This wall was reclaimed by several US artists, who identify as women! A particular section of the mural’s wall always makes me smile. 😎🎨🤩

텍사스주 오스틴에 계신 분께 여쭤봅니다.

웨이모의 로보택시 타보셨나요?

우버 앱으로 호출한다고 하던데 어떤가요? 택시 운전자가 없고 유료로 서비스되고 있나요? 택시 요금과 서비스 품질은 어떤가요?

그리고 혹시 총 몇 대나 운행되는지 아세요?

My buddy Rafael in Barton Springs a couple of weeks ago. 32°F out, so it was deserted, but a pleasant swim nonetheless! Love how surreal this one feels.
