Appearing on America's favorite quiz show—the show so staid and reliable that John Oliver quipped at last year's Emmys that it might just be the most permanent fixture on earth—can make female contestants feel that they are running a sexualized gauntlet of unwelcome tweets, emails, and Facebook messages replete with explicit sexual material.

The battle to get attention — and the knowledge that with a national or even global audience in play, even a fraction of the total universe would still be a lot of people — incentivizes a news ethos that has more in common with the UK's fiercely competitive tabloid market than America's staid big-city broadsheets.

The British designer Tom Dixon, whose Ikea collection launches next fall, sought to upend the staid conventions of upholstery by constructing a sofa with an aluminum frame ("taken a bit from the car industry," Dixon told me) that can be customized with various modular parts, and thus formalizes the informal practice of "hacking" Ikea furniture.

The profit-driven portals, several of which are listed on United States stock exchanges, have in recent years expanded their investigative teams to increase readership among China's more than 600 million internet users by scooping the staid state-owned news media on stories about subjects including industrial pollution, tainted milk powder and even police brutality.

The surge of female candidates running for office this year is having an unintended side effect: They are sparking a revolution in the design of campaign yard signs and logos, introducing a new palette of colors and dramatic departures from tradition in what's long been one of the most staid and cautious corners of politics.

The hush of Catholicism was most of what I knew about religion—my dad had a talent for sneaking gospel sounds into hymnody, but the Mass had a staid, stubborn rhythm of its own—and the biggest shock of my first few months immersed in charismatic religion was the wild, unceasing stream of noise.

Young designers are looking to an old-fashioned idea of conservative dress, but rather than blandly accepting it as it is, they're trying to refashion it to make it a testament to modern times and social mores, expressive of the ideals of contemporary society, rather than stuck in the staid conventions of the past.

The crass messages between Stone and Credico jolted the normally staid courtroom setting, while other evidence illustrated the degree to which Stone was in touch with Trump's campaign during the peak of the 20163 election when the Republican provocateur was bragging and winking about WikiLeaks' plans to dump emails that would roil the Clinton campaign.

The whole episode feels incredible quaint now but for a brief moment I was one of the most googled people in the world and every news outlet from the junk to the staid networks used it as an excuse to publish those photos and ask whether this was conduct fitting of a potential member of Congress.

The Favourite is a historical drama that plays with convention, both in story and technique: there are white powdered wigs and gorgeous corseted gowns galore, but also an absolutely batshit dance sequence, and fish-eyed lens shots that make the whole thing feel more like Alice in Wonderland post-"Drink Me" potion than a staid period piece.

The authors, Wang Haiyan of Sun Yat Sen University in the southern city of Guangzhou, and Colin Sparks of Hong Kong Baptist University, recall the rise of powerful provincial newspaper groups, typically anchored by a staid-but-authoritative party paper, for instance Southern Daily in Guangzhou, and commercially driven sister titles, such as Southern Metropolis Daily.

The narrator Nick Jenkins tells about the people who have come in and out of his life over those years, with once tight school chums becoming distant, new friends and lovers made and unmade, and the surprising turns that people take (with once mocked figures becoming successes or staid figures turning out to have kinky sexualities).

As she personally recounts her lineage and place within this legacy, she heightens the emotional urgency of Constitution: The law of the land is not, Schreck would have you understand, a staid document gathering mold on a shelf somewhere; it's a force that fundamentally reaches into our lives, shaping everything from our understanding of ourselves to our interpersonal relationships.

There was the 1999 Watanabe show where fabrics reversed to become waterproof, as demonstrated by an isolated rain shower midrunway; a 2001 show that elevated denim to couture level and prompted a barrage of high-fashion homages (read: copies); a 2006 collection whose endless reiterations of the trench gave new dimensions to a garment considered staid and classic.

On the fourth-floor lobby of the country's busiest movie theater, audiences filing out of "Black Panther" will pass by tables of a zine fair; the staid, checkered carpeting might be filled with dancers grooving to a D.J. Across from the concession stand hawking 44-ounce Cokes, a rival cart will serve craft beer from Heartland Brewery.

There's something for everyone, from the casual party atmosphere of Cold Garden, where beer drinkers and their dogs mingle in a space that looks like a hoarder's dream, to the 80s-throwback vibe of Eighty-Eight, a tribute to the Calgary Winter Olympics, to the more staid Establishment Brewing, which specializes in refined, less crowd-pleasing sours.

All throughout this year, I knew exactly what was going to happen: LG would build up my expectations only to let them down, Sony would announce a groundbreaking phone in winter that would be entirely conventional by the time it was released in the summer, and Samsung would be that little bit too staid and consistent in its ways to capture my passions.

And Wright gives Ben Mendelsohn the chance to prove he can do more than play scumbags, casting him totally against type as King George VI. Darkest Hour threatens, at times, to slip into staid boardroom drama mode – it's a lot of important men talking importantly about important issues – but Wright brings enough of a visual flourish to keep things interesting.

This momentum stemmed from President Kennedy's tragic death and a generation of liberal successes before him, but it also came from the booming energy of a young, optimistic nation, richer and more powerful than it had ever been before, eager and even furious to address issues of reform, justice and opportunity left unresolved during the prosperous but staid years of the Eisenhower administration.

In 1997, at just 27 years old, he was appointed Chief Designer of legacy fashion house Givenchy, right around the same time that the perennially controversial (and now disgraced for his racist remarks) John Galliano took over Dior; in their parallel roles, the two British designers were credited with reinvigorating what was then perceived to be a staid period among French fashion houses.

The corporation of Thomas Edison and the light bulb has focused much of its recent advertising on shedding the public perception of it as a stodgy, staid institution — a dilemma the company self-deprecatingly poked fun at in a recent ad campaign in which a new GE employee struggled to explain why his job was more interesting than his bemused friends and family believed.

This is where business is supposed to shine in America, as stakeholders work out their differences and move toward shared goals, regardless of what's happening in politics, much of which is downright silly, and what's happening in the larger culture, which can become as unpredictable as it was in the 1960s or as staid as it was in the 1950s and to a lesser degree, the 1980s.

Contrasting the principles of two privileged English families — the bohemian, openhearted Schlegels and the staid industrialist Wilcoxes — as their lives overlap with an intellectually curious but impecunious young man, Forster's masterpiece took on the big, divisive issues of the day — class, power, gender — while illuminating commonalities, like the need for love and sex, shelter and a sense of purpose, with moral complexity and tender comedy.

Clubs are far from new in Los Angeles, of course, their long history likely beginning with the "gentlemen-only" California Club, which opened over a livery stable in 1887, followed eight years later with establishment of the staid Jonathan Club, whose headquarters still occupy almost a block of prime real estate in the city's downtown (with another outpost on an unrivaled stretch of beach in Santa Monica).

It's a lovely moment, though it sucks that the Freys are saddled with a staid castle-design crest instead of a bear or a fucking three-headed dragon or something, as well as proof that Game of Thrones might actually be tiring of its own bloodthirsty MO. One person who certainly doesn't shy away from a bit of the old ultra violence is Cersei Lannister.
