I Am America by Stephen Colbert5/9/2023 He bravely takes on the forces aligned to destroy America - whether they be terrorists, environmentalists, or brand-name breakfast cereals - and tackles difficult issues like religion, sexuality, and nature ('I've never trusted the sea. I Am America (And So Can You!) features Stephen's most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on everything from The Family to Race and Immigration and provides the ultimate satirical guide to the glorious marvel that is American Life. His right-wing, super-patriotic persona, his insight and general rightness led to The Colbert Report, a half-hour TV platform for his views on the issues of the day and, more importantly, why everyone else's views are just plain wrong. Stephen Colbert was The Daily Show's longest-running and most memorable correspondent.

The price of salt 19525/8/2023 Patricia Highsmith author of the novel The Price of Salt. / Source: ellmaker However, Carol’s husband (Kyle Chandler) will ask her to choose between keeping her affair with Therese going or the shared custody of their daughter. After they start to regularly meet each other, Carol's flirtatiousness makes Therese become intoxicated with her. Department store clerk and amateur photographer Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara) finds herself attracted to a beautiful and generous customer, Carol (Cate Blanchett). Although it is easy to see the love affair between the two co-protagonists and the conservative patriarchal society as the main topics in the story, resonating universal human emotions are the underlying message. Adapted from a novel from Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) originally known as The Price of Salt (1952), Carol (2015) comes back to life, this time on the big screen, more than half a century later. Douglas richard hofstadter5/8/2023 For each human being, this “I” seems to be the realest thing in the world. Deep down, a human brain is a chaotic seething soup of particles, on a higher level it is a jungle of neurons, and on a yet higher level it is a network of abstractions that we call “symbols.” The most central and complex symbol in your brain or mine is the one we both call “I.” The “I” is the nexus in our brain where the levels feed back into each other and flip causality upside down, with symbols seeming to have free will and to have gained the paradoxical ability to push particles around, rather than the reverse. What do we mean when we say “I”? Can thought arise out of matter? Can a self, a soul, a consciousness, an “I” arise out of mere matter? If it cannot, then how can you or I be here? I Am a Strange Loop argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the “strange loop”-a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains.

Że zdjęcie klątwy miało wyglądać inaczej, ale na skutek nieporozumienia, a być może różnicy w umysłach ludzi i elfów, które ją rzuciły, rozwiązanie się skomplikowało. Że Piękna, a właściwie Piękny, wcale piękny nie jest - jest pokręcony, zgryźliwy i zgorzkniały. Że Bestia to najżyczliwszy i najlepszy z ludzi. Że rzucający ją byli wściekli, najzwyczajniej w świecie ich poniosło i grubo przesadzili. Download for offline reading, highlight, bookmark or take notes while you.

What emerges is an unforgettable story of three journalists forging their place in a land of men, often at great personal sacrifice, and forever altering the craft of war reportage for generations. Arriving herself in the last years of the war, Elizabeth writes as an historian and a witness to what these women accomplished. In You Don't Belong Here, Elizabeth Becker uses these women's work and lives to illuminate the Vietnam War from the 1965 American buildup, through the Tet Offensive, the expansion into Cambodia, the American defeat and its aftermath. Kate Webb, an Australian iconoclast, Catherine Leroy, a French dare devil photographer, and Frances FitzGerald, a blue-blood American intellectual, arrived in Vietnam with starkly different life experiences but one shared purpose: to report on the most consequential story of the decade.Īt a time when women were considered unfit to be foreign reporters, Frankie, Catherine and Kate paid their own way to war, arrived without jobs, challenged the rules imposed on them by the military, ignored the belittlement and resentment of their male peers and found new ways to explain the war through the people who lived through it. Sweet as Honey by Lucy Lennox5/7/2023 other parts of me.Īnd before I know it, I'm thinking being entangled might not be so bad. Secrets that rouse every one of my protective instincts just as surely as his kisses rouse. Secrets someone in this charming small town doesn't want brought to light. It turns out that Truman-adorkably shy, relentlessly sunshiny, hot as all heck, reluctantly-still-a-virgin Truman-has secrets. And the second I got involved, all my plans for a quick departure scattered like pollen on the breeze. More specifically, I saw Truman Sweet, Aster Valley's resident botanist, spice merchant, and bee-costume enthusiast, being harassed. Zero drama.īut then I saw the bumblebee being harassed on the side of the highway. When I rode my bike into Aster Valley, it was supposed to be temporary. |
