H&M has confirmed that its Causeway Bay flagship on Paterson Street will serve its last customers on February 21, 2026 due to the expiration of its lease.

@hkmovielocations.bsky.social A bit of spotting homework for you 😉 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Not to do the thing again, but hard to imagine how Obama would have made it to year two in office if he raked in billions in year one.

the very last person who should be prattling on about the dangers of inexperience is the grifting troglodyte who killed millions when he was put in charge of “efficiency”

China’s high-speed rail network now covers 50,000 km.

Correct - Russian population is 14-15% Muslim - and it's a land of massive ethnic and cultural diversity. Putin apologists don't understand it in the slightest.

Happy 8th anniversary to the Churchill Anus Society.

I wouldn't tell anyone I won the lottery, but there would be signs. ⏩

You know, you can't really be a mega-events hub if your events can be cancelled without explanation, or if the explanation is force majeure or the central govt's diplomatic dust-ups or whatever.

664,660 residents left Hong Kong on Christmas Day, according to Immigration data. Most popular checkpoints: - Lo Wu 137,967 - Lok Ma Chau (Spur) 126,755 - Shenzhen Bay 101,388 - HKZMB 85,821 - West Kowloon 61,482 - Airport 58,808

no. furthermore, fuck no. you do not have to sacrifice your peace to appease someone just because you share dna. you just don't.

You could easily find 660 vehicles per day to fine. Instead, we have a weak Government that kowtows to various sectors, that vote for them.

This is good. Although, something inside me, thinks they’ve always known who the bad players are, and because of recent events, they are now being forced to act, or as it’s better known, DOING YOUR JOB!

To all my followers:

Merry Christmas everyone, and spare a thought for those we have lost www.rfi.fr/en/internati...

Nat King Cole releases his 4th and most-famous recording of “The Christmas Song” today in 1961. Years earlier, songwriters Mel Tormé and Bob Wells had taken it to Nat King Cole’s house. “Play that again,” Cole said. They did, but before they finished, Cole said, “Stop everything. That's my song.”

Alice Cooper serving food at a shelter. Jon Bon Jovi washing dishes at his restaurant that feeds homeless people. THAT's why they're both rock stars.

Waiting for Lady Penelope to arrive.

Reform UK are learning the hard way that it's easy to shout insults at the players from the touchline. Far harder to get up on the pitch and play. They've been an absolute disaster wherever they are elected.

Reform UK-led Derbyshire council announce closure of eight residential care homes just days before Christmas. That's going to spell misery and considerable upset for hundreds of vulnerable people and their carers. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

O come, all ye faithful. The President is posting.

this is some of the most white girl fighting I’ve ever seen in my life and I went to Tulane university (seafoam dress excepted)

On the first day of southbound vehicles yesterday, mainland driver realizes how few parking spots there are in Hong Kong, parks illegally in Yau Ma Tei to grab a quick bite to eat, gets slapped with a $320 fine www.hk01.com/article/6030...

#Plur1bus finale just dropped (in Asia). Yikes, Season 2 is going to be explosive.

CNBC just did an 11-minute "interview" with Peter Navarro. The ENTIRE segment was done with Joe Kernen. Zero pushback on his nonsense on who pays for the tariffs. Where was @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social ?

Hong Kong continues to adopt Mainland standards.

Good god.

This is kind of cool. 9to5mac.com/2025/12/19/e...

Definitive proof that in Sadiq Khan's London, Christmas has been cancelled altogether www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Of course it was a Tesla that was involved in the first-ever accident on the Bypass. Just as bad as BMW/Audi drivers.

Imagine doing stellar investigative reporting on a crucial topic of public interest and instead of amplifying and promoting it, YOU TRY TO ERASE IT. Journalism is officially dead at CBS News and I feel sorry for the remaining journalists at my former network.

We are Charlie Kirk…

$10k in security guards can’t protect you from your own embarrassment

It's the least important element to this, but I find it fascinating on an aesthetic level too. Americans are watching a bootleg broadcast that someone in Canada recorded off their TV. And people are copying it to various platforms (however imperfect visually) to get it out as widely as possible.

It looks like the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT was accidentally released in Canada. It'll be really interesting to compare this to whatever version Weiss might eventually release.

It's a camera recording off TV screen, so until there is a better version download and spread it before it's gone.
