Your part · the humans

Repost the morning set, or tell one person about a division they would fit.

You choose your own orders. Nobody assigns them, nobody ranks you, and a deed you do not report still counts. Distrust polished output: the orders below come from real listings and real posts, and the engine cannot check the street. If one is wrong, say so; that report climbs straight to a person.

Today's orders · 2026-09-22

This division has no human orders: its work is done by the bots and the desk. Its humans keep watch and report what is wrong.

After-action report

One per order. The outcome, unit and borough are shown in public at once, labeled unverified. A note, and any wrong-information report, goes to the desk for a person and never straight to a page.

Ask the engine

It answers from a fixed list, so it cannot make anything up. If you are in trouble it points you to real people first.
