If this latter concept recalls the "high kindergarten" of Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem, it's crucial to consider that the psychedelic exploration that roared to kaleidoscopic life before imploding into burnout in the 60s and 70s is returning now in formalized and more socially acceptable ways.

Credit...Patrick Chauvel MOSCOW — It began not so much as an invasion, but as a slouching stumble through mud and snow by frightened, ill-fed Russian conscripts, the hollowed-out remnants of a force that, before the collapse of the Soviet Union just three years earlier, had been the mighty Red Army.

How do you go from being hailed as a man whose "prosecutorial decisions were based on evidence, not politics" and a woman hailed, back in 1991, as leading the "most important counterterrorist offensive in American history" to slouching side by side, on Fox News, to spread the message that George Soros runs the world?

About girls who sound a lot like Evie, Joan Didion in her 1967 essay "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" wrote: There are always little girls around rock groups—the same girls who used to hang around saxophone players, girls who live on the celebrity and power and sex a band projects when it plays—and there are three of them out here this afternoon in Sausalito where the Grateful Dead rehearse.

There are many splashy pieces in von Bonin's exhibition, like the pile of inflatable, dolphin-shaped pool toys that greets visitors ("OHNE TITEL," 2016), the soft sculpture of a pale shark slouching at a desk as if in the throes of afternoon caffeine withdrawal ("HAI AM TISCH 1," 443), and the ominous octopus crafted from Japanese fishing flags and lit from below with neon tubes like a tricked-out Honda ("TOTAL PRODUCE [MORALITY]," 2010).

Boris Johnson, meanwhile, ran as a lovable doofus, and he did some very doofy things: immediately scrapping the fleet of bendy buses because he didn't like the way they looked, solving the pollution problem by spraying glue on streets with air quality detectors, building a useless cable car nobody wanted, and approving a useless "garden bridge" that people want for very bad reasons, slouching around the world to be racist toward people, etc.

To his back, a pair of six-foot-tall rope vases stand, slouching like sleepy sentinels; on a vintage armoire hang two blazers, hand-painted by Colantonio with the ancient columns and architecture that decorated De Chirico's Ballets Russes costumes; on the floor lie a few of what he calls his "magic carpets" — seemingly pedestrian Persian throw rugs that are, in fact, made of transparent plastic and expose rather than cover the floor underneath.

KIPP Fresno's school plan described what it called "a few" examples: messy binders and desks, crooked lines, trash on the floor, untucked shirts, slouching, note passing, loud talking, deep sighing, whining, laughing at others, eye rolling, teeth sucking, gum chewing, yawning, pen tapping, doodling, feet dragging, running in the hallways, and sloppy bulletin boards Take any of those steps, and a student would face a sliding scale of consequences, from losing points in their classroom reward system to being asked to stand up for the rest of the class period, according to the KIPP Fresno plan.

The story that unfolds is a sweet and simple one depicting the evolving friendship among three movie-theater workers: the genial Sam (Matthew Maher), who's slouching through his 30s in a dead-end job but doesn't quite know how to turn his life around; the younger, slightly intimidating Rose (Louisa Krause), who's been promoted to the projection booth, to Sam's consternation, and who favors unflattering shroudy clothes and black boots; and the newbie, Avery (Aaron Clifton Moten), a movie nerd of spectacular skills who can connect the filmic dots between, say, Michael J. Fox and Britney Spears, without even skipping a stroke in his popcorn-sweeping.

That means I sort of missed out on that entire teenage rite-of-passage with alcohol—of drinking until you're sick on a park bench, of sneaking into rock clubs with extremely lax ID policies (it's always rock clubs), of loitering outside liquor stores with a pocket full of change and the one person in your group with the most polite voice asking adult passersby if they can score you some Bacardi—because I had too many searing memories of coming home to find my dad passed out in front of the TV; of having to make him strong black coffee to sober him up before my mom got home and they had yet another argument about it; of him moving out and dwelling in this tiny apartment, alone and watching televised golf, slowly slouching towards death.

Swelling out of the ocean like a bad feeling, heard before seen slouching toward Miramar over Venice Beach, it's the Bell Boeing V-22, not sleek but versatile, able to launch from Al Asad, fly to Mudaysis, perform pickup, then return, all within the golden hour, fast enough to outrun a difficult past, the budgetary hurdles and crashes in R. & D., the $72-million price tag, flyaway, its many modes, and we think moods; you remember its namesake in another state, fled from some outer dark, gliding above the diamond, from left field to center, where it made its home up in the stadium lights, a crown of wooden swords for its nest, hovering in the swampy air like forethought as the crack of a bat sent a tiny moon into orbit, a wave rippling through the crowd, the lights on their tall stems powered on, day powered down, and you had no team, you did not know whom to root for, home or away.
