Jessica suggests to her fellow H.O. members (I do love that acronym) that they'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but Jessica herself isn't immune to extremes; her platform as class president repeatedly conflates athletes with rapists and talks of banning sports rather than teaching consent.

Other pieces of it include an IUD/IED installation that conflates contraceptive intrauterine devices with improvised explosive devices and an insurance policy for building tampons that "may be scaled up as personal flotation devices," or expanded to address a number of other satirical symptoms of social discord.

So while emergency contraception like Plan B is highly visible, the restrictions on medication abortion leave abortion pills clouded in relative obscurity for the general public, potentially leading to confusion that conflates the two, explained Usha Ranji, the associate director of women's health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

" She marvels at the body's ability to wake up early for work even when she's sick, notes the irony of "looking for work / so you can keep living / to undo / what work does," and conflates the "I that is the I of the poem" and the "I of my life.

And opposition that conflates the risks of conservative policies with those of democratic breakdown — say, by reacting to Betsy DeVos (who embraces vouchers for private schools) and Michael Flynn (who embraces insane conspiracy theories) as equivalent threats — trivializes constitutional concerns and makes it easier to dismiss complaints as losers' sour grapes.

" Their proximity conflates Shkreli's naked greed (like Trump's, far more blatant and boorish than the financial sector, as personified by Blankfein, can countenance) with the floridly violent fantasies (à la Carpenter and Myers) that Trump indulges when he speaks of bringing back waterboarding and "a hell of a lot worse.

"In a rush to vilify a single manufacturer whose medicines represent less than two percent of opioid pain prescriptions rather than doing the hard work of trying to solve a complex public health crisis, the complaint distorts critical facts and cynically conflates prescription opioid medications with illegal heroin and fentanyl," Purdue Pharma said.

Observing this version of feminist signaling, which conflates the rebel, haphazard spirit of a Bloomsbury Group-like smockishness with traces of early '90s grunge and a dash of post-bellum Sunday best, we might begin to ask ourselves: What happens when women start dressing in ways that are less than conventionally flattering?

Specifically, I worry that the language being used at the highest levels of this debate promotes a conception of autonomous weapons that conflates potential abuses of the technology with features of the technology itself and possesses the danger of absolving programmers and military implementers of moral responsibility where such responsibility is needed most.

But the way that "Metalhead" conflates Bella's seeming eventual suicide (after realizing how many trackers are embedded beneath her skin) with that open box of teddy bears suggests a deeper, larger meaning that is either insultingly shallow — look at us silly humans, going out of our way for our dumb creature comforts when they're largely unnecessary — or willfully obtuse.

When you have a political party that takes as its mission to prevent government from working instead of to make government work, a party that conflates the ill effects of a changing economy with the changing complexion of the country and is still struck by fever over the election of President Obama, Trump is a natural, predictable endpoint.

Hosoe's 20-minute film featuring Hijikata, Navel and A-Bomb (1960), conflates the unspeakable horror of the atomic bomb with religious allegories through simple acts and gestures: a bird's-eye view of young boys crawling through sand like insects; fingers pressing into navels ("the key to life, the link to the mother's womb," Hosoe explained in an online interview).

The report "conflates black political activists with dangerous domestic terrorist organizations that pose actual threats to law enforcement," the Congressional Black Caucus said in a letter asking for a meeting with the F.B.I. "It relies on a handful of obviously terrible incidents to paint black Americans who exercise free speech against witnessed police brutality as possible violent extremists," the letter said.

Still more disconcerting, many of Mr. Trump's critics believe he is not just an embodiment of the unqualified trickster with "talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity" feared by Hamilton; they believe he is a one-man constitutional crisis who empowers white nationalists, conflates his business interests with the public good and displays contempt for the rule of law.

The objection is based on the idea that erasing the station's name wipes clean a century or so of history; that it needlessly, ham-fistedly conflates the identities of Tottenham the area and Tottenham the team; that it creates the impression, deep down, below the fresh coats of paint, that the place exists to serve the club, rather than the club existing to reflect the place.

Uncle Drew conflates that idea with something almost mythic, a blacktop legend who walked away from the game because it stopped being as pure as he hoped it would be, and it briefly flirts with the idea that Drew can't handle the way the Rucker has become commercialized (though I missed the resolution of this plot point because — and I mean this literally — I paused to take a sip of water).

Trump did use the term "Islamic terrorism," which critics assert conflates Islam with terrorism, but his speech, which was received with polite attention from the leaders of the Muslim world, was a largely anodyne account of the need for civilized countries to work together to defeat terrorist groups in the name of our common humanity and -- minus some swipes at Iran -- could have been delivered by President Obama.

Leigh's 16-foot high bronze bust of a black woman with a fascinating, inscrutable face, prominent braids, and a jug- or vessel-shaped torso that also conflates diverse architectural forms, including a special, rather alarming building in Mississippi (more on this later) and different types of West African dwellings (likewise), has been selected to inaugurate the High Line's new High Line Plinth section devoted solely to art, at 30th Street and 10th Avenue.

Government bans phrase 'fake news' The United Kingdom has banned the term "fake news" after urging ministers to use "misinformation" or "disinformation" instead, Margi Murphy reports: The phrase — a favourite of US President Donald Trump — will no longer appear in policy documents or official papers because it is "a poorly-defined and misleading term that conflates a variety of false information, from genuine error through to foreign interference in democratic processes," officials said.
