(1/3) Regarding the Hong Kong fire: CNN quoted PolyU’s Prof. Huang saying bamboo is flammable, implying the bamboo scaffold was the main driver.
But multiple clips show the netting and wrap igniting, not the scaffold; most bamboo poles remained intact.
#Ukrainian pupils meet their teacher Roman Palamarchuk who visits them from the frontline in the middle of their class. Their reaction is priceless.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!

Standing with Ukraine doesn’t mean anything—especially if you voted Biden in.
You ruined their lives.
Tweeting your support for them now won’t change anything.
You've got to live with that guilt.
I hope you can’t sleep at night.
Emotional scenes outside #Appledaily hq, as supporters shout “Apple Daily, support you till the end.“ The journalists reply “ thank you everyone” “Hongkongers. Add oil. Hongkongers, add oil!”#HongKongProtests
Pro-democracy politicians are being arrested for speaking up for freedom and democracy.
When will Beijing stop? They will find any excuse to arrest and silence those who yearn for their basic human rights.
In Hong Kong, the authorities are right now arresting all the democratic nominees who participated in the primaries — 50 candidates! Hong Kong has just become the frontline of China’s new totalitarian state.
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?
