In the span of ~3 months, the team @basepowerco has built out operational tools that replace or avoid the purchase of an enormous amount of SaaS. Token costs might actually equal the cost of buying the SaaS, but cost isn't the point. It's the fact that the tools are perfectly tailored to our operations, infinitely customizeable going forward, and tied into our data. A sampling: - Warehouse Management System (WMS) - Manufacturing Execution System - CRM for B2B sales - Material Requirements Planning (MRP) - Sales & Operations Planning tool - Labor crew management, forecasting, and associated vehicles tool - Policy objectives and stakeholders tracker - Countless dashboards for each team The impact that AI has had on our business is incredible.

Latest #WatsonWire: Politics. Policy. Power. Pain. Since early 2025, I’ve strongly opposed federal actions involving ICE, and I’ve worked to protect Austin residents. In 2017, as State Senator, I fought SB 4, legislation the state uses to interfere with local governments and force cities to waste resources related to ICE. Providing public safety is a primary function of our city government. Lisa Davis, Austin’s Chief of Police, revised the Austin Police Department’s General Orders earlier this year to address over 700,000 non-criminal administrative warrants put into the National Crime Information Center database in 2025. These documents authorize ICE agents to make civil arrests but aren’t judicial warrants signed by a neutral judge. They’re documents signed by a federal agency official. The Chief’s orders were a common-sense policing approach that maximized the city’s limited resources to assure officers can best meet Austin’s public safety needs and to provide clarity to officers encountering the non-criminal ICE documents. The revised orders were consistent with state requirements, including SB4. Read more: bit.ly/4226tzZ

@upstatefederlst @380kmh I don’t have an issue with suburbs necessarily. They serve a real purpose in cities like Boston, Chicago, DC, etc. I think in Texas, however, the cart has gotten in front of the horse. Dallas and Houston downtowns are dying while suburbs are exploding. That’s not how it should be

Here is footage from last night’s shooting in East Austin. Austin cannot afford soft-on-crime leadership any longer. It’s time to get serious and make it clear that this kind of violence will not be tolerated. @data_atx @austinreforms @Austin_Police

Austin voters approved more than $1B in bond projects. Years later, many still aren’t built. Delays, rising costs and shifting plans fuel concerns about trust — just as the city weight whether to ask voters for more this November. Read more @statesman: statesman.com/news/local/art…
