Japanese people are really into their toilets, so it makes sense that Japanese bears are as well.

Really hard to process the scope of it all.

I get that it's international news, still weird to see my hometown news station covering it.

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.

"Flame-retardant nets – taking nets of the size seen in the fire as an example, 18×2 metres – costs about HK$75 to $90 per piece.

The same size but without the fireproof performance will cost $40 to $50 per piece, so it provides an incentive for some to take risks."

Horrifying.
And... I don't remember anything even remotely like this happening here during the decade we've been here.
There are fires in the hills, and in specific apartments. But this kind of fully-engulfed buildings? I didn't think that would happen.

Did you guys hear about the Georgia man who died in a scuba diving accident after which family looked in the backyard treehouse and found the skeletal remains of his missing adult son? It’s such a weird story and I need there to be any kind of resolution.

"Felching" sounds like it should be Yiddish until you find out what it means.

I still don't think anything can beat "Turn Your Head and Coif" but this comes surprisingly close and actually exists.
