![]() ![]() Rollo Tomassi is an artist and social scientist. ![]() The people who attack Rollo Tomassi for the Rational Male. There are various authors, entrepreneurs, and influencers that I follow online and have learned from.įor example, I think Rollo Tomassi is a smart guy and I learned a lot from him.ĭo I agree with him about everything? No!īut I have found a lot of value from his books and he brought a unique perspective about women, dating, relationships, and the world in general.Īnd this brings me back to all the critics. Speaking for myself I can say the following about this: The manosphere is a term popularized in pop culture for various groups of men that somehow got grouped together to make it seem like everyone was on the same page. In various men's communities, the book has been popular.Īnd in others, it's been criticized by men who didn't like their whole worldview being ripped apart.Įven men who read the Rational Male and benefited have criticised the book for being “anti-women” or for making men “angry”.įirstly I'm not part of any men's community or manosphere. In fact, the whole series of Rational Male books have been very good. ![]() One of the most impactful books I have read over the last few years when it comes to dating and relationships has been the Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi. ![]()

That quilt will then keep a child or a lonely old person warm. Starting with this simple simile, Giovanni then develops the metaphor, with her speaking expressing the wish that part of her will survive after she has ceased to be, like a square cut out of the tablecloth and woven into a quilt. This is a poem about failure, or at least perceived failure, in life: the speaker likens herself to a faded and worn-out tablecloth, which can no longer cover the table where families gather to eat together. ![]() ![]() ![]() The thought, immersing itself in the events that revolve around the royal family and Buckingham Palace, especially at the time of the young Elizabeth told in the very first seasons, goes to Sir Cecil Beaton (1904-1980): theatrical designer and artist, as well as writer, he won in 1959 and in 1965, respectively, for the films Gigi and My Fair Lady, two Oscars for his costumes and one for the best scenography. ![]() Picture shows: Princess Diana (EMMA CORRIN) Not surprisingly, The Crown is one of the most expensive series ever.

Praise for World of Lore: Dreadful Places Mahnke also crosses land and sea to visit frightful sites-from New Orleans to Richmond, Virginia, to the brooding, ancient castles of England-each with its own echoes of dark deeds, horrible tragedies, and shocking evil still resounding.įilled with evocative illustrations, this eerie tour of lurid landmarks and doomed destinations is just the ticket to take armchair travelers with a taste for the macabre to places they never thought they’d visit in their wildest, scariest dreams. Mahnke takes us to Colorado and the palatial Stanley Hotel, where wealthy guests enjoyed views of the Rocky Mountains at the turn of the twentieth century-and where, decades later, a restless author would awaken from a nightmare, inspired to write one of the most revered horror novels of all time. ![]() Join Aaron Mahnke, the host of the popular podcast Lore, as he explores some of these dreadful places and the history that haunts them.

But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths…and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea’s surface. Part horror, part psychological nightmare, The Deep by Nick Cutter is a novel fans of Stephen King and Clive Barker wont want to miss. It may just be the key to eradicating the ’Gets. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Mariana Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as “ambrosia”’-a universal healer, from initial reports-has been discovered. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily…and there is no cure. It causes people to forget-small things at first, like where they left their keys…then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet.

Trigger Warnings: Attempted Murder, Being Buried Alive, Panic Attack(s), Sex Scenes. Gypsy Freak is the second book in the All The Pretty Monsters series. Hello lovelies! Today I have my book review of Gypsy Freak, by Kristy Cunning. ![]() ![]() "The story is very similar in a way to Tommy, to Quadrophenia, to a lot of early Who singles, it’s about the fear and depravation and isolation of children, particularly of a little boy in this context. My intention was to write a modern song-cycle musical in the manner of Tommy." - Pete Townshend, Iron Man press kit, 1989. "Ted Hughes story provides me with a perfect fairy tale on which to hang modern songs. Although none of Pete’s music is featured in the movie, he received the credit of Executive Producer. The story in the movie version was modified to better target the American audience, and was renamed The Iron Giant to avoid confusion with the popular Marvel comic book, Iron Man. In 1999 it was adapted as an animated film and released by Warner Brothers. The project was intended to be a full blown musical stage production, and was later expanded and staged at the Young Vic Theatre in London in 1993. The songs sung by Roger Daltrey (Dig and Fire) also feature John Entwistle on bass, and are billed as performances by The Who, making these the first official recordings by The Who since the band broke up in 1982. The Iron Man features guest singers who portray the characters in the story, and stars Roger Daltrey, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, Deborah Conway, along with Pete Townshend, who plays the main character Hogarth. It was produced by Pete in his Eel Pie Studios, and released as a studio album in 1989. ![]() The Iron Man: The Musical by Pete Townshend is an adaptation of a children’s book, The Iron Man, written byTed Hughes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Winner of the the 1998 Ralph Waldo Emerson Award of the Phi Beta Kappa Society … ( more) Telling the story of what may have been the bitterest of American conflicts, and its reverberations over the centuries, Lepore has enabled us to see how the ways in which we remember past events are as important in their effect on our history as were the events themselves. ![]() King Philip's War became one of the most written-about wars in our history, and Lepore argues that the words strengthened and hardened feelings that, in turn, strengthened and hardened the enmity between Indians and Anglos. But Jill Lepore makes clear that it was after the war-and because of it-that the boundaries between cultures, hitherto blurred, turned into rigid ones. ![]() Some even argued that the massacres and outrages on both sides were too horrific to "deserve the name of a war." The war's brutality compelled the colonists to defend themselves against accusations that they had become savages. Winner of the Bancroft Prize King Philip's War, the excruciating racial war-colonists against Indians-that erupted in New England in 1675, was, in proportion to population, the bloodiest in American history. ![]() ![]() ![]() I lost all patience with that â I have lost all patience. My own family supported Jesse Helms, the conservative senator who was the most homophobic person in congress. This s**t’s been going on there for a long time. “He made up a pathetic excuse for why he couldn’t attend. “My university decided to honour me with an honorary doctoral degree about five years ago and I asked my little brother to come to the ceremony, thinking he’d be proud of me, and he was embarrassed to have to do it,” Maupin tells PinkNews. Naturally, Armistead Maupin expected his family to be proud of him â so he was disappointed to learn that his Trump voting, conservative brother was “embarrassed” of his achievements as a chronicler of queer life in America. It was a proud moment for the author of Tales of the City, the trailblazing series of books that brought the story of queer San Francisco to the masses. Five years ago, acclaimed gay author Armistead Maupin was given an honorary doctorate by the university he attended many years earlier. ![]() |
