It appears that pretty much all Hong Kong-based newsfluencers, even those with international bylines or appearances, got a memo within the last 12 hours that they should shut up about the deadly fire, or else face consequences.

This is a good time to remind everyone that the HK government has been trying to get rid of bamboo in order to cater to their pals in the China steel industry who cannot get into the HK construction market.
This was a regulatory/safety failure.
Not a materials one.

Western media fearmongering about bamboo scaffoldings as unsafe and outdated while most of their SFHs and low-rise buildings are entirely made of wood

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.

Happily growing on a stone path on my allotment (there are wood chips under the stones). A pretty little strophariaceae - I think this is a redlead Roundhead.

@spacekittyexpress.bsky.social was talking to one of my mum’s neighbours recently- her cat Smudge has never reacted to catnip. I gave her one of your puffs in silvervine and apparently he went mental over it, to the extent that they couldn’t get it off him.. another satisfied customer 😹
