'Cat Person' Makes a Mess of a Compelling Short Story

4 days ago TIME

Geraldine Viswanathan and Emilia Jones in 'Cat Person' Courtesy of Sundance InstituteMargot and Robert exchange flirtatious, ostensibly clever texts. Run, Margot, run! (Run, Margot, run!) “Cat Person” was, among other things, a story about our inability, our unwillingness, to heed red flags—humans are, after all, creatures who want to believe in love. But Cat Person takes the easy way out.

What’s at Stake for Biden in the Midterm Elections

“In this midterm for Biden, everything’s at stake,” says Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University. In the middle of Trump’s term, Democrats took control of the House and reinstalled Nancy Pelosi as speaker. But a more dramatic development may come quickly, with a showdown between Biden and House Republicans over raising the debt limit. Without control of the House and Senate, Biden is facing “certainly the end of the more progressive aspects of the Biden agenda,” Ayers says. Nonetheless, if it happens this time, Democrats and Biden should look closely at why it did, given the state of the two parties, she says.

The 5 Best New TV Shows Our Critic Watched in October 2022

Not that everything it tried worked; enough with the horror-movie adaptations (that aren’t Interview with the Vampire) already. But all of the month’s best new shows, from Guillermo del Toro’s Netflix horror anthology to the latest installment of Masterpiece Mystery, had a bit of an eerie edge to them. Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities (Netflix)Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities is an episodic anthology conceived, curated, and hosted by the Shape of Water Oscar winner. Thanks, perhaps, to Del Toro’s famously exacting aesthetic standards, the production values are unusually high. With its cold, dark setting and depressive characters, High School takes a while to generate momentum.

Why The Van Gogh Climate Protest Wasn't Smart

A plurality of respondents (46%) reported that these tactics decrease their support for efforts to address climate change. Some observers have expressed incredulity over the notion that a non-violent protest could lead someone who cared about the future of the planet to no longer do so. And unfortunately, just as with climate change denial, there seems to be way too much motivated reasoning on the part of proponents when it comes to the topic of disruptive non-violent climate protests. So, do our results suggest that there is no role for non-violent protest by climate advocates and activists? It was as part of a larger project examining public opinion on climate change and human health.

California Flooding: Thousands Without Power, Boy Swept Away

Tens of thousands of people remained without power, and some schools closed for the day. The boy has not been declared dead, said spokesperson Tony Cipolla of the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office. Bystanders were able to pull the mother out of the truck, but the boy was swept out of the vehicle and downstream, likely into a river, Swanson said. McLeod said she feels fortunate because her home sits on high ground and the power is still on. Much of California remains in severe to extreme drought, though the storms have helped fill depleted reservoirs.

Who Is the Shortest Serving Prime Minister in U.K. History?

Nevertheless, Truss’s brief stint has earned her an unfortunate place in history as the shortest-serving Prime Minister in British history. Read More: Britain’s Conservative Party Can’t Get Its Act TogetherGeorge Canning: 119 daysBefore Truss, George Canning held the title of shortest-serving Prime Minister. Before serving as Prime Minister, Goderich aligned himself with Canning and served as his Colonial Secretary and leader in the Lords. He worked with the Liberal Party-led government during World War I, and was appointed Prime Minister in 1922. In 1782, Shelburne took over as Prime Minister for 266 days, or eight months, only three of which Parliament was actually in session for.

Americans Support Biden's Response to the Ukraine War But Worry About Nuclear Escalation

Some urge the U.S. to double down in the face of “nuclear blackmail,” lest dictators be emboldened and the chances for nuclear war and proliferation increase. The president, however, seems more attentive to the risks of nuclear war. This support for restraint is found in the goals Americans prioritize for the U.S. response to the war. To be sure, Americans broadly and compassionately support Ukraine and want the Biden administration to help it, even as the threat of nuclear war is a top concern. Despite Biden’s otherwise pragmatic support of Ukraine, his rhetoric has at times been aligned with more maximalist war aims which would entail escalation.
