Ví dụ
Riot police officers stood on edge at every street and district, wary of any expression of dissent (sự bất đồng ý kiến). They even kept watch on Lion Rock, a peak overlooking the city, where protesters had taken to hanging banners. Pedestrians in dark clothes were accosted and searched. Shoppers were arrested for unlawful assembly. A Bluetooth speaker playing the protest anthem, “Glory to Hong Kong,” was crushed under the heel of an officer.

DISTANT DINNER PLAY We’ve been under the heel of the pandemic for so long that it’s become a way of life — oh, the ennui! In A Distant Dinner Party With Jess and Jaron, Jessica Coker and Jaron Vessly star in a playful take on our bleak reality. In this production by 42nd Street Moon, Jaron has taken up the pandemic hobby of making homemade bread, while Jess is comforting herself by buying more and more houseplants. To liven things up, the couple decides to host a virtual dinner party and invites fabulous guests — like Angel Adedokun, Anjali Blacker, Danny Cozart and more — to their shared digital space. Listen to catchy numbers from productions like Waitress, Gypsy, Mame, and Next to Normal, and laugh the night away. $20. Nov. 12-22.

Rod Dreher is a senior editor and blogger at The American Conservative, one of the most influential conservative opinion-makers (người đưa ra ý kiến của đảng bảo thủ) in the US, and a man who has moved conspicuously from Protestant to Catholic to Orthodox Churches. His latest book, Live Not By Lies, takes its title from an essay by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, whose monumental The Gulag Archipelago exposed the labour camp system into which millions disappeared in the Soviet era. Dreher argues that Christians in the US and Europe – whether they recognise it or not – now live under the heel of the “soft totalitarianism” (nền toàn trị mềm) of what he calls “the pink police state”. There are many conservative Catholics in the US who listen more to Dreher, a lay member of an Orthodox church in Louisiana, on matters of belief and practice, than they do to Pope Francis.
