The more than 50-year Assad dynastic dictatorship was on the cusp of collapse on Sunday, as rebel forces seized the capital of Damascus in a lightning offensive that has swept the country's largest cities in a matter of days. The defense forces of the Russia and Iran-backed government have been struggling to stymy the rebel advance that kicked off with the rapid sweep of northern city Aleppo last week, breaking a years-long stalemate. The attack has been led by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) — which the U.S. and U.N. Security Council designated as a terrorist organization — and its allies, who have widened the scope of their campaign to the south of the country and now also captured the key cities of Hama and Deir el-Zor. "We declare the city of Damascus free from the tyrant Bashar al-Assad," Hassan Abdul-Ghani, senior HTS commander, said in a post on WhatsApp. "To the displaced people around the world, Free Syria awaits you."

The East Brother Light Station is on a small island off Point Molate in the strait between San Francisco and San Pablo bays in Richmond, California — and they're looking for an innkeeper. The property consists of a lighthouse built in 1874, a five-room inn that serves dinner and breakfast to guests, and a three-bedroom cottage used as the living accommodations for the innkeepers. The listing states that East Brother Light Station, Inc's ideal candidates for this job would be a couple. They would manage the inn, while volunteers continue to help maintain the lighthouse and grounds. "It's one of these jobs where people say, 'I wouldn't trade anything in the world for the opportunity to do this, but I would never do it again.' It's really hard work, but it's very rewarding," Tom Butt, former mayor of Richmond and the president of the nonprofit, tells CNBC Make It.

Holiday shopping is expected to reach record levels this year. But a growing share of those purchases will be sent back. Returns in 2024 are expected to amount to 17% of all merchandise sales, totaling $890 billion in returned goods, according to a new report by the National Retail Federation and return management company Happy Returns. That's up from a return rate of about 15% of total U.S. retail sales, or $743 billion in returned goods, in 2023. Even though returns happen throughout the year, they are much more prevalent during the holiday season, the NRF also found. As shopping reaches a peak in the weeks ahead, retailers expect their return rate for the holidays to be 17% higher, on average, than the annual rate.

Friday's jobs report virtually cements that the Federal Reserve will approve an interest rate cut when it meets later this month. Whether it should, and what it does from there, is another matter. The not-too-hot, not-too-cold nature of the November nonfarm payrolls release gave the central bank whatever remaining leeway it may have needed to move, and the market responded in kind by raising the implied probability of a reduction to close to 90%, according to a CME Group gauge. However, the central bank in the coming days is likely to face a vigorous debate over just how fast and how far it should go.

In October 2021, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent his trillion-dollar social media company into a new direction. Facebook changed its name to Meta and Zuckerberg set his sights on a new horizon, the metaverse. "There was genuinely a need and a desire at the time for Facebook, the company, to rebrand into something else," said Leo Gebbie, principal analyst and director at CCS Insight. "The company Facebook wanted to make clear that it was more than just that one social website." While the term metaverse predates Facebook, Zuckerberg's metaverse ambitions have existed inside Meta since 2014, when Facebook bought virtual reality headset developer Oculus and launched Reality Labs. Seven years and a global pandemic later, global video game industry revenue topped $193 billion. Meta — and Wall Street — saw an opportunity to capitalize on an increasing online population, riding in on a virtual reality headset wave.
