ANKARA, Turkey — It is dismaying that Turkey's military operation in northeastern Syria is being spun in the American news media as an attack on Kurds, as weakening the fight against the remnants of Daesh (or the so-called Islamic State) and hurting America's credibility with its allies.
As dismaying as the appointment of someone with no relevant experience to HUD is, a new book shows that it may not be bad news for poor black people that Black Lives Matter's approach to uplift won't be getting much of a hearing in the near future.
If you've been out of the labor force for more than six months, your income doesn't change in month seven, but your propensity, your vulnerability to all the sorts of dismaying social indicators we were talking about, just start skyrocketing, and we see the opioid numbers.
Maybe it's different for the 0.1 percent at the top of the pyramid (you with your shining eye on the back of the dollar bill), but for most of us the world is a confusing, complicated, mind-numbing place over which we feel a dismaying lack of control.
I suppose it is a reflection of the amount of that interest, but it is dismaying to see The New York Times, of all papers, devoting pages (let alone a major editorial!) to the coverage of these piffling nonentities living in the most expensive social housing in history.
It was dismaying because it flew in the face of widespread public support for environmental protection — including the pleas of the executives of hundreds of major American corporations who fear that without energy innovation their costs will rise and their competitive edge over foreign companies will be lost.
Rather more dismaying -- and surprising for people whose only knowledge of aid work comes from golden-hued industry marketing -- is the sheer toxicity of the work environment in many NGOs: the bullying, the exploitation of local workers, the arrogant mistreatment of the people the organizations are supposed to be helping.
To return to Mr. Robot, the most dismaying thing about how easily the season two twist was guessed was that the discussion became entirely about how poorly the twist had been hidden from the audience, with very little conversation around how Esmail intended the reveal as a way to explore Elliot's relationship with the audience.
To learn, for instance, that the Anglo-Dutch giant Unilever, one of the world's largest consumer-goods companies, had by the 1990s achieved control of a third of the world tea trade is dismaying to those who unfashionably recall with affection the imperial planter life of Assam and Ceylon and the hills of Kenya.
Having certain types of bodies makes you more likely to die an early and unnecessarily painful death that will be blamed on you before your body is even cold, so I'm not sure why it's so mystifying and dismaying to the world at large that people in those bodies might not think much of themselves.
With lines like "searching for a boy in high school is as useless as searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie," it's surprising and a little bit dismaying that Heckerling, a dialogist of the highest order, is not more readily mentioned in the same breath as filmmakers like Whit Stillman or Noah Baumbach.
"The situation is so dire that the Anti-Defamation League has created, for the first time, a task force to evaluate the problem, develop recommendations and spark public conversation about this dismaying trend," it said, noting that two Forward columnists who are on the task force have been attacked personally for their criticisms of Trump's policies.
Americans know well the dismaying case of a medicine like sofosbuvir (trade name Sovaldi), a cure for Hepatitis C, that cost about $43 to produce yet was originally sold for $24,24 per pill, with the monopoly power of patents and the protection of an absurd law that blocks the government from negotiating prices with the private pharmaceutical industry.
Another particularly dismaying sequence shows scenes from a series of US experiments in which unbearably cute dogs, monkeys, pigs, and doves are put into cages and pens within the blast radius of nuclear tests, like a kind of Noah's Ark of Horrors as part of a number of experiments to study the effect of radiation on flesh and blood.
Mr. Robbins, who was named a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2016 for a series of stories on prison violence that was published in The New York Times and now teaches at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism, said news of the layoffs was dismaying, especially coming right after word of the print edition's impending demise.
And for reasons that make no cosmic sense, a few of those men — Prince, David Bowie, Prince Be of P.M. Dawn, and now Mr. Michael — died in 2016, a year in which dismaying ambivalence about aggressive, invasive male behavior was matched by the reinstatement of duller performances of masculinity in both our pop music and our politics.
The service was friendly and engaging but also a bit lackadaisical: Entrees and desserts arrived before plates from previous courses had been cleared, and used glassware remained on a table next to ours long after the patrons had left (and as our waitress ate at another nearby table, which was either charming or dismaying, depending on your point of view).
It's both interesting and dismaying that a career regulator would hold such a view without a formal study of the evidence — which he couldn't have done because TMM has yet to file a proposal for its mine, which by law would lay out exactly what the company plans to do, including its strategy for preventing the kind of environmental damage Mr. Dombeck fears.
"For those of us that work in this space, seeing the rates of emissions accelerate is deeply dismaying, and it confirms the very clear lack of systemic action and change that we're seeing across many lines of state, national and global organization," said Sarah E. Myhre, a research associate at the University of Washington who was not involved in the studies.
But when they finally arrived in Nogales about two weeks ago and made their way to the fortified crossing where they planned to submit their request for asylum, the family's quest for safe haven was turned upside down by a dismaying new turn on the Mexican border, as the numbers of asylum seekers surge once again: They would have to wait.
Having been a professor at U.S. military colleges for 27 years and hearing so much about educating officers in Prussian General Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz's dictum that war is the continuation of politics and policy; I find it dismaying to see that Trump and apparently key members of his policymaking team embraced an approach that is guaranteed to fail.
His take on the city of Calais in its role as unwilling receptionist to the 8,000 or so migrants who clustered there at the entrance to the Chunnel — on the camps set up to deal with them, the impassioned reactions to them by local citizens, and the migrants' abrupt, ruthless dispersal by the state — is as balanced as it is dismaying.
Even if Embiid and Simmons someday lead the 76ers to glory, those tanking seasons are lost forever, and the fans forced to sit through a 10-22010 season in 22014-22016 will always have the dismaying memories of a team that often played hard on the court but was continually undercut by an intentionally woeful performance by its front office.
One of the things that I find personally a little dismaying is in all of our talk about politics and tech and the next election and what do we do, we don't spend enough time talking about the fact that the suicide rate is skyrocketing, and the opioid crisis, and all of the ways that I think we as a society have neglected ourselves.
Whenever I asked Siri how exactly his technology would affect something like the emergence of Donald Trump in US politics or the authoritarianism of President Maduro in Venezuela or, in perhaps the most formidably dismaying scenario, the total power of the Chinese Communist Party, Siri would change the grounds of discussion away from the political exigencies of the moment and toward the contemplation of more ethereal, long-range goals.
To a dismaying extent, outlined brilliantly by Shelby Steele as early as 1990 and even truer today, the relationship between black people and educated America is after all a ritualized dance of ready reaction that pretends it is political activism: White people show their guilt; thoughtful black people excoriate those that don't as moral reprobates; white fellow travelers earnestly support them in this, hoping that they won't be next in the line of fire.
"Let me just say how very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rails yesterday and today," Speaker Nancy PelosiNancy PelosiJohnson eyes Irish border in Brexit negotiations Mueller report fades from political conversation Five key players in Trump's trade battles MORE (D-Calif.) told reporters as she kicked off House Democrats' annual "issues" retreat at a golf resort 85033 miles northwest of Washington.
One of the most dismaying aspects of President TrumpDonald John TrumpFacebook releases audit on conservative bias claims Harry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Recessions happen when presidents overlook key problems MORE's speech on Saturday was that he showed total disregard for the federal workers and contractors who are not getting paid even though some of them are required to work, others are not able to go to work and some are neither working nor will ever get paid for the time lost.
Memoir is not journalism, but since the mode of this book is one of intimate observation, the use of composite characters feels a little dismaying; if you read that author's note and then follow along as Gaffney draws characters like Tony, Randy, Eliza and Joey with tremendous sensitivity and sympathy, it brings you up short to realize that in fact there may be no Joey, the defeated young man who forms a bond with the wounded horse, Luna, after she watches him rescue a litter of feral kittens.
