🙌 Now THAT’S a letter! Thank you @GinaForAustin for writing the feds about the impending harm of the 35 expansion! Includes the hard facts, and makes it clear that the people and elected leaders affected by this are being ignored. @SecretaryPete, we’re counting on you. 🤝.

Last night @AUStinAirport wasn’t even that crowded, and Uber/Lyft were $60-100, because THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY YO LEAVE THE AIRPORT. We need more #Austin #airport #transit options than the one bus that takes 1hr+ to get downtown. 2/2. (Apologies; had to delete/repost this.)

Can @CapMetroATX and @sxsw *please* team up and open an Airport-Downtown direct #bus service during #SXSW?. You can even limit it to peak airport travel hours to reduce costs. (Bonus points for allocating one of the e-buses.). It’s been desperately needed for years. 💔. 1/.

Replacing #Barbie & #Oppenheimer with each others’ dialogue is my new summer pastime. Heads-up: Minor #Barbenheimer spoilers. Inspired by @chwoodiwiss . Full set:

Love the focus and consistency this offers for comparing corporate #sustainability claims 🦾.

I’ll be out here 2-4pm today with @rethink35. 🍂 . Come ask us about the state’s current plans to expand I-35 and demolish whole swaths of the city 🫠 and what you can do about it 💥

@tomhanks Regardless, enjoy the commemorative video we made at the 10-year mark:

@tomhanks This Sunday’s short notice for a flight to #TheBurbs, no matter #TheTerminal, but #CatchMeIfYouCan! We’d love if you made a #Big #Splash with any response you like. 🤓.

@tomhanks Since college we’ve enjoyed each others’ Hanks movie-themed/punny dishes, popped in a couple of your flicks, and shared what we’re Hankful for each year.

Whaddaya say, @tomhanks? Raise a glass with us at the 17th annual #Hanksgiving potluck? 👨🏻🥘

If I die 1) while cycling 2) while walking in a city 3) because of a car’s involvement in any way, . please politicize my death, urbanist friends. It’s not rude. It’s my posthumous gift of leverage toward making cities better.

So all the privacy invasion and attention-hogging that we endure with social media apps is worth roughly… $12/person/month? . Some of our brightest minds work at these companies, and leadership can’t get innovative enough to make money without ruining democracy. Lazy pricks.

For anyone else making the pilgrimage to @gourdough’s public house today, spare yourself— They sold out yesterday! Bon voyage, donut burgers 🍩🫡.

How can polling locations, backstage counting locations, and identities of elections admins/volunteers be better protected in the coming couple weeks, @TravisCountyTX ? How are they already protected? . We need to protect the election process & people.
