Sometimes I think we should refocus our internet use to communicate with people locally. But then I look at the local Nextdoor and am even more dismayed....

Hah, funny thing, I've never used Nextdoor, but I have used a similar app: Citizens. It was when I saw a report of someone "weaponizing a remote control" that I decided to uninstall it.

I do not know how angry you have to be to turn a DirecTV remote into a lethal weapon, but I sleep more easily not knowing it happens. (Before that, I was using it to chart the progress of the protests and riots in Philadelphia a few months back. I'm in the heart of the city. It was...something.)
