What's the biggie? She's not even trying to be "hot" in the selfies...she's just taking a bunch of pictures of herself with various weird expressions. It's funny, and I'm sure the young woman herself would laugh at it.

A picture of your hot husband would be appreciated.

Jeez, I would've just holed up in there until the exterminator got rid of them. Have to go to work? Nope!

I felt sorry for Gwen because she was a victim of a bad stylist, but then I realized she was her own stylist! She looks like Jean Kasem.

No—I think she's wearing the largest size (newborn to three months).

When you're ear is really itchy and you stick your pinky finger in really far and move it back and forth. That's what it feels like...only bigger.

I know. She's a baby.

Heidi Klum's knuckles are fucking HUGE!

I love Cheerios dad...and now you've made me ashamed.

I'm kinda done here anyway. I'm sick of the contempt Gawker and Jez have for their readers. The above is an example.

I guess you see it one way, and I see it another.

But some faculty do use Twitter as a teaching tool.

What? They don't want their faculty using social media? What about academic freedom? Faculty might be using Twitter, FB, WordPress, etc. to teach. They might be doing research on social media.

Well...no: you did say that Gil's comment was a continuation of the rape apologist narrative (because what else could the "narrative that sexual assault victims are somehow to blame for being sexually assaulted" possibly mean but that?).

That was my first thought as well, and then I remembered that I came of age in the 1970s, and these types of sexual assaults (which were so frequent I've lost track) were not taken seriously—your friends would laugh and anyone in a position of authority would accuse you of bringing it on yourself.

In fairness to SDZ, you did say about Malik Gil's comment: "This is just a continuation of the bullshit narrative that sexual assault victims are somehow to blame for being sexually assaulted."

Hmmmm....interesting. Before she started swimming, her nakedness was incredibly uncomfortable to watch because it made her vulnerability so profound. When she was swimming, her nakedness accentuated the beauty of it all.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering about that as well.
