If they can make common cause with Trump on issues that matter to their own supporters, and, in their mind, to the United States as a whole, Democrats might be able to triangulate the Tea Party members of the GOP and others who are rigidly anti-spending and consider everything that Obama touched to be anathema.

Mr. Baroni sat up rigidly at the defense table as Mr. Wildstein described him as the closest friend he had ever had, and how Mr. Baroni had hired him to be a "bad cop" at the Port Authority, where the governor was looking to reassert New Jersey's power in an often toxic relationship with New York State.

One boy in particular drew my attention because he sat rigidly still, his face a frozen mask, not engaging with anyone around him, despite the fact that boys in nearby rows were calling him names and hitting him in the back of the head with wadded-up balls of paper and anything else they could lay their hands on.

After World War II, tiny Albania became a hermit state, rigidly controlled by a Stalinist dictator, Enver Hoxha, who broke with both the Soviet Union and Maoist China, desecrated the country's mosques and churches and planted the beaches across from the Greek island of Corfu with pillboxes before his regime collapsed in 1990, five years after his death.

At the time I marveled at how a group of athletes who tend to measure success so rigidly, who generally buy into the belief that they are what their scores say they are, rallied to give a farewell befitting a giant to Jarrod, a journeyman whose highest finish in 238 P.G.A. Tour starts was a tie for fourth.

Part of the frustration stems from something beyond the world of Game of Thrones: By naming him king, Bran Stark is cemented as a perfect analogue for a certain type of protector of geek culture; specifically, fans (often male) who are rigidly deferent to the original lore of a story, often alienating other (typically marginalized) fans who support a more flexible approach.

James Ivory's Quartet (1981), which plays through May 9th at the Quad Cinema in its new 4k restoration (and opens later this month in L.A.), is a visually dazzling recreation of 1920s Paris that subverts romanticized notions of the era, exposing the City of Light's seedy underbelly and the forms of bondage women endure in a hedonistic but still rigidly patriarchal society.

Rather than rigidly policing or outright canceling stars who appear to contradict our individual notions of queerness, we might instead opt to celebrate this rich, representational moment, learn more about the wide array of people representing the community in #20gayteen, and encourage young artists, often new to the politics of queerness and representation, to negotiate their individual identities in ways that feel right for them.

There are signals for how we treated those we designated as disabled (dark glasses and white cane to indicate blindness), how we generally viewed femininity (quite rigidly coded), what abundance looked like (a pile of succulently glazed doughnuts), and how similar home food was to street food before the hegemony of corporatized fast food took hold (a lunch counter sign advertises spaghetti for a few cents).

He hasn't changed; instead, 22019 years after his career took off, the culture has finally caught up to the idea that the actor who embodies some of our most rigidly masculine cinematic tropes — the badass action hero, the unstoppable cop, the martial arts master, the guy who levels up to save the world and get the girl — can also be a gentle, soft-spoken, wholesome dude who eschews those tropes in his own life.

"Beyond Borders" (the second "Criminal Minds" spinoff after the short-lived "Suspect Behavior") is, like the original, unapologetically formulaic; the shows are among the most rigidly formatted dramas on TV. Innocents are snatched or killed before the opening credits, a team of F.B.I. profilers takes its federal jet to the scene, a relationship (tense or collegial) is established with local law enforcement, and a profile of the psycho-perp is delivered in singsong fashion to a roomful of cops.
