The idea of a five-year sunset to NAFTA would mean unnecessary uncertainty that detracts from the benefits of the agreement, but the idea of an ongoing review is fine so long as businesses can be assured of the stability of the fundamental aspects of the agreement.

"The fact that Robert Mueller fired an investigator immediately when these texts came to light is evidence he's running a tight ship and lends credibility to his investigation — not detracts from it," Lisa Gilbert, an expert on government ethics at the watchdog group Public Citizen, told me in a December interview.

The devices went on sale last Wednesday, and early buyers quickly discovered something that flew under the radar in a lot of press reviews: you can expect to see many apps with black bars surrounding them, which detracts from the new "all-screen" (but definitely not edge-to-edge) design of these iPads.

And while the Ashley Eternal hologram makes sense as a lucrative live-tour substitute (and the optics of replacing a flesh-and-blood human with a CG image is an effective kind of body horror), it fundamentally misses the mark on what actually makes a pop star "eternal," and detracts from a bigger discussion about the humanity—or lack thereof—of celebrity culture.
