We have been used to seeing shocking arrests in #HongKong.

This requires the most robust of responses by the free world

[Luke de Pulford @lukedepulford]

Winning an election is subversion of the state.

Ok then.

A reminder that we signed a treaty promising to protect #HongKong from stuff like this. Where are those promises now?

Me trying to ask someone for a favor: Hey could you help me with this thing? Absolutely no pressure though. Totally ok if you can’t. If you’d rather run me over with a car that’s cool. Are you mad at me?

40 mins on the phone to @ANZ_AU to repeatedly be told that they can't do direct debits from other banks on IO loans. Why? #stupidpolicy

In the context of a #hack weekend such a team huddle is a sign of smthng either really really good or horribly bad.
