@glensarsero @MetService Hi @glensarsero I'm a journalist with AFP, the international news agency. Were you there at Mount Maunganui, and did you take these photos and video yourself? If so, I hope you're ok -- would it be possible for you to send me a dm? Thank you very much.

"If you read a book in 2025—just one book—you belong to an endangered species." This made me sad. (Someone could probably publish a thesis about how a drop in reading has led to a drop in overall empathy.) theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/…

#BREAKING: Hong Kong has rejected a bill granting limited rights to same-sex couples whose unions are registered abroad. The 89-member Legislative Council voted down the Registration of Same-sex Partnerships Bill, which authorities proposed in light of a 2023 top court ruling.

Some insane scenes out of Nepal 🇳🇵where discontent over the government's barring of social media platforms culminated into widespread protests against corruption. And now the PM has resigned. 👉 u.afp.com/Sdr9

A quote from the obit: “He’s the last of the long line of those kind of hard-hitting muckraking journalists…Several were grumpy old men. As the years went on, he was the opposite of a grumpy old man. He was incredibly kind. He had a sense of humor.” Yea, that’s what I remember.

I can’t recall anything specific, only that my encounters w/ Tom at the Voice were always warm. I’m left with a sense of his empathy. He was always kind to us, a tremendous human. Rare to be able to say that about a celebrated journalist, especially one who’s a NYC legend.

Poetry and popular uprisings have long been intertwined in Myanmar. From anti-colonial roots to today's resistance, poets have always led a unique role. Why does poetry still matter? Join @AungNaingSoeAns & @joefree215 on Thurs April 24 to explore why! fccthai.com/events/495

In neighboring Thailand, a 30-storey skyscraper collapsed in the quake and rescuers are struggling to pluck out survivors. Many of the construction workers are actually from Myanmar. Some amazing shots from the inimitable @TheLilyfish

Mandalay residents are searching through collapsed buildings for survivors. Myanmar, already in dire straits after years of civil war, is ill-equipped to cope with this disaster. In this difficult situation, our Yangon team is doing great work: u.afp.com/SiMB
