I know I’m stating the glaringly obvious, but wow has #Shenzhen grown quickly. Even since my first visit back in 2005. #China

No matter how late I’m working or puttering around in my home office/studio, he waits patiently until I’m ready to go to bed…

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
On Friday, LAPD cops allegedly battered and detained journalists at a protest — the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.

Marc Maron unleashed…
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

Taken just now during a fierce thunder and lightning storm in #HongKong from an iPhone 16e. The one time I wish I had an actual camera…

A very cool part of working at a big tech company: our IT is scrambling to push out beta versions of enterprise software for the few #nerds (like me) who installed the #macOS Tahoe beta. I’m not used to such a fast moving IT team, having spent years in finance!

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

Oh no... saw an email announcing this just before I went to bed. I'm a huge, *huge* fan of @clayhq.bsky.social so very nervous about the future...

Tinkerers are going to love the control center customization options in #macOS26.
