It may be true that we don't want to see how the sausage is made when it comes to public policy or whatever, but there is something strikingly urgent about watching Smith blithely fill one natural casing after another with grade-F thoughtmeat, and then throw those rancid thought dogs right on the dang grill.

That incident involved a man you loved and kept sleeping with intermittently for years afterward, who still blithely chitchats back and forth with you about this and that, including, now, all these unfortunate cases in the news—you still don't use the name with him, or bring up the episode in question at all.

It was hard not to see that conviction reflected in the findings of Reich's papers, which seemed to blithely recapitulate discredited theories of Pacific expansion, making categorical claims not only about four individual skulls but about the shape of human history — claims that were essentially indistinguishable from the racialized notions of the swashbuckling imperial era.

In the Daily Beast, Kevin Fallon noted that only a straight white man who mentioned his civilian wife and four kids, a man who styles himself as the moral compass of the Hollywood establishment, could so blithely imply that sexuality could and should be hidden (for art's sake), unaware of the political importance of coming out publicly in Hollywood.

As Mr Trump has said that he wants the nuclear weapons gone, and that the Singapore agreement will make that happen, he will either have to show progress towards that end, blithely lie about the end having already been achieved despite evidence to the contrary, or change his mind and get tough—which would presumably mean bellicose—again.

One pastor at the VU blithely insisted that Dutch churches must denounce "gender ideology" now because they had failed to call out Nazism (which was, incidentally, murderously homophobic.) Although Mr Wilders, the champion of Dutch nativism, has stayed almost silent, some conservative commentators accused leftists of hypocrisy, in other words of condemning homophobia among Christians, but not among Muslims.

There's a new introduction blithely titled "So About That Whole Drama" which addresses his disinvitation from CPAC and ensuing fall from disgrace; a subsection titled "Milo's College Rankings" which lists a mere 16 higher learning institutions divided into two cliche tabloid-style categories—Heroes and Zeroes; a few paragraphs now discuss the barely-remembered "donglegate" dustup from 2013.

All those kinds of stories follow similar rules — rules which are blithely, rudely shattered by VR. A movie viewer, or a book reader, is in the same position as the unfortunate Billy Pilgrim in the Vonnegut quote with which I opened this piece: trapped in a linear narrative, with every sensation restricted and controlled by someone else.

No doubt this approach has accounted for his continuing appeal among young voters (and aging hippies), whose idealism and thin grasp of history allows them to remain blithely unaware of the Mount Everest of dead bodies amassed by socialist philosophies — affording old Leftists like Sanders and like-minded intellectuals to tip-toe gingerly around the corpses.
|
|
For example, even casual marijuana smokers can be denied transplants; the New York Times can blithely write about how saving overdose victims might have negative "consequences"; and for decades, proven interventions like needle exchange have been held up by political opposition, based on the (demonstrably false) idea that they could encourage young people to take up drugs.

When I encounter women who participate in a stratum of the girl experience that I think is below all of us — blithely excusing fuck-man behavior, but sparring with women in ways that are subtle and noxious — I will drop in my own judgments, as if I've never loved a dummy or vied for social position.

"It's not really about the tweet or him coming back and saying what happened didn't happen, but it is systematic of a larger cancer, which we've all come to just sort of blithely accept the fact that the highest office holder in the land can multiple times a day say something that isn't true," Sanford said.

"The Harvard Business School became (and remains) so intoxicated with its own importance that it blithely assumed away one of the most important questions it could ask, which was whether the capitalist system it was uniquely positioned to help improve was designed properly for the long term," Mr. McDonald writes in the book, to be released in two weeks.

For this puzzle, three of these were BURNOUT for 20 across, "fatigue"; ABOUTFACE for 29 down, "complete reversal"; and JELLYFISH for 25 across, "translucent sea creature that drifts with the current," which was a mighty specific clue – one that I would have looked sideways at on Friday or Saturday, but blithely took at face value here.

And what they did instead — turning their party into an accessory to Clinton's appetites, shamelessly abandoning feminist principle, smearing victims and blithely ignoring his most credible accuser, all because Republicans funded the investigations and they're prudes and it's all just Sexual McCarthyism — feels in the cold clarity of hindsight like a great act of partisan deformation.

The U.K. and EU both set out their negotiating positions on Monday with Prime Minister Boris Johnson blithely stating that there was "no need" for the U.K. to accept EU rules as part of a free trade agreement, and if the EU won't budge and give it a Canada-style free trade agreement, it could walk away.

Here is what a "dad nap" looks like: A man passed out in the middle of any high-traffic domestic space, usually with a fair amount of ruckus going on around him while he blithely sleeps the day away, perhaps with a quilt pulled over his head to block out sound and cover his mouth, which is definitely agape.

Mr. Lagerfeld blithely sprinkled his conversations with erudite references, as does Mr. Abloh, though his tend to be the references of popular intellectualism (Mies van der Rohe, Duchamp, Rem Koolhaas), while Mr. Lagerfeld's were often obscure and extraordinary (the Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen and his 1914 children's book, "East of the Sun and West of the Moon").

"It is rather typical of North Korea to feel that it could blithely violate the rules like this — using a W.M.D. in an airport or taking hostages in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomacy," said Robert E. Kelly, a professor of political science at Pusan National University in South Korea, referring to weapons of mass destruction.

"The Harvard Business School became (and remains) so intoxicated with its own importance that it blithely assumed away one of the most important questions it could ask, which was whether the capitalist system it was uniquely positioned to help improve was designed properly for the long term," Mr. McDonald writes in the book, to be released in two weeks.

We often blithely consider British and American literature to be essentially the same (not least perhaps because so many contemporary British writers live part of the time in the United States); but in fact, there are in each country highly regarded writers whose books for whatever reasons don't garner the same attention on the other side of the pond.

Specificially, Kazaks didn't appreciate the fact that Cohen was blithely filling a void of ignorance with an over-the-top image of their country as a dirt-poor, rabidly anti-Semitic, and misogynistic shithole known for exporting young boys to Michael Jackson's ranch, producing 300 tons of pubic hair a year, and shooting dogs for sport.

While the enormity of the disaster at Grenfell Tower was difficult to understand, it also exposed a bewildering media landscape: A broken established media that had lost the trust of the community in North Kensington, England and the wider public, and an insurgent alternative media that is, at its worst, only "alternative" in so far as will blithely promote alternative facts.

In effect, Mr. Trump was blithely taking full credit for ending a brutal battle he had a hand in starting and claiming a significant feat when in fact the betrayal of the Kurds and the brusque, thoughtless American withdrawal undermined American credibility and was a major victory for Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Bashar al-Assad, the butcher of Syria.

Shell, for instance, says it hopes to slash $30 billion from combined operating costs and capital spending by the end of this year, compared with 2014, despite the effort involved in swallowing BG. Second, investment projects are being looked at more realistically than they were when it was blithely assumed that oil prices would remain above $100 a barrel for the foreseeable future.
|
|
The internments ended seven decades before their legality was blithely overturned, and if we still judge the court harshly for it, we bracket our judgment of the president who gave us the interments themselves: an evil and unnecessary act by the man we nevertheless broadly consider one of the great American presidents, up in the pearly heights of Washington and Lincoln.
|

While most American policymakers blithely repeat this strange formulation (the phrase made its debut in the 2005 Joint Statement of the Six-Party Talks and is enshrined in every U.N. Security Council Resolution on North Korea passed since July 85033), to Pyongyang "denuclearization" means the ultimate goal of dislodging the U.S. extended nuclear deterrence from the region — that is, South Korea and Japan.
|
|
A major study of progress in the war written jointly by MACV and the American Embassy in early November blithely ignored ongoing battles near Dak To in II Corps and around Loc Ninh in III Corps, to write that the enemy was "confining his major operations almost entirely to the general DMZ border area" (the northernmost part of I Corps).
|

Right now, a lot of broke young millennials I know are still going in to work at bars, cafes, and BDSM dungeons because they really, really need to keep those jobs, and—as boomers have been blithely demonstrating for decades—if a species-level crisis probably isn't going to kill you personally, you might as well pretend it's not happening.

What's more interesting: Martha, bold and blithely unaware of her self-interest in pursuing civilian misery for good stories (always feeling terrible but moving on regardless — "Spain was a chance to find my voice as well as my compass") — or Martha and Ernest together, him irritable and irritating, daiquiris seeping in like floodwater under the door of their Cuban paradise?

For you to blithely endorse the notion that hunters, target shooters and those who legally possess firearms for protection be bludgeoned with additional taxes on top of those we already pay as an end run around the legislative process is irresponsible and does little to advance meaningful changes in gun laws, or to battle a gun menace waged mostly by criminals already subject to existing laws.

The faculty members, an agreeable if fractious lot, each have psychological baggage: Zhang Yiman (Ren Suxi) is blithely laissez-faire about sex; Pei Kuishan (played by an actor with the same name) has sensitive digestion; Zhou Tienan (Liu Shuailiang) is a righteous hothead; and the dean, Sun Henghai (Da Li), is trying to preserve his institution while raising his 15-year-old daughter, Jia (Bu Guanjin).

He cites an unclassified presentation given by Ira Hunt, then the chief technologist at the CIA, in which he blithely told a crowd of conference attendees and journalists that "it is nearly within our grasp to compute on all human-generated information", and that the spooks could eavesdrop on every one of their communications and track their smartphones even when they were switched off.

The sport's gatekeepers, like Bryant himself, had internalized and built an entire ethos out of the idea that what made Jordan so great and successful was his acid contempt for his peers and disdain for the NBA, the league he'd big-timed into crisis in 1993, when he blithely walked away from it at the peak of his powers to play minor-league baseball for a year.

In his first collection of stories, Bob-Waksberg's characters often stride blithely through some form of "Anti-Door" (as in one of the longest stories, "We Men of Science") that lands them smack dab in the middle of the same life they left behind: imperfect relationships, annoying jobs and too many people paying too much attention to social media and not enough attention to one another.

Near-masterpieces include the regally attired "Asher," who in Jacob's words "shall provide royal delicacies," carrying a basket of bread loaves that display Zurbarán's subtle mastery of still-life, and "Dan," who "shall be a snake by the roadside" (apparently, a good thing for a man associated with judges) and who gestures blithely, as if speaking to someone out of frame, while wielding a live serpent on a stick.

A slight lack of professional polish is part of their aesthetic, one Busch shares with longtime collaborators including the director Carl Andress, who blithely suggests the earthquake with little more than a few falling books; the set designer B.T. Whitehill, who has fashioned a proscenium out of pink plastic Frisbees; and Jessica Jahn, whose hilarious outfits for Lily have more than a hint of the thrift shop about them.
|

Rifkele, played with lovely sensitivity by Ms. Schmidt, yearns for freedom, too — the freedom to love Manke — but her father is busy arranging a good marriage for her, with the help of Reb Eli (a wryly funny David Mandelbaum), the matchmaker, who blithely brushes away Yankl's almost obsessive sense of guilt over his business, assuring him that as long as he's a good Jew, everything will be fine.

Today, at a time that the coronavirus epidemic is spreading to the four corners of the world and at a time that it has already caused the economic equivalent of a cardiac arrest in China, the world's second largest economy, Larry KudlowLawrence (Larry) Alan KudlowMORE, President Trump's chief economic adviser, is blithely telling us that it is far too early for the Trump administration to be panicked into a significant economic stimulus package.
|
|
His economics is all wrong, which is the main thing; but it's also worth noting that thee and a half years ago Romney himself argued for exactly the same policies Trump advocates now, blithely dismissing the dangers: "I've watched year in and year out as companies have shut down and people have lost their jobs because China has not played by the same rules, in part by holding down artificially the value of their currency," Mr. Romney said.

Compare this, as Bailey does, with the warning issued in a dating guide from the nineteen-fifties—representative of a genre that has survived with roachlike endurance to the present day—that for girls to ask guys out would be "to usurp the right of boys to choose their own dates," a custom that the guide claimed stretched back to the Stone Age, when, readers were blithely informed, men regarded women as prey and took them by force.

The producer Cy Feuer, who put on two late Porter shows, says in his memoir that Porter didn't really care where the songs fit within the story; he was blithely composing numbers for "Can-Can" (1953) while the book writer and the director struggled bitterly with the plotline, and though he threw in new ones as needed, he seems to have stood mostly aside, amused and productive, as the rest of the creative team raged and yelled.

It's clearly not a crime for the president to be blithely unconcerned about Russian cyberwarfare, or to ignore the unanimous verdict of his national security team and excise reference from NATO's Article V in his speech in Brussels, or to install a national security adviser who was known for his idiosyncratic pro-Russian views, or to bypass every conventionally qualified candidate for secretary of state in favor of an oil executive with idiosyncratic pro-Russian views.
|
|
No modern president has been more willing to use U.S. service members or border police as props for his politics, to blithely declare without evidence that most of the 800,000 federal workers going unpaid during the government shutdown are Democrats, to refer to the Pentagon leadership as "my generals" and "my military," and to denounce different federal judges who have ruled against him as a "so-called judge," an "Obama judge" and a "Mexican" judge (even though he was born in Indiana).

And of course we saw the sea, always the sea, with its many faces, glass-smooth and stone-rough, at certain times blithely open and at others tightly inscrutable, sometimes a weak blue so clear that you could see straight down to the sea urchins at the bottom, spiked and expectant-looking, like mines left over from some war whose causes and combatants no one remembers, and sometimes an impenetrable purple, the color of the wine that we refer to as red but the Greeks call black.

Self-loathing is inherent only insofar as it's learned behavior from those around you: your not-boyfriends that kick you out the back door and are horrified at the idea that their friends might know about you, your thin friends who blithely suggest that you go shopping together or that they never think of you as fat because, to them, fat means ugly and stupid and lazy and gross and you're none of those things, your mother and her pained flinching or blunt reprisal of your body because that's what she learned from TV and movies and music and magazines and from her mother.

The same choices and tragedies play out again and again—a very young woman marries a soon-to-be-famous sculptor, who leaves her while she is pregnant with their second child; a not-quite-as-young woman marries a rich, dashing man who turns out to be addicted to heroin; a couple in New Mexico struggle through the first year of their marriage on a property without electricity or running water; a young woman with several children cheats on her good, kind husband; the teenage daughter of an American mining engineer occupies high society in Chile and does her best to blithely ignore the imminent revolution.

A good thing I did when I lived a six-story waterslide away from a very busy city intersection and started walking my puppy around all the time (which I thought was going to be like endless summers with my dogs and some, I don't know, chalk and paperclips in my pocket, but I forgot that my now-adult friends are always somewhere else in the middle of the day, which is a fucking ongoing nightmare-devastation) was to judiciously refuse interruptions, so, rather than doing the annoyed headphone removal cut-eye sideways-face or "I have headphones on I can't hear you no I can't hear youuu" reverberating through your own face-bones, so loud, I just smiled blithely and continued, in my silence.
