But while the rest of the Internet will be stuck trying to answer these unknowable quandaries, they'll fail to see the truly troubling aspect of this image: are all those T-shirt's really deserving of being hung up, let alone with such a generous amount of closet space?
|
|
It was one of those rare experiences where you realize you've been looking for this unquantifiable and unknowable thing, and weren't even aware it was missing from your life until you're suddenly face to face with it—like meeting your soulmate or having an orgasm for the first time.

Think of genderqueer people who are confident in their knowledge of their own gender identity as one that simply doesn't fit the boxes of "he" or "she": Calling all of them "they" can make it sound as if someone's gender is unknowable; it's the grammatical equivalent of a shrug.

Although it's been correctly said for decades that the company has room for leading women of different shapes and sizes, the ballets he created feature a number of high-prestige roles usually reserved for long-limbed, lovely, cool and unknowable apparitions whose dancing is on a naturally Titanic scale.

There were five humans in the Oval Office: the president, the secretary of homeland security, the secretary of defense, the ex-senator, and the ex-rockstar, the last of whom had been selected by the guests in advance of official contact according to unknown and perhaps unknowable criteria.

Still, as Winston Churchill once remarked, "The future is unknowable, but the past should give us hope" — the hope that human ingenuity, reason and character can combine to save us from the abyss and keep us on a path, in another phrase of Churchill's, to broad, sunlit uplands.

What makes this book so moving is, in part, Ford's glorious engagement with the unknowable that we, paradoxically, come to memoir for — it's only in fiction, after all, that a writer has the luxury of omniscience, of being the god of the who, how, when, where, what and why.
|
|
The swift shifts should make us cautious about assuming that the landscape of early 2017 can tell us anything too dispositive about how the departing president will be remembered — especially given how much of Obama's policy legacy now depends upon the still-unknowable intentions and capacities of President Trump.

Although Ms. Secor does not always manage to situate such stories within a larger, coherent narrative, her subjects' experiences speak for themselves — and they provide sharp, pinhole windows into a country that for many years has seemed, in her words, like "a black box whose contents were all but unknowable."
|
|
She was and is an unknowable force of Mexicanidad that calls back and forth across visible and invisible borders with the US. She danced between femininity and masculinity, subculture and mass culture, American notoriety and Mexican authenticity, in an image of her own making radical resistance that reverberates in my own.
|
|
This theory is filled with assumptions and unknowable variables, and coming off a Finals in which his team was swept, with an inflexible roster that's unable to make sweeping changes for the better, the "winning" aspect of LeBron's claim would almost surely go unfulfilled for at least one more season.
|
|
This latest treatment, also at the Haymarket, is adapted by the Tony-winner Richard Greenberg ("Take Me Out") in place of Samuel Adamson seven years ago, and has a new creative team, led by the singer and British tabloid darling Pixie Lott as the irrepressible and perhaps unknowable Holly. (Mr.
|

Jaws' famous description of a shark's "cold, dead eyes, like a doll's eyes" in the film's USS Indianapolis monologue (which was based on the real sinking of a US World War II Navy ship and subsequent shark attacks on its sailors) is still a testament to how unknowable they are.
|
|
" Skeptical of the standard narratives of American literature, Mr. Ashbery kept to a personal aesthetic that seems to his admirers, as he once wrote of Mr. O'Hara, "entirely natural and available to the multitude of big and little phenomena which combine to make that unknowable substance that is our experience.
|
|
But I had felt a sort of persistent ache and wonder that pulled me back to a year that I spent in the Peace Corps, wandering in the dust at the foot of sky-high birch trees, terrified and thrilled at the sensation of being unknowable, mysterious to myself, unseen.
|
|
It will serve only to confuse the public and sets a deeply troubling precedent for policy-making at the E.P.A. The red-team approach makes sense in the military and in consumer and technology companies, where assumptions about enemy strategy or a competitor's plans are rooted in unknowable human choices.
|
|
And by not explaining the forces behind Trump's rise — the socio-political trends, the recent behavior of the parties, the interference and hacking from foreign governments — the film does something even more nefarious: it gives off the impression that it was just some unknowable, Trump-ian magic that led to the election results.
|
|
And then today, along with the rest of you, I learned that my precious phone (far superior to the iPhone 8, which is really very bad and stupid) has been leapfrogged by the iPhone X: a divine tool with the miraculous and unknowable ability to scan your face and make the emojis move.
|
|
Offering an explanation — whether it is radical Islam or mental illness or homophobia or gun access — is also a way of trying to comfort ourselves by asserting false clarity over something that is ultimately unknowable: the chain of personal experiences and decisions that led this man to murder 49 people in Orlando.

Written and directed by Aneesh Chaganty in his feature debut, and featuring a fantastic, grief-laden performance from Cho, Searching delivers on what must be one of the nightmares of modern parenting: the idea of your child having a hidden double life on the internet — a life that is both unknown and unknowable.
|
|
"Whether someone would have planted trees anyway, or taken some other action like building a housing development, is ultimately unknowable and something you have to construct," said Peter Miller, a policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council and a board member of the Climate Action Reserve, the country's biggest carbon offset registry.

|
I know nothing about the woman who accused him other than what my friend has told me about her — or about what happened, other than what he has told me — and having not been in the room with them, I must live with the fact that the truth is in some respects unknowable.

There are no relevant historical precedents for the development of a modern industrial economy in a country as large as China, even before considering the unknowable effects of the unprecedented decline in the nation's population of working age, set to shrink by 7% between 2018 and 2030, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit.

There was Nick Parker's Napa Valley mansion nestled on the edge of his sprawling vineyard in The Parent Trap, Erica Jane Barry's pristine, all-white Hamptons beach house in Something's Gotta Give, and Jane Adler's Spanish-style ranch right outside Santa Barbara that she for some unknowable reason wants to remodel in It's Complicated.
|

Soon thereafter, as details from a police investigation and other sources emerged, they also began to suspect that the seemingly ubiquitous but still unknowable Johnson had carefully staged his death in a manner that appeared to have made it the culminating, cleverest, most quizzical episode in a long and hard-to-classify artistic career.

How often do we see, this article included, stories like Drake is King Millennial, Drake is Taylor Swift, Drake is Hillary Clinton, Drake is 'Breaking Bad', and that's because of his ever shifting curation and absorption; an individual made up of so many moving parts that are visible but the person behind it is unknowable.

"The changes are so significant and unknowable that right now it's impossible for a solar customer to look at that equation and have any sense of what they're likely to save on their bill over time," said Matthew Freedman, a lawyer at the Utility Reform Network, which works on behalf of California residential customers.

We are many centuries removed from the cartographers who used the phrase "Hic Svnt Leones" ("Here are lions") to mark where their maps approached the unknowable, or who populated their waters with ichthyocentaurs and sea pigs because it was only sensible that the ocean would hold an aquatic animal to match every terrestrial one.
|
|
Enter, then, Ursa, a California three-piece whose Abyss Between the Stars LP is a damn fine slab of epic doom metal that offers no philosophical musings, no lyrics carved out in razor marks and no grand insight into what it means to be a tiny fleck of humanity hurtling towards the unknowable void.
|

This trend only continues in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a movie where the most significant woman character (Margot Robbie's Sharon Tate) is best understood as a kind of vision of old Hollywood glamour, an occasionally unknowable cipher, and where many of the other women in the story exist largely to be punished.
|
|
Simpson is bemused by this development: "I'm not black, I'm O.J." Whether or not this scene took place is unknowable, but Simpson was certainly no stranger to the sentiment; he uttered the phrase to friends and teammates as early as his running-back days at USC, when he first felt the exceptional force of 19403,000 fans cheering his name.

So with, we don't know what Brexit, or what form of Brexit comes, and it is, sort of, unknowable, so I'm approaching this with a sensible degree of humility, and we will try to be flexible whatever comes, but I can tell you that this bridge between Britain and the EU is becoming more, not less, important.

When Season 3 of The Magicians ended with the memories of nearly every main character's magical lives being wiped to create nonmagical personas (to better protect them from an unknowable Beast who had taken over the body of their friend), there was a lot riding on Season 4 to bring that totally bonkers plotline home to something resembling coherency.
|
|
Yet Mr. Dylan, the person, remains elusive and seemingly unknowable, never quite as accessible as he was in "Dont Look Back" in 1965, when he gave Mr. Pennebaker unrestricted access to follow him to London and beyond, to see him grapple with his burgeoning fame and construct his irascible persona in real time during a frustrating publicity tour.
|
|
By the opaque reasoning of capital punishment, the state of Arkansas grew some unknowable fraction safer last Monday evening, when Jack Jones, a fifty-two-year-old, overweight, hypertensive, diabetic amputee, was strapped to a gurney in the Cummins Unit prison and administered drugs to successively sedate him, impair his breathing, stop his heart, and kill him.

When the subject of a news story denies the story, consumers have a natural reflex to view that story with a little more skepticism; to parse the wording of the denial to see if there's space for both the story and denial to be accurate; or even to shrug it off as an unknowable he said/she said.

With the implications of our current data practices unknown, and with future uses of our data unknowable, data storage must move from being the default procedure to a step that is taken only when it is of demonstrable benefit to the user, with explicit consent and with clear warnings about what the company does and does not know.
|
|
The first image most of us have is the cloud, a presence that is everywhere and nowhere, a trove of data we buy into with our Apple ID. This image is connected to deep-set human beliefs about the unseen and unknowable — call it God, Aura, or Voldemort; we tend to believe something more deeply when we cannot see the mechanism at work.
|
|
It's an intractable disagreement not because the immediate context is unknowable — the whole event was broadcast live — but because Donald Trump has spent his entire three years in national politics saying things that sound racist to a lot of people, and America has spent three years arguing about whether that's the fault of the person speaking those words or the people hearing them.
|
|
There is no credible evidence to date that vaping e-cigarettes causes anywhere close to the harm that is caused by smoking tobacco, but there is evidence that the regulations will likely drive many e-cigarette users back to smoking, and to buy e-cigarette products of unknowable quality and safety from vendors with little care for the consumer's health.

As someone that closely covered the Mario Maker community for years, who has been still writing features about the wild things those players are still up to only weeks ago, I cannot help but look at Mario Maker 2 through that lens, and spend more time wondering about the unknowable future, rather than walking through a checkbox of the game's features.

Shortly after our most recent period of real political chaos — the violence and disorder that marked the 1970s — both governments and citizens essentially ceased trying to shape the world and settled for being able to maintain it; we placed our hopes in vast and unknowable systems of interconnected data and markets and technologies, and we simply worked to keep the gears turning.
|
|
And as tech writer and academic Zeynep Tufekci spelled out on Twitter, the Strava incident is a perfect case study for the implications of such unknowable outcomes, as it highlights a major flaw in thinking about what data our smartphone and wearable apps are collecting only on an individual level: Privacy of data simply cannot be negotiated person by person, especially because there's no meaningful informed consent.

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.

The frustration and stress caused by complex technologies that can seem unknowable — not to mention the time and mindshare that gets wasted trying to make systems work as people want them to work — doesn't tend to get talked about in the slick presentations of tech firms with their laser pointers fixed on the future and their intent locked on winning the game of the next big thing.

It's Tiffany Haddish at her most Woman of the People — of course if you see someone bite Beyoncé, you have to tell the world — and Beyoncé at her most unknowable and untouchable: Once attacked, she tells everyone around her to stand down, and then goes and slips opaque references about what just happened into lyrics she will later drop with no announcement into someone else's song.

The couple met in 2016 on a softball field and were originally set to be married on May 10 at a restaurant in Brooklyn, with 120 guests, dinner and dancing to a D.J. But as New York City quickly became the center of the coronavirus outbreak in the past week, they realized the wedding would likely be postponed until the city returned to normal, an unknowable question.

A New Yorker article on the history of the manuscript describes it as "the perfect canvas on which to project our worries about the difficult and the frightening and the arcane," and the same could be said about AI. In the contemporary media landscape, this diverse and complex group of technologies is often used as a stand-in for fears about automation and unknowable (and uncontrollable) machine intelligence.

At the level of the individual post, it is unknowable to anyone who doesn't work at the company, and maybe not to anyone who works there, either.) When asked whether they understand why certain posts but not others are included in their news feed, around half of U.S. adults who use Facebook (210%) say they do not – with 25% saying they do not understand the feed at all well.

Record sales alone put her above Duran Duran and Black Sabbath, and she's on par with the unlikely trio of Bob Marley, Kiss, and Kenny G. Somehow this quiet, unobtrusive artist, who seems to have insulated themselves from the rigours of the industry, has transformed herself into a powerhouse, whilst remaining mythical, unknowable, distant and barely-there all while selling more records than pretty much anyone else out there.
|
|
We all figured that someone who so resolutely followed the path he cleared for himself, leaving gleaming paradoxes and thundering guitar riffs in his wake, had to be in on some universal secret, some as-yet-unknowable key to finding harmony in discord, illumination in darkness, constancy in chaos, something that, when you put all the craziness together, came close to that truth my fan friend talked about more than 30 years ago.

The sheer depth and availability of data in the digital era supports faster-than-ever evidence-based debunking of official fictions, threatening to erode rogue regimes built on lies by pulling away the curtain that invests their leaders with power in the first place — by implying the scope and range of their capacity and competency is unknowable, and letting other players on the world stage accept such a 'leader' at face value.
|

Every separate bit, every crystal shard, seems to be here—her nature unknowable, dense, dispersed, her atomization a miracle, the earth without her a miracle as if I had arrived on my own with nothing to owe, nothing to grieve, nothing to fear, it would happen with me as it would, not one molecule lost or sent to the Principal or held in a dried-orange-pomander strongbox stuck with the iron-matron maces of the cloves.

Conservatives might not have openly doubted Ford's story — a level of respect we might not have witnessed before #MeToo — but in the end, some of the justifications they offered echoed all the same old clichés that women have spent the past year or more debunking: that social sanctions against someone should be applied only if their accusers meet criminal standards of proof; that sexual assault is always an unknowable matter of he said, she said; that what happened 240 years ago doesn't matter.
|
|
And where the Red Hot Chili Peppers were once an unknowable quantity that melded funk, hip-hop, and hardcore punk with knuckle-headed aplomb, the brotastic band unwittingly predicted a sea change in mainstream rock with 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik, managing to stay so popular for so long that they outlasted—and outlived—contemporaries like Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, and Pearl Jam, to the point that by the time George W. Bush took office they'd become America's de facto answer to U2.

It is very likely that each of these intended responses to FDA's regulations would pose much greater risks to the health of consumers than are being posed by the e-cigarette products that are currently being sold in stores across the US. These unintended consequences — in particular, driving consumers to an underground 'black market' trade in e-cigarette products of dubious manufacturing standards and unknowable toxicity — would both undermine FDA's ability to assess the population health impact of its own rule, and undermine the FDA's stated mission of improving and protecting the health of Americans.

The only other thing Aguirre-Sacasa says about Ben's appearance is that it "suggests a very deep, deep mythology where time and space bends," which could mean that he's playing a long game where the parallel stories of Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina exist in adjacent universes where the life/death states of certain characters are determinant on factors like the existence of witchcraft or other unknowable constants... ...or it could mean that he literally didn't think about it and just thought having Ben show up was cute.

Refugio from Mexico is not Mexico, nor is every man who makes other men small in the convex mirror of his buckle Refugio, who turned his daughter gold in the mirror of his own—the last world unknowable to Refugio—the night he carried her out of Mexico before the war to give her Mexico before the war, before a man named refuge in his native tongue could be hung from an overpass in the sun for something smaller than his buckle: the figures of the men unmade inside it, the thousands vanished in its glass.
