❤️ At Abridge, feedback is our oxygen—and the most heartfelt feedback we get finds its way into a special internal channel we call "𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀."
This holiday season, we asked Abridgers to share their favorite 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀.
𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝘀.
Team @frontapp! Happy to share this recommendation any day, @collinmathilde.

Today's a good day to make sure you're paying for at least one news subscription.
If the last few weeks are any indication, we need robust newsrooms to keep up with this insane news cycle.

This @sfchronicle article is a great reminder of why we need journalists. The powerful need to be held accountable. sfchronicle.com/crime/articl…
As a former journalist, I know a good, authentic story when I see one.
It didn't take long to know I'd found one I wanted to be a part of with @alicevdeng and @LawLM.
We're in the early chapters, but it's been better than I could've imagined!
At @slopepay, we’re excited to announce our $30M round led by @USV with major participation from @sama - bringing our total equity/debt funding to $187M. Since launching in Aug ‘21, we are over 8 figures in ARR and are a lean team of 18. In the midst of this excitement, I wanted to share color on what it took to get to where we are. A 🧵
This should be unbelievable. Sadly, it's so believable today.

I ride my bike by this building every day and did pre-pandemic as well. It appears to be getting worse at 7th and Mission, UN Plaza, etc.
@mattdorsey, what's being done? Abandoning buildings doesn't seem like a solution that will enable SF to recover.
Officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services advised hundreds of employees in San Francisco to work remotely for the foreseeable future due to public safety concerns.

Congrats to the @sfchronicle for crushing the endorsement this election cycle! I feel so torn on newspaper endorsements, but these endorsements were the most informative things I read on state and local elections.

Happy birthday @BoiseDev! May we see many more like you in the years to come.
Having spent the better part of a decade trying to learn what might save local news, BoiseDev's tagline aligns w/ what I've seen work:
"Local news, locally owned. We put readers FIRST." (1/4)
This quoted post is unavailable.
I don't say meet Don and try to replicate exactly what he's done in your community. I don't think BoiseDev can be replicated — like we so often try to do with local news.
What they can teach is how to understand a community's unique needs and meet them in editorial and ads. (3/4)
Congratulations to @DonLDay and his entire team! It's been impressive to watch this business grow and grow as the local news industry has faced layoffs, bankruptcies and so many other hardships in the last 6 years. (4/4)
