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 β€” the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.

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

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

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

Pro tip: if flying @cathaypacific.bsky.social , you can’t go wrong with their signature non-alcoholic drink, the Cathay Delight. It’s a mix of kiwi juice, coconut milk, and mint. #CX #avgeek
