i do have to say that TMZ is a fucking plague and needs to be stomped out. the way they shared the news of michael jackson’s death before his family was notified, shared images of the kobe bryant helicopter crash before his wife had even found out it happened, and have now shared images of liam payne’s dead body for the world to see… just fucking slimy and utterly devoid of integrity

Fans honor Kobe and Gianna Bryant on the three-year anniversary of their passing

Fans on Twitter are honoring Kobe and Gianna with the trending topic RIP Bean, which references the NBA legend’s nickname.

Today (Jan. 26), fans from all over the world are remembering Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant on the three-year anniversary of their death.

In 2020, Kobe, Gianna, and six of their friends — John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, and Christina Mauser — were on their way to a basketball tournament at Kobe’s Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, California. The group was in a helicopter flown by pilot Ara Zobayan when it crashed on a hillside in Calabasas, just 14 miles away from their destination.

In June of 2021, Kobe’s wife, Vanessa Bryant, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Island Express Helicopters, which was settled for an undisclosed amount.

Fans on Twitter are honoring Kobe and Gianna with the trending hashtag, RIP Bean, which references the NBA legend’s nickname. “Three years have gone since Kobe Bryant’s death. Many of us may agree that since that day, something has been odd. That’s how he was. Through souls like this, God ignites the world. Bean, RIP. Everyday, you are missed! RIP Bean. #BeanBoy #RipLegend,” StorriTalk wrote.

Nonfiction Thursday: Sports Biographies & Memoirs

One Jump at a Time by Nathan Chen

When three-year-old Nathan Chen tried on his first pair of figure skates, magic happened. But the odds of this young boy--one of five children born to Chinese immigrants--competing and making it into the top echelons of figure skating were daunting. Chen's family didn't have the resources or access to pay for expensive coaches, rink time, and equipment. But Nathan's mother, Hetty Wang, refused to fail her child. Recognizing his tremendous talent and passion, she stepped up as his coach, making enormous sacrifices to give Nathan the opportunity to compete in this exclusive world.

That dedication eventually paid off at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, where Chen--reverently known as the Quad King--won gold, becoming the first Asian-American man to stand at the highest podium in figure skating. In this moving and inspiring memoir Chen opens up for the first time, chronicling everything it took to pursue his dreams. Bolstered by his unwavering passion and his family's unconditional support, Chen reveals the most difficult times he endured, and how he overcame each obstacle-from his disappointment at the 2018 Olympic Games, to competing during a global pandemic, to the extreme physical and mental toll the sport demands.

Pulling back the curtain on the figure skating world and the Olympics, Chen reveals what it was really like at the Beijing Games and competing on the US team in the same city his parents had left--and his grandmother still lived. Poignant and unfiltered, told in his own words, One Jump at a Time is the story of one extraordinary young man--and a testament to the love of a family and the power of persistence, grit, and passion.

The Rise by Mike Sielski

Kobe Bryant’s death in January 2020 did more than rattle the worlds of sports and celebrity. The tragedy of that helicopter crash, which also took the life of his daughter Gianna, unveiled the full breadth and depth of his influence on our culture, and by tracing and telling the oft-forgotten and lesser-known story of his early life, The Rise promises to provide an insight into Kobe that no other analysis has.

In The Rise , readers will travel from the neighborhood streets of Southwest Philadelphia―where Kobe’s father, Joe, became a local basketball standout―to the Bryant family’s isolation in Italy, where Kobe spent his formative years, to the leafy suburbs of Lower Merion, where Kobe’s legend was born. The story will trace his career and life at Lower Merion―he led the Aces to the 1995-96 Pennsylvania state championship, a dramatic underdog run for a team with just one star player―and the run-up to the 1996 NBA draft, where Kobe’s dream of playing pro basketball culminated in his acquisition by the Los Angeles Lakers.

This is more than a basketball book. This is an exploration of the identity and making of an icon and the effect of his development on those around him―the essence of the man before he truly became a man.

The Last Folk Hero by Jeff Pearlman

From the mid-1980s into the early 1990s, the greatest athlete of all time streaked across American sports and popular culture. Stadiums struggled to contain him. Clocks failed to capture his speed. His strength was legendary. His power unmatched. Video game makers turned him into an invincible character—and they were dead-on. He climbed (and walked across) walls, splintered baseball bats over his knee, turned oncoming tacklers into ground meat. He became the first person to simultaneously star in two major professional sports, and overtook Michael Jordan as America’s most recognizable pitchman. He was on our televisions, in our magazines, plastered across billboards. He was half man, half myth.

Then, almost overnight, he was gone.

He was Bo Jackson.

Drawing on an astonishing 720 original interviews, New York Times bestselling sportswriter Jeff Pearlman captures as never before the elusive truth about Jackson, Auburn University’s transcendent Heisman Trophy winner, superstar of both the NFL and Major League Baseball and ubiquitous “Bo Knows” Nike pitchman. Did Bo really jump over a parked Volkswagen? (Yes.) Did he actually run a 4.13 40? (Yes.) During the 1991 flight that nearly killed every member of the Chicago White Sox, was he in the cockpit trying to help? (Oddly, yes. Or no. Or … maybe.)

Path Lit by Lightning by David Maraniss

Jim Thorpe rose to world fame as a mythic talent who excelled at every sport. He won gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, was an All-American football player at the Carlisle Indian School, the star of the first class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and played major league baseball for John McGraw’s New York Giants. Even in a golden age of sports celebrities, he was one of a kind.

But despite his colossal skills, Thorpe’s life was a struggle against the odds. As a member of the Sac and Fox Nation, he encountered duplicitous authorities who turned away from him when their reputations were at risk. At Carlisle, he dealt with the racist assimilationist philosophy “Kill the Indian, Save the Man.” His gold medals were unfairly rescinded because he had played minor league baseball. His later life was troubled by alcohol, broken marriages, and financial distress. He roamed from state to state and took bit parts in Hollywood, but even the film of his own life failed to improve his fortunes. But for all his travails, Thorpe did not succumb. The man survived, complications and all, and so did the myth.

Vanessa Bryant and family settle claims over Kobe Bryant crash site photos for $28.5 million

The family of the late Kobe Bryant has agreed to a $28.5 million settlement with Los Angeles County to resolve the remaining claims in a lawsuit over deputies and firefighters sharing grisly photos of the NBA superstar, his 13-year-old daughter and others killed in a 2020 helicopter crash, attorneys and court filings said Tuesday. The figure includes a newly agreed upon payment from the county of…

Off topic from what’s having been discussed here lately, but I was going back through Danneels posts trying to find something and I came across that post she made after the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash. It was some pictures of jensen with the twins and a caption about how “this weeks events have hopefully reminded us of what’s important in life and I know family is always at the top of my list blah blah blah” and then she lazily put the last names of people who died in the crash. I can’t imagine posting something like that, thinking it’s sweet and/or respectful. Like how did she not see how insensitive that was?? If she truly wanted to honor/remember those who died, she could have posted a sweet photo of Kobe and his daughter(who also passed away) and a caption about his legacy, instead of making it about her and her family. Especially considering the fact that children died in that accident, you would think she’d be a little more respectful and decent. It was clearly just a blatant way for her to have an excuse to post pics of jensen and the twins for either damage control or for her crazy stans to gush over. I highly doubt that on any level she was deeply upset by the accident. Idk, maybe I’m being too petty about this and it’s not that bad but it just came off as so incredibly disingenuous. Especially considering that so many people were impacted and upset over the loss of Kobe, she uses this national tragedy to make it about herself. It seems to be the only talent she has.

It's not the first time though, she's constantly virtue signaling. The only reason she makes those posts is to shift her image and also to get brownie points from naive people but once you truly look into her you discover she's self centered and unable to carry any intelligent conversation on the topics she supposedly supports. She's constantly lecturing people and acting all high and mighty meanwhile she is a functionally illiterate, uncultured, trashy z lister who desperately clings to slacktivism as a means to an end.

Was watching a lost media video earlier and like a whole section was just…bad stuff we don’t have footage of. Not even like just the normal dark clips we know exist but are sealed away like Christine Chubbuck’s last news appearance which are still pretty fucked for people to want but at least it’s known to exist and is technically media. It was shit like “Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash which we don’t have recordings of.” Which is both not related at all to lost media and, obviously far worse I’m putting these together because they both describe it I’m not like equating these, super fucking shitty and exploitative of tragedy

Blog Post #6

This week, in Module 6, it was discussed how Photoshop has revolutionized image creation and manipulation; specifically in entertainment, fashion, and journalism. It is agreed that although some level of enhancement can be expected in aspects of product marketing, the application of Photoshop to human images raises significant ethical concerns. In fashion, models are consistently altered to fit an unrealistic standard of beauty, which then impacts society’s perception of body image, especially among young people. This has led to a lack of diversity in media representations and harmful self-perception trends, such as “Snapchat dysmorphia,” where users modify their images to resemble distorted, filtered versions of themselves.

The ethical considerations go beyond entertainment and beauty standards into the realm of photojournalism. Here, manipulated or selectively edited images have the power to shape public perception, sometimes at the cost of truth. A key responsibility of photojournalists is to showcase the truth through imagery, as seen in the controversy surrounding the World Press Photo of the Year 2013. Though accusations of image manipulation were cleared, the suspicion raised important questions about journalistic integrity.

In my group’s Public Service Announcement (PSA), we discuss some more tragic instances, such as the deaths of Liam Payne and Kobe Bryant, where the ethical boundaries of media and photojournalism were further tested. As explained in the video, TMZ’s quick release of images related to Liam Payne’s death and their reporting on Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash before family notifications were met with major public outrage. These situations represent the delicate balance between reporting news and respecting personal privacy and dignity, specifically in times of grief. The use of Photoshop to enhance or alter images in such sensitive contexts becomes especially controversial.

In conclusion, while Photoshop can be a powerful tool, its use in journalism and media needs stricter ethical guidelines to ensure that the truth is preserved, and individuals’ privacy and humanity are respected during vulnerable moments.

Fun Fact: Did you know? - Part 2 “The Anti-Christ is eliminating those who refuse to accept his pagan religion by falsely accusing them of sex crimes: ‘Another One Bites the Dust.’”

Kobe Bryant died in a tragic helicopter crash on January 26, 2020. He was traveling with eight other people, including his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, when their helicopter went down in Calabasas, California. The crash occurred in foggy weather conditions, and all nine passengers on board lost their lives.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated the incident, concluding that the pilot, Ara Zobayan, likely experienced spatial disorientation, which can occur when pilots fly in low visibility conditions. The helicopter was a Sikorsky S-76B, a model often used for private transport .

The tragic loss of Bryant, a legendary basketball player, shocked fans and the sports community worldwide, prompting an outpouring of grief and tributes .

295

Union of India - Section

Section 295 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860

295. Injuring or defiling place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class.—

Whoever destroys, damages or defiles any place of worship, or any object held sacred by any class of persons with the intention of thereby insulting the religion of any class of persons or with the knowledge that any class of persons is likely to consider such destruction, damage or defilement as an insult to their religion, shall be punishable with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.

Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu ''Sidhu Moosewala'' Shot dead by a police encounter near Amritsar, Punjab on 22 May 2022.

He was killed in his hood.

Just like Tupac Shakur, Sidhu Moosewala came from a very poor background ''Pind'', farm.

Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu was born in the village of Moosa in the Mansa District of Punjab.

Moose Wala studied at Guru Nanak Dev Ji Engineering College and graduated with a degree in electrical engineering in 2016 in Ludhiana. He admired and was influenced by rapper Tupac Shakur. He started listening to hip-hop music as a student in sixth grade, and was trained in music by Harvinder Bittu in Ludhiana.

Sidhu, managed to leave his hood and make it big overseas. His nature of helping others and caring from his family, in my opinion resonated during his adolescent years as he managed to provide for his household with poverty and the everyday destruction in Indian politics.

If you think about it, Tupac was love, Biggie was money. Tupac grew up in the hood with his mum after he lost his dad which stood as a refuge for poor people. Biggie went to boarding school and rarely spent much time with family. Tupac needed investment when the world fell on him, which made him drop a triple platinum album all eyez on me. Biggie had ice, carats and gold.

Tupac rapped about his mother, so did Sidhu Moosewala.

Both had purpose, and it was love and the ability to provide. Their kindness was used against them, most people would say the men that followed these three legends are bad influencers. Kobe Bryant had a purpose and he lost his life and his daughter in an helicopter crash. Are you serious, you telling me the LA Lakers are bad?

My point is that the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Character Rocky Balboa said that.

Its a shame that the people that create change and miracles for others have a very short lifespan, others see, others envy, others pray, you are gray.

Section 295 was penalized on Sidhu because he wore a turban and blasphemed guns. When the protection order was pulled, they shot him, *encounter in a black G - Wagon. Shot in his hood.

He made modern kids speak Punjabi when their own mothers could not teach under a western influence. He provided for his pind, his mother, his family even in times of struggles when farmers got their land and veggies taken away from them.

In the end. Shot dead, as he changed the world.

I am Punjabi, and we still get rolled. Survival since 1469 AD.

Only people still alive is me and Eminem..... Legend.
