this video came highly recommended and I found it honest and touching (and oh-so true)

I like to live a spoiler-free existence, preferring to have no or at least minimal preconceptions when walking into a movie theater or sitting down to watch Doctor Who. I have remained amazingly and happily in-the-dark about the new Star Trek movie, for example, despite the existence of, y’know, the Internet.
That looks amazing. I don’t generally judge a movie just on special effects, but I like the way this was shot, and it looks like there’s a lot of attention to detail. And best yet, the trailer gives you enough information to be intriguing, to draw you in, but not enough to ruin anything.
Plus, I do have something of a crush on George Clooney, so there’s little doubt I’ll watch this when it comes out in October.
Coincidentally, this trailer was released around the same time NASA was planning an astronaut spacewalk to fix a coolant leak on the space station. Cue the conspiracy theorists in 3 … 2 … 1 …
