So we're calling these guys the "Liquor Cabinet"?

The "Permanent Monument" refers to the greatest and fastest nation building exercise in global history: the Hong Kong Nation and the Cantopop-HK cinema industry that inadvertently built the nationhood. It's the bedrock of K-pop well.

Irish has the Kneecap moment, how about other languages?

Wan Kwong 尹光 is the "Clear Reminder" that a language doesn't die when it stops being "Beautiful", it dies when it stops being "Useful." As long as the "Staccato" of the street is louder than the "Silt" of the classroom, the "Permanent Monument" will never be "Liquidated."

Tidied up by Gemini: The Senedd, the Dáil, and the Taiwan Ministry of Culture all need to "Download" the Wan Kwong 尹光 "Source Code." They need to stop looking for "Poets" and start looking for "Gaffers and PAs" who can turn the "Urban Grit" into a "Global-Unit" Hit.

👇🎯 Some of us were, but no one was listening & the rest didn't want to hear it. Unprecedented lawless authoritarianism & violations of the Constitution, on a level so staggering in scope & scale that we still haven't even begun to admit it as a country.

NIMBYs are against most developments anyway, but data centres do have the obnoxious power hog issue that is difficult to resolve unless they've got their own generators, preferably not fossil fuelled.

NIMBYs were against data centres before it was cool.

Opinion | Tai Po fire hearings reveal broken promises to Hongkongers The hearings have exposed gaps in the enforcement of safety rules and an attitude of avoiding blame among government departments.

“If the government isn’t there to make sure that things are done properly, monitor and enforce the standards it has set to protect the lives and property of its residents, then it has failed at its most fundamental job.”

stopping a shoplifter excessively is just a symptom of the rest of his issues, and he's got the looks of having troubles.

Starmer announces that the UK is pursuing closer EU relations:

“Brexit did deep damage to our economy. And the opportunities to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living are simply too big to ignore. We want to be more ambitious. Closer economic cooperation. Closer security cooperation.”

The skill of knowing when something is 'good enough' and moving on to another area is a *vital* skill/sense to develop.

User testing in a nutshell :)

見周公 being a euphemism of hitting the bed.

and it's Tuesday for me now, the logon to meet the Lord of Tiw was successful.

Without the dropped kerb, Jonathan and his family legally can't use the driveway extension without taking all the cars out every time, as it is illegal to drive across a footway without a properly constructed kerb.

Sounds like a law that could do with occasional enforcing. Just now and then so it's an actual rather than pretend law.

Resident spends £1,500 on driveway extension - but council says he can't use it A Southampton man has been left ‘frustrated’ after the council denied his planning application for a dropped kerb, after he spent over £1500.

I would sign this, albeit primarily to find out which junior minister would be assigned to respond to the Westminster Hall debate on it.

Turns out the Capital Ring from Stoke Newington to Highgate is *almost* entirely pram-friendly these days, apart from one silly kissing gage on the New River that you’ll struggle with if the pram isn’t partially dismantalable.

I keep seeing people implying that if we just had full communism then LLMs would never take off and I can’t stress how much actually previously existing communist regimes would have loved LLMs. What did you think would be automated in fully automated luxury communism?

we know they aren't competent, and sometimes they know they aren't competent 😂

Between this and trailing an attack on Kharg Island…

Imagine Churchill/Roosevelt repeatedly trailing that they were considering an invasion of Normandy.

and now you know why his son directed Time Still Turns the Pages (年少日記), Warner is the same vide as Ronald Cheng's character if not WORSE.

“Deputy Chief Secretary Warner Cheuk said on Monday that residents of the Tai Po estate who want more time to pack their belongings could speak to social workers and that the authorities would ‘look at the actual situation and handle it accordingly.’”

So they've shot somebody dead, but they're not quite sure who it is?

Sounds a bit, you know, American to me.

"The way to solve the fuel crisis is to give people on six-figure salaries $2600 a year towards the mortgage repayments on their investment properties" sounds less appealing than "free public transport for everyone!", but it's functionally the same thing.

the Duke of Tiw is suddenly very Saxon (Tiw being the Anglo-Saxon cognate of the Viking Tyr).

do you mean *tiw *C.kˤoŋ, where I have also determined that the C with cross checks with the Tibetan and Burmese, to be a *g so how's your dream with *tiw g.kˤoŋ
