Even a hard-hitting reporter in breathable cotton/Lycra blend workout wear isn't impervious to the lure of a good swag bag, and in the name of not-so-honest reporting, I take a fistful of branded pens and shove them into my free Bulletproof tote when Nick moves on to the next person.

New York Times' great investigations of their behaviors around driving tactics ...

As much as Apple's trumpeted how much it values and prioritizes privacy — the company even went so far as to throw shade at the entire tech industry's weak stance on the matter with a massive, prominently-placed billboard at CES 2019 (a tech show it doesn't have any official presence at) — even it's not impervious to slip-ups.
Again, this would appear to suggest that modern western power structures are impervious to the storming-of-the-Bastille revolts that dominate high school history lessons, but as we've seen over the past few weeks, Trump's inauguration and his subsequent use of executive orders with tyrannical abandon have spurred a long-dormant spirit of activism into action.
Awards shows have always been ripe for drinking games, and taking a drink every time you inaccurately predict the winner of an award is an old standby of sorts—but in recent years the Grammys have proved impervious to that rule of imbibing, since they drastically reduced the number of categories during the prime-time telecast.

In all probability, it will get better not because we develop more effective deterrents (although threats of cyberretaliation and imposition of other burdens clearly do play a key role here, at least with other nation-states) but because we develop greater resilience and more impervious defenses — and the full realization of that may be a decade away.

Good politicians (meaning savvy, not virtuous) understand this instinctively: Ronald Reagan's welfare mother buying vodka with food stamps and Donald Trump's Muslims dancing in the streets of New Jersey as the towers fell told people something they wanted to believe, that they felt was true, and so were impervious to the feeble, dweeby rebuttals of fact.
A more revisionist camp, led by George Washington's Brandon Bartels and Duke's Christopher Johnston, argues that the public's view of legitimacy is closely linked to approval of its decisions: that the sense of the Court as a uniquely nonpolitical actor is not impervious to events, as the Gallup numbers might suggest, and that's affecting the way the public see its rulings.
If you haven't played the first game or read the extensive comics that tell the full story of this universe, let me break it down for you really fast: A few years ago, the Joker did a c-c-combo with hallucination-gas villain Scarecrow to create a kryptonite-infused solution that could affect the normally-impervious Man of Steel.
