selfie

Breaking the internet wasn't enough for her. Check out the latest in an endless procession of narcissistic moves by Kim Kardashian.

The set includes emojis like Kardashian taking a selfie, naked holding her baby bump, and designer jackets.

Kevin Lawson of Tennesee was charged with the theft of guns, smokes, and food from a market earlier this week. The key evidence indicting him? The gloves he wore during the robbery thrown away in his neighbor's yard, and this incriminating selfie found on his phone after he willingly gave it to investigators. Clearly this man is going up in the ranks of the criminal underworld very soon.

Earlier today a student armed with a knife at Franklin Regional Senior High School near Pittsburgh, PA attacked and injured at least 20 students. Several have been hospitalized with serious injuries but no deaths have been reported as of this time. Thinking quickly, student Nate Scimio pulled the fire alarm and alerted other students of the emergency. After he was taken to the hospital, this selfie happened.

Frankly, making some derisive comment about "kids these days" seems totally unwarranted when the kid involved likely saved lives. Of course, that didn't stop the press from asking for interviews and snarky comments like this:

Adele took the opportunity to take a selfie with a doppelgänger.

From our friends at Uproxx:

the Kalamazoo Growlers of the collegiate summer baseball Northwoods League will be wearing a SALUTE TO SELFIES jersey during a game in July. If you heard that description and thought, "what is that, a jersey covered in selfies," BINGO, welcome to Hell.

This right here is the selfie that got the internet into a tizzy this weekend. The young girl in question had to defend herself against all kinds of harassment (unsurprisingly) after the picture went viral. According to her, she had studied the Nazi concentration camp with her father before his passing, and this was (by her logic) her way of honoring that time together. The whole incident calls to the front the politics of selfies and whether or not self-photography has the power to be an act of identity creation - and not just vanity. These are the things we should be talking about, but then you see her reaction to the controversy...



Aaaaaaand now I want to crawl into bed and just cry for the youth for a couple days.
