Rep. Rush Kicked Off Floor for Wearing Hoodie in Support of Trayvon Martin
“Just because you wear a hoodie, doesn’t make you a hoodlum,” Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill, said. “I don’t mind being out of order if it means standing up for freedom and justice and human dignity. This is just another part of the struggle.”

The gorgeous creatures that populate Keaton’s new music video for “Small Hands” can’t possibly be puppets, can they? They’re too graceful, too emotional to be made of fabric and felt!
We truly need songs like this in 2012. I love Potato Salad! @emilymphocyte

Come for the song about potato salad, stay for the insane acrobatics.
Epic Time-Lapse Escape: The Stars From Orbit
We’ve seen plenty of GIFs and time-lapses of stars and #starporn, but none precisely like this. It seems like Earth is often the star, instead of the stars themselves.
Nice to see that change. Full screen, HD, enjoy 🙂
Beautiful, beautiful video for a Sunday morning.

Millions upon millions of people now have access to really good video editing tools, but that doesn’t make them an editor. Earning a paycheck doesn’t make you an editor either. I’ve met “professionals” who have full time jobs that can’t cut their way out of a paper bag. And then I meet kids in school or college that just blow me away with their sense of timing.
….
Long term, the craft of editing is probably stronger than ever. Now that the tools are in the hands of the many, we’ll discover some new folks who just blow us away with their storytelling skills. But short term, many long time professionals could get hurt when editing decisions are based on price alone and not the skill of the artist. Like anything else, with storytelling you generally get what you pay for.
