A source with the group just confirmed to me that the Commodores will NOT be performing at "The Great American State Fair." They had been listed for June 27th.

You know it’s a fun birthday party when you get to hang with both @muellershewrote.com and @antitoxicpeople.bsky.social. And the hero of Wayergate!

My home was burglarized this year and it was not investigated until @Mayor.lacity.gov Karen Bass put a fire under the LAPD. Tonight Mayor Bass called to give me the heads up on a big announcement. They’ve busted a gang believed responsible for 90 burglaries in Brentwood, Encino, and Sherman Oaks!

Truth is stranger than fiction: Mike Lindell texted me (a fact checker) suggesting I fly to Denver to testify FOR him at his defamation trial.

Oh, this is special. The first “community note” spotted in the wild on Instagram (a week after Meta ended fact checking) cites a Lead Stories debunk. I thought we were too biased. www.instagram.com/reel/DH08t99...

Kitty Dukakis would’ve made a great First Lady. This was January 2017, just days before the start of Donald Trump’s first term.

Screenshots from a bizarre AI-made Gaza video posted on President Trump’s TruthSocial. Bearded belly dancers, a huge golden Trump. Was it hacked?

My mom Nellie Duke passed this week. You didn’t know her, but if you read what I wrote for the local paper you will realize you know something about Newt Gingrich because of her. I buried the historical revelation near the middle.

Just got this loud alert saying ignore the last loud alert.

LA emergency officials have caused full scale panic by accidentally sending EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE an alert telling us to evacuate. Stay calm, LA.

This NYDN frontpage shows a 19yo me walking down Time Sq. with Jimmy Carter during 76 DNC. I've many great memories of covering him for decades. He made me proud to be a Georgian!

New York Daily News frontpage from July 15, 1976, shows Jimmy Carter with Secret Service agents, Alan Duke & other media, walking on Times Square.

New York Sanitation Dept is ready for President-elect Trump’s visit to Trump Tower today. Garbage trucks seem to be a way to quickly create a barrier to protect buildings.

A dive into my 8.2k X followers, all the way back to 2008, was a sad but useful journey. Many have been silent for years, long gone from the platform. That's 1 reason (not the main one) few will see this post on X. Yet, my new 2.2k followers on Bsky will.

New evidence: After 3 hours of this post on both platforms. With 5 times more X followers, there are NO X interactions. But 18 on Bluesky. (1 comment, 3 reports, 15 likes.)

After some A/B testing, I determined the value of a BlueSky follower compared to X is comparable to the US Dollar to a Russian Ruble.

I asked MidJourney to create images of how this week feels: Moving into BlueSky University after graduating from X High School.

The BlueSky migration reminds me of April 2009 when Ashton Kutcher raced against Larry King to be the first Twitter millionaire.

A group of geese is a gaggle. What is a group of fact checkers? I asked Claude.ai : A "verification" of fact-checkers. Alternative: A "scrutiny" of fact-checkers - emphasizing their detailed examination of claims. Midjourney created an image:
