The episodes about 6th St are so, so good, and actually really sweet. A nice reminder that this historic slice of Austin is vibrant and full of interesting people living, celebrating, working HARD, and even looking for true love. TBH I'll miss this version of 6th when it's gone.
Want to step away from the news for a little while? I don't blame you. You could do worse than checking out @KUT's newest podcast, 24 Hours in Austin. In our first two episodes, we spend all day and all night on Sixth Street during @sxsw

Extremely correct take
In The @NewYorker, I take a step back and introduce a new idea about what won, and lost, the election: the ambience of information.

BREAKING: Austin real estate investor Nate Paul surrendered early to Travis County jail last night for his 10-day contempt of court sentence, avoiding a possible media frenzy this morning before his deadline of 9 a.m. Paul had made multiple appeal attempts leading up to this.
Judge Ezra rejects Paul’s latest appeal of 10-day jail sentence set to begin Fri “The vast majority of federal habeas petitioners are serving criminal sentences while they await a decision on their federal writs. The only difference here is that (Paul’s) sentence is quite short”
