So the CEO of one of BlackStone's real estate subsidiaries, Wesley LePatner, was gunned down in a workplace shooting.
LePatner was in charge of a $56B fund that has been reported to be part of BlackStone's strategic mass purchasing of homes.
The press & cops seem to be working double time to make sure this isn't seen by the average Joe as some sort of Luigi moment.
The cops claim the assailant was lost and killed the wrong CEO.

How to shrink your feed
I posted asking for help on this a bit ago, and while I didn't get any solutions, it did get my brain thinking outside of the box, and I found the solution, its easy, but proof that the UI, especially the settings layout really needs some work around here.
For whatever reason, the necessary setting isn't under the timeline settings, but Social Networks
The key setting here is Followed Content Scope, default is 'Conversations my follows started or commented on', but if'n you change it to 'Only conversations my follows started' if will only show original posts and boosts.
Hopefully this'll help others, I mentioned in a comment on my original post, but that could easily be missed, so here we go. Oh, and if'n you've any tag suggestions, send them my way, and I'll prolly add them.

The image features a circular design with a light blue background and a darker blue border. At the center, there is a bold statement in dark blue text that reads, "I want to live in a SOCIETY not in an ECONOMY." The text is arranged in three lines, with "SOCIETY" being the most prominent word. Surrounding the text is a decorative border with illustrations of buildings and small floral motifs, giving the image a quaint, traditional aesthetic. The buildings are depicted in a stylized manner, with windows and roofs, and are placed in the corners of the circle. The overall design is reminiscent of traditional ceramic tiles, with a clean and simple layout.

The image depicts a cartoon-style illustration of a rat with a human-like hairstyle, sitting in a corner. The rat has a worried expression, with sweat drops on its face, indicating stress or anxiety. It is positioned in front of three large buttons on the floor, each with a different label. The buttons read "BLAME OBAMA," "START A WAR," and "BLAME THE MEDIA." The background is simple, with a plain wall and floor, emphasizing the rat and the buttons. The overall tone of the image is satirical, using the rat to represent a political figure and the buttons to suggest actions that might be taken in response to perceived problems.

The image is a political cartoon depicting a classroom setting with a man in a blue suit and red tie, resembling Donald Trump, standing in front of a chalkboard. He is pointing at the board with a stick, which has the title "The Epstein Files" written at the top. The chalkboard contains a list of statements, including "The files are filled with Libs!" and "Pam Bondi has the files on her desk." The man in the red shirt with a MAGA cap is raising his hand, looking frustrated, and the caption at the bottom reads, "DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID?" The cartoon humorously critiques the contradictory and confusing statements made about the Epstein files.

A contract to hire and fire, but no, no influence whatsoever🤡2018: "Virginia’s largest public university granted the conservative Charles Koch Foundation a say in the hiring and firing of professors in exchange for millions of dollars in donations, according to newly released documents.

♲ @strangerthanfiction@diaspora.glasswings.com:kneecapping for Bezos now?Chris Smalls, American labor union leader, reportedly tortured by Israeli security forces
Chris Smalls, an American trade unionist and leader of the Amazon Labor Union, has been subjected to torture by Israeli security forces, reports say. Smalls was aboard of Gaza-bound Handala aid ship which was seized by Israeli forces near the Gaza coast on Saturday night, with 21 unarmed civilians on board, including lawmakers, medics, and volunteers.
“When he reached the Israeli prison, U.S. human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals,” the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said on X.“They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back,” the statement said. The FFC highlighted that “when his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.”
Smalls, 37, became particularly known in 2022 following the successful foundation of a labor union at a Staten Island Amazon factor, which counts more than 8,000 members. The Amazon Labor Union (ALU) became the first unionized Amazon workers recognized by the National Labor Relations Board.

$100,000 starting salary made by bullshit rader ping very loudly
and a quick google suggests this is in fact a bullshit number - yes some people hired at a senior level may make 100k, but the vast majority won't
@OddOpinions5 Considering how worthless Google is, I wouldn't put much faith in those results. The starting salary is a little bit of a stretch, but considering the signing bonuses they offer, its not unbelievable:

in reply to nullagent • • •People are stuck on the fact that there's some evidence the attacker was hoping to hurt NFL employees.
Shouting "he killed the wrong CEO... see" isn't the strong defense of late stage capitalism the press seems to be reaching for.
Imo it's a ringing indictment of US capitalism that a gunman hoping to hurt a CEO whose covering up their industries harms to players brains, in the process kills the CEO jacking up single family homeprices nationwide by accident.

in reply to nullagent • • •I think half of the reason this story isn't getting a ton of media coverage is that fact that most people don't know what BlackStone is and how they affect their daily lives.
But had a high ranking NFL exec died all Americans would understand that and especially given the alleged reasons.
So the establishment is running their "look this guy was cRaZy, this isn't a class war its just a lunatic" story and trying desperately for people who can't afford rent to feel bad about a BlackStone exec.
nullagent
in reply to nullagent • • •When really the only thing I can see in this story is that there are sooooo many CEOs and wealthy people getting rich at the expense of the average person that average people just don't care when they get hurt, even by accident.
Maybe its ok for people making Americans homeless or popularizing activities that give amateurs and professionals lifelong brain damage to remember we probably will make memes instead of mourning their loss. Yes even if they were "collateral damage".

And until such court process this note is simply alleged but not proven to originate from the attacker.
For all we know he wrote that note but also intentionally harmed the BlackStone CEO. But also anyone could have written that note it's alleged but not proven to be the attackers.
