Hong Kong’s national security police have reportedly arrested an independent journalist behind an online news outlet on suspicion of publishing fake news. hongkongfp.com/2026/09/30/n...

Sure, but have you checked with the Executive Director of the Institute for Corporate Governance's Executive Commission on the Accompaniment and Monitoring of Societies' Codes of Governance? Because I have, and she had some pretty good ideas. Also that's the real job title of a real person.

I made a prediction, based only on the poster, that a certain movie would be terrible. I just read a review where it got 1/5 stars. The critic said it got that one star because there was a dog. This makes me irrationally happy.

We can assume that Zod is still speaking Kryptonese, which Superman, given that he left the planet as a baby, presumably doesn't know. Thus Superman is just listening, baffled, as this alien guy jabbers on about something. If we hear it in English, it's because the movie people translated it for us.

I had just recovered from _The Cry of the Crow_ a few years earlier when a teacher gave me a copy of FfA. Damnnnn.

This is a very unsurprising report (at least for anyone in HK). But unsurprising things must also be documented.

I met Newsom when he came to Hong Kong. He's charismatic and witty but he hears what he wants to, and as such is not the political force of nature he imagines himself to be.

One thing I am looking forward to this fall is no longer waking up early on what I know is going to be a hot day. I don't mind that, per se, but I hate the existential dread that comes with it nowadays.

I just looked up AOC's age and she's old enough already.

Because of the lack of non car oriented infrastructure, there is often nowhere else for them to run.

I also remember it vividly (although I was in Hong Kong at the time). I was at that time reading the online version and the Holy Fucking Shit headline was certainly in the online version. I didn't see the paper version. Did it come out immediately? Or later?

I suspect that was only online.

This is what I remember too. And wasn't there a proposal to build a new structure of 5 towers, with the middle one extended upwards?

Do you have a funny idea for a little comic type thing that you want to share on social media? I would prefer, by a thousand times, to see your badly scribbled attempt at a drawing on the back of a napkin over an artificially created image.

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social What do you think of the idea of making 9/25 Dolly Parton Day? (You have dibs, I think.)

Went to a poetry slam/reading session/gathering thing this evening for the first time since moving to Lisbon. It remjnded me that there is nothing that will ever replace an honest, live, first time reading by a poet who's standing there right in front of you.

Gosh, I'll definitely use this phrase with my elderly relative whom I just love to bits! She'll be so happy to hear me say it!!!

Meanwhile, Durian Land in Tin Hau has never received a single complaint about odors?

I saw a response to the absurd piece about the "Mediterranean lifestyle" and didn't know he had a history of this stuff. Makes sense!

Jan Lee @janleewriter.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Ah yes! I see it now. The other possibility is some kind of autocorrect and/or speech-to-text problem, perhaps. But only if you Really want To give him the Benefit of the Doubt.

Does he capitalize Words randomly, or only Nouns? (If it is the Latter, the Guy you're talking to might be German.)
