It's time to nail your colours to the mast (or tie them? ...latch them on? ...whatever) as two juggernauts of masculinity go head to head in a battle to find the ultimate male role model. Who's your choice: Star Trek's Commander Riker; bearded, sexually unstoppable seducer of gods, or Disney'sBeauty and the Beast's Gaston, with his square jaw and catchy theme song? A tough dilemma, so read the in-depth discussion, including:
Herculean muscle-pumps
David and the Goliath...the truth is told
Witty one liners from biblical characters.
How does a genie have sex?
Pointless Conversations: Armageddon
Time for Armageddon ...the film with Bruce Willis, not the cataclysmic event... anyway, on the docket are:
Why a dirty bum is a small price to pay for financial security.
If the Flake is a chocolate bar for women, what's the male equivalent?
Why does confectionery go out of date on a Saturday?
Drilling a hole and dropping some nukes? Really?
Pointless Conversations: Killing Buzz and Woody
Here's a packed conversation with more subjects, topics, boar-munching and off-kilter ramblings than could be possible listed ...although I'm about to do that right now...
If you chopped off his head and then threw him is a blender, would Toy Story's Woody, die?
Forget Captain American, here's Captain Jesus
Who wins: Jesus or Chuck Norris?
Talk of X-Men, then a final Asterix-style banquet, complete with boar

Описание:
"For the master's tools," the poet Audre Lorde wrote, "will never dismantle the master's house." Dismantlings is a study of literary, political, and philosophical critiques of the utopian claims about technology in the Long Seventies, the decade and a half before 1980. Following Alice Hilton's 1963 admonition that the coming years would bring humanity to a crossroads—"machines for HUMAN BEINGS or human beings for THE MACHINE"—Matt Tierney explores wide-ranging ideas from science fiction, avant-garde literatures, feminist and anti-racist activism, and indigenous eco-philosophy that may yet challenge machines of war, control, and oppression.
Dismantlings opposes the language of technological idealism with radical thought of the Long Seventies, from Lorde and Hilton to Samuel R. Delany and Ursula K. Le Guin to Huey P. Newton, John Mohawk, and many others. This counter-lexicon retrieves seven terms for the contemporary critique of technology: Luddism, a verbal and material combat against exploitative machines; communion, a kind of togetherness that stands apart from communication networks; cyberculture, a historical conjunction of automation with racist and militarist machines; distortion, a transformative mode of reading and writing; revolutionary suicide, a willful submission to the risk of political engagement; liberation technology, a synthesis of appropriate technology and liberation theology; and thanatopography, a mapping of planetary technological ethics after Auschwitz and Hiroshima. Dismantlings restores revolutionary language of the radical Long Seventies for reuse in the digital present against emergent technologies of exploitation, subjugation, and death.

He was a big executive in the company and worked all the time. Quality time was extremely important to her, but she could not cajole this man into committing to a date night. She told me, "I've tried everything " and I said, "Well, tell what you've tried, because it's helpful to know both what works and what does not work." So she listed off all the many occasions that she had asked him, at different times and in different ways (because it's not only important what you say and how you say it, but also when you say it). After we made a long list, I turned to her and said, "You've only tried one thing." I actually thought she might smack me: "What do you mean I've only tried one thing? " I said, "You've tried this one thing in a lot of really creative ways...but it seems to me that all you've ever done is talk about it with him. Sounds like talking doesn't work." No matter how she tried to have that conversation--and she had devised a number of creative, kind, and respectful ways to have it--he still would not commit. Plan A had failed, so we devised Plan B...
