We may not know our neighbours' names or socialise with them but Hongkongers will help complete strangers when the need arises. I've seen it time and time again. Including in 2019.

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.

Folks often forget the fight for democracy in HK isn’t a “Beijing vs us” thing in matters of human rights - I mean that matters too - but also the fight for local representation so that problems like these don’t get swept under the rug
This 2024 post from the DAB’s Peggy Wong is quickly becoming infamous.

In it, the pro-Beijing district councillor dismisses fire safety concerns about the Wang Fuk work as malicious rumours misleading the public, and accuses the Democratic Party of “provocatively live-streaming “ from the scene.

Absolutely heartless by the trump admin.
DHS has announced the end of temporary immigration protections for Haitians.

The decision, effective Feb. 3, 2026, affects up to more than a half million Haitians. They now face returning to a country plagued by criminal gangs that control all major roads into the capital Port-au-Prince.
Trump says Haiti no longer meets requirements for TPS. Haitians have to leave
The Department of Homeland Security said TPS for Haiti ends Feb. 3, 2026, affecting over half a million people who may face return to gang-controlled Port-au-Prince.

Tomorrow the Thai supreme court will hear an appeal (By the prosecution) on Narin's case in which he was acquitted by the court of appeal of putting “กูkult” stickers on a portrait of the king during a protest in 2020.

Unclear whether the HK government is scared of LGBT+ or 5DN1L but it’s funny either way how they freak out over a few fingers
In case you missed it, government authorities banned the selling of T-shirts with an image showing the hand sign for "LGBT+" in HK Sign language for no apparent reason at the Pride Event last Sunday.

Danish social workers are still pressuring Greenlandic women to get abortions, they did this before FKU was banned on Inuit, and they're continuing today. They're desperate to stop Inuit from existing in Danish society.

Trevor Phillips is a disgusting “bolt the door behind you” pick me who is happy for people who look like him to suffer and the Times is no different from Der Stürmer for printing this.
Trevor Phillips proposes banning "remittances" (ie: imposing currency/exchange controls on international cash transfers by foreign nationals from Britain). He says this would disincentivise immigration, in a Times piece saying the Home Secretary needs to go [much] further
