Welllllllll
There goes my first #WatchDuty notification of 2026

Why I’m getting alerted to something in Antioch I am not quite sure; but it’s good to resolve the cognitive dissonance of “what the hell is that sound?” before it becomes important

Apparently Ring is also partnering with Watch Duty in addition to Flock.

#WatchDuty essentially runs on Slack behind the scenes. I'm curious to see if they respond to the owner being a fascist asshole.

Everybody has standards as long as it doesn't cause inconvenience. We'll see what happens.

Water tanker aircraft, fighting forest fires in southern New Mexico...have clearance to cross White Sands Missile Range.

The aircraft icon circled in red has just existed the restricted area of the range, and the icon circled in green is just entering the restricted area.

The Seven Springs fire on Mescalero Apache land in Otero county is a handful to control.
