It took me 17 years living in #hongkong, but finally managed to wrangle a place with a decent rooftop! Basically spent most of my time out here since moving in.

The press freedom crisis in America isn't only billionaires bowing down at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state

In L.A., police nightsticks are clubbing press freedom to death | Will Bunch

WATCH: “Are you f*cking out of your mind?”

@marcmaron won’t let @howiemandel downplay the impact comedians like Joe Rogan have had on stripping rights from trans people, immigrants, etc. with “hack” bullying jokes that helped pave the way for Trump & the radical right takeover.

Testing a new mobile productivity setup from @yvrairport.bsky.social. This is the slick new 16 inch Elite #Sotsu display. Looks like a match with the #MBP.

Being based in #HK, I don’t hear much about China Airlines. But when I’ve had to fly them, I’ve always been impressed. This is a nicer cabin than CX, and often at a fraction of the cost. #travel #avgeek

Get to try @cathaypacific.bsky.social new #AriaSuite this morning from #HKG to #PEK. More an enhancement of the previous cabin design than an overhaul. But quite nice nonetheless. Wireless charging is a nice touch, and 24” 4K display is great. #avgeek #travel
