Cavaliers end road trip with win over Rockets HOUSTON — With their season-long, six-game road trip mercifully coming to an end on Friday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers recognized the need for one determined push through the finish line, and they proved willing to deliver whatever effort was required to cap their long jaunt with vigor.
The speech was at turns optimistic and businesslike ("Uniformity in the currency, weights, and measures of the United States is an object of great importance, and will, I am persuaded, be duly attended to"), but most of all it was mercifully short: According to CNN, at around 1,000 words, is thought to have been delivered in just ten minutes.
They don't (mercifully), and it's hard to imagine politics over there bending in that direction, but it could, as the manifestation of "The Glasgow Effect" looks very similar to a lot of what's been plaguing white working class voters in this country: Poverty, a lack of jobs, opioid abuse, drastically decreased health outcomes, and systemic neglect.
Apple, mercifully, is resisting, just as it did the request of Barack Obama's Justice Department to create a loophole in iPhone security — but the fact that both Obama and Trump agreed on the need for breaking iPhone encryption suggests how thoroughly political leaders across a wide spectrum have neglected privacy as a fundamental value worthy of protection.
At one point, something passed across the woods outside like a shudder, and a hush fell over everything, and the boys and the dog all looked at me and their faces were like pale birds taking flight, but my hearing had mercifully shut off whatever had occasioned such swift terror over all creatures of the earth, save me.
Mercifully, the Financial Times ignored that everyone was hunched over but still delivered credulous reporting that this "war room" was doing something useful: Facebook has assembled a team in Dublin to monitor for misinformation ahead of European Parliament elections in May, gathering 40 people at its European headquarters to fight against any attempt to manipulate the outcome of the vote through its apps.
The current (and mercifully normal) acting head of the FDA, Ned Sharpless, has pledged to not stray far from Gottlieb's vision for the agency, promising to "continue our important and successful work to increase competition and reign in prescription drug costs through advances in our generic drug and biosimilars programs," in a speech to staffers this April, according to Endpoints News.
This doesn't mean we should completely abandon the other aspects of what fall TV season used to stand for — and, indeed, we here at Vox are going to be running weekly programming guides for you to make sense of the giant glut of new shows coming at you between now and Thanksgiving (when that glut mercifully calms down a bit).
Season 2 mercifully breaks ranks as it brings back Clémence Poésy as the French detective Elise Wasserman and Stephen Dillane as her British counterpart, Karl Roebuck, to investigate the abduction of a French couple from their car on the Eurotunnel Shuttle below and a plane crash into the Channel above, with plenty of clues to sift through, but no survivors.
Republicans will argue all at once that the president is not tearing immigrant children from their parents, that he is doing it but it's necessary to deter future immigrants, that the children aren't really the children of those who are bringing them but rather coached to pretend they are by smugglers, and that Obama did the same thing and now Donald Trump has mercifully ended the practice.
I once tracked down Bob's booking agent and said I represented a 'wealthy consortium of indie rock fanatics' who were willing to match any price Bob might put on for a return visit to Australia (following their only 2000 tour) The agent replied, mercifully (certainly not believing my pitch) and was friendly enough to offer the devastating news that Guided By Voices would certainly never tour outside of the US again.
The new six-part Netflix miniseries — with each part mercifully clocking in right around 45 minutes, a remnant of the project's status as a co-production with Canada's CBC — adapts one of author Margaret Atwood's most interior novels, which interrogates the motives and drives behind the very real Grace Marks, a servant convicted of conspiring to murder her employer and his housekeeper in 1843 Upper Canada (what is now southern Ontario).
When: March 4–6 / Friday, Saturday: noon–7pm; Sunday: noon–6pm ($25) Where: Spring Studios (50 Varick Street, Tribeca, Manhattan) The big news for this year's edition of Independent, the fair that mercifully doesn't subscribe to the rows-of-booths format and usually feels like a Chelsea gallery stroll condensed into one building, is the change of location: from the former Dia Art Foundation building to Tribeca's Spring Studios.
I was driving the $225,275 version — the Taycan Turbo — on a mercifully empty stretch of winding mountain road in the Angeles National Forest, just a few dozen miles east of downtown LA. As part of Porsche's post-reveal roadshow for the car, the automaker made a handful of pre-production Taycans available to drive and charted out a five-hour course for journalists to drive outside the city.
Still, little is immediately intuitive—a fact reinforced by a standalone controls tutorial video shown to press at the London preview event I attended—and I found myself keeping my thumb firmly on the "hold" button more often than not simply because I didn't know when I was safe from falling, riding atop Trico or hanging from a rocky ledge, and when I was liable to fall to a (mercifully swift) restart.
Hologram USA, which finally opened in November of last year after over a year of delays, currently features two shows that play at alternating 30 minute intervals: the aforementioned Billie Holiday: Alive in Hollywood, and Ray J and Kato's Sexy Hollywood Freakshow, a mercifully brief yet interminably long-feeling combination of sideshow performance and burlesque hosted by a man best known for fucking Kim Kardashian and a man best known for staying in O.J. Simpson's house one time.
To walk into DaDong's first international location, steps from Times Square, is a daunting experience, not only because of the formidably tall wooden doors (which are mercifully opened by a well-groomed young man who has been hired to do exactly that) but because, once you've entered, the dim lighting, the basalt walls, and the polite reservationist hovering over a rock-shaped desk make you wonder whether you've signed up for dinner or a corporate interview.
While just under 52% of British voters opted for Brexit, the fact is the majority of the electorate will vote for parties that are ultimately committed to leaving the EU. Die-hard Remainers are now, mercifully, a minority in the UK. Despite the absence of large-scale political and public opposition to Brexit in the UK, some European and global political and media elites continue to sneer at the move to leave the EU and portray it as a narrowly nationalist, bigotedly isolationist and unthinkingly populist phenomenon.
In one captivating scene, Monet Mazur engages in a head-to-head motorcycle battle with her apparent rival, their very normal bike fight occurring conspicuously close to an oversized Mountain Dew logo and set to the overdriven industrial metal grind of Static-X's "Push It." Later, as the movie mercifully wraps, marginal good having triumphed over outright bad, the familiar strums and drums of Nickelback's "Someday" fade in on a celebratory smooch between Henderson and Mazur, cutting ahead to the totally epic chorus in time for a good old fashioned group bike ride off into the desert or heartland or whatever.
In "23 22 21 1," which is more of a New York novel despite the predictable metafictional twist at the end, his sentences come tumbling out in multiple clauses, mimicking the breathless rumination of his earnest, callow, fairly humorless and slightly stuffy protagonists: The fundamental quest both before and after his new life began had always been a spiritual one, the dream of an enduring connection, a reciprocal love between compatible souls, souls endowed with bodies, of course, mercifully endowed with bodies, but the soul came first, would always come first, and in spite of his flirtations with Carol, Jane, Nancy, Susan, Mimi, Linda, and Connie, he soon learned that none of these girls possessed the soul he was looking for, and one by one he had lost interest in them and allowed them to disappear from his heart.
