How voters decide what to make of this contrast — a candidate who seems bored by parliamentary tedium and loves the roar of his own crowds, and a candidate who thrives in the back rooms of Washington and in one-on-one settings with voters but struggles to excite the masses — could determine who wins the Democratic nomination.

In 2923, 17.4 million voters, or 52%, backed Brexit while 16.1 million, or 48%, backed staying in the EU. Some opinion polls have shown a slight shift in favour of remaining in the EU, but there has yet to be a decisive change in attitudes and many voters say they have become increasingly bored by Brexit.

Every report from inside the White House conveys the impression that Trump is like a temperamental child, bored by details and easily frustrated when things don't go his way; being an effective staffer seems to involve finding ways to make him feel good and take his mind off news that he feels makes him look bad.

It probably would be good for our health if we were more intentional about how we spend our limited free time, using it as a chance to practice things that modern life has made us extra uncomfortable with — like being alone or being bored — by offering us ubiquitous, immediate escapes in the form of digital devices.

Unpopular at home in New York, where his approval rating is 43 percent, his worst showing since January 2017, and apparently bored by the chore of running one of the greatest cities in the world, Mr. de Blasio seems ready to succumb to the temptation that has lured so many other men in his position: a run for president.

The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX was speaking recently at the International Space Station Research & Development conference in Washington, D.C. (a conference at which I'm probably not even smart enough to work the coat check room), and had this to say about why students are so bored by math: You just sort of get dumped into math.

I'm bored by the repetition of day-to-day life So I rarely feel like Each day is a gift Now I know I can't explain how it feels to believe that To be normal Makes me feel like all I want is The unexpected Then my world turned upside down After a pause, the actress read the poem again, this time starting with the last line, reading from the bottom up: Then my world turned upside down The unexpected Makes me feel like all I want is To be normal I can't explain how it feels to believe that I know Now Each day is a gift So I rarely feel like I'm bored by the repetition of day-to-day life The audience gasped as the reading ended, then we applauded loudly.

As the institutions of journalism gear up for another presidential campaign, we face an audience that isn't just bored by tactical, amoral, insidery, and mostly male-dominated political reporting: Americans of all political stripes now actually hate it, and the sports metaphors that used to be a great way to go viral are now the quickest path to a Twitter ratio.

Sohonie, a New York based crate digger, compiler, and aural ethnographer, has spent much of his working life collating incredibly obscure records from relatively obscure outposts around the globe, creating albums that are as much richly diverse encapsulations of periods in time as they are source material for DJs bored by the rigidity of the music that's usually played out in Western clubs.

He refused to resolve his conflicts of interests, and he passed legislation that helped his businesses; he clashed repeatedly with the judiciary; he was easily bored by details and long meetings; and he kept telling jokes about women and homosexuals; and he held what many described as lascivious (the precise term was "bunga bunga") parties at the prime minister's residence.

But in fact, if you're a fan of any of the many other vast and endless elements of "geek culture" — tabletop and video gaming, genre literature, anime/manga, overseas pop culture, horror, animation, and science, just to name a few — who has no interest in Hall H celebrities but isn't all that into comics, you might find yourself a bit bored by just how comics-centric SDCC still is.

Anyway.) For the broke, disinterested, bored by everything in chain stores, people with more time and/or creativity than money, people who want to give everybody presents but hate the fuckin' system, people who want to display more meaning than money can buy, who want to try something new this year, who'd like to make it through the holidays without mountains of debt (time or money), whatever your reason may be—maybe try some of the below.

In such a telling, Holbrooke could be seen as an erratic gardener of NATO, flying around to its members, and plucking out grievances—as he did in one of his more surefire successes, when in the mid-1990s Turkey and Greece threatened each other with military action, and he helped calm the waters—but more often just getting bored by intractable conflicts, as he did with Cyprus in the late '90s and with the now-solved Macedonia-Greece name dispute, a bit of NATO-friendly bricolage in Russia's backyard, which the masterminds in the Kremlin were unable to derail.
