Cool Stuff I Saw: August 2021
August? Already? What's next, September?! Huh?!
Life
- I appreciate this Tweet talking about milestones in people's lives. It makes me uncomfortable when people are like "they're X years old, of course they've done Y!" I have still not done a lot of things that someone of my own age should have, and it makes me feel so inadequate. (Link)
- I found out about Phomemo's thermal printers. They are very cute. If it could print in colour I think I would consider buying one. (Link)
- Went down memory lane and looked up Mother House stuff again. (Link)
- Great bread marketing. (Link)
Chinese Literature
- I'm trying to clear out my browser bookmarks, so here are a ton of Chinese poems I've bookmarked. (賀知章 - 回鄉偶書二首) (岳飛 - 小重山) (李白 - 將進酒) (馬致遠 - 天淨沙·秋思) (辛棄疾 - 醜奴兒·書博山道中壁) (白居易 - 長恨歌) (上邪) (蘇軾 - 江城子) (文天祥 - 過零丁洋) (李煜 - 虞美人) (杜甫 - 春望) (孟郊 - 遊子吟) (杜牧 - 江南春) (杜牧 - 秋夕) (王安石 - 梅花) (王維 - 送元二使安西) (蘇軾 - 水調歌頭) (張若虛 - 春江花月夜) (李白 - 静夜思) (王之渙 - 登鸛雀樓) (李白 - 獨坐敬亭山) (明代于謙 - 荒村)
Sports
- I was looking for some pictures on Chen Yuxi and Zhang Jiaqi, the gold medal winners for the Olympic 10m platform synchronized diving event. They are only 15 and 17 years old. (Link)
- I remember this test from years ago made by BBC to match people up with sports that would suit their body type and personality. (Link)
- Guan Chenchen's parents cheering for her as she won gold in the balance beam event. (Link)
- A thread about what the original closing ceremony for Tokyo 2020 was supposed to look like :o (Link)
Video Games
- Pikachu scaring Eevee :3 (Link)
Internet
- A thread about unsuccessfully trying to be friends with someone online v.v I definitely get that feeling when I want to be friends with someone to little success and I see them in animated interactions with other people online. (Link)
- I don't remember if I've ever linked them, but someone brought up their grievances regarding Xiran Jay Zhao and now it will forever bother me. (Link 1) (Link 2)
- This Tweet may have been about me, since I did leave long comments on a few of their fics in rapid succession before they tweeted this. (Link)
- Post about Kpop fandom on Twitter. (Link)
Asian History and Culture
- Here's a link for the movie The Burning of Imperial Palace 火燒圓明園. It didn't feel right putting this under the entertainment section so I'm putting it under a history section. (Link)
- I only found out about the Yasukuni Shrine recently, and the Wikipedia page surrounding its controversies is quite long to say the least. (Link)
- A thread about finding pride in one's Chinese heritage. (Link)
- Along the River during the Qingming Festival was brought up when I was reading Death's End. (Link)
Western Entertainment
- I only heard the Space Jam theme song for the first time this month, and it is a BOP. (Link)
Chinese Entertainment
- Updates on the Kris Wu situation. As evidence is confirmed and the situation becomes clearer, the truth becomes uglier. It's horrific that this was happening under our noses. I keep forgetting which pieces of information are confirmed and which are rumours, but so far it seems that a lot of what was said has turned out to be true. What just struck me was that when the initial rumours came out, I was extremely shocked. Now that I've calmed down, I can take the news better, but the thing is, a lot of the rumours were proved true! I can't imagine if all of this was broken to us as confirmed instead of as a rumour. (Link 1) (Link 2)
- I learned about Yammie Lam :( She accused Eric Tsang and Alan Tang of rape. I honestly will not see Eric Tsang the same way from now on. (Link)
- Related to recent scandals in Chinese and Korean entertainment. "Only" treating women badly is kind of a big deal. (Link)
On a lighter note:
- Yixing was giving Zhang Zifeng a lot of guidance when recording a song. Yixing was very encouraging but also gave her a lot of pointers. (Link)
