"In #HongKong, #elderly residents like Leung are bearing the brunt of rising temperatures.. @hkfp visited 11 #inadequate #housing units occupied by elderly residents.. Most were #cagehomes, measuring btw 15-18sqft, w limited ventilation & few resources to keep cool.. “In Hong Kong, our #government is very experienced with typhoon preparation, event management, resilience & recovery,” Ren said. However, “so far, there is no real action” when it comes to addressing #extreme #heat”"👇

"goodnight" can be hard to say

The #MastoPrompt for Friday 20 February 2026 is:

#inadequate

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.

The BBC in Scotland

I often understand the BBC in Scotland as being purely antagonistic to the SNP Holyrood government, but there are signs that other from different political persuasions (so to speak) have their concerns. Small beginnings.

Of course you will not see any of the debate reported in either the BBC news or much of the piss poor coverage in Scotland (and I include you #Herald and #Scotsman)
