▼ + stars: | 2024-03-08 | by ( Gia Kourlas | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

For a company to unveil a decent new ballet is a strange and marvelous occurrence. To unveil two in one season? Quality choreography that celebrates classicism, that highlights musicality — that even pushes the form into new realms — isn’t the norm. But at New York City Ballet this season, two premieres were worthy of many more viewings — and in the case of Alexei Ratmansky’s harrowing “Solitude,” set to Mahler, endless ones. Inspired by a 2022 photo of a Ukrainian father kneeling before the body of his dead son, the ballet filled the stage with bodies expressing the tangible ache of grief and love.

Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes, asked a Texas judge to throw out Elon Musk's custody case.

In Musk's lawsuit , he claimed they lived together in Texas as recently as July 2023. He splits his time between six companies — with his private jets sometimes making multiple trips between Texas and California within a week. The lawsuit isn't the first sign of conflict between Musk and Grimes.

☆ If you're a rich parent like Elon Musk, Texas is a much better place than California for a child support showdown

If the case turns into a child support battle, Musk would be better off if it plays out in Texas. The jurisdiction will come down to who can prove where the kids actually live, Texas or California. It's unclear what either party's ultimate goal is, whether it is related to physical custody, legal custody, child support, or some other issue. Texas caps monthly child support payments at $1,840 for one child, or $2,760 for three children, which is how many Musk and Grimes share. Many factors go into calculating child support payments in California, including net disposable income, but it ultimately comes down to the judge to decide.

“Russia’s invasion flips the script,” he added. “On top of that, the country the U.S. is sending arms to here is engaging in actual self-defense. The peace movement needs to resist the urge to simply replay our ‘greatest hits’ about U.S. imperialism when we talk about Ukraine,” he said, adding that his group strongly supports intensive diplomacy to resolve the conflict. First is the obvious fact that Mr. Biden has not committed the U.S. military to the conflict, making for a cost in treasure but not American troops. Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Walzer said that “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is illegal under international law, and it is unjust according to every version of just war theory.”The view is common among defenders of Mr. Biden’s policies.

Things have been difficult for her family, she says, but one thing she isn’t worried about: a midlife crisis, looming just over the horizon. One of our questions was about whether they had experienced a midlife crisis and how they would define the term. Many people said they felt they couldn’t be having a midlife crisis, because there was no bourgeois numbness to rebel against. “Who has midlife crisis money?”The traditional midlife crisis, as presented in popular culture, at least, unfolds amid suburban ennui. We just increase our Lexapro.”Was the midlife crisis ever even real?
