Parents' relative lack of interest in their children in the Middle Ages may have been a rational response to a distressingly high infant mortality rate, reckoned to have been around 200-300 per 1,000 live births in the first year of life, compared with single figures per 1,000 in rich countries now.

But when she met up with Refinery29 video producer Lucie Fink at 2017's VidCon, they decided to shock and delight the Internet with a new kind of spectacle — specifically, the Tin Can Challenge, which involves peeling open an unmarked vessel and trying to guess what weird, distressingly anonymous substance you're tasting.

By the time it expanded, to Atlanta, Paris in 2015, then London in 2016, Afropunk had earned a reputation as a place for black and POC misfits and radicals and distressingly well-dressed people to come together and celebrate being part of a subculture that was hard to pin down or name.

Should we ever resolve these questions in favor of the abolition of billionaires, the desirability of a healthy and inhabitable planet, and the equality of humankind, countless fascinating questions we don't get to ask within the distressingly retrograde confines of our current political and social order could finally come to the fore.

That's enough stress on a young relationship without the specter of Otis and Maeve's (Emma Mackey) dormant feelings for each other — but Maeve has enough on her plate with her recovering addict mother (Anne-Marie Duff), while Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) juggles old flame Adam (Connor Swindells) and a distressingly handsome new student (Sami Outalbali).

Toward the end of the audience Q&A at the Tribeca screening, after a man told Bryant that he was "a big fan of purpose" and a second distressingly voluble man told him that he'd dreamed of Bryant's wife and children the night before—"Welcome to New York City," Strahan half-apologized—a man in his 20s stood up.

It's hard enough to find a baby gift that isn't pre-sorted into pink or blue, and harder still to raise a child who is fully able to be themselves in a world that is quick to put them in boxes based on our wholly invented and distressingly limited ideas about what it means to be female or male.

If the author was anxious over becoming a mother again at age 21995, she seems also to have tapped into the cultural anxiety, when she began writing the book in 22010, of the post-truth era of George W. Bush — a feeling distressingly relevant, again, in whatever you'd care to call the era in which we now live.

The error is important not only because inaccurately tossing around the f-word contributes to the hyperbole that is turning civil society into a circus of inflammatory charges and countercharges, but also because it reveals a serious failure of understanding — one that's troublingly pervasive in Europe and even common among a distressingly large number of American liberals.

Set against the cut-and-thrust of contemporary politics while shifting back and forth in time, the play has distressingly little of import to say, and Mr. Hare's gift for writing women's parts hasn't extended to the doctor Pauline Gibson, who becomes a single-issue politico; the fine actress Siân Brooke ("Sherlock") is wasted in the role.

This was subsequently followed by a trip to the contest area, where I was able to watch attendees line up to try to defuse a bomb that was set up in a large wooden crate off to the side (the success record in this venture was distressingly low), expose IoT device vulnerabilities, and mess with a smart car.

IMPERIAL BEACH, California — Up and down the California coast, city officials are thinking about the threat of sea level rise — but for Imperial Beach, a small city of 27,000 residents just south of San Diego, that threat isn't a distant one: The city already deals with repeated, or what many city workers distressingly call "routine," flooding.

When asked about Deadpool 73's handling of Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), the love interest for Ryan Reynolds's Deadpool, Reese and Wernick told Vulture's Abraham Riesman that they'd never heard of "fridging" — a term for the distressingly frequent trope in which female characters experience violence, rape, or death solely in order to give the men in their lives something to be sad about.

Last weekend's mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton have resulted in the distressingly familiar post-massacre ritual: the cable TV news roving crisis bubble migrating to the new sites; the riveting stories of heartbreak and heroism; the news, reported each time as though it's a revelation, that the initial first responders were civilians, who don't really consider themselves heroes but who did their best.

Like Dope and Tangerine, two films that emerged from last year's Sundance with big buzz only to be utterly absent from this year's Oscars, these are films that never really enter the conversation because they're not seen as "Oscar movies" — a term that for white filmmakers can mean everything from stories about running a baseball team to having a midlife crisis, but for everyone else has a distressingly narrow definition.

The danger is that, in so doing, he will create unrealistic expectations in a country where a large share of the population feels it has been left to deal with immigration alone and where almost everyone has accepted the alibi long put forward by governments of left and right alike: that Italy's distressingly low growth is not because of their own failure to introduce structural reforms, but entirely because of the European Commission's stinginess.

The individual circumstances of each case are different, but the themes are distressingly similar: multi-hour interrogations without lawyers present; cartoonishly overconfident detectives and prosecutors who decide extremely early on that their suspects are the only suspects and neglect other leads in the process; communities with a high regard for supreme police authority; and juries swayed by the dynamic, polished performances of prosecutors as well as their own disbelief that anyone would falsely to confess to murder.

We have, in postmodernity, given up on the attempt to 'estrange' our daily life and see it in new, poetic or nightmarish, ways; we have given up the analysis of it in terms of the commodity form, in a situation in which everything by now is a commodity; we have abandoned the quest for new languages to describe the stream of the self-same or new psychologies to diagnose its distressingly unoriginal reactions and psychic events.
