The sky has turned orange in Austin, and the air is grey with occasional ash flakes. Apparently there is a big fire near Fredericksburg.
A distinctly orange sun in the sky, with several trees and mid sized towers beneath it.

My in laws took me to a Hurricanes game in Miami today. Basketball rules.
The view from my seat of the court at a women’s college basketball game between the University of Miami Hurricanes and the UNC Tar Heels. The ball is in mid air, being passed from one UNC player to another.

Not quite perfect just now, but way better than normal for a mustang on a Saturday night!
The intersection of 7th and red river in downtown Austin, with the same flex posts in between lanes prior to the stop line. Only two are visible, because a black mustang has pulled slightly over the stop line, but still stopped before the crosswalk markings.

It’s 2024 bullshit bingo!
Aug. 12, 2024, 8:10 p.m. ET Ryan Mac It appears crypto scammers on other streaming platforms have tried to take advantage of the confusion on X by creating fake streams mimicking Musk's voice to persuade people to buy cryptocurrency.

Y'all I've been reading "There's always this year" by Hanif Abdurraqib the last few days, and it's just stunningly, impossibly, transcendently beautiful. If I tried to share my favorite quote, I'd just start transcribing the whole thing from page one.
A copy of "There's always this year - on basketball and ascension" by Hanif Abdurraqib. The cover image features a young Black boy perched on top of a basketball hoop.

Had a great time last night at the book launch for Megan Kimble’s City Limits.

Urban Highways are a choice, and a bad one. We can make different choices!
A hardcover copy of Megan Kimble’s book “City Limits - infrastructure, inequality, and the future of America’s highways”. The cover features a photograph of a large highway interchange. The book is resting on a wooden table. A selfie with Megan Kimble, the author. There is a tree and some string lights in the background. We’re both smiling.
