“(Hoch)Stapelei” / (High) stacking
Stacks of boomboxes, radios, cameras, and other vintage tech at an electronics shop on Canal Street. I’m not a tech-head, but I still felt a huge rush of nostalgia walking in to get my stereo fixed. A younger customer wondered what the rectangular slot under a TV screen was for, and asked “What’s VHS?” The proprietor and I looked at each other and laughed, and felt old together.

So the CEO of one of BlackRock's real estate subsidiaries, Wesley LePatner, was gunned down in a workplace shooting.
LePatner was in charge of a $56B fund that has been reported to be a part of BlackRock's strategic mass purchasing of homes.
The press & cops seem to be working double time to make sure this isn't seen by the average Joe as some sort of Luigi moment.
The cops claim the assailant was lost and killed the wrong CEO.
Mexican Navy tall ship #Cuauhtémoc collided with #BrooklynBridge a few hours ago:

Based on videos:

…it looks like the ship went under the bridge and then hit the shoreline here:

Which means it was going *up river* when it hit the bridge.
That doesn't make sense, it was supposed to be leaving #NYC.
The videos also show it was going backwards. My guess would be loss of control?

I remember when a thief came into my house through an unlocked windowwhen I was a graduate student in Miami and stole my underwater photography gear. The police almost laughed at me when I suggested that they dust for fingerprints the window that s/he obviously opened*. They told me it wasn't like a cop drama TV show (copaganda really is copaganda) and they wouldn't do it. But when a healthcare CEO is gunned down in Manhattan, they will pick up candy wrappers and water bottles off the street to try to find DNA (much more expensive then fingerprints, and prone to errors if they are using objects on the ground in a crowded city). My claim was denied, but the healthcare CEO's claim will never be denied.

*I'm not trying to equate theft to murder. I'm trying to compare the responses. The cop's response suggested that they rarely dust for fingerprints. Ever. His solution? Monitor Ebay for your photography equipment and let them know if I find it!
