It appears that pretty much all Hong Kong-based newsfluencers, even those with international bylines or appearances, got a memo within the last 12 hours that they should shut up about the deadly fire, or else face consequences. Related: the city's "Patriots-only" legislature has elections Sunday

This is a good time to remind everyone that the HK government has been trying to get rid of bamboo in order to cater to their pals in the China steel industry who cannot get into the HK construction market. This was a regulatory/safety failure. Not a materials one.

International media, you can do better than this. "Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

Today’s poem is considered to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus. It’s called ‘The Caveman’s Lament’.
The Caveman’s Lament
 
me think about her when sun rises
me think about her when sun sets
me say to her how much me love her
she tell me love invent not yet
 
me make cave all warm and cosy
me lie bearskin on cave floor
me play song of love on bone flute
she choose cave of Tim next door
 
me no more go out hunt mammoth
me throw spear too short or long
me sit in cave me paint her picture 
she say me got perspective wrong
 
me cook meal to show me love her —
diplodocus with fried beans —
she say food anachronistic
me not know what this means
 
stone age mighty hard for lovers
yet rub two flints look what you get
small sparks lead to big inferno
but she say love invent not yet


homo unrequitus

Five years ago today, tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Hongkongers marched as day into night to try to get the government to listen to them and respect their wishes... 🥹
A van with activists atop it and a banner with messages including "Justice against police brutality; Defend our rights; Five demands, not one less" on its side at the end of the march route.Young and old, including parents and their young children, attended this non-violent protest march.Protest marchers, cheered on by supporters/fellow protestors taking a break and standing on a bypass overhead, raise five fingers to signal "five demands".After darkness fell, protest marchers took out their phones and shone their lights to create a virtual sea of lights along the march route.
