I like NPR but I wonder why their slugs have that weird bit of code after the date/time

"nx-s1-5092087" looks like a random string that might trigger some automated firewalls or checks

probably a post id. the rest of the slug is for seo. For example this link works fine without slug.

The problem is this specific url on twitter (probably due to mass reporting of the link by bots, or a manual ban).
