At @EWRairport for what was a noon @united flight, rescheduled this morning to 2:30. It’s 3:15 and we are sitting on the tarmac while carry on bags are loaded into cargo. Simple math, United. You knew there was room for only 40 bags. Why no proactive gate checking? Inexcusable.

Hey @getspectrum, thanks for confirming the 101 reasons I had for canceling my service today by making that process painful, insulting and ridiculous. The 34 minute call ended with your surly CSA saying “I hope you have the day you deserve.” I wished her the same.

@MerriamWebster Not mine, but this is one of my favorites

Question for you all: I am looking for inspiring, nonfiction books to listen to. Any recommendations?

This is incredible. Mr. Stanley, a high school chorus teacher is retiring, and he invited former students to come back and sing with him one last time. This is what happened. ❤️🎶 Sound all the way up

Through its Books Unbanned program, the @BKLYNlibrary offers teenagers across the United States access to its entire eBook collection, which includes @TheAmandaGorman's "The Hill We Climb." Spread the word.

Critiquing a gun-related bill today, TX Rep. James Talarico—a Presbyterian seminarian—rejected 'thoughts and prayers' rhetoric.

"There is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves. God moves, God works through us."

@Reuters Breaking news? Was this a surprise? 🤔

@NPRKelly @nprscottsimon @NPRWeekend What made this so beautiful and poignant was not only the nostalgia all parents feel for how fast it goes, but also the gut punch of working motherhood. No matter what we do, we can’t possibly do both perfectly.

Such a fan of yours! Can’t wait to read the book. 💙💙

New: Island-hopping on a superyacht. Private jet rides around the world. The undisclosed gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the Supreme Court. “It’s incomprehensible to me that someone would do this,” says one former judge. https://t.co/dHTdQmV5Ys

@matthews_p @HelenKennedy I don’t read it that way, since there is no comma after his name. I take it to mean the king himself, who is living as of the date of the declaration. 👑

@petersagal So grateful for all the fantastic journalists at @npr, most especially @NPRKelly , @NPRinskeep , @arishapiro , @NinaTotenberg . And of course you too, @petersagal !

Make sure you know what you're retiring to.

This was a hard post to write.

I almost didn't write it in fact. I've started and trashed this story many times.

But I believe there are important lessons in this story we can learn from.

Warning: this does not have a happy ending.

@gtconway3d @VerizonSupport Only time I’ve ever been able to get resolution to @VerizonSupport issues is via Twitter and connecting through DM. Must be a completely separate support infrastructure.

@0liviajulianna I went to high school and college in the 80s, so mostly handwritten or typewriter. Typically we were told how many pages, not words. Formal reports like term papers were always typed and we were told margin size and double or single spaced. That basically gets you to word count.
