The video footage is terrifying as it seems to show fire exploding, throwing flames and debris, as the blaze jumped from apartment building to apartment building. Seven out of eight buildings in the housing complex ablaze. 13 people killed, incl. a fire-fighter, and dozens injured. ๐Ÿ˜” #HongKongFire

Sam Pang discussing a chimpanzee owned by Elvis Presley that loved whiskey and upskirting, in an interview with Priscilla Presley.

Whenever I think: I'll try watching #SamPangTonight, I see a TikTok clip revealing its excruciatingly unfunny dated blokey-dope 1970's style humour. Why would Pang raise the topic of a chimpanzee upskirting women with Priscilla Presley? It was crass sexism back then. It's creepy #sexism now.

Thank you. Excellent video. So why are some films and tv shows STILL showing the phone screen with blurred illegible text? Or on-screen too briefly to read the text being shown? I find it very frustrating.

Agreed. "Sherlock" made excellent use of on-screen graphics, diagrams, equations or text that unpacked plot points or ideas clearly, without being a distraction.

Dear film/tv producers,
When characters send texts essential to the plot, could you please have the texts appear on-screen as infographics, as in the tv series "Sherlock" (top). Trying to read them off a phone screen, even by pausing the video, is nearly impossible, eg "Reckless" (bottom). ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿ“บ

Sky News After Dark does Pauline Hanson style ranty lunatic Islamophobia. Seven News does Liberal Party style "measured, respectful" Islamophobia. Both are platforming ignorant, unfactual, racist fear-mongering hate-speech. #auspol #NoRoomForRacism

The Government is trying to push through changes that will weaken our environment laws.

This is the same Government that changed environment laws to protect the toxic salmon industry, and continues to approve fossil fuels for decades to come.

Days by the Ocean
by Raymond J. Bartholomeuz (1986)

In the steammy, sensual rivercave of my mind
I stumble, I stagger, I stammer
Like some crazy South Korean circus clown
Lost, lonely, lifeless, laconically lazy
Marooned, marooned
Iโ€™m on a lagoon
I am an island
I am an isthmus
I come from Bermuda
I donโ€™t believe in christmas
look out oh sinister holy man
look out oh righteous Bolshevik
I care no longer for your petty problems
I make my own decisions now
Today I laugh, I joke, I chitter chatter chitter
But tomorrow, tomorrow I go to Phillip Island
