EWAN MITCHELL As AEMOND TARGARYEN House Of The Dragon S2E8 - "The Queen Who Ever Was"

NW: Boys Planet (2023)

I just watched the first episode of Boys Planet (I know I'm super late). I went in expecting little but was pleasantly surprised by the talent on display and the minimal scripted bits meant to boost so and so's popularity. My favorite trainees so far are Haruto and Sung Hanbin. My favorite moment was definitely Lip J and Hanbin tutting and whacking (played that part over and over again). I really felt like I was watching SDC; it was that good!

What a sweet and powerful gesture. It's frustrating when people say "what do you expect them to do? they're entertainers not activists!" look at how simple this gesture of solidarity is and how resonant it is! This is wonderful.

Tariffs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIhO4AJ1ZBY 

High tariffs are historically accompanied by extreme wealth gains for the capitalist class

High tariffs may promote the rebirth of domestic manufacturing, but those job/salary gains are offset by an increase in consumer prices

Tariffs artificially inflate the prices of foreign products, and reduce competition for domestic producers, allowing them to jack up prices in turn

Conversely, free trade (ex. NAFTA), destroys domestic manufacturing and enables American companies to offshore manufacturing and pay foreign workers a fraction of what they would have to pay American workers, increasing corporate profits

If Trump was serious about promoting American industry and helping the working class, he would use our tax dollars to fund factory-building, but instead, he wants to cut taxes for the 1%

Trumps wants to use tariffs to fund the gov’t so he can eliminate the progressive income tax

i am sooo normal about criston's loyalty to the greens haha i swear

EP 2 Thoughts

Jiwoong talking about starting in BL dramas and the mentors feeling ~weird~ after his performance 😭😭😭. I’m actually kinda surprised they mentioned his roles. Keita is sooo good! What a voice and he’s so sweet and charming. Sorry but I don’t care about the guy from Pentagon. It’s so obvious they’re creating a redemption storyline for Han Yujin, but once again I’m not moved. The scenes where trainees cry after achieving their goals (moving up a star-level) really drove home what I love about the produce shows: being able to witness people’s journeys to achieve their dreams. And last but not least, TOYONAGA TAKUTO!!!!❤️
