Happy almost 1 year anniversary to the first ever sighting of american flamingos in wisconsin. tune in on peacock at 2:15 PM and 5:40 PM ET on august 31st to see their triumphant return in Milwaukee. (and then 2:30 PM ET on September 1st for their victory lap!)
anyway. behold the state bird of florida AND wisconsin (to me). shout out to @luccacontimotorsport for enabling this post with this wonderful picture of my favorite hot pink bitch named breakfast.

"Shoutout to Scott Dixon. I actually talked to him this morning about the mental piece of it. It's hard when you come to a road course race and you tell yourself that you're gonna crash, you're gonna suck....He basically told me to shut the hell up and that I'm here for a reason and to trust in myself and believe in myself."
okay not to get all sappy but i really can’t overstate how much this indycar season has meant to me. i started watching indycar during this year’s indy 500, not knowing the names of any of the drivers or teams, and three months later this series has wormed its way into my heart to become my favorite motorsport series bar none. thank you so much to indyblr for being such an incredible and loving community, and thank you to all my f1 and cycling mutuals who had to deal with me yapping into their inboxes about guys they’d never heard of and speeding full gas into indycar insanity. thank you to the incredible indycar on nbc comms team who showed me that race commentary didn’t have to be a bunch of british people arguing. and to all my non-indycar watcher followers, please consider this my call to action: watch indycar. it might not have the glamour of formula one, but it has a hell of a lot more heart.
thank you for an incredible summer, you guys. see you at st. pete?
wow not having architectural design studio 4 hours a day three days of the week lets you have crazy ideas like starting a magazine centered around motorsports fandom and how it’s changed over the years
