The Chicago police is still a symbol of very abject, very inhumane corruption; Freddie Gray's broken spine was only enough for a hung jury; and there are people saying that 12-year-old Tamir Rice deserved to have his life ended by what was essentially a police drive-by.

What's most bedeviled liberals in their efforts to address the climate change crisis, for instance, hasn't been intractable internal disputes over whether carbon taxes are better than cap-and-trade systems, but the abject refusal of conservatives to accept that climate change is worth doing anything about at all.

The Frog was spawned in 2003 by Swedish animator Erik Wernquist, and by 2006, he'd slunk back into his pond to die a necessarily sad, lonely, and hopefully painful death—a victim of his own viral success, an abject aberration who left nothing behind but a bloated, drug-stuffed corpse.

And yet, here I am, quivering with total excitement (and abject fear) at the prospect of Jordan Peele's follow-up to Get Out, because whereas Peele's Oscar-winning debut was more of a thriller about race, the trailer for Us makes abundantly clear that it is a full-on horror film.

The bizarre organizational eagerness to mix it up via anonymous quotes and innuendo, the abject inability to handle anything personnel-related privately or with anything like equanimity, the baffling passive-aggressive state of war between the team and all of its most notable players—that's what Metsiness looks like, and does.

The show's Heidi character was a direct reference to the work of the American artists Mike Kelley and Paul McCarthy, both of whom Van Beirendonck cites as major influences in confronting the violence and oppression of childhood (Kelley's work was more abject, even plaintive; McCarthy's remains more aggressive and sexually threatening).

But empty-nest syndrome has gained especial piquancy in a world in which parents and their college-bound offspring are in the habit of texting one another a few times a day, and in which accounts of shootings on campuses are repeated on social media with a frequency bordering on the abject.

And now he's thrown our transgendered soldiers and veterans under the bus — likely in order to change the subject from the Senate Judiciary Committee's interviews of his son and his former campaign manager about the Trump campaign's Russia connections, and to distract from the abject failure and humiliation that his administration has been thus far.

|
|
The episode brings up long-running gags (like Charlie's obsession with the Waitress he's been effectively stalking all series long) and more obscure references (like the mystery of what exactly happened when Charlie and Dee had sex), and then has the other characters who hear about them, especially the duo leading the seminar, react in abject, slack-jawed horror.

MSNBC spent the last three years selling Trump's participation first in a murky conspiracy involving Russia and then a clownishly overt one involving Ukraine; both really were roughly as bad as they look, but thanks to the abject submissiveness of elected Republicans, and despite some righteous West Wing cosplay by elected Democrats, neither has really mattered much.

Too, tied to the stake of foundational doubt Steam off rocks of this perception… The poem continues toward discontinuity through these de-parsed tokens of abject experience; in the image, the animal stares through bars of steam and light, repeating the law of the zoo's universe: the cage, where one has "no subject but light," and all is a tethering stake.

Crushed, the poet composed aborted lines of abject grief: child sprung from the two of us—showing us our ideal… father and mother who sadly existing survive him as the two extremes— … —from whence his death—o- blitrating this little child "self" To read Mallarmé's poetry against a backdrop of repeated unpreventable tragic human loss is to attune oneself to its elegiac aspects.

It's the same impulse that makes some people wish we could wear flouncy hats and drink tea with Downton Abbey's Dowager Countess as Carson clucks disapprovingly in the background, all while completely disregarding the fact that a large chunk of the British population still lived in abject poverty in the years following World War I. But back to Hattie McDaniel.

Their tight, crisp skin, encasing a mixture of barley, spiced pork, and beef, is slick with delicious fat, and you might find, while reluctantly cutting the last of three in half—for equitable sharing with your dinner date, of course—that it slips from beneath your fork and bounces off your plate, as you both look on in abject horror.
