Latest on the residential apartment building fires in Hong Kong: 7 buildings burned, 44 confirmed killed, hundreds still missing. Early reports say the fire was not spread by the widely-used bamboo scaffolding but by the protective nets, canvas and plastic coverings on the buildings. 😔 #HongKong

It is brilliant from start to finish. 🙏

Srsly, if THIS 👇 tweet by Tony Windsor doesn't win Peter FitzSimons' Political Tweet of the Year 2025, I will be very disappointed. This is the best tweet I've read in ages. 😂 #auspol #BarnabyJoyce #Nationals

Hey! That's exactly what I did! 😂

The video footage is terrifying as it seems to show fire exploding, throwing flames and debris, as the blaze jumped from apartment building to apartment building. Seven out of eight buildings in the housing complex ablaze. 13 people killed, incl. a fire-fighter, and dozens injured. 😔 #HongKongFire

The scenes of 7 high rise apartment buildings on fire in Hong Kong on Wed 26Nov2025 are deeply disturbing. Latest reports: 13 dead. #HongKong

Whenever I think: I'll try watching #SamPangTonight, I see a TikTok clip revealing its excruciatingly unfunny dated blokey-dope 1970's style humour. Why would Pang raise the topic of a chimpanzee upskirting women with Priscilla Presley? It was crass sexism back then. It's creepy #sexism now.

Thank you. Excellent video. So why are some films and tv shows STILL showing the phone screen with blurred illegible text? Or on-screen too briefly to read the text being shown? I find it very frustrating.

Agreed. "Sherlock" made excellent use of on-screen graphics, diagrams, equations or text that unpacked plot points or ideas clearly, without being a distraction.

Dear film/tv producers,
When characters send texts essential to the plot, could you please have the texts appear on-screen as infographics, as in the tv series "Sherlock" (top). Trying to read them off a phone screen, even by pausing the video, is nearly impossible, eg "Reckless" (bottom). 🙄 📺

I don't think the MAGA Christians, mega-church Christian pastors or the Christian Nationalists in the USA have read the Book of Acts in a while. #USPolitics #religion #charity #fellowship #Christianity

Sky News After Dark does Pauline Hanson style ranty lunatic Islamophobia. Seven News does Liberal Party style "measured, respectful" Islamophobia. Both are platforming ignorant, unfactual, racist fear-mongering hate-speech. #auspol #NoRoomForRacism

If One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson doesn't receive a nice set of salt & pepper shakers from her staffers for Christmas this year, they're not paying attention. Or, they don't like her. 😏 🎄 🎁 #auspol

As our Pacific Island neighbours pleaded for their very survival at COP30, more than 1,600 industry lobbyists crashed the party, joining forcing with the Saudis and Russians to kibosh the phase-out of fossil fuels.

Jordan Baker has been appointed the new editor of Nine's Sydney Morning Herald as Bevan Shields steps down. Could we please see a return to quality substantive journalism rather than the tabloid trash gossip mag clickbait sprinkled amongst the Harvey Norman ads we currently see? #JournalismMatters

Barnaby Joyce DID defend Pauline Hanson's burqa stunt. I don't think Barnaby Joyce has any principles. #auspol

The Federal Government has been trying to rush through a change that would allow police and the Home Affairs Minister to cancel someone’s Centrelink payment if they are suspected of a serious crime.

The Government is trying to push through changes that will weaken our environment laws.

This is the same Government that changed environment laws to protect the toxic salmon industry, and continues to approve fossil fuels for decades to come.
