First house I ever bought in Indiana in 1992 was only $60,000. Working on a story now about how the avg price of a new car is now nearly $50,000. It occurred to me are probably folks paying more for cars than their 1st home cost. If you know anyone who fits that bill, let me know

Such a great story by @allisondmorrow. Anyone who can work attacks on Suez Canal ship traffic, the danger of counterfeit weight loss drugs & labor intensive wedding dress alterations in a single story has certainly hit the reporting and writing Trifecta. https://t.co/WkuCJ1hiPH

For years, China was where global automakers went to sell cars and make money. No longer. Great overview of the change in world's most important market for cars by @hannaziady https://t.co/ih3yOMIByh

RT @RiverAveBlues: It really is time to fire him. The June swoon is turning into a rest of the season swoon for the third straight year. Yo…

Four starts ago when he shutdown KC, Rodon looked like he could be going to the All Star game. He was 9-2 and 2.93 ERA. Now the only way he goes is as home run derby pitcher.

ANOTHER ONE 💥 George Springer has hit a three-run homer in back-to-back innings! https://t.co/pHekYMjgHZ

Do you believe the "miracle" of artificial intelligence is going to make it difficult to believe what you see or hear? Yes! That's not Al Michaels you'll hear giving you Olympic recaps on NBC this summer. https://t.co/TVFyRGXjrz

Great look at the severe health risk to workers forced to work in extreme heat like we're seeing this week, by @aliciawallace https://t.co/GyrhoOJZow

Sad. Chicago was always one of the great newspaper towns on the planet. What has happened to print newspaper industry is a massive loss for this country.

The last newspapers ever to be printed in the City of Chicago. Cheers to the Chicago Tribune Pressmen and Presswomen who made this miracle happen every night at the Freedom Center. -30- https://t.co/xAtPo7gEZx

Another day, another report of a problem with a 737 Max. This time it was stuck rudder pedals during a landing. From @petemuntean https://t.co/XI19bnuVB4

I know it's only March 4 but I think this is going to end up my favorite story of the year - @PeterDrives great explanation about why some countries drive on the right side of the street, and why some drive on the left. https://t.co/bmLf3a9fBa

Since start of streaming, Northern Exposure has been on the list of shows I most wanted to be able to stream. This week my wishes were answered. Just watching the first couple of episodes is like getting together once again with a bunch of good friends I haven’t seen in years. https://t.co/gs1aBU1ygX

Love Seth Meyers' opening bits. None more than his "In Other News" segment last night that was so thoughtful and so well written. Yeah, it was funny too, but that was the least important thing that it was. Watch it. https://t.co/ET99vnWD5U

Connections Puzzle #204 I never post my results on Connections. And I won’t give any spoilers for Monday’s. But for those who play it, and who know me, you’ll be shocked I got the green category without any errors. 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪

So decided to get away from work and a busy 6 months of covering strikes and labor issues and watch an episode of sci-fi alternate history series I've been following, For All Mankind. Spoiler alert - tonight's episode is about a strike on Mars.

Hyman Roth was right. Most casino operators today are more valuable than the $14.1B value of the the deal for US Steel. So is FanDuel. And yet there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town.

Michael, we’re bigger than US Steel. Japan’s Nippon Steel buying US Steel for nearly $15 billion. $55 a share. Solid premium. $X up 28% #premarket. cc: @chrisidore

My wife @ProfBirge spotted this great story about upcoming typewriter auction it prompted two questions by me: If you could own anyone's typewriter, whose would it be? And when was the last time you wrote something on a typewriter. https://t.co/qHspW11OTz
