PAINT WITH LOVE - SHOW REVIEW

Aug 12, 2022

Paint With Love is one of those shows that didn't get much attention apart for staring Singto in it, and that is something that I think is undeserved. The show has a very solid story about two very different characters, business man Maz and chaotic painter Phab, clashing with each other and ultimately being drawn to each other. Of course, and not just with these two but so many other characters in it, the main theme of the show is also "miscommunication", gosh there were sooooo many problems between the characters that simply could have been avoided if they managed to communicate directly what is up with them, especially Maz is someone very guilty of that accusation. I found the show very enjoyable and very adult. I was also surprised that it had a bit of a comedic critic of the going-ons behind the BL industry, albeit nothing too serious. If you want to watch the show, it can be found on Gagaoolala, with the first episode being available for

Book Review - Hitler's American Model

Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law If you read this book and are fiercely pro-American than you might get pretty enraged. If you are anti-American, this will be a feast. Based on the title you would be correct to assume that it deals with segregation in the US South, however, that is only a small part of it. The book is a short study on the interest the makers of the Nuremberg Laws had in and what inspiration they took from the US Race laws. Fun fact, based on the author this fact is actually known for a time by now but having constantly been downplayed because the American race laws did not deal with Jews, however I agree with the author that this is a bad line of reasoning because by that line “inspiration” would only be there if direct copying was involved but inspiration usually is not meant to mean that, in fact in art such copying would be considered plagiarizing. However, the facts are pretty strong when it comes to the claim that not

Book-Review: The People's Republic of Amnesia

Jun 6, 2022

Link: The People's Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited by Louisa Lim | Goodreads There is an interesting allegory for Chinese politics. It is like the air in northern China. "If you can't breathe, you'll die. If you breathe, you'll be infected by these viruses. The air is so polluted, but who can't breathe?" I can definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to know about the uprisings in 1989 China. Of course it begins with the Tiananmen square and its history (like its original Manchu name meaning "Gate of Heaven's pacification"), and goes to the most prominent military dissenter at the time, Xu Qinxian, and according to a classified speech 21 officers at division level command or higher and 90 others of lesser rank had "breached discipline in a serious manner". Leadership was suddenly reshuffled, and ammunition taken away from soldiers after the square had been cleared. The CCP seems to have been paranoid about troop loyalty, mutiny and armed uprising.
