I am hearing reports of some airlines only offering flight credits to passengers for cancelled flights.
Let me be clear — you are entitled to get your money back promptly if your flight is cancelled and you don't take a rebooking.

If your brand is planning a post for 9/11 on Monday, remember that for most brands, it's more respectful to just be silent instead of posting something that may be seen as inappropriate or self-promotional.
If you're not sure about a post, err on the side of caution and don't.

‽ is called an 'interrobang.'
It is designed for use at the end of an exclamatory rhetorical question.
interro = interrogation point (the technical name for the question mark)
bang = printers' slang for the exclamation point.
Are you brave enough to use one in an email ‽‽

Perhaps creating a movie out of a cultural icon seems a safe bet. But #BarbieTheMovie has created a mythos and batch of devotees, including brands, all its own by curating viral moments leading up to today's release. #AdAgeHottestBrands ow.ly/XVxZ50Pi2Cb
Once again, @TheOnion tells it like it is. Keep saying the quiet part out loud, y’all.

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free by executive decree.
This day came to be known as #Juneteenth by the newly freed people in Texas.

I am in disbelief! I’ve been a @mygpb sustainer for YEARS and @PoliticsGPB is my favorite show. If I miss it on the broadcast, I will catch up with the podcast version. The LAST thing we need is to cut off the remaining civilized, balanced political discourse in our country!
GPB has announced a program realignment as part of a re-focus on its core mission as a public broadcaster. The organization has also announced that its daily show, @PoliticsGPB, will air its last show June 30. Read the release here. gpb.org/press-release/2023/0… @gpbnews

An Amarillo Federal District Court judge has just stayed the FDA’s approved use of Mifepristone, the abortion medication used safely since it’s approval two decades ago — an outrageous overreach that will impact abortion care throughout the country. #BansOffOurBodies

Guns kill 10x the number of Americans killed on 9/11 EVERY YEAR. It’s the #1 CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG CHILDREN. It’s OBSCENE that we leave the fight to end the scourge of gun violence in our country to the traumatized victims of gun violence. They deserve better. SPEAK THE FUCK UP.
