Oopsie Daisy's JournalHave you ever heard of the DOOR KICK CHALLENGE?
Was the "ding-dong" kid actually a "door-kick-challenge" kid? Or was he just ringing and running away as we used to do when I was a kid? What more is there to know?

TED TALK LINK: https://www.ted.com/talks/dustin_ballard_is_ai_ruining_music
What makes music “real” — is it the instruments, the voice, the creator’s intention or something else entirely? Dustin Ballard, the creative force behind the viral channel “There I Ruined It,” explores the weird, wonderful and sometimes unsettling ways AI is reshaping music.

'People just need to control their kids more' -- Teens vandalize DC convenience store overnight
A group of 20 to 30 teens were caught on camera swarming 24/7 Best Tobacco and Wireless around 11:40 p.m.

WASHINGTON — A large group of teenagers vandalized and stole from a convenience store in Northeast D.C. just before midnight Friday, police said. Now, the community says something needs to be done to control the youth and protect the neighborhood.
The group of 20 to 30 teens were caught on camera swarming the 24/7 Best Tobacco and Wireless on the 1500 block of Benning Road around 11:40 p.m. Friday. They threw items in and outside of the store. When an employee tried to lock the door, teens pulled it open, damaging the door.
"CVS closed, the Dollar Tree hasn't been open in sometime, I don't even know if they might open back up," Hill said.
Another customer, Dena Williams, said actions like this affect the neighborhood. "This is our community that we're trashing," Williams said. "It's funky, it stinks, the stores are dirty. And I don't know what we're going to do."
I like the "new" Pamela Anderson...
... better than the old. She's a natural beauty without even trying. An inspiration to many like myself who only use a minimal amount of lip color and no foundation.
Why Costco Went All in on Kirkland --- and How It Paid Off
Costco went against industry standards in 1995 with the creation of its private label, Kirkland Signature. With $86 billion in sales last year, Kirkland is now a bigger brand than Procter & Gamble and Kraft-Heinz. Compared with other mass retailers like Target and Walmart, which have multiple brands, club channels like Costco and Sam’s Club are winning the private-label food and beverage space by consolidating.
WSJ breaks down why Kirkland is now the retail behemoth’s secret weapon.
