Climate change is real, people

[Joel Chan @kjoules]

With the Hong Kong Observatory registering a temperature of 33.1°C today, 2025 marks the first time in Hong Kong’s recorded history there were at least 4 “very hot days” in the month of October which the mercury rose above 33°C

[Joel Chan @kjoules]

Flightradar24 says it passed at a barometric altitude at 925 feet, which is lower than the height of 9 skyscrapers in Hong Kong, incl.:
ICC (1588 ft)
IFC2 (1352ft)
Central Plaza (1227ft)
Bank of China (1205ft)
The Center (1135ft)
1 Island East (978ft)
Victoria Dockside (935ft)

My bookshelf section of some of @michaelxpettis recommendations over the years. What I admire about his intellectual curiosity is he values authors who offer even one brilliant insight, regardless of how much he disagrees with their other views. Most of these authors align with my thinking, but even those I often disagree with (Lardy, Hudson) have taught me a great deal.
The lesson is to approach reading with enough humility to recognize that valuable insights can exist alongside views you contest.
Please add any books/authors I am missing.

@foodpandahk absolute worst customer service ever! No solve provided at all

Iron Man made $585M worldwide.

Then came the real genius:

Instead of making random sequels, they planned an entire universe of connected movies.

Nobody had ever attempted this in cinema history.

GovHK has purchased the broadcast rights to the Paris Olympics and will be aired for free on TVB, ViuTV, Hoy TV, and RTHK. It's believed there will be a minimum of 900 hours of coverage, similar to Tokyo

Environmental conservation organisation Greeners Action has calculated that Hong Kong has used roughly 8.6 billion disposable masks throughout the pandemic.

For hygiene reasons they haven't been recycled, so end up in landfill or oceans etc.

@TonyGibson1976 hi! Please check your DM.

@GlobalBlueGroup @globalbluehelp Berlin airport completely backed up and absolutely no way to receive tax refund custom stamps as offices were closed. Airport queues were already 4+ hours. Can you advise?

@DrDOwens Outdoor masking has minimal benefit, I agree with @DrDOwens that it adversely affects the credibility of health officials

I would recommend rescinding the outdoor mask mandate as soon as possible

Requiring masks to be worn during sporting activities will do more harm than good
