What the hell is up with China these days?

I know they've been pretty bad for a pretty long time (politics and government's been shitty for decades) but I read about some new laws in the Norwegian Aftenposten paper.

So their leader, Xi Jinping, have decided that

Kids under 18 can't play more than three hours videogames a week.

Private tutoring is basically illegal (especially if the teachers are foregin), and he also crammed some new obligatory curriculum into all school grades. This stuff's called Xi Jinping's teachings.

TV-programs that shows feminine men and idols (like Lu Han, a popular Chinese idol) are no longer OK on TV. Like, what?? Apparently because it's showing off the "wrong appreciation of beauty".

It's insane how much the Chinese government wants to control the population and their daily lives. Do you guys know how little 3 hours a week is!? And what did Lu Han ever do to you??

(In the sources (the underlined words above in the text) y'all can read more 'bout it.)

A subscriber to the Aftenposten (1887). Oda Krohg (Norwegian, 1860-1935). Oil on canvas. Nasjonalmuseet.

Oda was a central figure in the anti-culture movement of the Kristiania Bohemians (Kristiania-bohemen) in the 1880s and 1890s. Her public image as the "Bohemian Princess" has to some extent obscured the impression of a competent painter.

English translation of Aftenposten interview

You can find a translation of the interview here. It’s a very in-depth and interesting interview and definitely worth a read!

I know a lot of you don’t care, but I don’t care that you don’t tbh.. 

I went to see Harry Styles live on tour yesterday, and it was great and all that jazz! I would just like to point out that in all the major Norwegian publications, they only sent guys to review the show. They all gave him 4/6, which is alright tbh. However the audience was 85% young women, I would argue that around 50% of those were over 18. All the reporters mentioned the prepubescent girls that is his fans, entirely overlooking that a lot of us were young teenagers when 1D started out, but just like them, we are now in our 20′s. And they all mentioned that Harry must’ve hated being in 1D because he’s really wants to play “dad rock” music. 1. Can we erase the term “dad rock” ‘cause I know for a fact that a lot of young girls enjoys that kind of music as well as pure pop music. 2. Harry has repeatedly said he loved being in 1D and he loves  performing the 1D songs. 3. They all said his suit was velvet, which it clearly wasn’t so why mention it when you didn’t pay attention properly. 4. Maybe it would have been a good idea to send someone who the show was meant for, and someone who actually did some research on him and the relationship he has with his fans.
