Good afternoon, Longhorns! It's Monday, August 11, 2025, and here's what's happening at the University of Texas at Austin. First, let's talk about the weather. Currently, it's partly sunny with a temperature of 74 degrees Fahrenheit. As the day progresses, expect mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing to a high of 99 degrees by late afternoon. So, stay hydrated and find some shade if you're out and about. In academic news, UT Austin has been designated as a UNESCO Chair in Open Data, AI, and Water for Cities. This prestigious recognition highlights the university's commitment to using artificial intelligence and open data to help cities become more resilient to disasters, weather extremes, and water scarcity. The initiative is led by Professor Dev Niyogi and Research Professor Bridget Scanlon from the Jackson School of Geosciences. On the admissions front, the university has seen a record-breaking number of freshman applications for the Fall 2025 term. Applications increased nearly 25% from the previous year, totaling 90,562 submissions. Notably, applications from Texas residents rose by 12%, while out-of-state applications soared by 48%. This surge is attributed to new degree programs and initiatives aimed at increasing affordability and accessibility. In sports, mark your calendars for the 2025 Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown. The Longhorns will face off against Texas A&M on Friday, November 28, at 6:30 p.m. This game continues the Thanksgiving weekend tradition and will be held in Austin for the first time since 2010. Texas currently leads the series with a 77-37-5 advantage. That's all for today's update. Stay cool, stay informed, and Hook 'em Horns!

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
