But that song collided with "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things," one of the cheekier songs on "Reputation," in which the finger-wagging (aimed at Mr. West) comes with the ostensible moral high road (though it feels slightly hollow given Mr. West's challenging last couple of weeks).

Just as it has much of everything, Amazon Video has a lot of horror, ranging from last year's critically acclaimed "The Witch" to the cult classic "The House on Sorority Row" (1983) to microbudget no-name pictures for which the streaming service provides an ostensible shot at finding an audience.
Season three's ostensible focus is the DEA's attempt to bring down the Cali cartel, a massive, shadowy organization that funneled illegal drugs into the US.

"It's something I think I deserve...")She's now in her 60s, and her new book traces back the ostensible roots of her persistent despair to her Orthodox Jewish childhood under the "fascist regime" (her brother's words) of her wealthy but abusive parents, not from a safe distance, but inside of it.

The long piece, which traces the Warriors' breakthrough realization that three-point shots are worth more than two-point shots, scans like poker-faced satire by the end, politely dressing up each of Lacob's ostensible innovations—yes, it is good to have one very good shooter, but what if we had two?

Since we were just talking about Lil Wayne and Raekwon on a track, let's mention this one because it comes at Wayne's ostensible creative nadir yet features him just rapping in full real hip-hop effect, going toe-to-toe with three of New York's most legendary MCs and not missing a beat.
The 8003-year-old, who hails from the Netherlands and would only share his first name, had already spent time on forums bashing deceptive pick-up artists and promiscuous women, but ultimately found a home in this lesser-known community populated by involuntarily celibate men obsessed with extreme measures of ostensible self-improvement.

The movie's final three minutes consist of documentary footage of last year's white supremacist melee in Charlottesville, Va.

And then the rift, with a great public university forthrightly stating that Meyer, its most prominent (and best-paid) employee as well as an ostensible moral exemplar, had fallen short — not only in his mishandling of the assistant, but in his misstatements to the news media and his possibly deleting public records.
As it happens, the majority of workers are not interested in such an agreement, in part because it would give a great deal of control to an outside body many view as intrusive and in part because there remains an abiding faith in the co-op's ostensible culture of insular good will.
It is the latest example of an ostensible American ally seeking to shape American policy from the inside, and it is all the more striking because Crown Prince Mohammed, widely known as M.B.Z., is one of the biggest foreign spenders on legal forms of influence — from hiring registered lobbyists to funding think tanks.
Stopped in her tracks when she attempts to "strong-arm" Carrie — "Don't ask me questions you know I can't answer," Carrie snaps — she appears both to grasp the extent of her own wrongdoing toward her ostensible friend, and to show respect for Carrie's decision to put her daughter before ideology and political loyalty.
In practice, when it comes to race — whether in politics or in civic discourse — it is consistently white people whose feelings get to be a matter of public concern, while nonwhite people are forced to manage their own emotions on their own time and without expectation of sympathy (much less redress) from their ostensible allies.
Dozens of lawyers who filed a brief in opposition cited the cases of two Indiana lawyers who were disciplined under that state's professional conduct rules, one for asking, without an ostensible reason, whether someone was gay, and another for describing himself with a racially derogatory term during a private telephone conversation with another lawyer's secretary.

Nobody knows the finer points of the law better than Ruth, but she's second-guessed regarding her style as she prepares to appear before the U.S. Court of Appeals, and confronted with doubts from colleagues -- including the ACLU's legal director (Justin Theroux), an ostensible ally -- regarding whether her approach will really work with the judges.
"Sisyphus" (2007) is a throwback to Renaissance and Neoclassical paintings by the likes of Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Nicolas Poussin, who would diminish the significance of their ostensible subject so that it becomes just one component of a much larger context — the workaday world in the former's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" (c.

In a brief filed Friday, McDonald's, represented by Jones Day, tried to convince a federal judge for a second time to stop a lawsuit from proceeding under a theory of ostensible agency, a California common law doctrine that says a company can be held liable for labor law violations if workers reasonably believed it was their employer.
"Behind the scenes is this tussle over the fact that Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Outbrain, Taboola — all these guys — have paid to be on the ostensible whitelist for Eyeo, [the developer behind AdBlock Plus] and Facebook is resisting," says David Carroll, a professor of media design at the New School who has studied Eyeo's business model in depth.
He argues that bills like Texas' SB 4, which would penalize local officials and law enforcement for not cooperating with federal immigration authorities or for preventing police officers from asking those they arrest about their immigration status, go too far into the realm of racial profiling, even if the ostensible goal was to fight sanctuary cities.
Avenatti's despair was rooted in the remarkable decision on the part of Cohen, announced the night before, to take the Fifth Amendment, thus to avoid testifying on what role Trump had played in Cohen's ostensible generosity in arranging to pay Stormy $130,000 eleven days before the election to keep quiet about her sexual liaison with Trump.
Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom cronies were all bouncing about on each other's bonces to cheery chiptune music, while SEGA was the ostensible renegade pushing into more mature markets, with its totally-not-on-drugs-while-this-shit-got-made likes of ToeJam & Earl and a mutant hedgehog with a kleptomaniac magpie's eye for gold rings.
If Rivers gets the best out of Blake Griffin, constructs an above-average defense, and circumvents the ostensible dilemma L.A. has with its gigantic frontcourt and thin backcourt, it'll be interesting to see how many people are willing to admit they were wrong by writing the former Coach of the Year off as quickly as they did.
And then there are the president's personal relationships with Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Jinping, and Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, all of which are reported to be positive, even though the first two rule over global competitors of the United States and the third—an ostensible US ally—has sought to undermine US policy in the Middle East.
Start with the ostensible reason for the second plane: to provide additional security and to have a spare in case of a breakdown, according to G.E. No one I spoke to in the field of corporate security said that made any sense, especially in the instance when the second plane stayed in Anchorage while Mr. Immelt traveled to Asia.
It turned out to be a fruitful detour: Twombly's North African sketchbooks now look like a set of plans for his holistic symbolism, pages full of seemingly random symbols and scribbles that, seen together, charted a new territory for what painting could be, a kind of haphazardness that went beyond even the ostensible randomness of Abstract Expressionism.
The ostensible bringing together of "…place, past and future…the popular, the personal, and the political," as Rebecca Traister blurbs on the dust jacket, results in a literary kitchen sink in which no event or issue appears more important, relevant or newsworthy than any other, with so many proper nouns bobbing up through the non-fiction narrative.
For instance, Moroccan artist Fatiha Zemmouri's gigantic faux rock — made from polystyrene and plaster — that's wedged between two solid stone walls is highly credible (and strongly reminiscent of Michael Heizer's "Levitated Mass" [2012]); one can't help but be in awe of its ostensible power and destructibility, especially when viewing it in the long, narrow corridor of its current setting.
Yet this fever dream of an era in Washington — where identifying as anti-Nazi has become grist for an executive-bucking profile in courage — has obscured a longer-term truth about the relationship between Mr. Trump and his ostensible allies in conservative policy making: For now, and almost certainly for much longer, they are stuck with each other.
All of which is to say that Code Vein is religiously adherent to both the tropes of Dark Souls and of action anime post Code Geass and Attack on Titan, but is at its best when it is letting you make your own fun by breaking its self-serious veneer and the ostensible difficulty of a Souls-inspired game.
Given candidate Donald J. Trump's law-and-order bluster, his dystopian portrayal of rising crime and an ostensible war on the police, and a posse of advisers who think the main problem with incarceration is that we don't do enough of it, the idea that justice reformers have anything to look forward to is at best counterintuitive.
A letter from the commission — whose ostensible goal is to restore Americans' confidence in their elections — asked states to turn over by July 14 all publicly available information about their voters, including names, addresses, dates of birth, political party and voting history, criminal record, military status and the last four digits of their Social Security number.

"Behind the ostensible façade of Jeff Koons' art world triumphs and record-breaking auction sales — illustrated by a never-ending parade of museum, art fair and art gallery exhibitions — lurks a well-oiled machine, more specifically an established, archaic System as old as the hills applied to the art world to exploit art collectors' desire to own Jeff Koons sculptures," the suit states.
The (dubious) awards contender The Current War (with Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon) was pushed to 2018; the release of the horror flick Amityville: The Awakening earned — and this isn't a typo — $742 domestically; and the future of ostensible 2018 releases The Upside (with Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, and Nicole Kidman), and Mary Magdalene (with Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix) remains in question.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the International Franchise Association filed amicus briefs late last month in a case that will give the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals its first chance to rule on whether companies can be held liable for violations of California's labor code as a result of workers' perceptions about who they work for under the "ostensible agency" doctrine.
Two siblings each aspiring to fame are thrown for a loop when their teenage brother Chase becomes a Bieberesque pop sensation, and watching the older (if not necessarily wiser) siblings navigate the industry as ostensible hangers-on to their little bro's entourage makes for a cutting and clever examination of how fame works in a social media and image–driven world.
While the removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee was the ostensible reason for the gathering of white supremacists in Charlottesville, the gathering also highlighted something else -- the fear of replacement and erasure that sounds more benign when talking about statues and culture but takes on a much darker, violent and extreme meaning in the hands of neo-Nazis.
But 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 seems hell bent on digging us toward climate catastrophe, even as the hole's ostensible beneficiaries — major oil and gas companies — urge his administration to stop.
Even if they were not quite as dark a horse as their ranking suggested—they are Olympic-grade athletes, and Gonzalez, in particular, has a bouncy and long-limbed physicality that instantly identifies him as either a volleyball player or NBA small forward—they played a game that was altogether funkier and more casual than the one being played by their ostensible peers.
The controversial Harvard University law professor emeritus rose to answer a fairly straightforward inquiry from Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the only member of Trump's ostensible jury who also hosts an impeachment-themed podcast, The Verdict With Ted Cruz: Does it matter legally whether there was a quid pro quo, since quids pro quo are a common feature of foreign relations?
The penis is her ostensible subject, yet there are other stories here: a coming-of-age one, and another about what it means to be the not-so-proud owner of both a sack of sex potatoes built, at least in part, to give pleasure to men, and a brain that finds a lot of the business of sex farcical.

But leaving aside the fact that there is no such thing as non-political art — that Ellis's position as a white, gay, wealthy cis man has as much influence on his perspective as Barry Jenkins's perspective as a black straight man has on Moonlight ("dour and downbeat," Ellis opines) — Ellis's ostensible love for style is not evident in the clogged and uninteresting White.

But he stages scenes where hordes of Dick Cheneys and Dick Cheney operatives plop themselves down in Washington, slowly crowding out everybody who's loyal to anyone else (up to and including George W.

Vox's Zack Beauchamp looks at each of the central promises of Trump's foreign policy, and finds the common throughline is that ...

And in "Proteus," a few mutating colored blobs abstracted from Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly performing "The Babbitt and the Bromide" in "Ziegfeld Follies" make a gentle mockery of any attempt to read anything too clever into the work: The song, audible on portable headphones, is a satire of empty small talk that belies its own ostensible point by using its bubbly lyrics as a medium for rhythm, melody and mood.
