Despite the occasional warning that progress is "hard-won" and "perfect order" isn't "the natural state of affairs," Pinker's book is filled with such fulsome apologias, which inadvertently suggest that the gains of the Enlightenment are so delicate that they require the historical gloss he compulsively provides.

"Best" is, of course, impossible to quantify; one man's trash is another man's treasure, or, put in a book-lover's terms, one person's one-star Goodreads review is another person's compulsively readable favorite, and for this reason the Booker Prize announcements are met annually with controversy.

|
|
The plot lines that emerged did not endear fans or attract new viewers: Benjamin Horne, the town's property mogul, had a nervous breakdown and started compulsively eating carrots; a 35-year-old woman with amnesia turned into a high school men's wrestling champion; an endangered weasel became fodder for corporate subterfuge.
|
|
It violates the standard, immensely comforting formula of the locked room mystery, the formula that makes Christie's books so compulsively readable: There is meant to be one killer per crime, a single figure whose motive, means, and opportunity all become clear at the end in a single shining moment of revelation.
|
|
I felt a particular affinity with Rimmer, generally understood to be the most insufferable of the lot; he was anal retentive and compulsively disciplined, so in that sense I was more of a Lister, but he was a constant underachiever who couldn't take responsibility but hated himself for it, just like me.

Building on this body of work, the authors of a recent study published in The Journal of Neuroscience say they were able to take a bunch of alcoholic rats and get them to completely stop drinking "compulsively" with an injection targeting and de-activating a specific brain pathway linking drinking and reward.

Both were major label-funded guitar bands, neither much revolutionizing the rock DNA, and performing on the same level of celebrity that made use of the dwindling airtime that MTV devoted to programming that didn't feature claymation wrestling or True Life documentaries about people who compulsively ate entire rolls of toilet paper.
|
|
My irrational need to receive constant updates on all current events and internet gossip (normally fulfilled by compulsively checking my Twitter feed and remaining in round-the-clock text message communication with friends checking their own slightly different Twitter feeds) would have to be satisfied by the newspaper, the radio and network news.

Carrère himself sees the book as a kind of masterpiece, not in an arrogant way but in the manner of a fine carpenter who, for five years, after compulsively rubbing coat after coat of mineral oil into a long-completed cherry table, recognizes, not without some surprise, that it glows with inner light.
|
|
It's also an incredibly far cry from the high-fashion world of yesteryear, which has been brought back to life in a compulsively readable oral history, "Loulou & Yves: The Untold Story of Loulou de La Falaise and the House of Saint Laurent" — though that tome likewise has some lessons we might all take on board.

Mediator The last year has turned the United States into a country of information addicts who compulsively check the television, the smartphone and the good old-fashioned newspaper with a burning question: What fresh twist could our national election drama and its executive producer, Donald J. Trump, possibly have in store for us now?
|

Halloween has spawned multiple sequels and reboots, most of which try to get back to what made the Carpenter/Hill film a classic: the relentless masked monster Michael Myers, a placid-looking small town populated by vulnerable teens, and the idea that evildoers and the people they've traumatized compulsively return to the scene of the crime every so often.

Other causes for concern: Your friend regularly rushes to the bathroom post-meal, a sign of purging; works out compulsively, a sign of exercise bulimia; wears overly baggy clothes, not as a fashion statement but to hide how thin they are; or has loads of empty junk-food wrappers hidden in their room, which could signal a recent binge.

I had drifted to compulsively online shopping for a neutral body con dress, like the one Beyoncé paired with gold heels and a pale rose trench in a March maternity style Instagram post, when the news of Serena Williams' accidental snapchat reveal broke, and I was taken with the notion that everything was going to be okay.

A baby cannot compulsively pursue a substance despite bad outcomes: A newborn doesn't even know what he or she craves and a person unable to roll over or crawl, let alone walk or talk, would have, shall we say, a hard time scoring, especially since infants don't tend to have much money stowed in their onesies.

The story — a traumatized girl grows into a sexually frigid, kleptomaniac, compulsively identity-shifting young woman, saved by psychoanalysis and the patient love of a wealthy man — has been told in Winston Graham's 1961 novel, Alfred Hitchcock's 1964 film and now Nico Muhly's new opera, which had its premiere at English National Opera here on Saturday.

Seating himself on a hay bale, he began strumming "If I Could Talk I'd Tell You," a Lemonheads song from 1996 that captures everything you need to know about the band in two minutes, 51 seconds: the compulsively catchy melodies, the drug references and the mordant wordplay ("Khmer Rhouge, genocide quoi/ your place or Mein Kampf").
|
|
If you're grossed out by the utter charmlessness and moral squalor of a year's worth of debased political self-indulgence, a perfect antidote is "The Crown," Netflix's compulsively watchable dramatization of the life of Queen Elizabeth II, served up on a silver platter by dramatist Peter Morgan ("The Queen") and the director and producer Stephen Daldry ("The Audience").

The young man who joined the Young People's Socialist League as a student at the University of Chicago in the early 1960s on the hoary notion that "capital" should be in the hands of workers, not capitalists, is now the old man who rails compulsively against "the billionaire class" and wants to nationalize the health insurance industry.

Tillman was about to head to Europe to tour for his new album, "Pure Comedy," and Oswalt is starring in the upcoming movie adaptation of Dave Eggers's "The Circle," but they compulsively came up with five new projects over the afternoon — plus an impromptu Tom Waits duet about a man with a spider on his head: Spider Head.

"The American people do not want a president who is compulsively dishonest, who is a bully, who actively represents the interests of the billionaire class, who is anti-science, and who is trying to divide us up based on the color of our skin, our nation of origin, our religion, our gender, or our sexual orientation," Sanders said.

He is compulsively creative, an affliction that Axel and Pierre-Alexis have accommodated by allowing him to remain technically a freelancer; he still keeps his own eponymous Paris-based shoe line, and from 2001 to 2012, he also designed footwear for Balenciaga under Nicolas Ghesquière, who is now the artistic director of women's collections at Louis Vuitton.
|
|
So perhaps what makes the story of Theranos and its founder Elizabeth Holmes so compulsively interesting is that it's the rare double grift, subtext and text: Holmes, who promised that technology her company had supposedly developed would change the world of medical testing forever, fed the con through sucking the metaphorical blood of wealthy people's bank accounts and through, well, actual blood.
|

In less capable hands, these elements would likely congeal into a simultaneously silly and self-serious program worthy of low-level ridicule; instead, creator Sam Esmail (who wrote and directed the 12 episodes in Mr. Robot's second season, a rare feat of auteurism even in modern TV's boundary-free landscape) has so far delivered a show that's slick, compelling, and compulsively watchable.
|
|
He wasn't the only player in reality TV — venerable franchises like American Idol and The Bachelor were airing and had nothing to do with him — but he was the guy who imported Survivor and turned it into the biggest thing on TV. His reality shows had the slick pacing of a compulsively watchable serialized drama, but the authenticity of real people making tough decisions.

Recent takes on the reluctant or terrified mother include "The Babadook," Jennifer Kent's debut feature about a mother troubled both by her misbehaving son and a demonic force, "Prevenge," Alice Lowe's slasher about a pregnant woman whose fetus compels her to kill, and "Swallow," about Hunter Conrad (Haley Bennett), a dutiful housewife who, once she learns she is pregnant, begins compulsively swallowing dangerous inanimate objects.
|
|
There's something compulsively watchable about it, and I expect it to be a big hit, if only because it's telling a story unlike any other on TV.

Her story is told variously by Lisa, a 40-ish recruitment executive with a busy job and the loss of a young son in her past; her teenage daughter, Ava, who compulsively checks Facebook, connects with her friends in a WhatsApp group called MyBitches, is being text-seduced by a creepy older man, and is, in general, a first-act-of-"SVU" victim in print form; and Marilyn, Lisa's closest friend.

It shouldn't elicit sympathy from anyone: the Yankees' "triumph" of the 03s, which subsided into almost total collapse beginning in 1989, was one of the great sustained examples of overpriced incompetence in baseball history—a blowhard organization hiding behind bogus achievements instead of facing its failures, compulsively spending on free agents while willfully neglecting the farm system, denigrating the few young players that somehow emerged from those stagnant pastures, and then, when they couldn't win championships, boasting that they'd won more games than anyone.

"My Lords, having been contacted by someone intimately involved in the case of a powerful businessman using non-disclosure agreements and substantial payments to conceal the truth about serious and repeated sexual harassment, racist abuse and bullying, which is compulsively continuing, I feel it's my duty under privilege to name Philip Green as the individual in question, given that the media have been subject to an injunction preventing publication of the full details of a story, which is clearly in the public interest," Lord Hain told Parliament on Thursday.
