    some news: today is my last day at the @statesman. It's been a wild/fun ride covering the Austin tech scene the past few years. I'm grateful to everyone I worked with I'll still be in Austin. I'll be joining @business soon to cover EVs (and yes Tesla and some musklandia still)

    Turns out, I’m 100% that Mayor. I’ve officially declared today @lizzo Day in Phoenix. Lizzo has been referred to as “pop music’s patron saint of self-care.” Thank you #Lizzo for dropping by @thevanburenphx tonight to put on a great show for Phoenix!
