Does anyone in #Detroit happen to know if there is anything in the Draft Shop that’s like limited edition or like shirts that are only being sold this weekend or anything like that? Just wondering if I should go grab gifts for friends who are fans

On Sunday, March 24, Detroiters banished the Nain Rouge from the city for another year at the annual Marche du Nain Rouge. Legendary among the early #French settlers of Detroit, the Nain Rouge (French for "red dwarf") was purported to appear at various times throughout the city's history just prior to a catastrophic event, such as the great fire of 1805, the surrender of #Detroit to the British during the War of 1812. #folklore#legend#nouvellefrance#urbanlegend#history#nainrouge
I had the greatest fun today, not watching the #Lions game, but following it on my phone and reading the social media posts of Lions fans who, for the most part, had an awful lot to say about how the team is terrible, that it’s the “same old Lions,” bench Goff, fire Aaron Glenn, etc.
And then . . . the Lions came back.
And they won.
We are NOT used to this. We might NEVER GET used to this.
Facial recognition technology jailed a man for days. His lawsuit joins others from Black plaintiffs
"A lawsuit filed this month blames the misuse of facial recognition technology by a sheriff’s detective in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, for his ordeal. (...) Quran, 29, is among at least five Black plaintiffs who have filed lawsuits against law enforcement in recent years, saying they were misidentified by facial recognition technology and then wrongly arrested. Three of those lawsuits, including one by a woman who was eight months pregnant and accused of a carjacking, are against Detroit police. The technology allows law enforcement agencies to feed images from video surveillance into software that can search government databases or social media for a possible match. Critics say it results in a higher rate of misidentification of people of color than of white people." https://apnews.com/article/mistaken-arrests-facial-recognition-technology-lawsuits-b613161c56472459df683f54320d08a7 #Facialrecognition#Technology#Privacy#videoSurveillance#Detroit#USA
I did not realize how easy it was to collectively fight medical debt. Just learned about this initiative in Philly that raised over $17.000 and erased 1.6 MILLION in medical debt for the community. Let's do this in our own communities!
A group of Philadelphians erased $1.6 million in local medical debt. They celebrated with an unofficial debt burning.
Going to #Detroit for a few weeks to help a friend with a job! It's gonna be cold as hell there but my friend built a sweet sauna in their basement so at least there is that!
