[United Airlines @united]

As America celebrates 250 years, our newest specialty livery honors the selfless contributions of our nation’s veterans, including the 8,300 military veterans, of which 1,500 are active members of the National Guard and Reserve forces currently at United.

Painted on both a 737-800 and 787-10, you can track the Stars and Stripes planes with these tail numbers: N91007 and N78285

N774UA has returned to its birthplace in Everett.

The world’s oldest Boeing 777 still flying anywhere in the world arrived as UA3821 from San Francisco to Paine Field.
This United Airlines aircraft is line number 2 from the factory, seen here with its birthplace in the background.
Any idea why it came back to PAE?

“In 2016, [@SundarPichai] had declared Google would be an “AI-first company,” and began cultivating a series of projects—custom chips, Cloud, YouTube, and deep AI research—that seemed to have nothing to do with Google’s core search product. All of these bets have paid off, and then some.” — @TIME in their new #TIME100Companies cover story on Alphabet and AI → https://t.co/Uii9dpkzka

can they just agree on something???

[David Powe @frasiertrain]

Since June 2025, @DivvyBikes has added 148 stations & 1,711 docks. Riders took nearly 5M trips during that time.

Chicago now has 1,102 Divvy stations & 17,288 docks citywide. That’s 5.2 stations per sq mi, well past our goal of 4 stations per sq mi.

If you pitched this as a screenplay, every studio would reject it for being too on-the-nose.

Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit ranked 2,149th in his high school class. Zero FBS scholarship offers. Not one. He walked on at Cal, fought for a starting job, transferred to Indiana for his senior year, then led them to 16-0 and the first national title in school history. Heisman, Walter Camp, Maxwell, Davey O'Brien, Manning, Big Ten MVP. 41 TDs, 72% completion, 8-to-0 TD-to-INT ratio in the playoffs.

The Raiders took him #1 overall Thursday night. $54.56M fully guaranteed. Only the third player ever to win the Heisman, win a national championship, and go first overall the next spring. Burrow. Newton. Mendoza.

Then he skipped Pittsburgh.

The biggest stage in football, the moment every kid imagines from the second they pick up a ball, and Fernando watched the call from his living room in Florida because his mom Elsa is in a wheelchair and the travel is hard for her. She was diagnosed with MS when he was 4. She wrote a letter to her sons in The Players Tribune in 2015 promising the disease "won't affect us in the ways that matter."

The part nobody talks about: while every other top pick was on stage, Fernando announced the Mendoza Family Fund the same day. $500K personal donation to the National MS Society. Committed to raising $1M over three years. He hasn't taken an NFL snap and he's already given more to a cause than most players donate in a full career.

He and his brother Alberto have already raised $360K through the Mendoza Bros. Burger at BuffaLouie's in Bloomington. At Christmas, he handed four families dealing with MS $10,000 each for an Adidas shopping spree.

Both his parents are children of Cuban refugees who fled Castro. His dad rowed at Brown, won a Junior World Championship in 1987, and played high school football in Miami next to a teammate named Mario Cristobal. Fernando beat his dad's old teammate in the national championship game in January.

Every athlete talks about playing for their family. Fernando actually did it.

This is cool! @FlyAirNZ just put *bunk beds* on a plane.

I got a first look at the SkyNest, and it's unlike anything I've ever seen in economy class.

Chicago should complete the last four miles of lakefront parkland. In 2009, the cost was estimated at $350-450M. And, after that get to work on Burnham’s barrier islands.
