I wonder if my high school still has "keyboarding class"

It's effectively a life sentence, which he started serving years before the trial even started. IMO this was always the plan. As soon as GovHK had him locked up, they were never going to let him out, one way or the other. They'll make the usual excuses, but they know exactly what they're doing.

pretty incredible, making it sound like a guy who owned a newspaper was a serial killer with a fridge full of human heads

Hirundo was a cargo & passenger steamer plying between Shantou & SE Asia. In 1930 it was raided by pirates but unusually the pirates commanded the chef to prepare them a banquet & afterwards complimented him on its excellence. A rather classy touch I have to say….

Congratulations to Hong Kong's Auxiliary Medical Service, for setting a Guinness World Record for... "most pairs of people applying arm slings simultaneously," with 1,950 arm slings using triangular bandages www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/...

really sounds like the National Day propaganda snorefest films that are mysteriously sold out (because your company is forcing you to see it on Party orders)

lol

A lot of cars on the road in #Beijing tonight. Perhaps the run up to the Spring Festival? This was approaching midnight. #China

Mainland netizens were fucking pissed off. Some have pointed out the state media's hypocrisy. On Jan 1, Dr Li was a malicious rumour monger. By Feb 7, when the man was dead and cold, Dr Li was a hero for alerting everyone of COVID. "There were no rumours, only lies" Source: Telegram (Feb 2020)

A rare "disaster postcard" of the PS Hankow, a paddle steamer that was gutted by fire in 1906 in HK with the loss of 130 Chinese lives. This postcard was posted from HK in 1907 where it must have been purchased... It shows a large crowd watching the ship burn, along with people inside it!!

Some chives on a bright autumn day Caused old Du Fu to shout out: "Hooray! My fire's depleted -- Why shouldn't I eat it, Whatever physicians may say?"

I must say it's quite visually striking to have the KMT vice-chairman speaking in Beijing with this full red backdrop.

It's rather impressive how this has gone wrong beyond the usual predictable ways.

Having to walk past a construction site every morning, I would like to spray every one of them in the face with a water pistol

for no reason at all Youtube sent me the Beijing Olympics song "Beijing welcomes you". 78 celebrities from China, HK, TW, Singapore sang the song in 2008. and the comment section, wow, it's all nostalgia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6gs...

Welp.

This is the exact same garbage Chinese state media and Western tankies were peddling about Hong Kong in 2019. The fact people can autonomously band together, pool resources, rally donations, and organise is truly unthinkable to some folks. Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean others can't.

Lol we don't have a legislative branch anymore

Hong Kong authorities shocked by teenage fan fervour some 60 years after Beatlemania, with “fans running towards the standing area next to the stage as soon as they hurried down the steps, even though security guards told them not to run & tried to maintain order.” www.scmp.com/news/hong-ko...

Macau's Directorate of Public Works announced a public consultation for a proposed Macau LRT master plan beyond 2029 when the East Line (pink) begins service. It calls for - East Line & Seac Pai Van Line extensions - West Line - South Line (terminus at HKZMB) - Taipa North Line - Taipa Central Line

It took 14, FOURTEEN years, to find that the HK Marine Dept inspectors - like the HK Building Dept's scaffolding inspectors, etc - are incompetent and useless. Such a sad indictment of the state of the various departments within the HK Government.

The FCC social media team is alive apparently

David Webb, a Hong Kong activist investor who campaigned for market transparency and democratic accountability, died on Tuesday aged 60, according to a statement posted on his social media. In full: buff.ly/1WFZY7N

[Designation]: The vile abomination designated Silica Animus is an arch-heresy of the highest order, to be eradicated utterly & without mercy. [Mandate]: Such is the will of the Omnissiah, in accordance with the Lex Imperialis. [Decree]: By holy Mars, the Omnissiah's Will be done.

Should be a job for the Ecclesiarchy but I'd wager the pilot prefers his onboard cogitator anointed with sacred motor oil from a true priest of the Omnissiah

They used to have really great history programmes ...
