Procrastinaut: James Franco gets punched in the face, a flame-throwing guitar and cops taking selfies
Bradley Manning was acquitted of aiding the enemy, Edward Snowden has been granted asylum by Russia, and should it come to pass that they share a Netflix account, they can now maintain separate profiles. That’s the news, now onto the important stuff: Highlights from the Procrastinaut Tumblr — where @gilbertjasono and I serve up non-stop distraction throughout the week (follow the Tumblr here) — plus a few extra bonus attractions.
Speed It Up: If you just can’t get enough of time-lapse videos, then by all means rush on over to Primelapse, which collects all manner of them – from gorgeous Greek landscape views to celestial imagery from the International Space Station to some random person assembling a trampoline.

Take It Slow: Meanwhile, although I doubt I’d make it through a roast of James Franco, I do appreciate seeing him punched in the face in this beautiful slow-motion ad.
Hot Licks: What would you call a flamethrowing guitar? You’d call it a FLAMEnco, just like this hacker did.
FYI: How to depict a walking glass cow? Brief process video explains.
You a cop?: You take selfies? The Cop Selfies Tumblr is for you. Also of interest to anyone who just likes looking at selfies of cops. Some of the images are … arresting. Ah hahahahahahaha.
