Tariff refunds begin on Monday. These retailers are due big paydays U.S. importers, such as Walmart and Target, could be in line for billions in tariff refunds as the government launches its claims-filing portal on Monday.

Big retailers like Walmart and Target are set to get refunds from the Trump admin for tariffs that were deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.

What about the American people who paid a substantial portion of those tariff costs?

They get nothing.

Ke'Bryan Hayes must have some dirt on somebody in the Reds coaching staff.

That's the only way that guy is still getting ABs.

It seems the trick is to mix the healthy thing with the unhealthy thing to get a great average healthy thing.

I made a cauliflower and bacon soup and I'm not mad at it at all.

Watching this Trevor Noah comedy special and he's making a joke about white people thinking black pepper is a spice.

Everyone laughs.

But if it's not a spice then what is it?

I remember taking Cultural Appreciation classes in undergrad.

At the time, they meant nothing.

But now that I need an escape, and someone has provided it in the form of a quality movie, a series, or work of art, I truly understand the value of culture.

It is much appreciated.

It's a great app for all kinds of scholarship. Been using it for years.

Few write about working class whites like Arlie Russell Hochschild.

In this insightful chapter, her informants talks about class and race in a way that none of the elites on either side would like.

I want to teach sociology classes again just to have an excuse to teach this book.

A few decades ago MLB tried hard to separate itself from gambling.

Now it seems every other advertiser is a betting house.

What a turnaround.

I sounded the alarm when Donald Trump went after thousands of libraries and museums — and they just won BIG.

These are institutions that preserve our history, add BILLIONS to our economy, and educate future generations.

There's power in fighting back.

Why I am using #FOSS technologies.

In what world does one own something, but can't use it without setting up an account with the company?

I'm erasing this OS and installing Linux ASAP.

This will only be of significance to a few people...

but during the time of the writing of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams served on 23 committees in the Continental Congress.

23.

How is that possible?

I guess the reason every other professor in a movie is a writer is because every writer of professors in movies is a writer.

The only jobs that will remain in demand after the AI revolution are those in which human to human interaction produces the best outcome.

Sex work. Nursing. Teaching. Counseling. Home health care. And sex work again.

I cannot and won't read the article, so I won't speak on that.

I do believe that this site and almost any other social media *will* foster this kind of behavior - it is embedded in the very design of these sites.

To me the Trump administration's policies can be reduced to one goal: An affirmative action program for white conservative Christians - especially male.

So this tracks.

Apparently it's some kind of fashion no-no to wear a t-shirt and blazer.

I've seen negative comments about this now several times on TV shows.

What is this world coming to?
