@BreezeAirways My aircraft was changed and then the flight was canceled because of weather where that plane is located. Texting has not been productive. Please help?

[Lesley Messer @lesleymesser]

This 🧵 is almost two years old and I still think about it all the time.

Being a working parent to young kids makes getting COVID a logistical nightmare — and that's before you even factor in the actual getting sick part.

[Amy Harmon @amy_harmon]

I wrote about several groups of people for whom it is important to keep masking, and the fear and isolation they are feeling as fewer Americans do. Many told me of pressure from friends, family, employers, others to take on risk they need or wish to avoid. https://t.co/KlcJFU4Zrw

This is terrifying. I'm thinking of all the parents who send their children to preschool at their local synagogue.

[FBI Newark @FBINewark]

The FBI has received credible information of a broad threat to synagogues in NJ. We ask at this time that you take all security precautions to protect your community and facility. We will share more information as soon as we can. Stay alert. In case of emergency call police.

The best In N Out order: cheeseburger with grilled onions, Animal Style; well-done fries; and a milkshake. (The milkshake is really a must.)

“My husband’s favorite is In-N-Out,” says Meghan Markle. “There’s one at the halfway point between L.A. and our neck of the woods. It’s really fun to go through the drive-thru and surprise them. They know our order.” https://t.co/YDDQTTwgg9

This is so depressing.

Some companies are trimming weeks off their benefits for new parents as employers confront inflation, anticipate a recession and try to re-establish prepandemic norms. w. ⁦@Angela_Y_Yang⁩ ⁦@WSJ⁩ https://t.co/FjKT071F7M

It costs so much more than $18,000 a year to raise a child.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

It now costs more than $300,000 to raise a child, or more than $18,000 a year for expenses like food, housing, haircuts and sports https://t.co/BCMgXPkcnw

[Lesley Messer @lesleymesser]

I can't underscore enough how exhausting it is to be the parent of children under five.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A federal judge in Florida struck down the national mask mandate on airplanes and public transit. But it’s still a good idea to wear a mask, experts say, especially on airplanes.

Here’s a guide to where, and when, you can safely take one off. https://t.co/ah2w1AXnhM

@mfuhrman I had this thought every single year when I walked past a Hot Topic to pick up my credential.

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

I wrote an article in today’s New York Times, about the bad and good news about being a human:

Ukraine’s foreign minister accused Russian forces of attacking a kindergarten and an orphanage. He said the Ukrainian authorities would send evidence of the attacks to The Hague, tweeting, “Responsibility is inevitable.”

This morning my oldest asked me, “What’s it called when you just want to be alone and eat all the food by yourself and not share?” Any takers?

@AlyndaWheat And still, the emotional hangover of today is so real.

We need a word to describe the specific feeling of pride and heartbreak that comes with being a sports fan. #Bengals

The Bengals are headed to the Super Bowl, Rihanna is having a baby, and this might be the most exciting Monday in the history of Mondays.

@ColeHaber I also love playing "Is it nothing or is it COVID?"

[Deena Shanker @deenashanker]

I am so tired of statements like this that completely ignore children under 5.
