Mr Gordon displays, in impressive detail, the transformational changes in America between 1870 and 1970 that brought vast improvements to both life expectancy and the quality of life; people have clean drinking water in their houses, for example, reducing the incidence of disease and the drudgery of clothes washing.

Regardless of whether or not you consider yourself "bad" or "good" with money, there's always a better way to do what you're doing — a way to save money faster and to retire earlier so that you can unshackle yourself from the drudgery of work and get out there and start living.

After all, if we do manage to create machines as smart as or smarter than we are — and, more important, machines that can feel — it's hardly clear that it would be ethical for us to use them to do our bidding, even if they were programmed to enjoy such drudgery.

This visually striking, darkly humorous comedy is perhaps the TV series I've recommended most in 2018, because so few people have heard of it, and because its portrayal of American corporate life as a kind of dystopian drudgery with a cheerful facade, while not precisely new, is nonetheless pretty dead on.

The brick, the bottle, the fist, the fire: Fierce resistance by the oppressed makes for a better story than the drudgery and temporizing of lawmaking and coalition building, and it may seem morally purer than being assisted by people whose work is propelled by their own sense of justice or compassion.

Echoing Anti-Oedipus, the seminal 1972 text by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, while also mindful of the more secretive, expressive forms of communication specific to psychoanalysis, desire presents itself in her work as a conatus everywhere falsified by the logic of capital, and the moralistic imperative of drudgery it presupposes.

That's the week Apple traditionally shows off its new iPhones, by the way... [Nick Statt | The Verge] In its quest to free people from the drudgery of actually eating, Soylent introduced Coffiest, a breakfast-in-a-bottle with the caffeine of a couple cups of coffee and the calories of a Sausage McMuffin.

This will come as no surprise to readers of her previous books, "How to Be a Victorian" and "How to Be a Tudor," or to fans of her rambunctious BBC historical re-enactments, most notably "Tudor Monastery Farm," in which she experienced the full-on drudgery and muck of being a medieval peasant.

CNN fired Lord, saying "Nazi salutes are indefensible" and giving the world a brief respite from his skull-melting drudgery, at least for the few hours before he pops up on Fox News or whatever other cable channel is willing to exchange money for him to again gnash his teeth in front of a camera.

Students would have to be "wearing blinders" not to see that a "goodly number of law school graduates toil (perhaps part time) in drudgery or have less than hugely successful careers," Justice Melvin L. Schweitzer of New York Supreme Court wrote in 2012, dismissing a lawsuit by nine former students against New York Law School.

Certainly that's common enough — but Agolo will need to prove that it can do so as non-destructively and accurately as it claims with a wide variety of data sets, and that this process contributes to the bottom line more than the time-tested method of hiring another intern or grad student to perform the drudgery.

Their first songs were unflashy mood pieces and subtly drawn character sketches that document a kind of liminality—music that feels just like life does when you're stuck between the halcyon days of an extended adolescence and the acceptance of later life's dalliances with drudgery and doldrums, days spent waiting for another big night out to start.

But the interplay between the two characters and their leadership styles is a strong thematic pillar of the season so far, and its success will likely hinge on what the show is able to say about this and whether it can deliver the message without dragging viewers through too much drudgery or falling back on old tricks.

Lucas hails from Bloomington, Indiana, which will be a familiar locale to a certain strain and generation of punk rockers; he left home to pursue music and escape the drudgery of Midwestern darkness, but returned after a few years in the wilderness to find his hometown consumed by an opioid epidemic, an HIV crisis, and a homelessness problem.

If you don't think a literal and psychic break from the grinding drudgery of real life is some sort of indulgent whimsy, then you're probably the exact sort of person who boasts about "never being off ill, not even one day, and I've been here seven years," or is an active poster on the MoneySavingExpert forums.

Washing dishes three times a day may feel like drudgery (it often does to me), but is no more destructive to the creation of art than pointless meetings at the office (often dominated by those without domestic responsibilities) or the effort of trying to figure out another software interface in order to pay a bill or get paid.

Even drudgery—his example is "participating in the garbage removal in our neighborhood on a weekly basis"—could be an element of our freedom if we see it as part of a collective understanding that we are acting in order to reduce, in the aggregate, socially necessary labor time and to increase socially available free time.

Whether one talks about Carter's role in the Camp David Accords of 1979 that brought a long-term peace between Israel and Egypt or Reagan's historic breakthrough with the Soviet Union in 1987 with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, the drudgery and messiness of diplomatic negotiations are the stuff that great presidents are made of.

And not just an escape from current events and the news cycle, or from work and daily drudgery, but an escape from the world of online game culture that threatens to swallow up a title like Tetris Effect and render it irrelevant in mere days or weeks, as is prone to happen to games not featuring firearms or cinematic production values.

What seems at first like an undifferentiated pile of drudgery can, in fact, be divided into three categories: tasks that need doing for the health and hygiene of the garden; tasks that could be done to tidy up the place; and tasks that a more organized, more ambitious and generally better person would do to create a thriving garden next spring.

Also known as Universal Basic Income, this sunny concept holds that a robot-driven economy may someday produce an unlimited bounty of cool stuff while simultaneously releasing us from the drudgery of old-fashioned labor, leaving our government-funded children to enjoy bountiful lives of leisure as interpretive dancers or practitioners of bee-sting therapy, as touted by Gwyneth Paltrow.

Our political expectations have been lowered by the events of the last couple years to the extent that many of us would now vote for a century of well-meaning, middle-of-the-road drudgery, as long as we could avoid some smug, euphemised far-right doctrine borne up on the three pillars of fear, misinformation, and 'Reem memes with a right-wing theme'.

You can understand (and tell him) that a successful run through the chute makes life easier; that work drudgery is not exactly optional for those requiring income; and that he's going to have to negotiate his own strengths and weaknesses to do his job, be it the job of studying or waiting tables or producing art or widgets — and still be sympathetic about his struggles in school.

Speaking of Sam's time in the library, that early montage of his life of drudgery — emptying chamber pots and reshelving books and eating horrible meals — is a highlight of the episode, thanks largely to the clever, enjoyable work from the show's editing team, which both gives a playful rhythm to Sam's time at the Citadel and neatly boils down how horrible most of his waking hours can be.

In the past two years that I've attended the festival, I've consciously reveled in the fact that Sundance is an excuse to get away from the drudgery of my everyday work week and escape to a rarified temporary utopia where the most important thing to worry about is whether breakout indie director X can avoid a sophomore slump or whether the complimentary water bottle in the press bag will suck or rule.

All of these seemingly disparate events point to the same conclusion that Toni Morrison came to more than 40 years ago in a New York Times column called "What a Black Woman Thinks About Women's Lib": True the Black woman did the housework, the drudgery; true, she reared the children, often alone, but she did all of that while occupying a place on the job market, a place her mate could not get or which his pride would not let him accept.
