Today on Clips.tv

Tuesday morning: the 6am regulars at Dot's Diner, filmed from the counter stool nobody else sits in. Two minutes and eleven seconds of griddle noise and gossip. New clips go up every morning around 7, so there's always something fresh to scroll on the bus.

The clip wall

The last few weeks of the neighborhood, laid out like a contact sheet. Every clip has a runtime, a caption written by an actual human, and the name of the neighbor who shot it. Tap anything that looks interesting — most of it's under a minute.
