Screenshot of an X post by β€œNo Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen” claiming Costco is demanding that Trump reimburse them for tariffs so they can refund customers. Below are two images side by side: the Costco Wholesale logo and a photo of Donald Trump looking at a phone while reporters hold microphones near him.

This is what all big companies should be doing.

DIRTY LOOPS - Forever Young (Alphaville Cover)
DIRTY LOOPS - Forever Young (Alphaville Cover) YouTube video by Dirty Loops

Seems that the Alphaville tune itself is very full of life. It spawned this *very* different cover by Swedish band Dirty Loops. DL usually covers much more recent releases. I adore it almost as much as the original, even though it's practically a whole new song.

Oh, look! Yet another manufactured crisis fire drill at the USPS due to poor management by Good Old Boys(TM) with deep conflicts of interest.

Target is making big changes to win back customers. Here's what shoppers can expect to see Target's merchandising leaders previewed the company's ambitious plans to overhaul key categories, including home and apparel, at an investor meeting.

#Target, I shopped with you (both brick+mortar and online) for 20+ years and was a huge fan during that time.

It is NOT about sprucing up your stores. Fix your anti - #DEI policies + your cooperation with #ICE, or you'll never see another red cent from me ever again.

This particular secular American cannot WAIT for the Christian Left to call the Christian Right (and Project 2025) on its multi-layered, multi-decade rancid pile of bullshit.

An utter disgrace. At our local Pittsburgh pro-democracy events over the past year, the mention of his name gets boos/jeers just as loud as Trump's. It's so hard to believe that I met him at a postal union HQ here in Pittsburgh when he was a surrogate for the Bernie Sanders campaign. What a fraud.

During the Depression, people scrimped to afford a phone, so he stayed busy w/ installation. The NJ mob wanted a phone -- but didn't want it to be reported to the central office. With a lump in his throat, he told them their phone wouldn't work if the central office didn't know about it ... #awkward

My paternal grandpa worked in insurance. But my maternal gramps, who helped raise me, was one of the Telephone Pioneers of America (i.e., he worked in the US telephone biz before 1920). He started with what would become NJ Bell as a splicer's assistant, climbing poles, with a 7th grade education.

If this had been a female reporter, her outlet would have been called fake news and she would have been called a terrible person, too.
