"I would freak out. I wouldn’t know what to do."
— Michael Conley, a senior at Indiana University—Bloomington, a self-proclaimed social media addict who estimates that he spends 10 hours a day using platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, mainly for professional networking and “communicating with like-minded people,” on what he would do if on-campus social media were blocked — Imagining College Life Without Social Media
"Weiner talked at great length about why he wasn’t going to answer questions on the matter. If that is his stance, fine, but we’d recommend just issuing a written statement saying so. In this type of situation you need to either be in—or be out. Defend yourself and answer all questions—or just issue a press release and shut up. Given the salacious details of his story—Weiner is smoking his socks if he thinks he can get reporters to ask him his thoughts about the debt ceiling and health care."

![Vladimir Putin Calls John McCain ‘Nuts’ During Twitter Fight: Sen. McCain and Prime Minister Putin engaged in war of words over Russian elections
Protests seen across Russia following the election are the largest in over 20 years. McCain seized the opportunity to liken them to the ones that toppled governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere, and he took to Twitter on the day after the election, saying, “Dear Vlad, The #ArabSpring is coming to a neighborhood near you.”
Speaking on a call-in TV show, Putin, who is well-known for his macho demeanor, explained that McCain “can’t live without the kind of disgusting, repulsive scenes like the killing of Gadhafi,” and dismissed the Arizona Republican’s remarks about the potential power of the Russian protests.
“Mr. McCain was captured and they kept him not just in prison, but in a pit for several years. Anyone [in his place] would go nuts,” Putin said, according to the Associated Press.
McCain again struck back at Putin via Twitter, saying, “Dear Vlad, is it something I said?”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwbiygfaFd1qzsz2ao1_500.png)
