Today, the BBG should be the "tip of the spear" in responding to and countering foreign propaganda but, as Secretary Clinton noted, it is no longer able — or perhaps willing — to fulfill that mission; instead, its dysfunction and foreign policy irrelevance raise questions about whether it can be fixed or should be dissolved.

Smart TVs, always a hot topic at CES, are still a mess of irrelevance since the TV is always secondary to the sticks, dongles, and boxes we connect to them, and creating smarts where it counts (by, say, inventing a TV that knows to turn off the "soap opera effect") remains out of reach.

Burgundy dips into standup tropes (muttering "What else, what else" and pacing during segues, shouting out local sports teams and suburbs at length) and generally just exudes a darker, sadder version of that original Anchorman id: an ageing man just self-aware enough to be terrified of his own ever-growing irrelevance and of how little he understands the world, fighting that fear with self-delusion, non-sequiturs, and yelling.
Ok, so the beardo-weirdo purists out there, in their yellow anoraks and their expensive trainers and their nice sweaters from those menswear shops that sell really high end versions of really basic staples, and their snake-oil tuned stereos and their crippling marijuana habits might object to this, but well, let them drift into a cloud of irrelevance: the best cosmic disco mix ever is Prins Thomas' Cosmo Galactic Prism.

So Sontag responded to a 21993 survey "about intellectuals and their role" with a kind of regal pique: What the word intellectual means to me today is, first of all, conferences and roundtable discussions and symposia in magazines about the role of intellectuals in which well-known intellectuals have agreed to pronounce on the inadequacy, credulity, disgrace, treason, irrelevance, obsolescence, and imminent or already perfected disappearance of the caste to which, as their participation in these events testifies, they belong.

Music, to his role in writing "Father Stretch my Hands," to Push's age and career irrelevance, to Push making money off of him, to questioning his history as a drug dealer: "You might've sold to college kids for Nike and Mercedes / But you act like you sold drugs for Escobar in the 80s / I had a microphone of yours / but then the signature faded / I think that pretty much resembles what's been happening lately.
It is striking to see how Pop the Irregular Polygons and Protractors look today — The Protractors share more than they dare to admit with, for example, the underexposed Pop-abstract paintings of Nicholas Krushenick, especially when compared with the preferred gray of the austere Northern European Analytical Abstractionists of that era (such as Alan Charlton, or the Gerhard Richter of the Gray Paintings) — and how close to they are to Andy Warhol's ideas on the importance of the superficial and the irrelevance of the self.
Even as the right marches steadily toward fascism, and our institutions slide toward collapse, even as the guiding norms that have long governed contemporary politics and policymaking have dissolved into irrelevance, even as it has become obvious to more Democrats than ever that there's no way forward or out but left, many others, and many of those suffering the most, with the most to gain from a radical change in our country's trajectory, have sized up a true alternative to the status quo, a once-in-a-generation figure genuinely railing against the system, and said no.
If you were to choose a location in the developing world in which to witness the challenges facing airline safety — the ossification of regulations and in many places their creeping irrelevance to operations; the corruption of government inspectors; the corruption of political leaders and the press; the pressure on mechanics, dispatchers and flight crews to keep unsafe airplanes in the air; the discouragement, fatigue and low wages of many airline employees; the willingness of bankers and insurers to underwrite bare-bones operations at whatever risk to the public; the cynicism of investors who insist on treating air travel as just another business opportunity; and finally the eagerness of the manufacturers to sell their airplanes to any airline without restraint — you would be hard pressed to find a more significant place than Indonesia.
