My dad bought Cosby's book Fatherhood when it was published in the '80s and I was teen. I read his copy when I became a dad. The book sucks.

If you moved to Austin after 2011, but just made it through this August. Those of us who were here for that baking summer don't have much on you anymore heat-wise. 1/

Another scorching hot day, another ERCOT call for energy conservation. The grid operator is asking Texans to cut back on power usage from 3:00 til 9:00 p.m. today. Check out @KUT for more on this (and other heat-related coverage) https://t.co/Enn7xNybJo

I-35 is a helluva drug.

Why was it built in Austin? How did it affect our housing market? If you've ever wondered, I think you'll love this new podcast I made with @AKMcGlinchy and @mattlargey. https://t.co/mSghs0QSoY

But first, let's travel back through time to the 1940s.

Who is this committee serving?

[Mose Buchele @MoseBuchele]

At House State Affairs Committee meeting. I tried to put my microphone on the table here. Was told I was not allowed to by orders of the Committee Chair.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas has released its assessment of the grid going into the summer. Regulators say that, for the first time, there are some scenarios where there will not be sufficient "on demand dispatchable power" to meet energy needs. What does that mean? 1/

[NWS Austin/San Antonio @NWSSanAntonio]

Twitter announced on 3/29/23 that it will begin limiting automated tweets. Should this implementation occur, the automated watch/warning/advisory graphics shared on this account may not be posted. Have multiple ways to receive weather information and alerts.

Texas state senators meet in committee today to talk plan to raise peoples' energy bills by subsidizing natural gas power plants with public money and adding cost to renewable energy to discourage its growth. 1/

"Throughout the crisis, state and local authorities often seemed absent or incapable of grasping the magnitude of what was happening.

But everywhere you looked, you saw people helping people."

Crews working for the City of Austin are using a portion of the Circle C Park to drop off collected storm debris and grind it down.
The mulch-like substance will be taken to Austin Water's Hornsby Bend plant in East Austin to be mixed with wastewater sludge to make compost.

Elton tells me to expect this by late night tonight fyi

[Nathan Bernier @KUTnathan]

BREAKING: The CapMetro board of directors is expected to name Dottie Watkins as the agency’s president and CEO. The vote is Monday. Watkins is currently serving as interim CEO. She’s has been with the agency since 1994. Started as a bus driver and rose though the ranks.

[Andrew England Weber @England_Weber]

Ahead of an end-of-month deadline, @AscensionSeton says it's reached a deal with @BCBST.

That means 66k folks in Central Texas won't be out of network at Austin's major hospitals and clinics run by Ascension on Feb. 1.

[Trey Shaar @treyshaar]

@MaukCmauk1 @KUT Can't take credit for this one. That was @jerryquijano. I could hear the emotion, too. It's genuine.

[Sergio Martínez-Beltrán @SergioMarBel]

Hey, Texas! I'm writing about property taxes in the state... but I need your help!

What are some of the questions you have about property taxes? Are you freaking out? Are you mad? Are you chill?

Let's talk! Email me a list of your emotions & questions: [email protected] or DM me.
