Getty Dr. Seuss books have been beloved by children and adults for generations, but 6 of them will no longer be published because they are racially offensive ... according to the business that preserves the author's legacy.

How Fashion Brands Have Optimized Their E-Commerce Efforts to Survive the Pandemic
I could go on for hours about the devastating impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic: the number of people who have lost their lives, the economic turmoil, the businesses that have been forced to close their doors and the ones still struggling to stay afloat. But I won’t. You’re already aware of the statistics, the ominousness. Every person who writes about the pandemic’s impacts speaks to this data. My industry — the retail industry — is one of the sectors that has been greatly affected by the pandemic, which cut off practically all cash flow from physical retail locations due to closures and restrictions. And as the pandemic continues, it’s impossible to anticipate when lockdowns and social distancing protocols will end so that stores can operate at full capacity again. But there has been one light at the end of this unrelenting tunnel, and it’s the one I want to focus on.

Neil Young Guitarist Poncho Sampedro Wants One Last Crazy Horse Tour
Neil Young and Crazy Horse were halfway between Oslo, Norway and Gothenburg, Sweden when their 2013 summer tour came to a premature end. Crazy Horse guitarist Frank “Poncho” Sampedro was headed downstairs from the top level of the band’s double-decker bus when they hit a little bump on the road. He grabbed onto the doorjamb with his left hand, but he didn’t realize that his road manager was about to close the door. “I actually felt the door slightly squeeze my fingers,” says Poncho. “I was thinking, ‘Hey, what’s that?’ He also felt it, and thought something was obstructing the door. So, he re-opened it and slammed it shut with all his might.” Poncho fell to the ground screaming. “When I looked at my fingers – from the tip of the fingernail to the cuticle – they were pointed straight up in the air,” he says. “They were just smashed to death.” Related Readers' Poll: The Best Neil Young Albums of All Time Readers Poll: The Best Neil Young Songs Related … [Read more...] about Neil Young Guitarist Poncho Sampedro Wants One Last Crazy Horse Tour
Why Keeping Your Word Is the Best Way to Show Respect
You’re only as good as your word. At least that’s what I was told as a kid. But is it true? President John F. Kennedy certainly thought so when he said, “I would rather be accused of breaking precedents than breaking promises.” In a world where politicians notably and consistently don’t keep their word, it is easy for the general public to do the same. After all, politicians are often viewed as leaders and moral beacons, so their behavior can become normalized in the public eye. In reality, politicians often aren’t moral authorities and, in my opinion, should be penalized each time they break their word for breaking their constituents’ trust. Where is that type of accountability in our society today? Why do we accept people breaking their word as normal?
