That was my first thought, meara. Insurance companies can and do bring on the rage. No idea if this was the case, but I can see a grieving person thinking this way.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I had to dig through emails to figure out that the insurance plan I will be switching to in 2025 because the premiums are cheaper than Kaiser is, in fact, United Healthcare (it's only referred to by initials most of the time and I was honestly only registering "Kaiser and not-Kaiser" as I went through Open Enrollment). If someone was able to figure out that the insurance company they had a grudge against was this one, and worked out who the CEO was and where he'd be and how to get away with shooting him...well, I guess that's not impossible
I can’t get over the fact that the gunman’s plan hinged on his leaving his bike unlocked and counting that it wouldn’t be stolen while he lurked outside a hotel lobby.

A great narrative that sums up what went down in South Korea. Great writing. [link]

Witty tech writer. She also deferred from being interviewed by other media saying, “I’m not the best one for on camera interviews.”
Courtney Milan has a thread on BlueSky about why UnitedHealth is so problematic: [link] . Not, of course, that this justifies assassination, but still ...
Tom it sounds like he uses a Citibike? So maybe that makes it not a stolen opportunity? (Seems easily traceable but who knows)

That is amazing.
For lunch today I followed the microwave recipe for congee (that I have made before with success) using the last of my bones from the turkey carcass, some chicken stock that has been in the freezer for probably less than a year, and kasha (instead of rice) that I cooked yesterday for this very purpose. Also leftover gravy and droppings. It came out a bit soupy, but pretty tasty. Would probably benefit from a bit of cranberry sauce, but I don't have any
Gotta say I'm with Chris Rock and "not excusing, but I understand." There must be a list of suspects like a "Murder She Wrote" victim.
