Summary

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a New York Hilton hotel, with investigators describing the killing as meticulously planned.

The gunman fled on foot, then by rental bike, and possibly left the city via bus. Shell casings at the scene had words like “deny” and “defend” inscribed, hinting at a motive linked to Thompson’s work.

Experts suggest the shooter may have military or weapons experience but left key clues, including surveillance footage and discarded items.

Police are analyzing evidence, including DNA, to identify the suspect.

Is it time to update the phrase to "If you see someone gun down a CEO, no you didn't!"?

Probably pan-fried fish - I always put out an extra placemat in case I have a visitor I'll be unable to recall any details about in the morning though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Awhhh that sounds awesome. I should have thawed the salmon. Probably just some box potstickers and rice, maybe some edamame if I feel like getting the steamer out.

Went out for lunch and ordered WAY too much (I ordered the lunch special which I thought came with one entree, but instead got a lunch special AND an entree) so I'm skipping dinner today.

But lunch was a full serving of goat korma, plus small portions of dal, rice, tandoori chicken, some curry I don't remember, a samosa, rice, and naan. Ate till I was full and took home lots of leftovers.

Coincidentally, that will also be tomorrow's lunch ben😅

Idk. It's almost 8, I'm only a little hungry.

Maybe some beans

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m pondering some sort of soup, but I’m not sure. Black bean seems sweet.

I've been going vegetarian more lately, and looking for hardy meat substitutes. Yesterday I found a lentil sloppy joe sandwich I wanna try.

Chicken and Brussel sprouts. Doesn't sound fancy but it's hot fire and I look forward to it.

Got any plans this weekend?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I went and got fried chicken... it was not good. Cold fries and lots of gristle.
