“They got me with this!”: Target is quietly removing prices from tags. Customers say it makes them less likely to make a purchase
After warnings from employees months ago, Target appears to be leaving prices off its clothing tags, igniting customer complaints. On Reddit, a viral post showed tags that omitted any price for the shirts and jeans for sale at the big box retailer, stirring fears that “dynamic pricing” is coming to physical stores.
Nobody appears to want this but the owners, so it’s coming.
Explaining the “Stranger Things” #conformitygate, and why some fans aren’t convinced the show is really over
After almost a decade, Stranger Things officially ended on Dec 31, 2025. However, instead of closure, the finale led to confusion, disappointment, and a viral conspiracy theory. As fans processed their feelings about the final episode, the hashtag #conformitygate began trending online.
Department of Homeland Security attacks Hilton hotels over its alleged refusal to house ICE agents, sparking memes about the Third Amendment
A Hilton hotel brought up the Third Amendment for perhaps the first time in living memory by refusing to house ICE agents. The official Department of Homeland Security (DHS) account on X accused the entire company of a “coordinated campaign” to turn away their people, though it appears to have been the work of a single hotel.
The DHS called this “unacceptable,” and suddenly everyone’s Googling the Third Amendment.
