It's a weird headline, but the discussion is around how journalists and the public look through internet history in cases like this. Some of it is helpful, some of it is not.

In particular, it's a response to this article:

'Extremely ironic': Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO slaying played video game killer, friend recalls (NBCNews)

The game in this case being AmongUs...

Monday night, NBC News published an article with the headline “’Extremely Ironic’: Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Slaying Played Video Game Killer, Friend Recalls.” This article is currently all over every single one of my social media feeds, because it is emblematic of the type of research I described above. It is a very bad article whose main reason for existing is the fact that it contains a morsel of “new” “information,” except the “information” in this case is that Luigi Mangione played the video game Among Us at some point in college.

Why is he dressed so weirdly on the photo? That doesn't look like a usual uniform...

Suicide watch uniform, I think. Have only seen it in one old photo so it might have just been that facility

Why does he need suicide watch uniform? Are they planning to Epstein him?

Looked it up and indeed seems to be it.
