• “Overstock is changing its name to Bed Bath & Beyond”- If a company buys a flailing competitor, I wouldn't have thought that taking the struggling brand’s name is the go-to next step here.

• “Diageo Cuts Ties With Sean Combs After Dispute Over Vodka, Tequila Venture”- The question seems to be… Diddy’do enough 🥁💥
