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.

wtf lmao. I wonder how one makes such a mistake? (for those who cannot read Chinese, the author confuses me with a completely different person, eg the name in Chinese is not my name).

just finished murakami’s latest novel “the city and its uncertain walls” and really loved it. it reminded me a lot of my relationship with hong kong, in a weird feverish dream kind of way.

attached a screenshot. the phone number was my first hong kong cellphone number that i had for a long time. i still have lokman.org. i havent been the webmaster for wongkarwai.net since 2007 or so. bye bye, icq. we had a lot of good times together.

lokman tsui @lokman.org · 27/05/2024

it turns out i was able to guess my icq password. so what's still there? 1. i saw my contact list, and it surprised me how many nicknames i still remembered. but also many nicknames that ran familiar, but i dont remember the person behind it. 2. i can edit my profile or delete my account.

DW: "do you believe he's lying?" ma: "well, his name is Lai" there are so many dumb takes in this interview, but i don't know why this particular "joke" stood out to me ... perhaps because it was so unnecessary and cheap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZcQ...
