Stacey King on Zach Lowe about The Last Dance:
> King: The documentary was good for the fans. It opened up a new fanbase for MJ. I thought it was sensationalized a bit. I didn't like the way Scottie was portrayed in certain things. In that documentary a lot of things Scottie did didn't really pertain to that second 3-peat. You know, 1.8 seconds when MJ was retired. That really didn't need to be brought in to The Last Dance. It had nothing to do with that.
> Lowe: The Migraine Game..
> King:You know what, I was there. When you have one of the worst migraines, you can't see, which Scottie couldn't. He was in so much pain, coming to Detroit for that Game 7. He was in tears and he tried to play. Couldn't see, and he was just so visibly shaken by not being able to play. And he got such a bad rep for that. His teams knew what he was going through. They knew he wanted to play. And to have that in a documentary brought that up... We ended up winning three straight championships after that. The year he had the migraine... I honestly think we could have [won]...
> But I thought Scottie was treated harshly there and I understand where he [MJ?] is coming from. Scottie always felt like he doesn't get the attention he deserves. He's always been looked at Robin to Batman.

Timeline Of Events And Details
February 4th, 2018
Tonya may have seen a murder four days before her death. Mother A.V. states, "What she witnessed she couldn't get out of her mind." -wgrz news
Allegedly Tonya would consume drugs and would tell what she had seen to everyone around her. The rumor said this would happen until a hit order was made to silence her. The rumor goes on to say that Tonya was leaving the house for the store. A few men were there. Tonya hollered and screamed before she was shot multiple times. It's possible she yelled out I don't have your money or stuff.
Eire County District Attorney John Flynn who is investigating Tonya's case reports they are aware of the rumors. They officially announced that to date they do not know of any eyewitnesses of the event. Those that had come forward all got their information via rumor. The info came from various sources.
There was a homicide on the day Tonya may have seen it. This homicide is still unsolved. It occurred on 134 Wick Street and the victim is Douglas Padre Johnson according to John Flynn. This victim was rumored to be a doorman for a drug house in Buffalo NY. In a news report, they say the victim's name is Douglas E. Johnson but he was known by "Padre". Douglas was 47 years old. Discovered on February 6th, 2018 his body was snow-covered. After examination, it was found that he died of multiple stabbings. Wick street is also a dead-end street near Broadway and Bailey. Crimestoppers offered up to $2,500 and the Buffalo Police Department was offering up to $1,500 for information that leads to an arrest or indictment. Johnson's body was found the same night Tonya was killed and his body was three streets away f
... keep reading on reddit ➡I fucking hate that all news on my feeds are now sensationalized as fuck, telling me what to think or how to feel. I've had to remove my feeds since the occasional good article is not worth 30 pages of trash. Worst are the ones with clickbait headlines followed by a mundane article with no substance or even contradicts the headline.
The gaming articles telling me the game I love is, in fact, not actually fun and why I'm stupid.
Pop science articles about how the "near future of aviation" looks like an engineering and logistical nightmare, and the art is blatantly stolen from a sci fi artist.
News articles about politicians way out of context, even for people I don't like, taking advantage of my hatred towards them to peddle dumbass misinformation.
Yes, I can do my own research. Yes, I'm a sucker for falling for clickbait. But I don't have time in the day to research everything, so when I casually browse news I'd like just some in-context straight facts. If an eighth of the articles I scroll past can be good meaningful articles with good headlines, why can't the others? Rhetorical question, I know mass media has to take advantage of our short attention spans to sell dramatic news.
Long story short, I used to identify as trans/non binary but no longer do. Once I realized I could just be a girl/woman and embrace both my femininity and more “butch” side I’ve never felt happier or more free. I don’t call myself a detransitioner because I never medically transitioned, and also if you’ve read JK Rowling’s weekly shenanigans or any conservative publication, stories like these aren’t treated as a celebration of self-discovery but instead weaponized to straight up attack trans people. I’m glad I never transitioned not only because it wouldn’t have been the right choice for me, but on top of having to discovery my identity I’d have to deal with conservatives using me as fuel for their strange transphobic lil culture war. Because of this some people even claim that the “detransitioner” label is inherently anti-lgbt just like the “ex-gay” cult, while others prefer to call it “retransition” since it’s a better term to capture the nuances of gender. I was wondering what others think about this
This new trend on tiktok where so many people are claiming to have tourettes is really upsetting. So many people are faking it to get attention and sensationalize a disability that is not fucking fun to have. Two of my siblings and I have it. We've all struggled due to it. In school people would mock me, constantly ask if I was okay, and I have to take medication for it otherwise one of my tics will cause me to hyperventilate. Even on medication I still tic and some days the medication does next to nothing for me.
The funny part about this is it's rare in females and those are the only people I have seen so far claiming they have tourettes. Only like .6% of the population have tourettes.
My struggles, my sibling's struggles and the struggles of everyone who actually fucking has tourettes are being sensationalized by attention seeking brats on the internet. You can't call them out for it unless you want to deal with the backlash. This fucking pisses me off.

These past few years we've been in awe in 3 pointers taking over league. We have guys who are shooting near the half court line and we don't feel weird about it because a lot of guys are doing it. Before these we have high flyers showcasing their talent but it seems the number of high flyers right now are getting smaller (Gerald Green, Jamario Moon, etc)
Now I'm watching the recent highlights and I think the new trend will be the passers we have right now. A lot of incredible/entertaining passers are right there right now. We also have a handful of young guys who are very entertaining passers lead by Luka and Lamelo.
Then we also have rookies like Scottie and Giddey who have shown glimpses of superior passing. Then of course we have the old reliables like Jokic and Lebron who continue to amaze us from time to time with their passing skills.
Here you go, this is the thread I am referring to. So, either I am severely misunderstanding something here, or this guy is a troll, or he is in complete denial, or he is one of the most careless T1s I've come across. He hasn't used a meter for 12 years, just takes his NPH and R based on ... feelings I guess, and claims that this is all you ever need. And endos? Complications? Nah, who cares:
> I also haven't been to an endo in 12 years. I'll trade off the freedom of not giving a shit for renal failure in the years where it doesn't matter. The point of that was that if I can do it by just staying on diet, than no one else has any excuse why this, using normal Wally World insulin, is such an untenable feat to ask of someone.
Please someone tell me that this is some joke from the Onion. I'd also prefer if he were a troll. And imagine if people like this dude were deciding whether or not CGMs and such get financed..
I've noticed more and more that SDs are being popularized on social media platforms and often for a very specific demographic. Specifcially teenage girls. There seems to be a lot of drama involved and a lot of using stores as training grounds and posting to social media for clout. I don't get it. DPT also seems like a cop out task for individuals that want an SD but don't know how they would mitigate their disability.
Kelsi said: 'Yes, I’ve seen his name all over. No new updates. No press release. There is no suspect in custody in this case. LE (law enforcement) is looking into a tip that was sent in that is now being made way bigger than it is. Until LE says he's a suspect, he is no more than another name they are looking at,' Kelsi German wrote on Twitter. She also went on to say she believes he is hiding in plain sight and may even know him. Just curious what people’s thoughts are on this.

Example LA murder rate hasn’t been over 300 in a decade in Philly we had 500 last year and Chicago higher than that - I think LA became to the media’s “Gang Capitol” in the 80-2000s but even back then Chicago’s murder rate was always higher - not even mentioning Detroit, New Orleans, DC, Baltimore, St. Louis, Indiana, Flint, Etc
I am writing a report and I am mentioning topics that news publications covered often. I was using the word "sensationalized" but that makes it seem dramatic or exaggerated, and I don't want it to sound like I'm calling serious news articles dramatic. I want a word to describe them as being reported on a lot and being a big deal, while not invalidating the topics by implying they're dramatic.
