Marianna There is so much news in America this week in Washington.
We've been covering the developments in Syria, we've been watching appointments to the Trump administration.
But the only story we're really all talking about among ourselves, to be honest, whenever we gather around the kettle is the suspected United Healthcare shooter in New York, Luigi Mangione.
First of all, the manhunt for him and then everything we've discovered about him since he was arrested.
It is gripping.
Yeah.
And he's not just been the Talk of Washington, D.C.
from the sounds of it, Sarah, he's also been the talk of social media.
I mean, you almost cannot move for the amount of posts and content about, about this man.
Everything from people digging up his own kind of social media profiles, the kinds of stuff he's been reading and reviewing, but then also different people posting their takes and views about what's happened.
Abuse, targeting people in McDonald's, who spotted him, you know, you name.
Everything is unfolding online.
So it feels like it's a very appropriate topic for today's episode.
