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. π #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). π πΊ

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. π π π #auspol

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 someoneβs 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.

Doesn't Senator Pauline Hanson know you can buy the Saxa salt (125g) and pepper (50g) shakers for the dinner table, rather than plonking a 750g Saxa salt container on the table in front of your guest?! π² #auspol #etiquette

Dear @senatorthorpe.bsky.social Thank you for speaking of the vilification exp'd by 16yo Zaina, simply for wearing a necklace celebrating her Palestinian heritage. Also: the Federal Court ruled opposing Zionism and criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic. π π #auspol #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine
