|
|

|
|
Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad were crucial to the band's success, and some of ABBA's reductive treatment of women may be chalked up to the period in which they were making music, but it probably wouldn't be too far of a reach to say that Andersson and Ulvaeus straight-up hated women.
|
|
Like all of us in the throes of #MeToo, I have been taking rigorous inventory of my sexual history, rolling back the tape on past highs and lows: the disturbing teenage experiences no longer chalked up to miscommunication, those times I gave in because it was easier, some unwanted advance successfully fended off.
|
|
The idealist spirit, which once drove the Times' David Brooks to criticize Ta-Nehisi Coates' writing on race for "excessive realism"—an extraordinarily telling phrase—typically prevails in American politics for reasons that are often chalked up to the complexity of structural and historical analyses and the public's lack of civic education.
|
|
But here's a real doozy that can chalked up to either blind partisanship or utter laziness: As T. Becket Adams of the Washington Examiner pointed out, not even included in the piece are Perry's own words from back in December showing a clear understanding of what the job entailed and meant to him.
|
|

|
|
But the jacket usurped the intended good she had wanted to do by visiting the border for herself, the first Trump family member to have done so -- it would become the calling card for her critics, a moment of sheer tone-deafness that Trump later chalked up to sending a message to the meddling media.
|
|
It's hard to miss the fact that the Anonymous NFL Front Office Guy's counterparts in baseball and basketball are increasingly young dudes with Ivy League degrees and maybe MBA's, that they communicate using different acronyms and spend most of their time quantifying things that the NFL has always eagerly chalked up to gumption and grit.
