Kavanaugh does touch on, and dismiss, some of this as follows: [T]he FCC argues (and the panel agreed) that Turner Broadcasting does not apply in this case because many Internet service providers do not actually exercise editorial discretion to favor some content over others… I find that argument mystifying.
This is a story that has remained mystifying, fascinating, and inflammatory since its debut nearly 25 years ago, so if you don't fully understand all of it, you won't be alone, and you will be experiencing it alongside plenty of other people who are also watching it for the first time.
MIAMI — The American government employees in Cuba who suffered mystifying symptoms — dizziness, insomnia, difficulty concentrating — after hearing a strange high-pitched sound all had one thing in common: damage to the part of the inner ear responsible for balance, according to the first doctors to examine them after the episodes.
It sits on a cusp between specificity and extravagance, research and allegory, chronicle and riff, pierced by an acuity of vision that turns our looking-glass political sphere inside-out, exposing its elemental ludicrousness as an instrument of clarity and an artifact of mystifying beauty, because that's what art does.
"It's mystifying that for someone who has put having a plan for everything at the center of her pitch to voters, Senator Warren has decided to release a health care plan only after enduring immense public pressure for refusing to do so," a spokesman for the Biden campaign, T.J. Ducklo, said.
"It's mystifying that for someone who has put having a plan for everything at the center of her pitch to voters, Senator Warren has decided to release a health care plan only after enduring immense public pressure for refusing to do so," said TJ Ducklo, the Biden campaign's national press secretary.
The trio—whose work to date has largely consisted of site-specific, nature-inspired installations—avoid the usual tributes and instead dive into the unknown, using field recordings, spoken word, rare percussion instruments, and Nico's own harmonium to craft a soft but menacing sonic palette that's as mystifying as singer-songwriter herself.
On Wednesday in Nice, in a much edgier 222-25 victory over Norway in Nice, Renard made perhaps the biggest gaffe of the tournament so far: scoring the first own goal of her international career with a mystifying poke with the inside of her right foot that tied the score at 25-1.
If you want to explore life as an android waking up to a mystifying hellscape, you'll either have to buy a compatible Oculus Rift or HTC Vive device, each of which retail for hundreds of dollars (not including the price of a computer to go with it), or else find an arcade.
It's mystifying that Julian CastroJulian CastroJoaquin Castro volunteers to play his brother on 'SNL' Saagar Enjeti warns 2020 Democrats against embracing Hillary Clinton 2020 Democrats seize on Trump, Ukraine transcript: 'This is a smoking gun' MORE of all people was the first person to understand this on a basic level in this race.
Mystifying to all rational observers is the fact that the draft rule will create a situation where any private flood insurance policy that strictly conforms to the rule will be in violation of existing state regulations in all 50 states leaving consumers with only one flood insurance option, the financially compromised NFIP.
And then there are the flat-out misreadings and the uninteresting, mystifying interpretations, those adaptations that veer so far from the source material that you wonder what attracted the filmmakers in the first place: the chance to revisit or flip a classic or just the box-office potential of its fan base?
Elon Musk is more than a bit busy building Model 3s, launching rockets, and saving the world from the AI apocalypse, but that isn't keeping him from digging in to his holy mole-iest venture yet: a mildly mystifying scheme to find a faster, cheaper way of boring tunnels, and using it to destroy traffic.
But for the many of us who don't live in New York City, don't share in its daily aches and pains, and can only admire its mass transit system from afar, the reality that someone would pay to sit in Manhattan traffic rather than take a subway for $2.75 is a bit, well, mystifying.
Having certain types of bodies makes you more likely to die an early and unnecessarily painful death that will be blamed on you before your body is even cold, so I'm not sure why it's so mystifying and dismaying to the world at large that people in those bodies might not think much of themselves.
But even sending Bob off alone and subsequently leaving him to bleed out on the floor pales in comparison to Hopper's other big, mystifying decision this season: sealing Eleven up in a glorified shed for nearly a year, denying her any access to the outside world except a TV, which he then uses as a medium for punishment.
It's also just one of the many often mystifying aerodynamic challenges that neither pilots nor engineers can see but which they can absolutely feel, thanks to the complex forces swirling around clusters of fast-moving blades and all the spindly bits protruding from the fuselage to support motors, generate lift or control, or support landing skids or wheels.
I, at least, am still figuring what to do with the photographs of her backstage in Cleveland on Friday, watching an elated Hillary Clinton beaming up at Jay Z, knowing that his alleged infidelity inspired his wife's most recent work of art, and that Mr. Clinton's indiscretions inspired Beyoncé's biologically mystifying use of "Monica Lewinsky" as a verb.
The battle between Hulk Hogan and Gawker over the site's publication of the wrestling star's sex tapes takes some odd twists and turns: For one, the prosecution dropped some of its charges midway through the case for initially mystifying reasons that turned out to make sense once the participation of tech mogul Peter Thiel came to light.
A legacy of exclusion — from the sexist bottlenecks at Johnny Carson's "Tonight" show and Del Close's improv fief to the slightly mystifying, ad-driven focus on a young male audience for most of the history of Comedy Central — still haunts the comedy scene, not just shrinking the pool of women onstage, but also surely narrowing the audience.

The fact that he was praised by Elvis Presley as the real king of rock 'n' roll, named as chief inspiration by Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon and Neil Young, and hailed as the man who started a cultural revolution deemed so dangerous, in some parts of America, that bottles flew and fights started, was pretty mystifying to him.
For example, that Kim Jong Un had lived in Switzerland as a boy, favors mini skirt-clad female bands, enjoys being seen in public with his wife, and likes to frolic with former National Basketball Association star Dennis Rodman have all fueled mystifying prognostications that Kim is, respectively, a reformer, modern man, family man and secretly signaling Washington for talks.
And on Sunday, Mr. Byrne made the mystifying choice to devote the overwhelming majority of his performance to unheard material from a forthcoming musical he wrote about Joan of Arc, rousing precisely no one (though this refusenik set was a bold stand in the face of the succinct hit parades delivered later by Mr. Rodgers and the Wu-Tang Clan).
At the White House and among Republicans on Capitol Hill, there is a keen awareness that Mr. Trump benefits from extraordinarily low expectations of his ability to stay on message and deliver a coherent speech, given his tendency to ramble off script and insert divisive notes, insulting asides and mystifying non sequiturs that almost always overshadow the topic at hand.
It's a question that kept coming to mind as I read "My War Criminal: Personal Encounters With an Architect of Genocide," Jessica Stern's mystifying account of her conversations with Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader who was convicted in 2016 of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, and is serving a life sentence in prison at The Hague.
Tomasky is especially strong on the economic anxieties of the Democratic voter that propelled Clinton to victory and remained a priority for him during his presidency, which, as Tomasky points out in his epilogue, makes it even more mystifying that Hillary Clinton failed to capitalize on those same anxieties in the 2016 presidential campaign, as Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump did.
Sure — but they probably won't mention the bad stuff that happened long before: the retraction of the broadband privacy rule, the relegation of abuses by broadband providers to the slow-to-act FTC, the endless favors given to telecoms and media companies like Sinclair, the total withdrawal of oversight in practices like zero rating that could easily morph into something worse, the mystifying reticence to address serious issues surrounding the rulemaking.
The result is a film that is as engaging as it is mystifying, a lyrical, impressionistic take on a genre with the emotions left in HD. Anytime a comparatively low budget genre film comes up on the radar, the film world braces itself for a fresh auteur to be crowned prince of the next multimillion dollar franchise film — at one point, Nichols himself had been in talks to director DC's Aquaman.
When we finally headed back to Manhattan, I asked him about the ending of "Writing to Save a Life," a mystifying passage in which he is standing over Till's bleak, half-size grave near Fère-en-Tardenois, France, 75 miles east of Paris, on an ignominious plot of land where all 96 soldiers (83 of them black) who were executed by the U.S. military during World War II are buried.
Over the years, as Vine's audience grew, the site gave way to a new breed of celebrity: The Vine Stars, a crowded cosmos of performers who were often very young and very prolific, and whose ability to land semi-mystifying endorsement deals often earned them the scorn of people over 40 (many of whom muttered the phrase "Vine Star" with the same incredulous aggravation that '80s suburban dads employed to complain about "that rappity music").
Andrew Cuomo's decision to send these police to the subway tunnels in the first place is all the more mystifying given that—as AM New York reported—fare evasion in the subways is a minor affair compared to fare evasion on buses: The revenue lost from the top-five bus routes with the highest fare evasion rates is equal to that of revenue lost from turnstile-hoppers at the top-50 subway stations.
There are certain connotations associated with chumak and makgulli, parallel to the western myth of the suffering male artist, who, tormented by the force of his own creativity and by the paralyzing, incomprehensible absurdities of the world that suppress him, finds, in the sweet oblivion of alcohol (and in the equally mystifying and unfathomable thing called woman) a warm solace, a respite from narcissism and self-pity, a fleeting yet sure-fire corporeal comfort.
And with the president heading this weekend to Singapore, liberal New York Times columnist Nick Kristof says this: "Sadly, Democrats in Congress are responding in a quite Trumpian way: They seem more concerned with undermining him than supporting a peace process with North Korea ... "Trump&aposs newfound pragmatism is infinitely preferable to the threat of nuclear war that used to hang over all of us, so it&aposs mystifying to see Democrats carping about any possible North Korea deal.
But if you just can't resist the occult appeal of a wooden planchette that taunts you from deep within the drawer where you have all those sweaters that you hoped would provide enough of a physical boundary that the Ouija board wouldn't somehow call to you like it does every year, maybe take a deep breath, finish putting on your Halloween makeup, and pick up the Mystifying Mattifying High Definition Microfinish Pressed Powder from Lunatick Cosmetic Labs instead.
Whether it was contestants Chris and Lincoln fighting during a public debate in front of Virginia's governor about how the latter fat-shamed the former behind the Bachelorette's back, or the simpler spectacle of male model Jordan — beloved for the dumb blonde broetry of his mystifying and grammatically innovative Jordanisms — walking across the house in tight gold underwear (as a prelude to unveiling his "deeper" side to Becca), the show's theater of petty masculinities is unlike anything else on television.
