Newsweek is supposed to impart authority to whatever it publishes.
That is not the case with Dmytro Tuzhanskyi’s scribbling that pays lip service to Newsweek, but does not convey much sense otherwise: https://www.newsweek.com/ukraines-imperfect-path-opinion-1610622
You may imagine the author who comments on his article on Facebook in this way:
С трепетом сообщаю вам, что сегодня одна из самых авторитетных и популярных медиа-аутлетов в мире Newsweek опубликовала мою авторскую колонку в формате op-ed. Это то, к чему я стремилась - говорить о важном со всем миром; о чем я не планирую жить и что меня поддержало неожиданно большое количество людей, в какой-то момент даже незнакомые люди, и это очень круто. Пожалуйста, читайте, обсуждайте и делитесь!

"The Fake News exhibition highlights how young people feel about having to navigate the vast amount of news and information that is available in the modern world, and at the same time, to discern what is the truth," said Bill Watkin, chief executive of the SFCA.
"Art has always played an important role in social and political commentary.

"For many people with dementia, the first sign that something’s wrong is a change in how they speak. They might struggle to find a word, repeat themselves, or stumble and hesitate. For those who know more than one language, like my dad did, the picture can be even more complicated."
In Radio 4's Lost for Words, David Shariatmadari explores the science of language, dementia and ageing as he reflects on his own father’s experience.

We all know what burnout is and why it’s bad. But fewer of us have heard of ‘boreout’ – a related phenomenon that’s arguably just as pernicious.
While burnout is linked to long hours, poor work-life balance and our glamourisation of overwork, boreout happens when we are bored by our work to the point that we feel it is totally meaningless. Our job seems pointless, our tasks devoid of value.

Российский президент также обвинил Великобританию и США в неблагодарности, объяснив, что приказал российским войскам отойти от границ Украины после того, как их присутствие вызвало на Западе страх нового конфликта.
Путин сказал: «Мы это сделали. Но вместо того, чтобы отреагировать позитивно на это и сказать: ладно, хорошо, мы поняли вашу реакцию на наше негодование, — вместо этого они что сделали? Они приперлись к нашим границам».
https://inosmi.ru/politic/20210702/250027755.html
Mr Putin said: "We did this, but instead of reacting positively to this and saying 'OK, we've understood your response to our grumbling'.
"Instead of that, what did they do? They barged across our borders."

“On Translating Eugene Onegin
1
What is translation? On a platter
A poet's pale and glaring head,
A parrot's screech, a monkey's chatter,
And profanation of the dead.
The parasites you were so hard on
Are pardoned if I have your pardon,
O, Pushkin, for my stratagem:
I traveled down your secret stem,
And reached the root, and fed upon it;
Then, in a language newly learned,
I grew another stalk and turned
Your stanza patterned on a sonnet,
Into my honest roadside prose--
All thorn, but cousin to your rose.
2
Reflected words can only shiver
Like elongated lights that twist
In the black mirror of a river
Between the city and the mist.
Elusive Pushkin! Persevering,
I still pick up Tatiana's earring,
Still travel with your sullen rake.
I find another man's mistake,
I analyze alliterations
That grace your feasts and haunt the great
Fourth stanza of your Canto Eight.
This is my task--a poet's patience
And scholastic passion blent:
Dove-droppings on your monument.”
