A close Trump associate said that Trump, a 71-year-old brash former reality TV star who had never held public office before he entered the White House in January, had yet to comprehend the need to improve his relationship with McConnell, a 75-year-old dour legislative tactician with more than 30 years in the U.S. Senate.
Acknowledging the grimly realistic idea that a lot of our real-life paths lead to pretty mundane and predictable ends — and then torquing that to imply that if we just make the exact right choices, any of our lives could fly off the handle and lead to murder, madness, and magic — might not be as bleak and dour as Brooker likes to go.
Given stewardship of a great and fascinating game that people love to watch, the NFL decided—for reasons that could only make sense to the dour regional billionaires that own its franchises, and which are best expressed by the thick ginger oaf they hired as their factotum—to focus on the gnarled and grandiose aspirations of its singularly boring owners.
And to prove that very point, one Twitter user has responded to the Captain Marvel complaints by manipulating photos of Marvel's male superheroes to smile in moments where they've otherwise expressed more dour expressions: I saw some dude use an app to make Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel smile more, so I thought I'd do the same with the male Marvel superheroes.
A graduate of the Slade School of Art in London and a deft draftsman, Ms. Brown made drawings of fancy, dour-faced couples straight out of Beckmann, macabre scenes of hell copied from Hieronymus Bosch and images of performers lifted from William Hogarth's "Strolling Actresses Dressing in a Barn" and an old production photo of the "Ring" cycle (operas in this season's lineup).
When he was young he witnessed the political and social upheavals in Belgium, and sympathized with the anarchists and the socialists, but he also identified a lot with his English father, who was well-born and had studied medicine in Germany, as opposed to his rather dour mother, who came from a simple Flemish family and ran a souvenir shop.

But leaving aside the fact that there is no such thing as non-political art — that Ellis's position as a white, gay, wealthy cis man has as much influence on his perspective as Barry Jenkins's perspective as a black straight man has on Moonlight ("dour and downbeat," Ellis opines) — Ellis's ostensible love for style is not evident in the clogged and uninteresting White.
And yet, here we are: Lightning, the dour heroine of 2009's Final Fantasy XIII (pretty good), mostly absent supporting character of that game's 2011 sequel (not entirely bad), and sole protagonist of 2013's XIII trilogy-concluding Lightning Returns (yeah, a bit of a damp squib), is about to be plastered across magazines and dance her way through promotional videos in support of the new range.
It makes a lot of sense that once he is out of the limelight, Fitz leaves Mellie, marries Olivia and they start their life together in Washington D.C.
