It’s about motive.

Officials then revealed in the statement, obtained Monday by USA TODAY, that the relationship between the suspects and Nordquist suggests it was not a hate crime.

Nordquist and those suspected in his death were known to each other, and all identified as LGBTQ+, authorities said. At least one of the suspects lived with Nordquist before his death, the statement added.

A “hate crime” by most definitions is motivated purely by a prejudice against someone because of their race/gender/sexuality. If the culprits were just doing this because they’re psychotic, it wouldn’t be pursued as a “hate crime”.

“We are still in the early stages of this investigation,” according to a statement. “We urge the community not to speculate into the motive behind the murder as we work to find justice for Sam.”

It sounds like it’s still possible it’ll be tried as a hate crime, but the revelation that the culprits were known to the victim and also identified as LGBTQ+ means there’s likely more to the motive.

I’m curious whether Truth Social will acquire Xitter, or vice versa.

And when.

This is devastating for my “southerners watching pornhub” kink.

That’s Ambassador Roof, to you.

Those with remaining sentences are Robert D. Bowers, 52, who was sentenced in 2023 for killing 11 people during the Three of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in 2018; Dylann Roof, 30, who was sentenced in 2017 for killing nine people during a white-supremacist motivated mass shooting in South Carolina; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 31, who was sentenced in 2015 for carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing.

The one where Nixon’s reelected hits too close to home.

Link for the uninitiated.

“How come he don’t want me, man?” And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔

He should tell the FBI cause they’re still crowdsourcing data.

“Profits before People”-style mass murder gunned down. Thoughts and prayers. Bury the company with him.

You have passed the test. We can be friends.

Hey that’s a fair point. Funny how often good ideas are kneecapped by crap executions.

Yeah, I’d love at least one USB A type cause most of the peripherals I own use that.

legit scenario where such a tool is actually needed

The “legit” reason has nothing to do with user experience and everything to do with Microsoft & their 874,289,532 advertising partners.

Regardless of the marketing spin they’re putting on it now - Recall will be used for mass data collection and training MS’s LLM. They’ll wait for enough adoption of Win11 & Recall before putting the “release of information” clause into their T&Cs.

Recall isn’t for users. It’s for Microsoft.

Fuck firewire. Glad it’s dead. USB C is the best thing to happen to peripherals since the mouse.

It’s genuinely just people feeling the need to “pick a side”, and it’s unhelpful. Just makes the fans look like clowns.

Bluesky’s got the same vibe as early Twitter (for now). That’s awesome. Mastodon / “the fediverse” can take some time to streamline onboarding so when Bluesky gets sold to Mussolini’s ghost Mastodon will be ready to take the reins.

“Bluesky has not been offered enough money to scrape user data for AI”

Next week he’s digging up Muhammad Ali for Disney+.

Excellent joke. No notes.
