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.
Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott reduced her stake in Amazon by 42% — while donating millions to DEI causes
In just the past year, billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott cut her stake in Amazon from 139.1 shares to just 81.1 shares — a 42% reduction that equates to roughly $12.6 billion.
In 2020, Scott signed the Giving Pledge — a promise by the world's wealthiest philanthropists to give the majority of their wealth to charitable causes — and her donations have, so far, outpaced many of her peers.
In recent months alone, she's supported DEI causes, including $42 million to expand college access for low-income and largely non-white students, $70 million to HBCU scholarships, and $50 million to scholarships for Native students.
Even more good:In the past five years, Scott has given over $19 billion in no-strings-attached, unrestricted gifts to more than 2,000 nonprofits. She's done this all relatively quietly, and even breaking her own giving records. The fact that these gifts are unrestricted means the recipients can use them most strategically.

The Savannah Bananas partnered with the Negro League Museum to bring back the legendary Indianapolis Clowns
The Savannah Bananas' Banana Ball Championship League features six teams playing 60 games apiece in 2026. One of those teams is the Negro Leagues' Indianapolis Clowns, "the greatest barnstorming baseball team for over 50 years."
The Clowns have been called "the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball," and their approach to playing baseball is what originally inspired Bananas' founder and owner Jesse Cole.
Cole said partnering "to bring the Clowns to millions of fans all over the country and preserve their legacy is a dream come true," and Negro Leagues president Bob Kendrick said it was a "tremendous opportunity to not only entertain, but educate fans about the rich history of the Negro Leagues."
Good history:Before he became Major League Baseball's home run king, Hank Aaron got his professional start with the Clowns. He only played there for a few months before he was picked up by the then-Milwaukee Braves, but he always credits the Clowns for giving him the platform to showcase his incredible talent.
A nurse and scientist created a wearable patch to detect heat strain in outdoor workers
A scientist at Emory University collaborated with the Georgia Institute of Technology to develop a biopatch for outdoor workers to wear in order to better track and protect their health.
Roxana Chicas' "comfortable and unobtrusive" patch uses sensors to monitor many vital signs at once, like skin temperature, hydration, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels, with AI detecting early warning signs of overheating.
After migrating from El Salvador to the U.S. at four years old, Chicas was trained as a nurse, and eventually developed the device after hearing about the work her family and friends did in construction and landscaping, often helping translate medical information for them.
Why is this good news? Everyone deserves a safe, healthy working environment. People who labor outdoors, especially in the sun and heat, are exposed to health variables that require specific attention and monitoring, and this device helps enable medical interventions before they reach emergency-level.
A new study has scientists 'cautiously optimistic' about the survival of one of the world's most endangered whales
North Atlantic right whales were expected to go extinct within our lifetime, but a new report found the population estimate for the critically endangered species was 384 in 2024, an eight-whale increase from the previous year.
The New England Aquarium confirmed that the rare species has shown "slow growth" in the last four years overall.
Although they gained protection from whaling in the 1930s, the North Atlantic right whale remains at risk of vessel strikes and entanglements with fishing gear.
Why is this good news? While this uptick might seem small, it's actually a considerable milestone for right whales, which have been headed towards extinction. The increase, combined with no detected mortalities and fewer detected injuries, has scientists "cautiously optimistic" about their future.
