This disappearing city

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@Lee_Cobaj @johnherbert Arg - I know the feeling and it massively sucks. Just lost my card holder last week, absolutely no idea how. I wish I had a small location beacon in that (why I have for my appartment key… and I haven’t lost it since I did that of course 😅)

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@moorehn Had no idea and - damn, we could have done without that 🙄
Lyndon Johnson should be taught in schools.

@moorehn Class act but also why (the f) are men

[Tom Grundy @tomgrundy]

1/ 🚨@HKFP's most in-depth investigation yet: https://t.co/0zDRYylyRY

Research by @ARaquelCarvalho has found that over 700 domestic workers have faced life-threatening illnesses in places like Hong Kong over the past five years - however, many were abandoned by employers, agents, and governments. 🇭🇰🇸🇬🇵🇭🇮🇩

3 of the women interviewed died in recent months.

@moorehn (And I’m being generous with the live like a drug lord quip. Could be live like late date days Michael Jackson, what do I know)

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@moorehn Out; talk like a Nazi
In: live like a drug lord

@lidlfrance hey Liddle France, j’ai peut être perdu un porte cartes sur le parking thé votre magasin de St Julien en Genevois.
Comment les contacter sachant que je n’ai pas particulièrement envie de faire 25km en voiture pour revisiter le site?

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

And why do you think the international community isn’t supportive of your initiative?

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: We’re asking the UN to call on Iran to stop blowing up ships, remove the mines, and allow humanitarian relief.

If the international community can’t rally behind this and solve something so straightforward, then I don’t know what the utility of the UN system is.

@moorehn As a husband I sometimes double checked if I am truly invited to a girls catch up just to avoid accidentally ruining the vibe 😅

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@moorehn It was a good listen
( they’re all good listens Bront)

@gauravsabnis Part Lord of War, part goldfinger. Impressive characters, thanks for sharing!

@transit_jam “Did you order the banners in the size I asked you?”
“Yes, 120 in length 👍”
“Great. The look a bit long though. 120cm, right?”
“Oh you didn’t mean 120 in?”

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@moorehn @JakeLandauTO I would argue (as others have) that if you look at the lifetime value the comparison with PCs is probably not that obvious (not to mention if already integrated in their ecosystem obv). The Neo is a really good surprise though (assuming 8G of RAM is enough for the next 5y).

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@testbot1972 All things totally fungible elsewhere in the neighborhood (ifc mall litterally has a cinema 🫠)

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

What does Central need? A second mall right next to IFC of course. Bonus point for easing the only 50 year old landmark in the area just to make this a reality, HK developers

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

Love HK taxi drivers and the new 6-pax EVs but the drivers still couldn’t drive smoothly to save their lives 🤢😅

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@Lee_Cobaj @johnherbert (My hunch is that Chan is probably traveling with an entourage but go figure - and still)

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@Lee_Cobaj @johnherbert How the heck does a *regional* finance minister (not even a country minister!) need this Lucy traveling

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@transit_jam @johnherbert I’m not versed in the history of these district level committees, but by all appearance they seem to be one of these bodies used by government to maintain and reward a network of supporters at grassroots level. They are also been added to the voting system…

[Renaud Haccart @RHaccart]

@transit_jam @johnherbert Given their mandate you’d think district fire committees could make themselves (more) useful by controlling construction sites and addressing complaints if the wake of the Tai Po fire.
I’m not aware of the government having yet floated the idea.
