You only get one chance to make your first post when you join a social network. It should be something memorable, something that's important to you, something that actually says SOMETHING.

So obviously I'm using mine to tell @annewheaton.bsky.social that I love her to the moon and back, 1000 times.

Luigi Mangione, who was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, once belonged to a group of Ivy League gamers who played assassins, a member of the group told NBC News.

In the game, called "Among Us," some players are secretly assigned to be killers in space who perform other tasks while trying to avoid suspicion from other players.
