Newspaper withdrawal at the breakfast table
Mornings haven’t been quite the same around the house since Feb. 26–the last one that started with a print copy of the Washington Post landing somewhere near our front walk, making less of a thud than it once did, sometime before dawn.
That marked the end of a streak of Post home delivery that had run decades, going back to my first apartments out of college in Arlington and D.C. The wanton destruction of much of my old newsroom, followed by my seeing the sad results of Jeff Bezos’s act of civic vandalism and then facing an imminent renewal of our print subscription, pushed me to terminate that streak–in sorrow, not anger.
(The Post’s site didn’t even offer me a discount on my way out.)
Since then, the demise of a daily habit of analog news reading has left me with a breakfast-table problem: What do I read instead to ensure I still start the day by informing myself? Ideally, without bringing a touchscreen device to the table?
One early answer had been collecting dust on other household surfaces: the print magazines we get.
I’m one of the many people who subscribed to Wired in early 2025 in appreciation of that publication’s outstanding coverage of the Trump administration’s abuses of power. But until the dead-tree edition of the Post wasn’t occupying space on the breakfast table, I let copies of that magazine pile up.
We also have back issues of such other print mags as the Air & Space Museum’s Air & Space quarterly and the UVA and Georgetown alumni magazines my wife and I get. I’ve been reminded that they’re worth reading with a morning coffee–among other things, I now know that the coffee company I keep buying from at Costco was founded by another Hoya.
And there’s a slightly less-portable form of printed media, books. My current read is my Post friend Sara Kehaulani Goo’s memoir Kuleana, in which she unpacks her Hawaiian heritage and her family’s struggles to hold on to the last of some ancestral land.
If I must turn to a touchscreen, I’ve realized that my digital reading should be one of the most newspaper-like forms of online publishing, RSS. Catching up with favorite sites via that online-syndication format seems healthier than flipping over to social media.
I can also read the Washington Post on the web or in its Android or iPad apps–my Arlington and D.C. library cards provide free online access, notwithstanding the occasional glitch renewing that freebie. And yet I don’t turn to what I think of as my alma mater of journalism as often as I did when I paid for it. I feel a little bad about that.

🎮🤯 The #FAA is apparently convinced that the best way to manage America's #airspace is by recruiting gamers—because after all, if you can navigate a virtual world, surely you can handle a few hundred real planes, right? 🙄✈️ Seems like the only thing landing smoothly here is the punchline.

"The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday gave the military the green light to use high-energy lasers to shoot down suspected drones in U.S. airspace, ending a two-month standoff over whether the weapons endangered airplanes."

I first heard, then looked up and saw, what I believe was the Boeing E-4 Advanced Airborne Command Post, a Boeing E-4, flying overhead on my lunch walk in Alexandria, VA. This was at ~12:52pm EDT.

"He declared that we had air dominance. I've heard of air superiority. Yeah. But air dominance, well, then how the hell did an F-15 get shot down? And of course, he's going to use this as an excuse. We already have, what, 10,000 or more troops poised to go on the ground. …At the end of the day, this is going to be the reason and the rallying cry for putting boots on the ground."

"And then we learn, as we learned yesterday, tragically, that an American bomber is shot down by Iran. You know, Iran is supposed to not have any capacities to do this kind of thing."
-
"Trump saying we have everything under control, that Iran's air defenses are obliterated: I mean, it's just exactly what Pete Hegseth said weeks ago. I think, in fact, on March 5th, he said, in a few days, the two most powerful air forces in the world will have complete control over Iranian forces. skies, uncontested airspace."

"Iran’s ability to shoot down two US planes and damage two helicopters in a single day demonstrates that Trump and Hegseth lied to the American people about US total control of airspace over Iran."

"It is a direct and documented contradiction — and the missing weapons systems officer, whose location is currently unknown, is its human consequence. The rest of the world already knows this. Now you do too."
-
"On Friday, Iran shot down an F-15E Strike Eagle — a front-line US combat aircraft — over Iranian territory, and downed or damaged three more aircraft during the rescue mission. One American crew member is still missing inside Iran. This is not a minor discrepancy between what the president said and what happened."
-
"The international military press has been tracking the contradiction between Trump’s public characterization of Iran’s degraded defenses and the operational reality on the ground since the war began. The F-15E shootdown will now anchor that coverage. …
WHAT AMERICAN READERS NEED TO KNOW: On Wednesday, the President of the United States told you that Iran had no anti-aircraft equipment and that its radar was completely destroyed."
-
"Less than 48 hours after Donald Trump told Americans that Iran had 'no anti-aircraft equipment' and that its radar was '100 percent annihilated,' Iran shot down a United States Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle over its own territory."
