Titled "Donald Trump and Jimmy Fallon Are Best Friends," the video uses zooms and slow-motion to isolate the host's manic pandering, the guest's glib cynicism, and the audience's easy appeasement; the whole thing ends with a montage of Fallon being joke-slapped by his own guests.
|
|
Those exchanges are now famous, from Ronald Reagan's showdown with a moderator who refused to include lower-polling candidates onstage, to Barack Obama's glib comment on whether Hillary Clinton was likable, to Chris Christie pointing out that Marco Rubio was stuck on a robotic, unconvincing talking point.

She'd been unable to help talking about the "sale" of tokens, and when she was careful to talk instead about "donations" she could sound glib: She once referred to their tokens as akin to the "tote bag" one might receive as a thank-you gift from NPR.

This moral equivalence is a bit too glib, since it fails to distinguish between intentionally destabilizing a democracy (as Russia is doing in the U.S. today, and as the U.S. did in Chile in 1973—with Buchanan's support) and working to foster and improve democracies (as the NED does).

|
|
If MachineGames tried to really push for something more realistic, it would risk ending up with either an unplayable shooter or a glib and half-hearted critique of fictional violence — like a less successful version of Inglourious Basterds, a Nazi-fighting fantasy that eventually turns a judgmental gaze on its audience.
|

And third, forged in response to the Communist threat, there was a sense of Western identity, Western historical tradition, that could be glib and propagandistic in a from-Plato-to-NATO style, but at its best let people escape the worst of late modern afflictions, the crippling chauvinism of the now.

That is too glib, for the probe did uncover one big thing: it was the Benghazi select committee that discovered that as secretary of state all of Mrs Clinton's e-mails ran through an insecure home server, bypassing government systems, in what seems to have been an irresponsible and unauthorised bid to retain control of all her communications.
|
|
Lop off the first and last few minutes of the show, excise some glib chatter about Merton's life and thought, and you might never guess that this production, at the Harvey Theater of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, was meant to pay tribute to the work of a theologian and writer who spent much of his life in a Trappist monastery in Kentucky.
|
|
If politics collapses into empty signaling and confrontation at both the high end and the low—if the only political discourse we have is pitched as a series of wrestling matches favoring some flavor of partisan signaling—then the people best at sending those signals and most eager for that sort of glib confrontation would be the ones to benefit most.

There's an old-school flair to this "piece of glib journalism often written under a tight deadline" — one could almost imagine hearing it said with a little sneer in a movie like "His Girl Friday" — but its history is actually pretty brief and a little ignominious (as a warning, that link is surprisingly bawdy, especially for a New Republic article).
|
|
One, if not the only, meaning of Brexit is that, having lost faith in glib promises of a globalization for all, the other part of the nation — the losers, the shutout and the disdained — have decided, in desperation, to make a sovereign gesture: to change the rules by returning to nation-state politics in order to have a go at leveling things up.

From the very first scene, which shows Ben practicing a best man's speech in front of an increasingly bored and glib Alice, the two feel like partners in a crime against love and happiness They're both frank to the point of rudeness, the kind of people who will get blackout drunk during the reception, flail-dance to the dessert table, and then pass out.
|
|
There's an argument to be made for the matter-of-factness of that choice, that these detention facilities are just part of all of our lives now, but they aren't; they're a harsh reality for people who are caught up in a system that's fraught with political and humanitarian implications, and so the decision to set part of the movie at the border feels glib.

But he came surprisingly close, and the nature of his unscripted challenge—saying whatever radical thing he wanted, drawing around him a deeply loyal phalanx of individuals concerned about fundamental issues of how we are now to make our living, and unwilling to be put off any longer by the glib reassurances of the establishment about our glorious future—should have been a warning.
|

" Citing the work of Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert, Konnikova gave this glib assessment of how the brain deals with all this lying: "Our brains are particularly ill-equipped to deal with lies when they come not singly but in a constant stream, and Trump, we know, lies constantly, about matters as serious as the election results and as trivial as the tiles at Mar-a-Lago.

It's also a snapshot of a moment when comedy's freshest counterculture impulse was gleefully crass and willfully offensive, built on thumbed noses and middle fingers — what scanned at the time as a liberating response to a rigid and hypocritical culture, but will appear to a weighty chunk of today's viewers as the childish dregs of an entire cohort's glib, bratty chauvinism and coddled, almost toddlerish self-regard.

Later in the poem, McCrae is told of an allegorical satanic figure called the boss, who peddles a grim, anti-creation story: At the beginning of The world you want to know what God said what words God spoke to Call humans into being The boss says God said Snails Make shells humans make hells And winked and there you were The glib, nightmarish motto offers a form of clandestine comfort.

ONE LONG RIVER OF SONGNotes on Wonder By Brian Doyle If you are in love with language, here is how you will read Brian Doyle's posthumous collection of essays: by underlining sentences and double-underlining other sentences; by sometimes shading in the space between the two sets of lines so as to create a kind of D.I.Y. bolded font; by marking whole astonishing paragraphs with a squiggly line in the margin, and by highlighting many of those squiggle-marked sections with a star to identify the best of the astonishing lines therein; by circling particularly original or apt phrases, like "this blistering perfect terrible world" and "the chalky exhausted shiver of my soul" and "the most arrant glib foolish nonsense and frippery"; and, finally, by dog-earing whole pages, and then whole essays, because there is not enough ink in the world to do justice to such annotations, slim as this book is and so full of white space, too.
