Luigi Nicholas Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of a healthcare executive in New York City, apparently was living a charmed life: the grandson of a wealthy real estate developer, valedictorian of his elite Baltimore prep school and with degrees from one of the nation's top private universities. Friends at an exclusive co-living space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Hawaii where the 26-year-old Mangione once lived widely considered him a “great guy,” and pictures on his social media accounts show a fit, smiling, handsome young man on beaches and at parties. Now, investigators in New York and Pennsylvania are working to piece together why Mangione may have diverged from this path to make the violent and radical decision to gun down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a brazen attack on a Manhattan street. The killing sparked widespread discussions about corporate greed, unfairness in the medical insurance industry and even inspired folk-hero sentiment toward his killer. But Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro sharply refuted that perception after Mangione's arrest on Monday when a customer at a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania spotted Mangione eating and noticed he resembled the shooting suspect in security-camera photos released by New York police. “In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero. Hear me on this, he is no hero,” Shapiro said. “The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald’s this morning.” Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather, Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The Mangione family also purchased Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore in 1986. On Monday, Baltimore County police officers blocked off an entrance to the property, which public records link to Luigi Mangione’s parents. Reporters and photographers gathered outside the entrance. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione prepared his five sons — including Luigi Mangione’s father, Louis Mangione — to help manage the family business, according to a 2003 Washington Post report. Nick Mangione had 37 grandchildren, including Luigi, according to the grandfather's obituary. Luigi Mangione’s grandparents donated to charities through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating Nick Mangione’s wife’s death in 2023. They donated to various causes, including Catholic organizations, colleges and the arts. One of Luigi Mangione’s cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione, a spokesman for the lawmaker’s office confirmed. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media by Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” Mangione, who was valedictorian of his elite Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press. He learned to code in high school and helped start a club at Penn for people interested in gaming and game design, according to a 2018 story in Penn Today, a campus publication. His social media posts suggest he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. They also show him taking part in a 2019 program at Stanford University, and in photos with family and friends at the Jersey Shore and in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, and other destinations. The Gilman School, from which Mangione graduated in 2016, is one of Baltimore’s elite prep schools. The children of some of the city’s wealthiest and most prominent residents, including Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., have attended the school. Its alumni include sportswriter Frank Deford and former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. In his valedictory speech, Luigi Mangione described his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.” Mangione took a software programming internship after high school at Maryland-based video game studio Firaxis, where he fixed bugs on the hit strategy game Civilization 6, according to a LinkedIn profile. Firaxis' parent company, Take-Two Interactive, said it would not comment on former employees. He more recently worked at the car-buying website TrueCar, but has not worked there since 2023, the head of the Santa Monica, California-based company confirmed to the AP. From January to June 2022, Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. “There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, including surfing, Ryan said. “He went surfing with R.J. once but it didn’t work out because of his back,” Ryan said, but noted that Mangione and Martin often went together to a rock-climbing gym. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. An image posted to a social media account linked to Mangione showed what appeared to be an X-ray of a metal rod and multiple screws inserted into someone's lower spine. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. An X account linked to Mangione includes recent posts about the negative impact of smartphones on children; healthy eating and exercise habits; psychological theories; and a quote from Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti about the dangers of becoming “well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Mangione likely was motivated by his anger at what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed, according to a law enforcement bulletin obtained by AP. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that the profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of the suspect’s handwritten notes and social media posts. He appeared to view the targeted killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO as a symbolic takedown, asserting in his note that he is the “first to face it with such brutal honesty,” the bulletin said. Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski a “political revolutionary” and may have found inspiration from the man who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology, the document said. Associated Press reporters Lea Skene in Baltimore; Jennifer Sinco Kelleher in Honolulu; Maryclaire Dale in Philadelphia; John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio; and Michael Kunzelman in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.

I've been there, and I've felt that stress. But as a former New Yorker crammed into a studio apartment with my husband, our corgi, and five pieces of , I can confidently say that itty-bitty home-sweet-homes aren’t the enemy. With the and a little creativity, even the tiniest of living spaces can look really freaking good. To guide you on your personal design journey, I've rounded up a ton of visual inspo and tips to help you stay chill and get the aesthetic of your dreams while mapping out your own small room. Sure, it'll take a little out-of-the-box thinking (and, uh, maybe a hammer, sorry , but trust me, you've got this. If you haven’t already started scrolling and screenshotting, this is your official sign to do so. These 35 ideas will take your living room from small and blah to—dare I say—iconic in no time. Keep your floor clear. Keeping your furniture light and minimal can make your floor look endless and your entire space look larger. Bring the outdoors in (or fake it). Tall plants maximize vertical space and will add major style points to your small living room. It doesn't matter if they’re real and breathing life into the space or faux and serving strictly visual vibes. Soften your space with curved furniture. Curved details will make your living room feel so much cozier. The ones in this pic have me swooning—from the rounded chairs and bench to the arched shelving unit and those adorable daisy-inspired light fixtures. Ugh, perfection. Show off the things you love. Trust me, you don't need to decorate with a million bits and bobs. You just need a few pieces that make you feel happy. The living room you see here is basically a masterclass in letting your personal style take the lead—it’s eclectic, but doesn't feel cluttered. No detail was overlooked (the zebra knobs!!!), and every piece feels like it belongs. Make the most of precious vertical space. One easy-peasy way to make your small living room look bigger? Drawing the eye up with vertical shelves, which you can decorate as you wish. They'll create the illusion of height and space, making both you and your guests feel like the room is larger than it actually is. Float your storage. Another vertical option to try: open or closed floating storage. If you’re handy with tools (or have a friend who is), it’s a savvy way to squeeze in more storage and show off that decor you couldn’t quite find a home for. Stick to one color. Monochrome is so in right now, and this post proves it. I'm willing to bet the creative mastermind behind this vintage-inspired living room isn’t sipping red wine on the couch mid-week, but the various shades of white are dreamy. Kick clutter. I know it’s not exactly realistic for your small living room to look like Marie Kondo just rolled through, but what makes this space feel so roomy is the pared-down decor and all-clean everything. No shade to your knick-knacks, but there’s something undeniably chic about keeping it minimal to maximize space. Anchor it all with a rug. Don’t sleep on the power of a good area rug, bestie. It can pull your furniture into one cohesive zone and trick the eye into thinking the space is way bigger. Carve out a cozy corner. Open floor plans can be t-r-i-ck-y, but the key is to create different sections for different purposes. This seating area does it right by using a rug, a sofa, and two accent chairs to create a comfy little nook. The mix of textures—all within the same color palette—really brings it together. Free up space with a single-arm couch. This creator is living the minimalist dream, combining her living and dining spaces into one modern setup. She styled her small living room like an HGTV pro, trading a bulky two-arm couch for a sleek one-arm option so it can sit flush against the wall. Layer your lighting. This small living room was designed by a photographer who specializes in "soft tones and warm light," and her layered lighting—see: glowy candles, a paper lantern, and natural light—add depth and dimension that make the space feel extra inviting. Ditch bulky light fixtures. Before you hit "add to cart" on that giant floor lamp, peep this minimalist space with sleek sconces above the couch. Consider this your sign to keep your lighting small and stylish if you want your living room to look larger than life. Go low. A little hack for faking more square footage? Go with low-profile furniture, like the famed (no judgment if you’re eyeing a dupe). Keeping furniture closer to the ground opens up vertical space, adding some airiness to the room. Or go high! Lifting your couch off the ground makes the floor space more visible and gives the room a chance to breathe, so to speak. Somehow, that small boost really does make things feel bigger—I swear. Ace the furniture arrangement. Having a small living room doesn't mean you need to ditch your sectional dreams—you just have to balance it out with the right pieces. For example, in this pic, a stylish New Yorker traded a big coffee table for two compact round ones, making room for a more spacious sofa. The result is both cozy and stunning. Consider a neutral color palette. This small living room is basically a deep breath in design form, thanks to the soothing neutral color palette and clean, modern lines. The minimalist vibes plus plenty of free floor and wall space keep the whole room light, airy, and calming. ...or take the opposite route and embrace boldness. If neutrals make you yawn, go ahead and unleash your inner maximalist, like the designer did in this colorful dream of a room. If you click through the gallery (you should) you’ll spot a floor-to-ceiling bookcase that makes this small space feel even more intentional. Clear things up with glass furniture. The glass here is sooo much lighter on the eyes than a chunky one, making the whole space feel far from cramped. ...or its shatter-resistant cousin: lucite. Like glass, lucite furniture basically disappears into the background, so it's functional but lets the rest of the room shine through (literally). Let the light in. If your living room gets a ton of natural light, (a) I'm jealous, and (b) you need to show that off to brighten every inch of the space. You can do so by ensuring nothing is blocking your windows—steer clear of tall furniture, bulky curtains, spindly plants, and anything else that could take away from your precious sunlight. Symmetry, for the win. Symmetry just hits when it comes to design, amirite? I’m obsessed with the way this creator styled these matching armchairs around the coffee table, pulling your eyes to the center. And the fact that the table is glass and two-tiered for extra storage? Perfection. Add depth (and drama!) with mirrors. Mirrors don’t just add personality to this room—they also bounce light around and create the illusion of extra square footage. The fact that this designer layered two floor mirrors doubles the impact, nailing the "quirky-meets-modern-meets-vintage" aesthetic. ...or maybe let a chandelier do the work? No room for a mirror? No problem. Let a chandelier steal the show instead. It draws the eye upward (yeah, you guessed it!) and scatters the light just as nicely. Bring in custom built-ins. The beauty of built-ins is that they squeeze every last inch out of a room. Case in point: the alcove-turned-built-in situation in this casual-cool living room. It’s doing double duty as a TV hub and a storage solution with both open and closed shelving. Chef's kiss. Mount your TV. Whether you hire someone to do it on TaskRabbit or tackle it yourself, mounting your TV packs a huge punch in a teeny living room. Not only will it free up room space on your entertainment console, but it also gets rid of those annoying wires that can make small spaces feel cluttered. Go all out with bold artwork. The oversized artwork in the space you see here doesn’t just draw the eye up—it makes the high ceilings look even freakin' higher. The bold standalone piece perfectly fuses personality and simplicity, and I, for one, can't get enough. Or, go all on a gallery wall. Not about a solo art moment? A little gallery wall never killed nobody. The living room here is decked out with mismatched frames in a variety of sizes and styles that crank up the quirky vibes and keep your eyes moving. Double (or triple?) your furniture's purpose. Multifunctional furniture = your best friend in small rooms, and the multipurpose coffee table/storage space/game area you see here is a perfect example. Trick out your coffee table. It's my great honor to introduce you to the lift-up coffee table. It’s a legit godsend for tiny studio apartments because it serves as a place to eat, work, online shop, kick your feet up—you name it. And! It has hidden storage perfect for stashing all the stuff you don’t want guests to see. (Clutter? What clutter?) Add color to the ceiling. Painting your ceiling can make your room feel so much taller, it can be hard to believe it’s the same space. The soft pink ceiling here paired with the quirky floral light fixtures...I can't stop staring. Transform your space with wallpaper. PSA: Just because you're renting doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate wallpaper! Removable wallpaper is the interior design GOAT. That said, here’s proof that even the simplest furniture combo in a small living room can look a million times more exciting with a patterned wall and color galore. Reimagine empty alcoves. When it comes to small living rooms, you need to take advantage of every inch of space and get creative. For example, this content creator turned her once-empty alcove into a cozy nook with funky seating, an eye-catching ottoman, and recessed vertical shelving that’s as functional as it is fabulous. Create visual contrast. This gorgeous built-in situation is a testament to how light and dark contrasts can work magic to create depth—even in the tiniest spaces. Stash stylish ottomans under a console. This is brilliant apartment styling, in my humble opinion. The patterned ottomans bring personality to the room without hogging any floor space. And when you need extra seating for guests, pull 'em out, and voilà—functional-chic goals. Marisa Petrarca is a contributing beauty writer for .

The probe sent a signal just before midnight on Dec. 26, saying it was “alive” and doing fine. This should come as a relief to NASA scientists since communication with the probe “went dark” Christmas Eve when it made its record-breaking closest ever pass — a mere 3.8 million miles from the sun’s surface, according to a NASA blog . That might seem like a big distance, but in the universe, everything is relative. If the Earth and sun marked opposite end zones of an American football field, the probe’s latest pass took it to the sun’s four-yard line. Read More: How Old Is the Sun? Better Understanding the Sun The probe is collecting data that will help researchers better understand how the sun “works.” Scientists hope the information will help solve some solar mysteries, like why is the corona 300 times hotter than the sun’s actual surface, which is 300 miles below it? What powers the supersonic solar wind that blows charged particles into the solar system? And what makes those particles move at up to half the speed of light? “This is one example of NASA’s bold missions, doing something that no one else has ever done before to answer longstanding questions about our universe,” Arik Posner, Parker Solar Probe program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said in another blog before the probe broke its record. “We can’t wait to receive that first status update from the spacecraft and start receiving the science data in the coming weeks.” That data will help scientists better understand the Northern Lights because they are generated when the “space weather” driven by the sun’s supersonic winds interacts with Earth’s atmosphere. But there are practical concerns and reasons to understand these forces better as well. Geomagnetic storms can impair GPS satellites and could disable electricity grids. Scientists expect the probe’s first data transmissions from its close pass around January. This moment has been a long time coming, according to a Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory timeline . Long Time Coming When Eugene N. Parker was a professor at the University of Chicago in the mid-1950s, he predicted the solar wind with mathematical theory. In the 1970s, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory proposed a flyby mission — but they didn’t yet have the technology — especially the means to protect an instrument from the sun’s heat. That changed in the 2000s. Scientists developed a carbon composite heat shield that can withstand temperatures up to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit while holding the probe’s electronics and instruments to 85 F. They also created a cooling system for the spacecraft’s solar panels by pumping pressurized water through titanium radiators, keeping their temps to 320 F while collecting energy to power the craft’s instruments. Parker was present when the probe launched on August 12, 2018. He died on March 15, 2022, at age 94. The probe holds a plaque with a quote from its namesake: “Let’s see what lies ahead.” As data begins flowing back from the probe after this and the next two passes, it should provide some answers.

Or maybe they have the kitchen television turned to Turner Classic Movies all day and make a point of organizing Oscar polls at work? Hate to break it to you: They might be a hard-to-please cinephile.

However, viewers were soon in tears as they watched one more campmate get voted off the show just before tomorrow’s final. Tonight, presenters Ant and Dec revealed which star had come in fourth place in a tense announcement to the remaining campmates. Ultimately, it was Oti Mabuse who garnered the least public support, leaving Coleen Rooney, Danny, Jones and Reverend Richard Coles to vie for the coveted jungle crown. Sitting down with Ant and Dec, Oti expressed how she was "happy" to be going home and that she felt "grateful" for the opportunity. She also identified her "winner" of the series as Danny. Following the shocking elimination, I’m A Celeb viewers took to X, the social media platform formerly known as , to share their thoughts on the outcome. One person lamented: "Loved Oti! Sad she’s not in the final." (sic) Another demanded: "NO PLEASE I NEED A RECOUNT." (sic) A third person raged: "THE F*** YOU MEAN OTI IS GONE??????" (sic) A fourth fumed: "BOYCOTTING THIS STUPID SHOW THAT WAS MY QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE." (sic) Another fan agreed: "Oti Mabuse MY Queen of the Jungle." (sic) One more wrote: "Thrilled that Richard is in the final, but Oti deserved to be there right at the end. I’m so glad she has shown the country what an absolutely beautiful human being she is." Earlier in the show, the campmates took the opportunity to reflect on their experience around the campfire, with Richard saying: “I’ve had a great time, I’ve loved it. And even the tough stuff, looking back, I know I’ll have loved the whole thing.” “These last few days have made it for me to say I actually have really enjoyed it,” Coleen said, as Danny agreed: “It’s just been more fun, hasn’t it? As we’ve gone on.” “When we’ve been more intimate, as a smaller group,” Oti added, before Richard made his campmates burst out with laughter as he joked: “And when we’re very old, and me exceptionally old, we’ll remember it. We’ll bump into each other as Coleen picks up her peerage, Lady Rooney, Danny’s there to get his knighthood and Oti Mabuse is there to sit on the throne! I’ll turn up with my sandwiches and go, ‘I used to know them!’”
