ATX data

@nahdudette @cost_of_bums 😂 they looked pretty normal though! i think they'll grow out of it

@data_atx Remember those faces for when they show up on @cost_of_bums in 2029!

As we pulled into the greenbelt parking area, we came upon a nice young couple, looked like a first date, spray painting a hammer and sickle before starting their hike LOL You NEVER see this kind of thing in north Austin

Like I have a scraper that pings me every time the city signs a contract with a vendor It’s hard to come up with interesting liberal stories based on these contracts. It’s either very boring , like buying traffic cones, or it’s interesting from a right wing perspective cause it’s a massive overpay or it’s something the city government shouldn’t be involved in

How does the 'data' have a 'right-wing' bias? The data is what the data is. Now if the data is intentionally corrupted or just garbage because it was gathered incorrectly, that's one thing...if it's just factual data, I don't see how it could be viewed as having a bias one way or another? I 'suspect' that the data might 'prove' this or that which the 'right-wing' might have said it proved, maybe that's what you mean. It almost sounds like what you might be saying is the 'data' scores more points for the 'right-wing' than it does for the 'left wing'. Please explain, confused and curious as to what you actually mean.

This is basically what I do , but unfortunately the data has a right wing bias , so most newsrooms aren't going to do it 🤣

@MrsKinder Really? It seemed pretty clear but I don’t go a lot

@data_atx That’s a LOT of algae It shouldn’t look like that Too much pollution in our waterways The weather is divine The ecology is suffering

Perfect day on the greenbelt

@BikeLaneSpencer @BucyForTexas @KUT The green line is really still happening?

Great breakdown from @BucyForTexas at @KUT Fest on how Project Connect is delivering what voters were promised in 2020. We’re still delivering MetroRapid, Commuter Rail, Neighborhood Pickup, Park & Rides, and housing—plus ~70% of the rail proposed in 2020, with a path to 100%.

Imagine referring to Jan 6 as an insurrection in the year of our lord 2026 and listing it like its one of the most significant events in a college graduate's lives

@brennangriffin True there is opportunity on all sides, also some non partisan stuff like new developments, restaurant openings/closings etc etc

@data_atx I don't think the data has a right-wing bias! That's your lens, which is fine and I appreciate it (although I often disagree with your framing). I'm glad someone is looking at stuff. I think there's probably some interesting stories about city council race filings.

@saveaustintx Exactly, way too many to properly monitor

@data_atx That tells you they have way too many social services in this town. They can’t easily pull the contracts up so how exactly are they supposed to manage them or ensure the work is being done?

Austin was supposed to have a list of social service contracts prioritized and ready for review at a meeting next week, but now the agenda says 'discussion of timeline' Its a bit illustrative of the issue that it takes multiple months for the city to pull this list together 😅

@JenRobichaux yes hopefully its a fair settlement offer

@data_atx Thank goodness they're doing something about this one.

Three years ago, police raided the wrong house, did $23k in damage, and Austin refused to pay for years claiming immunity and wasting tons of money on legal costs Now, theres movement on the case, council will vote next week on an 'Offer of Judgement'. ( settlement offer )

@nahdudette @_cruzctrl1 we need an Austin reboot!

Been watching clips with @_cruzctrl1, and yeahhhhh, more relevant than ever.

@SEANO4D5 @RyanAlter I fully don’t expect to alter pill all my friends on here 😀 just pointing out that he is pretty moderate on most issues . Agree he needs to get better on homeless, but he is evolving i hope!

@data_atx @RyanAlter @data_atx wow I was not expecting that from you. I figured you saw threw LYING RYAN'S propaganda.

I am conflicted on this race because @RyanAlter is my favorite council member. He is more conservative than people think and he is smart. ( Notice how he hasn't joined the Siegel + Zo gang on the recent ICE stuff and IT consolidation fight )

@dallasenfuego @dallasschools I hope this doesn’t give Austin’s leaders the confidence to try it here!

Dallas is cooked. Over 70% voted to RAISE THEIR OWN TAXES to pay for a $6B+ bond for crappy @dallasschools — which, believe me, won’t improve w/ more money. You people haven’t hit rock bottom yet. When you do, & if it hurts enough, it’ll knock some sense into you. At least @HP_Texas voted to exit @dartmedia

@RealTrigAshes Data centers barely use water compared to other things and we can generate enough electricity for everyone. Trump supports building data centers. It’s ok tho, we don’t have to agree on everything. MAGA is a big tent. 🤝

@data_atx Sir Conservative, You are aware that Texas hasn't the adequate water or electrical resources to effectively power these data centers?? You fluently appear like the football player smiling as they run toward the wrong field goal. 🤷‍♂️ Why are humans so dishonest and destructive?

I've seen enough. Lets call it. Incumbent pro-data center Mayor of Round Rock is winning in a landslide in the early-vote. Texas is data center country! 👷‍♂️ We will build the American AI infrastructure here

@TurnTaySJW nice, the paint job does stand out :)

@data_atx Oddly I just passed it driving on 183 and thought of this thread lol

New all you can eat sushi spot , Hokkaisan , opened up on 183 where that old cover 2 used to be heard it is blowing up on TikTok , very good!
