✈️ A tragedy was averted at the Atlanta airport thanks to the swift actions of a family, who alerted police that their family member had threatened to “shoot up” the airport in a social media live stream. The man was arrested in the terminal before he could inflict any harm.

Bon Jovi’s ‘pay it forward kitchen’ is serving free meals to furloughed federal employees amid the government shutdown
Bon Jovi’s JBJ Soul Kitchen has always operated on a “pay it forward” model, but two of its locations and one in-library pop-up in New Jersey are now also offering free three-course meals to government employees impacted by the shutdown.
This isn’t the first time the Bongiovis have opened the doors of the kitchen to federal workers in need. During the government shutdown during Donald Trump’s first presidency in 2019, JBJ Soul Kitchen offered the same resources.
Why is this good news? An estimated 1.4 million federal workers are entering a third week either furloughed or working without pay, with about 48,000 in New Jersey alone — about half of whom are serving in the U.S. military.
Those workers may not know how long they’ll be without pay, but they do know a neighborhood restaurant will welcome them with a free meal.
About 60,000 children have avoided developing peanut allergies thanks to a landmark 2015 guidance
In 2015, a landmark study proved that feeding peanut products to young babies could prevent the development of life-threatening allergies.
A decade after new guidance was issued based on those findings, recommending introducing the allergen in infants as young as 4 months old, new research has found it’s prevented about 60,000 children from developing peanut allergies.
The rate of peanut allergies in children ages 0 to 3 fell by more than 27% after guidance for high-risk kids was first issued in 2015, and by more than 40% after the recommendations were expanded in 2017.
