Speaks to something deeply wrong with capitalism that Lampert was allowed to annihilate the value of this company to less than nothing while still walking away with hundreds of millions in profits for himself from the saga.
Sears had more than 3,400 stores in 2005 -- then it was purchased by a hedge fund magnate.

Many of us are exhausted having worked to learn the truth of our own history on our own, but also having to learn the history of American white people that most white ppl refuse to learn.
That is partly why when you say “why are you surprised” it’s so annoying. Believe me, we are not surprised!

It kind of bugs me that there's no such thing as comprehensive, free family MDM. I'd love for there to be an easier way for me to remotely support at least the devices in the Apple ecosystem that are scattered throughout my family.
It is surprising to me that none of the major platforms have actual _parental control_ features so that we can limit the amount of time that our parents can spend online, and which apps they’re allowed to use. I don’t worry about my teenager’s use of the internet at all, just my octogenarian dad’s.

Not only kidnappers, but looters too.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

"Donald the dove" was never true in any intellectual sense, but it's always been true on a practical sense. Doves are terrible at building nests, bad at raising chicks, bad at flying, basically anything you'd expect a bird-type thing to be good at, they're terrible at.

"We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say.

“Cesar Marenco, owner of Milagro Towing, has become a regular Waymo door-closer. He recently freed a robotaxi by removing a seat belt caught in its rear door, an operation he captured with Meta smart glasses & shared on TikTok.
‘Goodbye, Waymo,‘ Marenco said in the video, which has 400,000+ views”

When robot taxis get stuck, a secret army of humans comes to the rescue
Waymo robotaxis get stranded when a passenger leaves the door open. Tow truck operators can get paid $22 to close a door and set them free again.
