People are tired of this shit. They get bored of gadgets. These companies have been seeding social media with fake doorbell cam content for years, and folks have largely caught on (Facebook users excepted). And I've been surprised at how mainstream opposition to Flock cameras has gotten.

Happy NBD to me!

Thank you Karl at Perennial for putting this beast together for me. I'm super excited to take it out, now I need to come up with a good name for it!

Door-opener shift at the mutual aid event space (doors stay locked)
Walking up to an open restaurant and pulling on the door before realizing it’s locked and you need to wait for someone to let you in. Pretty common experience the last 2 months around the metro.

Remember when ICE vehicles drove around in circles in North for a couple days while going wild elsewhere causing those spending their days following ice for content to all fly out?

Big news for Minnesota! From 2024 to 2025 we gained residents from domestic migration for the first time in almost a decade.

Extra exciting because this is the first year of data following historic public investments made during the 2023 legislative session 👊🎉

Lovely thread. Kudos to this small team of helpers.
Bopping in to say that clearing ice from corners and bus stops is excellent community care and also good for getting out some kind of energy and connecting with strangers.

We had several block parties/mutual aid fundraisers throughout the neighborhood today. I met several neighbors I didn’t yet know.

Bored on a long flight so here’s my philosophy on sharing links here. If I pay for a news site & get gift links, you get as many as I can give. If I pay but no gift links, I will use archive.is & breech your paywall. You‘re already getting my money, don’t be assholes about letting me market you. 1/x
