- The curious case of what look like egregious share buybacks at Bed Bath & Beyond
- TikTok reportedly getting out of livestream commerce in the U.S. and the U.K.
- Ulta Beauty’s new pop-up inside of Allure’s SoHo store
- And closed with a look at Amazon’s baller, no-risk move to invest in Grubhub

There’s all that, plus Jello cake, ripstop pants, and kickboxing classes with Minka Kelly.
