Why do I love video essays about video games and movies that are not practical reviews that are often very personal but hate the stories about people's grandmas and childhood afternoons that get in the way of the recipes I'm trying to get to.

Hong Kongers continue to pay tribute to victims of Tai Po fire despite the memorial being cleared on Sunday night. The benches where the Lennon Wall used to be have been sealed off with tape and police present have told mourners to not leave any offerings or flowers in the area.

HK government’s approach to Tai Po fire reminds me a bit of what happened early on during the pandemic when the community stepped up first because the regime was MIA
It wasn't all just images spread online. Lennon walls, which have been focal points within communities for protest art and articles became places to broadcast public health PSAs:
"Wear a mask!!!"
"Always, always, always, always, always wash hands!!!"

The voices that have publicly sought to challenge the government narratives on what caused or contributed to the Tai Po fire are being silenced "for obvious reasons".

We all know what happened based on the vocabulary, "foreign forces" "destabilizing society" are common tropes used by the HK & Chinese government when they see someone saying something they don't like.

Hailey Cheng, creator of the HK Fire document database has posted that she received "accurate reports" that has convinced her to cease posting about the Tai Po fire. In more recent posts, she states that the government is concerned her posts would be "misinterpreted" by "foreign forces".

Finally watched Scherzo of Deep Night and it remined me of everything I love about SAO. The fantasy of "what if MMO but literal lives are at stakes (and most everyone is competent)" I'd argue SAO was the first one that did it well, and the Progressive movies still did it better than everything else.

I keep thinking about Iron-blooded Orphans' ending (spoiler warning apparently) — how Tekkadan's gundams all perished but what they fought for did kind of later get realised, in the form of the authoritarian power getting not destroyed but restructured, and colonies not liberated but relinquished.

More heros from the Tai Po fire. Catabay carried her employers child from the 23rd floor down the fire escape and didn't stop til she was safe. Verador carried her employer's 2 yr old child in one hand and supported the grandmother in another through the smoke to safety.

Since earlier today, an endless stream of Hong Kongers have come to Tai Po to pay their respects and mourn the lives lost to the fire. Some people estimate that they have waited in line for up to 2 hours so they could lay down their flowers.

2. Are still expecting the victims to pay off their mortgage...

Hong Kong's CCP mouthpiece Wen Wei Po published an article, declaring that "remnants of the black-clad riots" & "yellow persons" have infiltrated the relief efforts of the Tai Po fire, citing residents who saw people wearing black masks, reminding them of the "troublemakers" from the 2019 protests.

Hong Kongers express their solidarity with the victims of the Tai Po fire by writing words of encouragement and sympathy on Post-It notes. An act that disappeared since 2019 but apparently remain unforgotten since then.
