" Norman Mailer, in Vanity Fair: "What a deranging work!

Ross Douthat Opinion Columnist For all its deranging effects, I am always grateful to Twitter for the interesting ideas it surfaces.

Think of those deranging modernist masterpieces — Djuna Barnes's "Nightwood" or Jane Bowles's "Two Serious Ladies" — their dream logic and dark, nagging charisma.

Without asking for something in return, Trump has initiated an ongoing destabilization of domestic and foreign policies to the point where he is deranging NATO.

Of all the many deranging spectacles in our national politics this year, one of the most flummoxing is the ready evangelical embrace of GOP nominee Donald Trump.
|
|
The unlikely saga of "Judeo-Christian" appropriation sheds considerable light on how the meaning of an already invented tradition can be effectively reversed under the deranging pressures of culture warfare.
|
|
The political and economic choice to allocate so many of our society's resources to endless, expanding war-making, to armed cops and barbaric prisons, has a deranging influence on our cultural life.
|
|
As a result of all these deranging forces on the Trumpian right, the future of conservative institutions that try to bypass (let alone eclipse) the alliance between mob and elite is doubtful.

|
It isn't the only American state with deranging humidity levels and primordial swamps populated by giant predatory reptiles, but of all 50 states Florida arguably does the best impression of a fever dream.

The idea behind this outré behavior was that "deranging the senses" doesn't simply mean sitting at your desk having especially unusual thoughts; it means actively surrendering to your own unconscious and often unconventional desires.

Such inaction merely encourages Moscow to believe it has nothing to fear by continuing what is, after all a relatively cheap way of war that can only be traced back to it with difficulty and that yields immense returns in deranging U.S. and European politics.

The Trump era is crazy, but not as crazy as I feared: The Antifa types and Proud Boys are more performative than revolutionary, college campuses are hothouses but not actually in flames, the internet is deranging us but perhaps also encouraging us to express derangement with tweets rather than bullets.

But "Part 8" of Twin Peaks: The Return proved not so easily digestible — surging with wordless, experimental imagery, intimations of cosmological enigmas, and a disturbing boldness, the then newest entry into David Lynch and Mark Frost's beloved series was immediately hailed for raising — or least deranging — TV's bar, the peakiest of all.

It turns us into our worst selves — dehumanizing us, deranging us, keying us up, beating us down, turning us into shrieking outrage monkeys hellbent on the innocents of Oz. It uncomplicates complicated discussion; stealth-curates our news; hijacks our dopamine systems, carrying us off on a devil's quest for ever more dime bags of retweets and likes.

Grime on the windows, piles of garbage on the sidewalks, and scarred walls of dilapidated buildings compose the settings for Lisa's search for food and shelter, and also for her confrontations with the cold power of the police, with the relentless and inescapable violence of the streets, and, above all, with the deranging, identity-rending ravages of physical and emotional trauma.

The title story of "Nona's Room" is slightly reminiscent of a couple of Matheson's twisty, deranging first-person narratives, "Born of Man and Woman" and "Dress of White Silk," and one of her tales ("Chatting to Old Ladies") has a kind of monster in it, but Fernández Cubas is, I think, more an artist of the uncanny than of horror per se.

But he is the president, which lends him a unique deranging influence, and he is unique as well in that unlike most culture warriors — who are usually initially idealists, however corrupted they may ultimately become — he has never cared about anything higher or nobler than himself, and so he's never happier than when the entire country seems to be having a culture war about, well, Donald Trump.

Nonetheless, the Mayanist knew the limitations of archaeological research. One of Thompson's later articles Estimates of Maya Population: Deranging Factors is an attempt to identify deranging factors for population estimates of the ancient Maya. Determining population sizes is still an issue that plagues archaeologists (214). He draws attention to the ancient Maya tendency to "abandon" a hut after the death of its owner which may invariably skew population estimates.

The eardrum then bursts outwards, causing the same hazards as with an ordinary burst eardrum, such as cold water in the middle ear deranging the working of the sense organs of balance in the inner ear.

The result is The Pandit and the Englishman, a film that mirrors the vocabulary of Abani's life, hinting at the dangers of pretence and turning away, the virtues of lying and self-deception, the deranging allure of fame and impossible affections. Afterwards, Abani writes a long letter, in which he tells his story. The Bioscope Man is that story.

Electrolyte and volume homeostasis is a complex mechanism that balances the body's requirements for blood pressure and the main electrolytes sodium and potassium. In general, electrolyte regulation precedes volume regulation. When the volume is severely depleted, however, the body will retain water at the expense of deranging electrolyte levels. The regulation of urine production occurs in the hypothalamus, which produces ADH in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei.

But terror > still obtains when our long lease On life ends at last. Body and soul, Which > fused together should make up one whole, Suffer deprived as they are > wrenched apart. O God of love and power, hold still my heart When death, > that ancient awful fact appears; Preserve my mind from all deranging fears, > And let me offer up my reason free And where I thought, there see Thee > perfectly.Mind and Blood: The Collected Poems of John Finlay.

In New Teen Titans #45 (June 1988), Victoria and Chris' history after the end of their series is revealed. After the two teens graduated from high school, they found they had gained the ability to transform without the dials — apparently because of their extensive use — but as a side-effect Vicki began experiencing mental problems. Vicki later joined a cult called the Children of the Sun, where she was physically and mentally abused, deranging her even more. She sought out her former partner Chris in order to kill him.

However, there may be potential for the NTI-TSS device to act as a Dahl appliance, holding the posterior teeth out of occlusion and leading to their over-eruption, deranging the occlusion (i.e. it may cause the teeth to move position). This is far more likely if the appliance is worn for excessive periods of time, which is why NTI type appliances are designed for night time use only, and ongoing follow-ups are recommended. A mandibular advancement device (normally used for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea) may reduce sleep bruxism, although its use may be associated with discomfort.

Quinn refers to many events that show distress among the modern-day youth of our culture, including school shootings and rises in teenager suicides. He believes this points to signs that young people feel they have no place in our deranging society and that our culture provides no strong sense of belonging or of hope toward improvement. Essentially, Quinn argues, our culture must provide an alternate story to the self-destructive one it is currently playing out. He says that this alternate story is also to him the most beautiful one ever told: "There is no one right way for people to live".

Richard Bleiler (New York, NY: Charles Scribner's Sons, 2003), pages 449. John Clute describes Ryhope wood in Lavondyss as a "metamorphic terrain of daunting rigor, an excremental sign-saturated inscape charged with twisting energy." He goes on to call the final chapters "superbly deranging and intense", concluding that "Lavondyss begins to seem like a thing in itself, inexplicable and gravid." Mythago Wood and Lavondyss have been described as being significant because they are pure fantasy works that take place in an innovative, yet startlingly ordinary realm. Holdstock’s writing in these works has been described as an impressive mixture of poetic style and sensitivity.

Abarno and Carbone's legal defense revolved around La Salute è in voi and their right to read any books of any kind, including bomb-making handbooks. After their arrests and before receiving lawyers, Abarno told the press that he had learned bombmaking from Carbone's handbook, and Carbone asserted in broken English that he didn't know the handbook's contents upon purchasing it. After Abarno credited the handbook with deranging him, in appeal for clemency during arraignment, the prosecution used seditious books to show the anarchists' intents. A chemist testified that the explosive's power did not exceed that of a firework.

In the first practice session, held in relatively cold weather, Piquet set the fastest time of 1 minute, 36.134 seconds lap, followed by Bird, Mitch Evans (Jaguar), Vergne, Buemi, Lotterer, Rosenqvist, Jérôme d'Ambrosio (Dragon), di Grassi and Alex Lynn (Virgin). During the session, several drivers were caught out by the track and some including Lotterer ventured onto its run-off areas as they learnt the limits of the track and finding a rhythm they liked. José María López (Dragon) glanced the turn five barrier and damaged his car's rear-right corner. Lynn ended the session five minutes prematurely with a slide at a 45-degree angle into the turn one barrier, deranging his front-left suspension.

The police used the handbook to profile anarchist attackers, and historians used the handbook as proof of Galleanist responsibility for crimes. La Salute è in voi had a low profile for the nine years prior to the 1915 Bresci Circle failed bombing of New York City's St. Patrick's Cathedral. Though the handbook was never mentioned by name, it figured prominently in the prosecution of the Bresci Circle members, where the prosecution used it to vilify the defendants despite no proof of its connection to the crime. (Though during and prior to arraignment one of the anarchists had credited the handbook with deranging him, the failed bomb components approximated that of a firework, not of one of the handbook's design.) The police insinuated possession of the handbook as evidence of the defendants' technical expertise and bad intentions, and La Salute è in voi was the most sensational of the prosecution's seditious books used to show the anarchists' intents.

Believe (levitation in the studio) (2002), features a magician performing a levitation, in a clear allusion to Bruce Nauman's 1966 photograph, Failing to Levitate in the Studio; Untitled (vulture in the studio) (2002), in which he sets loose a vulture inside the studio and films the animal deranging it;Tavares, Gonçalo M. (September 9, 2018). "Premiado escritor Gonçalo Tavares fala sobre abutre em texto inédito". Folha de S.Paulo. Catriona Shaw sings Baldessari sing LeWitt re-edit Like a Virgin extended version (2003), a mashup of three cultural references – John Baldessari's video performance Baldessari Sings LeWitt (1972), Sol LeWitt's Sentences on Conceptual Art (1968), and Madonna's tune "Like a virgin" (1984) – in the form of a delegated performance starring the singer Catriona Shaw, and in 2004, Leap into the street (boombox travelling), which marks the passage from the studio to the public domain, through a tautology, as a boombox falls from a shelf into the street through the studio window crashing into a tree, driven by the rhythm and basses of Joy Division's 1979's theme "She's Lost Control".
