Kinda shitty of whoever wrote that headline to throw associate him with HIMYM.
How I Met Your Mother actor sentenced to 32 years to life for attempted murder of estranged girlfriend
Yes, technically that’s true, he acted on HIMYM. He was in one scene, as an extra. You can see him here, he’s in the front of the group wearing the blue flannel under a black jacket. To the best of my knowledge, that’s the only acting he’s done on HIMYM.
It’s probably the only thing he’s appeared in which would be at all recognizable to the general public, which is probably why. Mentioning a well-known TV series – even if his role in it was truly minimal – might be a choice on the part of editors to try to make the articles worth clicking on.
Sure, but it’s not as if we might actually remember him from that show.
Of course not. The article authors/editors don’t care about that. They care about getting you to read the article. “Random actor you’ve never heard of sentenced for killing his girlfriend” isn’t as click-worthy as “Actor from a TV series you’ve heard of sentenced for killing his girlfriend.”
It’s not even accurate; she had dumped him prior to the attack, per her testimony in court, so she was already his ex. And had a restraining order.
Shehorn took the stand and claimed that she had broken up with him after their relationship allegedly turned abusive. The makeup artist also claimed that she took out a restraining order against Pasqual prior to the attack.
I’m thinking the author doesn’t know the meaning of the word “estranged”.
Yep, very common editorial practice exactly for that reason.
I recall for a while there 2020-2022 it looked like every week there would be some news item headlined “Game of Thrones Actor (dies/marries/arrested/etc)” – which was not that hard considering how many people had at least a named credit as some point in all those seasons.
Headline writers are at least 50% troll.
And of course always have been - they’ve always been a come on to get you to click the link or (in the not too distant past) buy the paper.
I think one big difference when there were just a very few physical papers to choose from is that, if you gave too many “clickbait” style headlines, at least some of the readers would eventually notice and switch to a different paper. With online links, it’s a lot harder to keep track of what entity is responsible for the clickbait.
Warning: this is quite gruesome.
Some of those baseball parents are vicious, that’s for sure.

As college commencement speeches go, this is one of the worse ones.
Shih Hsin University President Chen Ching-he (陳清河) yesterday issued a public apology for comments made in his commencement speech last week, stating that he has asked the school to suspend his duties and halt his wages for two months as a show of contrition.
At the commencement ceremony on May 30, Chen said, “If you don’t manage your time well, or your own emotions, or your health, then I am telling every one of you — put a quick end to ‘you,’ because the world has no need for ‘you.’”

Thanks for the warning. I’ll pass. It’s hard enough reading some of the rescue/lifesaving attempts Cats of San Bernardino posts on FB. (Their website is OK. It’s the individual stories on FB that get me.)
“Not break the law” or not, the Chinese government doesn’t mind turning embarrassing people into organ doners. So there is hope.
In that case, remind me to never visit shawarma carts in China.
Inspirational.
Maybe that’s what you get when you take the academic maxim of “publish or perish” a bit too literally then apply it to all the grads in all their fields.
