My five-year video odyssey of the #NationsTrex: from @MORPaleo to @ResearchCasting to @NMNH, via @FedEx. After 66 million years, a T. rex makes its grand debut https://t.co/yKpy5NBWPz

@jayrosen_nyu The biz model for newspapering is busted. Think of it as a three-legged stool:

+Display advertising: search/Web killed it
+Classifieds: Craigslist killed it
+Subscriptions: news for free killed it

For many metro papers, thick classifieds were pure profit. And funded newsrooms.

The long goodbye begins ⁦@NationalZoo⁩ as they say farewell to all three pandas. Like any young person, the 3-year-old first picked off everything sweet from his ice cake. https://t.co/4zfE3jPENg

Where world leaders attending UN General Assembly park their jets - @Dulles_Airport. More room and undoubtedly cheaper than @JFKairport

Who’s ready for some football? The coming ⁦@NFL⁩ season has some new owner faces ⁦@Commanders⁩. A who’s who at all 32 teams, with the illustrator’s eye of ⁦@camorris⁩. https://t.co/GqkiuUJIfH

Highly-automated or fully autonomous flight is coming. We go inside this burgeoning side of aviation @WiskAero and @skyryse. Watch to learn more. Stay to see if this @washingtonpost non-pilot reporter noses a helicopter into the dirt. https://t.co/Mea124LIym

@farhip Too many streamers, too many shows being made few are watching, all things considered. Maybe these strikes will finally knock off Peak TV. With 2-3 survivors left, audience choice will be limited and the remaining streamers will price accordingly.

Today, flying the friendly but weather-beaten skies of @united. Paging paint shop on this @Boeing 737-800.

[Lee Powell @leepowellTV]

Calling @united TechOps … @Boeing 737-800 N14230: just at my seat, a tray table hanging on by a thread. And a busted window shade.

[Lee Powell @leepowellTV]

You’ve been news road warrior too when you can tell the unsure @united agent how to pull up the media bags category in their system. First Q to agent: are you on Jet or Aero?

So what's the deal with railroads? After the #EastPalestineOH derailment, they're back in the news. But they were America's first big business. Here's their story, told through six charts: https://t.co/BL4XeZK7Dc

Lithium is the silvery, super-soft, highly unstable, electron-shedding metal everyone’s after for EVs and batteries powering our lives. Our journey to find it stretched from Nev. to N.C.: https://t.co/siRekwFn0f

In light of #Southwest woes, these cheeky gate messages suddenly seem out of step. You have to fill a blank screen with some sort of branding, but read the room?

[Lee Powell @leepowellTV]

Know your airport code @SouthwestAir in @BWI_Airport.

[Lee Powell @leepowellTV]

And we’re off to @BWI_Airport. About 11 min behind schedule. It’s 3h 15 min tonight across a chunk of the country at 39,000 feet … 5/

[Lee Powell @leepowellTV]

Among travel despair @SouthwestAir, maybe a glimmer of hope. We start @ABQSunport … 1/

[Lee Powell @leepowellTV]

But this flight is the tale of the tail (number). N227WN, a 17-year-old Boeing 737-700 has been keeping or beating its schedule today. It started in DAL then LAX-LAS-ABQ-BWI, where it will end its day. And for this last leg, only 120 of 143 seats are filled … 4/

A rail link to Washington from far-out @Dulles_Airport was always sketched into plans when it opened in 1962. It just took a while - WATCH: https://t.co/DY5Dx5vXcC

We are live @washingtonpost covering midterms 2022. I’m in Raleigh on the tossup NC Senate race. Watch all things election and politics: https://t.co/1R4lREdP2P
