But TUFFEST was the first time the self-proclaimed "transevangelist" headlined a festival in the US. It was past 9pm when she started weaving a fragmented tapestry of feral beats, live vocals and keys, and pop cultural references, all nightmarishly contorted and sonically rich.

The awkward positioning of the soldier's arms further disrupts the body's integrity: while the contorted left arm points away from the body — its deformed hand illuminated against a black halo of shattered earth — the right arm, which grips his chest, seems as if it's reaching up from the earth and pulling the body downward into its own grave.

Those included appearances by white supremacists and members of hate groups on shows, hate speech against Muslims and LGBTQ people, threats of violence against special counsel Robert Mueller and perceived members of the "deep state," and harassing survivors of mass shootings Jones has contorted himself into believing were false flag attacks orchestrated to advance a nefarious agenda.

The Beautiful People and its accompanying music video with all its gorgeous grotesqueries is what sweet dreams are NOT made of… The incredibly powerful and frenetic pace of the video with the attenuated and elongated Manson pulled, disfigured and contorted by means of surgical devices, dental apparatuses and other contraptions is absolutely nightmare inducing and an outrageously captivating attraction of repulsion.

In the early 1980s, Linde, Alexei Starobinsky, Alan Guth and other young cosmologists devised the theory of cosmic inflation as a patch for the broken 1930s-era Big Bang theory, which described the universe as expanding outward from a "singularity"—a nonsensical point of infinite density—and couldn't explain why the universe hadn't become mottled and contorted as it grew.

The horn section will chime in for a legato chorus, then snap shut for the harpsichord; the harpsichord ends and a distorted bass scrapes into the bottom of the mix; now here's a contorted, syncopated funk breakdown; tear it down, fall into a ballad; let that decay and open into a Tom & Jerry-style cartoon track, uncanny woodwind and strings for a silent cartoon.

Having just left base camp, the six men stood atop a 40-foot-high wall of ice at the edge of the Arctic Ocean and looked at what lay ahead: stretching over the horizon, an unending moonscape of ice boulders, crevices and pack ice contorted by vast floes whose constant motion created steep pressure ridges and black stretches of open water known as leads.

She both obsesses over The Pickwick Papers—a picaresque novel like her own—and riffs on her dislike of A.S.

"While I disagree with the high court's decision, there is no good faith argument that Alabama's law remains constitutional in light of the Supreme Court ruling," was the state's lawyer's honest appraisal of the situation.) The Fifth Circuit's contorted explanation for why the Supreme Court's "close fact-bound balancing analysis" in Whole Woman's Health wasn't relevant to Louisiana succeeded only in showing that Louisiana women would in fact be worse off than the women in Texas, where most major cities still have at least one abortion clinic (many Texas clinics did not reopen after the Supreme Court's ruling).

But as the news cycle churns on, we have seen Hillary's example play out, again and again and again, an endless film loop of self-debasement masquerading as self-sacrifice: the spurned wife Mary Jo Buttafuoco standing by husband, Joey, at a press conference, her face permanently contorted by his teenage mistress' bullet; Huma Abedin, elegant and imperturbable in pumps and a tailored pencil skirt, stepping out with her husband and their child days after he'd been caught sending lewd pictures to teenage girls in 2013; and, most recently, Camille Cosby, sitting by her husband's side in court, her face fixed in a rictus of what is either permanent defiance or humiliation.
