The first and final verses of “Ballad of a Thin Man” both begin: “You walk into the room.” To enter a room where you are utterly at a loss — and, moreover, where you are also the object of mirth, derision or outright intimidation — is a universal anxiety. It’s a scenario as fraught and frightening for captains of industry, political kingmakers, Ivy League academics and Wall Street bankers as for socially struggling teenagers. To tell someone that they don’t know what’s happening is to imply that you, or at least someone, does. But Dylan casts so much doubt on anyone having the upper hand (epistemologically speaking) that, by the end of the song, all sense of a higher authority has evaporated.
“You raise up your head and you ask, ‘Is this where it is?’/ And somebody points to you and says, ‘It’s his’/ And you say, ‘What’s mine?’ and somebody else says, ‘Well, what is?’/ And you say, ‘Oh my God, am I here all alone?’”

Elon Musk had been expected to attend a briefing in the Tank, a secure conference room in the Pentagon, with military leaders, as The Times reported last night. But that was called off after the Times article was published, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

A video captures the moment when Ann Gwi-ryeong, a spokeswoman for South Korea’s Democratic Party, confronted an armed soldier in front of the parliament building in Seoul. It was broadcast by JTBC News, a local TV outlet. As their scuffle continued, the soldier repeatedly shouted, “Move away!” Ann stood her ground, even as the gun appeared to be pointed at her, responding, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
