An arrest warrant was put out for a suspect in last week's murder of the Philadelphia LGBTQIAP+ journo and it's about as unsurprising a story as you'd expect.

"The suspect has been identified as 19-year-old Robert Edmond Davis. He is wanted for murder and related offenses."

The 39-year-old Kruger evidently had extensive texts with the homeless 19-year-old and was just "trying to help him get through life". lol sure

Drugs were of course present at the scene.

Even redditors at the very progressive r/philadelphia can see how bad the optics of a 40 year old LGBTQIAP+ man having a relationship with a 19-year-old.

Needless to say the post showing the murderer was a 19-year-old black homeless guy who had a relationship with the 40 year old gay journo didn't get as much attention as the original story when the sub thought it was a nahtzee.
 
We are talking Canada, so I am taking it as read that the law will be retarded, and that he will be okay so long as he doesn't misgender anyone.
From all the true crime stuff I’ve seen the first person I would not want to be in a room with is a Canadian interrogator. Their rules are similar to US with one caveat. After you contact your lawyer they are still allowed to question you with some limitations: they can’t bribe you, or threaten you (silence will result in a greater punishment, I will punch you etc…) and from what I’ve seen they use these rules to the greatest of their abilities. Someone like JF would give hours of content to a detective to be used later at his trial, because they will know how to get him talking.

I wanted to post this a few episodes back but I think the reason some people are anal about the usage of "literally" and "like" is that they're contagious.

You can try it yourself if anybody you interact with doesn't use them at all or rarely, just start doing it as a pattern of speech and people will pick it up. I dunno why.
They’re applicable filler words. You can do the same thing with as basal noises as “um” or “uh”. It also works with “y’all,” “yeah,” and the hang-loose hand sign.
 
I remember watching a stream where Null talks with a chinese guy about China.

I haven't been able to find it, was it a fever dream or does someone know which one I am talking about?
Is this it? Haven't had a chance to watch, but I've been embarking on a journey to get all the MATI streams organized so I can put out a torrent at some point. I ran across this and remembered seeing your post from a few days ago...

Unity Announces Leadership Transition

Company Reaffirms Third Quarter 2023 Guidance

Company to Release Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results on November 9, 2023

October 09, 2023 04:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Unity (NYSE: U) (the “Company”), the world’s leading platform for creating and growing real-time 3D (RT3D) content, today announced that John Riccitiello will retire as President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately. James M. Whitehurst has been appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of the Board. Roelof Botha, Lead Independent Director of the Unity Board, has been appointed Chairman. Mr. Riccitiello will continue to advise Unity to ensure a smooth transition.

The Board will initiate a comprehensive search process, with the assistance of a leading executive search firm, to identify a permanent CEO.

“Working with Unity under John's leadership has been one of the highlights of my career. John joined the Unity Board in 2013 and stepped in to lead the Company in 2014, at a time when we faced significant challenges,” Mr. Botha said. “John has led Unity through incredible growth over the last nearly 10 years, helping us transition from a perpetual license to a subscription model, enabling developers to monetize, building other game services to serve our creator community, leading us through an IPO and positioning us as a pioneer in the developer community. Unity would not be where it is today without the impact of his contributions. I remain excited for the future of Unity.”

“It’s been a privilege to lead Unity for nearly a decade and serve our employees, customers, developers and partners, all of whom have been instrumental to the Company’s growth,” Mr. Riccitiello said. “I look forward to supporting Unity through this transition and following the Company’s future success.”

Mr. Whitehurst is a seasoned technology and public company executive. He previously served as Senior Advisor and President at IBM, after joining through IBM’s acquisition of Red Hat, a leading provider of open source enterprise IT products and services, where he served as President and Chief Executive Officer from 2008 to 2020.

“I am honored to join Unity as Interim CEO and President at this important time in its evolution,” Mr. Whitehurst said. “With the Company’s experienced leadership and passionate employees, I am confident that Unity is well-positioned to continue enhancing its platform, strengthening its community of customers, developers and partners, and focusing on its growth and profitability goals. I look forward to working closely with the Board and our talented global team to execute on our strategy, and I anticipate a seamless transition.”

Unity reaffirms its previously announced third quarter 2023 guidance. The Company’s expectations regarding its third quarter 2023 financial results are preliminary and are subject to revision in connection with Unity’s financial closing procedures and finalization of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the third quarter 2023. Actual results may differ from these preliminary expectations.

Unity will release third quarter 2023 financial results after the market close on Thursday, November 9, 2023, with a webcast to follow at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET. The webcast and shareholder letter can be accessed at investors.unity.com. A replay of the webcast will also be available on Unity’s Investor Relations website.
