I’m sorry, I have to ask, what kind of school (please tell me it’s a for profit like Full Sail or something like that) ask for videos of their student applicants? You realise that what happened is precisely the reason this (and asking candidates to submit photos) isn’t done, right?

It's almost like someone who once managed a chain restaurant was given a commensurately responsible position in journalism.

As a German NuRo who has a lot of antipathy toward Jezebel, I cannot begin to describe the enjoyment this irruption of KN has given me...

"Even if someone tried to poach on my husband, I know that it would never even cross his mind to consider it or take them up on it."

I'm sorry, but after four years in an BaHons, two in an MA, and eight in a PhD program, the latter at a public ivy demanding gruelling labor and competitive intelligence amid the academic candidates, I do not want to see this at my graduation. My spouse and parents, not to mention my advisors, supported my candidacy…

The one in Venice was Peggy Guggenheim's home...you know that right?

This is part of the culture in New Zealand. The show had already been scripted and filmed before this incident. Jane Campion's entire body of work is basically about this subject, and she is from NZ, so well aware of it.

An Apotheke is not a supermarket. Pharmacies are similar to what the British call chemists.

One of the all-worst. And that's really saying something on Gawker media.

Number.

I can't even tell you how much I love, treasure, and admire this comment.

She's not though. If she were really a bitch, and wanted to see a prospective competitor fail, she'd just STFU. Trust me, that's how it's done in PhD programs.

Neither. It's actually really excellent advice and probably not even meant in the way you're taking it that someone tried to subtly counsel you about your appearance as a PhD candidate. Since you said comps and not boards sounds like a social sciences/humanities field...no matter what scholarly advantages you may…

product designer at Facebook....in-demand hand letterers... LÖL. Officially the most annoying thing I have ever seen.

It just seems like a weird thing to rave about.

It doesn't sit right with me either (and I also remember Scovell and am very disappointed to see her byline both on Jezebel and on this piece). The reason why is larger than the comparison vehicle, though: It's Jezebel. This has become a troll site for women; my students constantly bring it up to me as a "feminist"…

You mean like a rampant science-rejecting horde or Tea Partying Truther Birthers, an inadequate health care and crumbling educational system, an enormous and growing gap between the wealthy and the poor, complete lack of responsible gun control that results in thousand and thousands of deaths a year, and a police…

Well, if you're an American now you know how everyone in the rest of the world feels when we hear an American accent...is the person going shoot up the Backstübe 'cause they can't be served gluten-free Semmeln? Yeah, and I imagine the Palestinians being bulldozed and droned out of their homes are totes chill when they…

It's actually not. I'm in a fellowship in an Anglophone country and being a German who has the appearance of someone from the Middle East I endure a fair amount of visual-based discrimination on a daily basis, until I open my mouth, and experience another type.

Thanks for underscoring another favorite myth of the cinematic Teutonic, that all of us six+ footers are stalking around in our Waffen SS uniforms swinging our blond hair around. Germany has the largest population of citizen immigrants in Europe, many from Turkey, Somalia, Thailand, India, Iran. As a native Bavarian I…
