|
It's that the extent of the team's troubles was so maddeningly hard to parse; beyond the fact that Howard Megdal's reporting was almost always right and the front office's official line on things like payroll flexibility was always, always unconvincing, it was tough to know what to believe.
|
|

|

After Garrett and Luke hash things out in a maddeningly annoying conversation following the group date (at one point, Luke likens what he's doing to driving a truck and seeing Hannah in a car with Garrett, which is totally not "staying in one's lane"), Hannah takes matters into her own hands, coming to see the guys, and Luke specifically.
|
|
On Gods of Violence, "Army Of Storms" rivals most power metal bands with its maddeningly uplifting chorus; bagpipes spatter "Hail to The Hordes," but it's not like they've just thrown things at a wall to see what sticks; "Death Becomes My Light" has Petrozza doing his now once-an-album balladeering, but that remains the album's sole question mark.
|
|
In the midst of the whole 808s frenzy (for those complaining about the Life of Pablo rollout, Kanye has never been one to shy away from maddeningly overextended hype cycles), another Lil Wayne leak quietly surfaced on the rap blogs, soon to be swept away into the category of minor Wayne leaks to which nobody paid attention.
|
|
Skateboarding has become popular enough in America to get the X Games on ESPN and to launch Tony Hawk to the heights of video game franchise meta-fame, but the essence of the sport is still one that encourages weirdness and creativity, and which is grounded in the individual (and maddeningly repetitive) work of nailing one trick or another.
|
|

|
|
As a result, Nicolette is a maddeningly obscure narrator, a woman who behaves oddly, and each of the novel's early chapters offers only the slenderest of clues as to the next chapter's (the previous day's) equally obscure version of its protagonist: A lost ring appears, a bartender's hostility suddenly seems reasonable, the smell of paint fumes begins to make sense.
|
|
Enter Repair Revolution, a small auto repair shop in Seattle's industrial district that is a beacon of hope amidst the maddeningly macho auto industry: It's run and staffed by women, queer people, trans people, and allies, and its mission is to offer those same populations an alternative to traditional auto repair shops, where they are all too often taken for a ride.
|

With the usual exceptions—Senator Bernie Sanders in a series of live-streamed online addresses, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on social media, Representatives Maxine Waters and Rashida Tlaib in actual proposed legislation—every Democratic voice raised during a maddeningly unproductive week seemed to caution against trying too hard, while attaching a PowerPoint slide to the cautionary message for good measure.
|
|
Name Withheld Within feminism, there is what one scholar has called a "maddeningly deadlocked debate" concerning sexual imagery and sexual subordination; you see this in the arguments over "Fifty Shades of Grey," which some find to be liberatory and empowering of women and others find to be oppressive and glamorizing of abuse (and still others find to be just plain dull).
|
|
She excels at tossing extraneous details and bits of plot detritus at her reader and making it feel almost possible to organize them all into a coherent solution, and the result is maddeningly entertaining: It feels as though you should have everything you need to know exactly whodunnit and why, but you can never quite put the pieces together the way that Strike and Robin can.
|
|
Some tumbled into the Stack spine in, rendering them wholly unknowable, while others fell victim to low resolution, including a few that are maddeningly familiar: an Oxford Anthology whose navy binding and gold stamp I recognize but whose spine is too blurry to read; a book that is unmistakably a Penguin Classic, but that hardly narrows it down; an Idiot's Guide to I don't know what.

|
But somewhere around the three-minute mark, the syncopation gets out of control, singer Andy Partridge drops his vocal so low it sounds like half-heard murmurings down an endless corridor, in a sanitarium wired with faulty electrics, (or could those be the voices in your head?), meanwhile the song's mathy tendencies and slight psych lean cycle maddeningly on and on and on and on.
|
|
Pick: Rams Line: Steelers by 43 The Jaguars (2-2) have been maddeningly inconsistent, but a pattern has emerged in the form of having the best pass defense and the worst run defense in the N.F.L.

|
|
From her earliest collection, which attempted to emulate refinery smoke in voluminous shoulder and skirt pieces of raveled metal mesh, to the maddeningly intricate leather detailing of her 2010 Synesthesia collection, to the playful splash of her "water dress" — featuring a frozen halo of water handcrafted out of transparent PETG — van Herpen demonstrates a fascination with natural and unnatural phenomena, and a desire to translate these elements quite literally to fashion.
|
|
Johns' "Crosshatch" paintings may be the most resolutely abstract work of his career (and such prize canvases as "Cicada," 1979, and "Corpse and Mirror II," 1974-2003, are included in the show), but after ten years of working exclusively in that mode (that is, in paintings — prints and drawings were a different case), the abstractness of the "Clock and Bed" pictures comes apart in a way that opens the door to the artist's richly varied and sometimes maddeningly elusive middle and late works.
|

Our national pastime couldn't be more appropriately represented now than by a nationally loathed, orange-clad team that conned its way to a throne; than by an arrogant franchise that, in addition to the cheating scandal, fostered a hostile, misogynistic, media-taunting culture in which the Astros felt they were above the law; than by a squad that, though widely reviled by a majority of fans as unworthy of a title, is maddeningly predicted by pundits to strongly compete for another this year.
