I love her so much. She looks like a she lives in a magic forest and spends her evenings playfully and elusively helping wayward travelers find their way.

They have to save the references to older women for the gymnasts that are turning 20 next year.

Yes, also why lifeguards grab people from behind and under arms if they have to physically engage them. I think the grabiness is an involuntary lizard brain thing.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I think it does a disservice to the sport and to Biles herself when the press makes it seem like she utterly dominates over a weak field. I mean, the press always does this with gymnasts who cross over into pop culture; pretend they invented the sport, at the expense of all the…

Yeah same thing when I was a lifeguard. You slide the buoy accross the water to them and don't swim up.

Long ago, when I had training on how to rescue drowning people, we were basically told to assume the people we were trying to rescue would try to drown us because they were panicking too badly to think straight. People frequently panic when they are in life-threatening situations (or sometimes freeze up entirely), so…

O/T but the juxtaposition of the demeanor between the silver and bronze winners is funny. Silver is like “Damn, if I had just ____ I would have won” and Bronze is like “Yay medal!” Second place is really the worst.

I can’t wait for the balance beam, where Simone’s difficulty level is so high she can damn near fall off that fucker and still win. Not quite fall off, I mean STAY ON, SIMONE, but you know.

Please remember that things are getting worse for more people. People who were high and dry yesterday are having FEET of water inside their homes today. Getting out is tough because so many streets are overtaken by deep water. We did not expect this type of flooding, so many of us were caught off guard. It is a…

Rescued the woman? Check. Got the dog? Check. Looked super hot while doing so? Check check check. I mean, goddamn, look at those cheekbones. Someone give this kid a tv show.

Have we found out if Dave is single yet? 😻

I don’t presume to know how this poor woman wound up in that terrifying situation. Floods, especially flash floods, are no joke. Water will kick your ass. So please, please, please, avoid flooded roads if you come across one. Turn the eff around and just find another way. It's not worth the risk.

It’s a window breaker emergency tool with a seatbelt cutter. They have loads of options on Amazon and I’d guess that car stores or Wal-Mart type places would stock them as well. They have smaller versions that fit in the door pocket or console.

Kudos to the rescuers for saving that lady. And her little dog.

They were in a rush, somebody had to break the news that one of the great American Olympic male swimmers is a female Canadian.

There’s no way they wouldn’t have referred to her ethnicity in the article, given the unprecedented context of her victory. It’s how they did it in the title that was dumb as hell.

Misogynoir.

As others have noted, this headline was almost certainly constructed this way to improve its SEO scoring. People searching on “Michael Phelps” would see this in their search results, which would drive more readers. Fewer people would be searching on “Simone Manuel” (remember, NBC didn’t even show her medal…

Thank you, it has been a burr in my britches that most US Media have missed on what an amazing story the Simone/Penny 100 meters win was. First swimming gold for a black woman (and youngest Canadian to ever win Olympic gold). And did the picture of them embracing not bring a lump to your throat. I’m getting a good…

He’s killing it, I get it, but he’s not the only story at the Olympics.
