Grateful for the Glendale Cherry Creek’s thoughtful writeup of Next’s street safety coverage. But for the sake of accuracy, our viewers are Godless mercenary hordes, not “hords,” whatever that means.

Out of characters, but since we’re talking about disclosures, probably appropriate for me to point out that 9NEWS is a reporting partner of The Gazette.

I never wrote about it in an article. But I can confirm during my early reporting gathering that I saw his PR website up, and I repeatedly asked Gazette management about Samuelson’s PR work mentioned on his website.

None of my numerous messages were returned.

And then the site was scrubbed.

Want to guess when Sean Payton announced Bo Nix's ankle injury?

The get-in price for Sunday's Broncos-Patriots AFC championship game is down to $383, as @bianchiweather.bsky.social forecasts ridiculous cold.

Ticket prices are down 36% over the last three days, according to TicketData.

67 people-tracking Flock cameras across the U.S. were live-streaming on the internet, easily accessible with no login needed, @404media.co & @bennjordan.bsky.social found.

We know of five compromised Flock cams in Colorado.

One belongs to Douglas County, and it's at an open space trailhead.

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Flock sees you when you're sleeping
Flock knows when you're awake
Flock knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

President Trump’s “pardon” of Tina Peters has no more authority than the plastic Sheriff badge from a box of Cracker Jacks. Unless SCOTUS creates a sweeping new presidential power.

Some of Colorado’s top criminal justice minds called it “bonkers,” “garbage,” and “a loser.”

Denver scaled back a street safety project after pushback from the family of Colorado's wealthiest man.

While the city told the public that construction was the hold up, @spencersoicher.bsky.social obtained internal city emails showing the issue was "high level" community concerns.

Jim Avila rocked.

I was lucky to work with Jim when he came to work in local news in San Diego.

He loved being the smart guy in the room with younger reporters. We loved him back.

He’d send the kindest messages after stories. Like this one on my last day. He made me feel like a million bucks

Outgoing conservative DougCo school board member Becky Myers said the quiet part out loud. Then, just a minute later, she denied they were trying to railroad it through before the new board took over.

Regardless, the less than subtle attempt failed.

This may be the attention issues taking control of my brain in a guaranteed to be long Denver City Council meeting…

But isn’t the ceiling in this room very cool?

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is advocating for Flock surveillance cameras, sometimes using false or misleading claims. His claim that Flock cameras solved a missing woman's murder is not true. Her mother tells our @spencersoicher.bsky.social she is "shocked and appalled" by the Mayor's claim.
