35 Southbound by AutoNation Toyota South. (I wasn’t driving. Recorded from the backseat.)

Can we get ONE day without shenanigans?

I love you and see you Austin FC but once upon a time there was once a home team specifically assembled for the good folks in Austin. If you went to the games, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

I was involved in a hit and run on I-35 last night. They crashed into us from behind and continued to side swipe the entire right side of my car. When he took off, my immediate reaction was to follow them (probably not the safest decision). Because there was traffic, I caught up to him easily, grabbed his license plate, got a visual of the driver despite it being a bit difficult to see with it being night time. They refused to pull over.

I spoke to the police, made a police report online and filed a claim with my insurance. My insurance deemed my car not worth repairing, which is a huge bummer because my car was paid off and the cash I will receive for it will not be a lot. Maybe 4,000. The idea of having a car payment again, especially with these interest rates, is so deflating.

Will APD do anything? Is there anything I should make sure to do for this type of situation? I’m also going to get checked by a doctor due to back and side pain. Thank you for any insights.

Hi there, I’m a local artist creating some artwork of a mashup of Austin icons, moments, and cultural elements from over the years and figured I’d ask the community for some thoughts similar to what i created for H&M in the domain.

Think of great spots that you miss, or should be celebrated, weird and funky is great too. Things that have made Austin so special and memorable over the years. Chicken shit bingo to batman tattoo guy or Leslie, restaurants. All the fun stuff.

Attached is the example of what I created to give you an idea. Thank you for any ideas you may have :)

Just wanted to celebrate this notable milestone. Very very Austin of us. Go team!

I was driving through the Highland/Northcrest neighborhood today when I saw this guy who had most definitely stolen at least the 2nd bike. Was your bike stolen today? Is this your bike?

And just think of how much harder it makes the drywall installer's job. Not easy to put the screws to the truss!

Was walking back home from the ymca and some white guys screamed the n-word from their suv at me. I’m not even black, I’m Chinese-Filo. We gotta do better in 2025 lmao

Today with Austin Creative Reuse and Keep Austin Beautiful we got 17 bags of trash and 11 bags of recycling out of assorted creeks in the Windsor Park neighborhood (we ended up with 3 more coming in after the picture haha). There are a bunch of opportunities to do cleanups as we near Keep Austin Beautiful day (4/12) and Earth Day (4/22) so look out for opportunities to help out.

Or just far back of the closet, or bottom of the bottom dresser drawer, where you assumed you wouldn't see it again until Nov?

I'm not complaining. I see those 90-degree days coming during the week and by next weekend.

I forgot just how cold the 50s and 60s can feel, especially with the wind.

It’s kickin off down here y’all!!

I've lived in Austin for over 30 years and can't remember it ever being this consistently windy.

In general I've never really noticed the wind in Austin. I played tennis my entire childhood here where wind is a big deal and it never seemed that Austin was irregularly windy.

This year there's been so many days with gusts over 30 mph and walking around it seems like many days are annoyingly windy. Almost all of SXSW was extremely windy and today's one of the windiest days I've ever experienced.

Is Austin having a particularly windy year or is this normal?

Went yesterday shows were great but that event seemed like it was run / put together by a 5 year old. Staff basically nonexistent. Bathroom merch and food lines were criminal. Saw people waiting 25 min to take a piss. Corporate greed or poor planning.

Amazing turnout today!
