Begonia flowers. Playing around with a new lens today.

Foreground: pink and yellow flowers in focus. Bg: red and green leaves out of focus.

Now I’m really curious what Cape Verde would’ve done against anyone other than Argentina

Also happy to have been the first person to properly rate this masterpiece

A 5-star rating for Ikiru by Kurosawa. The only other rating on the app was one 4-star.

Literally from today. Not even in a hurry, just didn’t want to make two trips on principle

For example

Q: By thinking of anesthesia as a measurable form of unconsciousness, does that tell us anything about what consciousness actually is?

Dr Brown: When people ask me what I study, I say that I study unconsciousness, because that's what I want to create in the most sound way for the purpose of anesthesia care. But we know that a person can be in a coma because of a stroke that affects the cortex, the brainstem, or the thalamus. There are all sorts of ways of turning the system off. That suggests the conscious process depends on these brain areas being well integrated and
communicating in such a way that you're awake and you're aware.

Yes and also the Knicks somehow won on this terrible shot???

Brunson jacks it up from 30 feet instead of passing over the 7’5” guy and a double team??

3. Better Half The (New) Big Salad - roasted sweet potato puree, roasted cherry tomatoes & corn, greens, sprouts, almonds. creamy dressing (vegan IIRC), add steak. This version is our best yet IMO. I don’t post enough about my own places, but will now that we’re rotating menus more #austinfood

Gonna try this again, just cause I like this pic. #austinfood May 2026 1. P Thai’s on Airport Chicken 4 ways: fried, roasted, wings, chicken fat rice, clear broth soup. The sauces/soup put this place over the top.

Revisiting older Beck albums and did not realize just how crazy this run was. In particular, 3 radically different albums in 3 straight years - is anyone producing at that pace anymore? Maybe Tyler the Creator?

Tonight’s storm brought a crazy mix of light downtown. Couple views from stoplights.

View of downtown looking east from Lamar & 5th. It’s dusk and the skyscrapers are lit up reflecting light back dark clouds fill the background.

Red sunset clouds background a highway access road with a car in the middle lane, taillights on.

Very good year for Austin wildflowers. This is just my neighbor’s front yard (iPhone lock screen dimensions fwiw)

Vertically cropped shot of Indian blanket flowers filling frame. (Indian blankets, or firewheels, are actually part of the sunflower family, but have distinct color patterns that inspire their common name. They are most commonly reddish orange in the center and transition to yellow on the outer part of the flower, but some varieties can be completely red.)

“It's time to defund AISD and criminally investigate Superintendent Matias Segura,"
Hall said in a social media post.
During an interview with the conservative nonprofit Texas Values, Hall said taxpayers in his district were concerned about state funding going into a district where "instead of focusing on education they are focusing on gender identity and celebrating pride and things like that."
"[lf] we don't stop it in Austin ISD, we are going to see more of this across the state," Hall said. "We need to make a statement and set an example. We will not put up with you breaking the law."
Hall stated that AISD was not complying with Senate Bill 12. The law passed in 2025 and prohibits "diversity, equity and inclusion duties," including activities that reference gender or sexual orientation, at K-12 public

AISD held Pride Week from March 23 to 27 with the theme "beYOUtiful" Students' participation was voluntary, and activities took place outside instructional time, including before or after school or during lunch.
Activities included displaying photos of students' families, wearing wacky socks and sitting with different people during lunch. On the last day each grade level wore a different color to school
In their guidelines, district officials said AISD celebrated Pride Week during March to "show support" for the diverse students, staff and families. Officials also
acknowledged that in past years the district had provided a suggested curriculum and had distributed swag to schools, but that his year it would look different due to "an ever changing environment."

Pro tip: find a brewery that hosts a run club. There will be demand for non-IPAs for sure. Like our Never Been Better lager

One of these two markets has to be wrong, right? The oil futures chart shows an increase of ~$10/barrel for the next 3 years

Long-term inflation expectations have barely been impacted by the Iran war so far
2.13% 5y5y breakeven inflation...

@justinwolfers.bsky.social

It's not just a blip. Increasingly oil futures markets are suggesting that the Iran war is going to have (or has already had) effects that will last for years.
Futures markets show the Iran war is expected to raise oil prices for many years

If we all decide to move to a different social media service, I'd like to propose that it be one that's only accessible during your work hours.
After that you have to log off and touch grass.

It’s always so particular to individual, but I like thrifted ones with kinda dark shades - my coworking space has good examples

Wonder if this was inspo for The Sympathizer

Mike McCaul’s district right now grew an appendage just to dip into rich West Austin neighborhoods. Utterly absurd from a representation standpoint

Hyde Park/North Loop, I love, but you have got to learn how to stage and photograph your ugly houses better

An empty living room with wood floors, a skylight, built in bookshelves, a nice window, and right under the windowsill, a disconnected toilet

Then I stepped to the back to try to capture the overflow onto the parking garage across the street. (Plus like 100 kids/parents off camera on the playground.)

Watch out, Austin, today's ice melt seems to be causing power outages in last half hour. All of SoCo appears to be dark right now. Hearing it'll be fixed ~12:15 outagemap.austinenergy.com (3 of my storefronts are in those zones 😑. Fuck ice, for real.)

Everything is terrible, but just made a goofy snow day clean-out-the-fridge breakfast sandwich that actually works: - Achar scrambled eggs - Air fryer hash brown - Melted string cheese - Toasted English muffin String cheese was the biggest surprise. Who is else is improvising today?
