Few doubt Mr. O'Rourke's capacity to upend the race regardless, buoyed by a talent for relentless retail politics, a formidable low-dollar fund-raising army and an unsubtle contrast to front-runners in their 70s, like Mr. Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders.

An avalanche of data that shows women continue to face subtle and unsubtle bias when they try to break high and hard glass ceilings in politics so it's certainly reasonable to wonder how much of that bias factored into her failure to win.

Mr. Cuomo's office has a keen, if unsubtle, eye for the moment: The announcement coincides with the women's marches in Washington, New York and other cities across the country, where Mr. Trump's inauguration is expected to pull hundreds of thousands of women into the streets.
|
|
This applies to the Facebook and Instagram tie-ins, too — you can print photos directly from those accounts, but they show the caption, number of likes or hearts, and the logo of the service you printed them from, all in about as unsubtle a manner as possible.

In the past, Flanagan's storytelling has had a tendency to be unsubtle and too heavily reliant on sentiment, but Hill House is full of an almost tortured restraint and thus showcases what he does best; the deliberate pacing reminds me most of his debut film Absentia.
|
|
It doesn't think in the same new-flagship-every-year-on-the-dot terms as bigger brands like Samsung and LG. The company just ships phones when they're ready, and the "T" suffix it's attached to second-gen releases is an unsubtle dig at Apple's biannual "S" upgrades.
|
|
The sequels are equally unsubtle about America's antipathy and hypocrisy toward even the humblest and hardest-working poor people, but they rightly shift the focus onto the people most targeted by racist, classist American policy decisions, and they shift the genre from home-invasion thriller to ensemble action.
|
|

Whilst my youth was spent in sticky clubs using my friends' thumbs up or thumbs down to gauge in the most unsubtle way possible if the person clumsily grinding on me was hot enough to bang faces with, my adult life has been avoiding these places at all costs.
|

Someone else floated "the daughter of a corrupt Chinese businesswoman," an unsubtle reference to the Chinese pop star Wanting Qu who is dating our mayor, and whose mother, Qu Zhang Mingjie, faced the death penalty last year in China after being arrested and charged with embezzlement and bribery.
|
|
WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, extended a bipartisan invitation on Monday to the head of NATO to address a joint session of Congress, in an unsubtle jab at President Trump's foreign policy that is meant to underscore broad congressional support for the alliance.
|
|
Muschietti's film might seem over-the-top in any other year, with its unsubtle depictions of hate, racism, and othering; instead, in a year that's seen the dramatic surfacing of those elements, it serves as a grim, temporary catharsis — temporary, because the fight to defeat these social evils is never over.
|
|
But I can't honestly say I've grappled seriously with the many ways, subtle and unsubtle, that this bias has benefitted me at every step: in my education, my career, in meetings, in fundraising, in the different expectations for my wife and I, in our domestic life — and most certainly in politics.

As political theater, it was as effective as it was unsubtle: Barbara Starr, the Pentagon correspondent from CNN, was soon asking Pentagon representatives and deployed service members about workarounds that might allow them to stream the game; Jake Tapper picked up and shared the news in a tweet as well.

Part of a partnership with the nonprofit Mental Health America — as well as an unsubtle dig at the McDonald's Happy Meal — the nearly two-minute "short film" promotes a limited-time, select-city product called "Real Meals," which correspond to a customer's "real" mood: Blue, Salty, Pissed, DGAF and YAAAS.
|
|
But the president also used the occasion to promote his nomination of Neil M. Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, to accuse the news media of underplaying terrorist attacks, to praise Rick Scott, the Florida governor, and to send an unsubtle message about the benefits of having supported his presidential campaign.
|
|
Then again, if any of them were, say, concerned about some of the side effects — or inclined to ask, just for the sake of argument, whether we might be pointing ourselves toward an atmosphere of unsubtle and unprincipled group sophistry — well, it's unclear how much anyone would entertain that worry anyway.
|
|
Even if that concept never becomes the law of the land, the group says that its efforts are meant to make it clear that places like Toledo will oppose what they see as environmental degradation, sending an unsubtle message that certain companies might want to look elsewhere to do business.

As you have noticed, trying to play one of your old radio stations in the iTunes program or iOS Music app brings an unsubtle invitation to sign up for Apple Music, which costs about $10 a month for an individual subscription or $15 for the family plan after the free three-month trail period ends.
|
|
She's repeatedly characterized Clinton as among the best prepared presidential candidates in the nation's history; she often couches her evasive predictions about the next White House resident with an unsubtle, "Whoever she may be;" and she's done nothing to disguise her excitement in the thought of electing the country's first woman as commander in chief.

Dianne FeinsteinDianne Emiel FeinsteinTrump administration urges Congress to reauthorize NSA surveillance program The Hill's Morning Report - More talk on guns; many questions on Epstein's death Juan Williams: We need a backlash against Big Tech MORE (D-Calif.) to deliver an unsubtle message to the Democrats: deliver for the "Dreamers," or pay a heavy price.

While the record features its fair share of unsubtle and cavernous drops––there are points of Kromestar's redux of Barrington Levy's "Here I Come" and L.D.'s take on Gyptian's "Nah Let Go" that threaten to rattle your teeth––the wubs feel at home here, recontextualized as hyper-futuristic rocksteady rhythms for skanking on the moon.
|
|
In the #MeToo era, that's been one of his assets, to be sure, presented powerfully in music videos like the one for "Solo De Mi." But it also serves as an unsubtle rejection of musica urbana's hypermasculine and sexist past, something that endears him to a youthful base far more woke than those who came before.
|
|
And Russia has been a subplot of the campaign that Tom Clancy and John le Carre together may have been unable to conjure, complete with the apparent Russian hack of one of America's political parties, a threat that Russian hackers may try to tamper with electronic voting machines, and Mr. Putin's unsubtle preference for Mr. Trump over Mrs. Clinton.

Sustained investment in propaganda in Chinese-language media and in Western media, subtle and unsubtle attempts to exert influence through the party's United Front Work Department, pressuring business partners to support political positions on Taiwan and the South China Sea, buying political influence and muscle-flexing on Western campuses—all have caused alarm in several countries recently, notably in Australia and New Zealand.

His primary-season base was more working class and less religious and libertarian than is usual for Republican nominees, and his campaign trafficked in overtly populist rather than ideologically conservative appeals: protectionist talk on trade and immigration, an "America First" foreign policy vision, a promise to protect Social Security and Medicare and an unsubtle emphasis on white identity and white nostalgia.

The New England Patriots team insignia occupies the center, while the logos for the Carolina Panthers (a black panther) and the Washington Redskins (a native American with feathers) are placed on the periphery — a very unsubtle indication of how whiteness occupies the center of the US American narrative of country and destiny, in which conquered peoples and fetishized people are made to seem exotic.

At Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference this week, Craig Federighi, Apple's VP of software engineering, took an unsubtle dig at the privacy concerns plaguing competitors like Google: "It's a fast, easy way to sign in without all the tracking," he said of Apple's new third-party authentication feature, which allows users to sign into websites using their Apple IDs, with the option to provide randomized email addresses upon sign up.

There are many root causes of this lack of representation: unsubtle racism and reverse ageism; a fundamental misreading of hip-hop's power, reducing it to an accent piece when truly it is the main course; and presumably a fear that Grammy viewers would be more comfortable seeing Bono and Sting multiple times than any rapper apart from Kendrick Lamar, who delivered an imaginative and deeply invested show-opening performance.
