    Blackpilled - Masculinity Media...

    Incels – involuntary celibates – are often cast as violent, misogynistic loners, consumed by resentment towards women. With shocking tragedies like the 2014 Isla Vista killings and the 2024 Bondi Junction stabbings heightening fears about the threat they pose, understanding this phenomenon has never been more crucial.
    But it's important not to view incels as aliens who came down to earth on women-hating spaceships from a distant women-hating planet. Though their belief system – referred to as the 'blackpill' – is no doubt extreme, they haven't constructed it from nothing. These young men are shaped by the media they consume and the society that surrounds us.
    In Blackpilled, Meadhbh Park takes an unflinching look at the incel movement through the lenses of masculinity and media studies. Drawing on interviews with incels across the globe and analysing cultural touchstones such as The Matrix, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, Euphoria, Joker and Blade Runner 2049, Park uncovers the origins of their beliefs and what they really think. She also examines potential ways to help incels break free from the nihilistic and hate-fuelled grip of the blackpill.
    With extremist misogyny on the rise and governments debating whether incels should be labelled a terror threat, Blackpilled delivers urgent, thought-provoking conclusions that couldn't be more timely.

    Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
    What would you do if you were a lonely lesbian with a crush on her boss who just happened upon a magical piece of soap that might make all your dreams come true? Would you end up in a threesome, sandwiched between her and your co-worker, getting served on both ends at the same time? Well, what if you really, really, really like your butt to be played with as well? Well, fine, but don't blame me for enjoying myself. Sheesh, everyone's a critic. 
    Anyway, this first part of Soap Magic contains awkward masturbation, less awkward lesbian flirting and enthusiastic lesbian sex with three very eager participants, one of which just happens to like anal a lot. Also contains soap magic.

    The Hell Bomb by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist William L. Laurence is a sobering, meticulously detailed account of the dawn of the hydrogen bomb era. Written in the early 1950s, this scientific and political examination offers a front-row perspective on one of the most terrifying technological advancements in human history. Drawing on firsthand experiences from his time at Los Alamos and exclusive interviews with leading figures such as Hans A. Bethe, Laurence unpacks the terrifying potential of thermonuclear fusion and its unparalleled destructive power. 
    More than just a scientific treatise, The Hell Bomb wrestles with the ethical dilemmas and geopolitical consequences of nuclear armament in a rapidly changing post–World War II world. Laurence urges the public to confront the moral weight of such weapons and consider the path humanity must choose as it stands on the brink of unimaginable devastation. 
    Narrated with gravity and insight by Nathan Edwards, this audiobook remains a critical historical document and a powerful warning from the nuclear age's front lines.

    On a late September day in 480 BC, Greek warships faced an invading Persian armada in the narrow Salamis Straits in the most important naval battle of the ancient world. Overwhelmingly outnumbered by the enemy, the Greeks triumphed through a combination of strategy and deception. More than two millennia after it occurred, the clash between the Greeks and Persians at Salamis remains one of the most tactically brilliant battles ever fought. The Greek victory changed the course of western history—halting the advance of the Persian Empire and setting the stage for the Golden Age of Athens. 
     
     
     
    In this dramatic new narrative account, historian and classicist Barry Strauss brings this landmark battle to life. He introduces us to the unforgettable characters whose decisions altered history: Themistocles, Athens' great leader (and admiral of its fleet), who devised the ingenious strategy that effectively destroyed the Persian navy in one day; Xerxes, the Persian king who fought bravely but who ultimately did not understand the sea; Aeschylus, the playwright who served in the battle and later wrote about it; and Artemisia, the only woman commander known from antiquity, who turned defeat into personal triumph. Filled with the sights, sounds, and scent of battle, The Battle of Salamis is a stirring work of history.

    The Housemaid’s Revolt reimagines the domestic thriller as a political act. Beneath the surface of servitude and civility, it uncovers a world built on invisible labor, quiet endurance, and the myth of gratitude. The housemaid is no longer a background figure — she becomes a philosopher of survival, observing the architecture of power from inside its walls. Her revolt is not an explosion but an awakening: the decision to stop cleaning up the messes of others, to stop mistaking obedience for goodness. A modern parable of class, gender, and rebellion, this book transforms the symbol of the servant into a mirror of the modern condition — where exploitation wears a smile, and rebellion begins with a refusal to disappear.
