A growing Change.org petition with over 50,000 signatures is calling for Nashville International Airport to be renamed in honor of country icon Dolly Parton. Plus: Marriott CEO Anthony Capuano doubles down on diversity, equity, and inclusion, affirming Marriott’s global commitment to welcoming everyone to work and stay. And Boeing’s back in the hot seat as over 3,000 737s face a recall over faulty bathroom latches that literally trapped a passenger inside mid-flight.

It’s time for a little financial spring cleaning. From sneaky subscription fees to annual price hikes, we highlight the easy wins that can help tidy up your finances. In Caught My Eye, two international Delta flights were unexpectedly diverted to an Alabama airport—without a working customs office. And finally, we revisit the age-old debate: is peeing in the shower efficient or just gross? Plus, we celebrate the Business Birthday of Max Berlitz, founder of the Berlitz Language Schools and a pioneer in language education. Money, mishaps, and a little hygiene debate.

We’re all business. Except when we’re not.

Costco is the new Target—and not just for bulk snacks. As Target’s once-progressive halo dims under political pressure and plunging foot traffic, shoppers on both sides of the aisle are walking away. Meanwhile, a Texas judge defends free speech and drag, giving the green light for students to bring Draggieland back to Texas A&M. And finally, David Wallace makes the case for why gay bars still matter, even if straight people treat them like novelty nightclubs. Identity, retail, and resistance—it’s all on tap.

This week we unplug to reconnect: Gen Z is ghosting smartphones in favor of MP3 players, flip phones, and digital cameras—because what’s old is suddenly minimalist chic. Then, we meet the real gatekeepers of New York convenience stores: Bodega Cats. Plus, a woman in Pennsylvania accidentally gives away her $2.5 million lottery ticket—stuffed in a jacket donated to charity. And finally, we celebrate the man behind Barbie, Hot Wheels, and an empire of plastic dreams—Elliott Handler, founder of Mattel, is our Business Birthday.

We’re all business. Except when we’re not.

This week, justice is served with a $10 million payout to a lesbian police officer who faced relentless harassment in her own department. Then we ask: why is America so sad? Turns out, more of us are dining alone—and not just skipping dessert. Meanwhile, Hooters goes bust (bankrupt, not topless), but promises a comeback with more “family-friendly” vibes. Wings, loneliness, and justice—what more do you want?

What happens to your brain when you retire? In Shop Talk, we explore how staying sharp means having a plan and a purpose. Then, Caught My Eye reveals a shocking stat—75% of the world skips toilet paper (seriously!). Plus, scientists are studying hibernating squirrels to crack the code on deep-space travel. And our Business Birthday honors Erastus Bigelow, the father of modern carpets.

We’re all business. Except when we’re not.

The iconic Sundance Film Festival is packing up after 40 years in Park City, Utah, heading to Boulder, Colorado—but is it really about politics? Meanwhile, Anheuser-Busch drops St. Louis PrideFest after three decades of support, saying they "don’t see the value" (yikes). And if you’ve ever handed your DNA over to 23andMe, now might be the time to hit delete—the company is up for sale. Tune in for all the details!

Shop Talk looks at a simple word swap to make you sound more confident and assured. We agree. Caught My Eye yearns for the good ole days of the Luxor in Las Vegas. A recent review was not so kind to this once regal property along the Vegas Strip. Also, close to a million dollars’ worth of Tiffany diamonds are “retrieved” from a robbery suspect who swallowed them…in Florida. Duncan Hines, namesake of various food-related businesses, is our Business Birthday.

We’re all business. Except when we’re not.

This June World Pride invites LGBTQ people from around the world to Washington, D.C. Organizers are playing each day by ear as the Trump Administration cracks down on DEI initiatives and those federal agencies or companies that don’t adhere to his orders will lose funding or contracts. Stay tuned. Then, a new LGBTQ bar in DC called Spark Social House is booze free and says they fill a niche of the 38% of Americans that do not drink alcohol. Finally, a new study finds that incorporating a nap into your day will make you healthier and more productive.

Shop Talk looks at how far a million dollars will go in retirement by state. Money will go fast in Hawaii but last a lifetime in West Virginia. Caught My Eye looks at the FDA’s crack down on VCR cleaner—or poppers—in the last month since RFK Jr. has joined the administration. Kennedy wrongly blamed the popular inhalant with causing the AIDS crisis in the 80’s. Also, quitting plastic bottled water can help your health as microplastics are often consumed by users via bottles that have gotten warm or bent. John Raskob, who built the Empire State Building with GM stock, is our Business Birthday.

We’re all business. Except when we’re not.
