Do you think Austin is still weird?

I'm working on a story for @KUT exploring Austin's proverbial weirdness, whether it's still the city's defining characteristic or whether it was ever even that weird to begin with.

I'd love to hear your take for the story: [email protected]

Hey y'all I'm doing a story about the impact the Yogurt Shop Murders had on Austin for @KUT

I know this case loomed large in the collective psyche of Austinites and now that there's resolution I'm curious to hear folks' reflections

If you wanna talk, email me at [email protected]

Austin just spent more than a million dollars on a new city logo.

Its old logo stretches back to 1916, when the city held a nationwide design contest. A San Francisco artist won the contest, and the city paid him $50.

Austin's firefighter union says AFD could've helped prevent deaths in #Kerrville, but an internal @austinfiredept policy delayed them from getting on the ground.

@KirkPWatson & City Manager Broadnax say the union's politicizing the floods.

Hundreds of Austinites are marching down Congress Ave from the State Capitol to Austin City Hall. More than 600, I’d guess #50501

A court filing out last week accuses @UTAustin of using chat apps to hide – or delete – internal communications about the arrest of a pro-Palestinian demonstrator last year.

Last month, state agencies were told to get their employees back in the office. So, how's that all going?

Austin-based employees report a lack of parking, monitors, and workspace. That and more with @England_Weber on today's pod https://t.co/Sq2eDXD2vR

Austin city officials are updating the public on the South Austin bomb detonation last night.

There is no threat to the public at this time. 1/

A conference promoting fertility will be held at @UTAustin this weekend.

Some of the speakers have promoted racist, eugenics-based theories and have ties to far-right extremism.

@KUTnathan @CapMetroATX @katyjmcafee @KaileyEHunt @mayagfawaz @chelsey_zhu @MoseBuchele @mattlargey KUT did all of this in just the last week (or so).

All of those stories. All of that context and variety. All in a week.

It’s a lot. And it's not free. We need your help to keep this going.

If you can give, we’d appreciate it!

It's the last day of @KUT's membership drive!

My colleagues are committed to telling insightful, engaging stories about Austin in a way other folks don't, won't or can't.

Strap in pal, it's time for a thread of stories from *just this week* that prove that.

@KUTnathan @CapMetroATX @katyjmcafee @KaileyEHunt @mayagfawaz @chelsey_zhu @MoseBuchele I work with @mattlargey, which is to say I pretty much work with the public radio equivalent of Merlin.

We re-ran this story from ATXplained this week. And it never fails to get me. It's told with so much compassion and curiosity. https://t.co/mo7zhvhCv1
