Just did a loop around north and central Austin. Roads seem OK - went on 3 highways, 3 flyovers, through downtown, to the east side and back north to Q2 stadium area. That said, temps are dropping fast and more precipitation is on the way. Roads will prob get bad within hours.

If you’re driving into San Antonio from NB this morning, expect 1-2 hour delay due to 35 being down to one lane for construction . . .
Can confirm the delays are real.

TXDOT. We gotta stop closing lanes for construction during rush hour. This is crazy. Road signs say right two lanes are closed for construction. That’s how I know.

President Trump’s cannabis order sounds big. The reality is more complicated than some are reading it to be.
A lawyer who has worked in cannabis reform for over a decade talked to MySA about what's next, the significance of a move from Schedule I to III and the possible Texas impact.

There are a few chains as quintessentially Texan as Luby’s. I’ve been trying to find the origin story behind one of its most iconic dishes: the LuAnn. Where did the name come from, and is it LuAnn Plate or Platter? Here’s what I found out (@mysanantonio.com) — www.mysanantonio.com/food/article...
An iconic Luby’s dish that still shapes its Texas legacy
Luby's Cafeteria has been around since 1947. But the name variations of a famous menu item after nearly shutting down begs the question: Where did the name, LuAnn Plate, stem from? Let's dive in.

I think we can leave the term “bestie” in 2025. Unless you’re literally talking about your bestie, of course.
Idk if I can handle another TikTok that starts with “hey bestie!”
TYSM for coming to my tiny TED Talk.
