Harley-Davidson released a statement Monday renouncing DEI and other controversial company initiatives in the wake of social media outrage and withering pressure from longtime loyal bikers. 

“It is critical to our business that we hire and retain the best talent and that all employees feel welcome,” the statement reads. “That said, we have not operated a DEI function since April 2024, and we do not have a DEI function today. We do not have hiring quotas and we no longer have supplier diversity spend goals.”

The statement also said Harley-Davidson was reassessing employee training initiatives and sponsorships while refocusing on its most loyal...

Are there even any DEI departments left anymore?

It seems like every week another company is announcing the closure of their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion departments, or scaling back their corporate activities and donations focused on social causes and deciding to spend more time on...you know, things that actually have to do with their business.

The changes have largely come as a result of...

Harley-Davidson Announces Changes After Backlash Over LGBTQ+ Sponsorships, “Woke” DEI Policies

Let’s face it, America is primarily a four-wheeler-dominated market. Trucks, SUVs, and muscle cars have been the driving forces for years, and you’ll spot them way more than any other automobile.

Only three of the deceased riders are confirmed to have been wearing helmets. That's one more death when compared to the 2023 rally. The Sturgis Rally finished on August 11th, and in the period just before, during, and after the event, 12 riders were left dead as a result of road traffic accidents. Of the riders killed, just three were confirmed to have been wearing helmets, while seven of the riders weren't wearing helmets. It's still under investigation whether or not two of the riders were wearing helmets.

A woman who lost her tongue to cancer had it reconstructed with flesh from her left arm – and has a tattoo on it.

Jennifer Alexander, 52, was 37 when she was first diagnosed with stage one tongue cancer.

For over a decade before that she had a recurring leukoplakia – a painful white patch on her tongue caused by HPV.

After undergoing surgery on August 21, 2009 to remove the tumour, the cancer returned twice – in October 2017 and October 2019.

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart. Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
