Sophia Scorziello editor When director Anthony Caronna was pitched with making a series out of Elon Green’s 2021 book “Last Call,” about a string of queer-targeted murders in 1990’s Manhattan, he had some reservations. “I loved the book,” said Caronna. “But I passed on the project because I wasn’t interested at that time in doing true crime. My biggest concern was re-victimizing the community and possibly working against the community in a way.” True crime media is a true mixed bag. Each documentary, docuseries or podcast sits somewhere on a spectrum of educational and entertaining; while the latter might sound like a jarring way to describe the storytelling of real-life criminals and real-life victims, it’s not incorrect to say that some audiences find sensationalized crime stories enticing.
The homes that will transform a Manchester neighbourhood - and give people the chance to rent at a fair price
05.07.2023 - 16:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A Manchester neighbourhood will be transformed as more than 100 new homes are built. Construction has started on the properties in Ancoats - on a disused brownfield site.
This City - the town hall's own development company - is behind the project on Rodney Street. The project is part of a £32m investment, funded by Homes England, to build 1,500 homes in the neighbourhood.
There will be a 'mobility hub'; a multi-story car park with electric vehicle chargers; car share clubs; and cycle hire. The whole thing could be finished next year.
The 128 homes on Rodney Street will include 10 townhouses and 118 apartments in across two buildings. They will look out onto Ancoats Green.

Each townhouse will have its own garden. There will be off-street parking for electric vehicles and seven disabled parking spaces.
A third of the homes will be made available at the Manchester Living Rent, which is capped at the government's Local Housing Allowance rate.
Councillor Gavin White, Manchester council's executive member for housing and development said: “Marking our first start-on-site for This City is a real moment for us. The aim for This City is about using Council-owned land to build the homes that our residents need, that our residents can afford, in locations they want to live. Rodney Street exemplifies this vision.
“The regeneration journey of Ancoats over the last 20 years has been a remarkable achievement, and this development continues that story, creating low-carbon homes and affordable housing options in the city centre, complemented by quality green space and sustainable transport options.
“The road to building this type of

Tom Segura on His ‘Sledgehammer’ Netflix Stand-Up Special: ‘It’s Fun, It’s Outrageous and I’m Sure It’s Going to Offend People’
Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor In May 2021, after 19 years in Los Angeles, comedians and married couple Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky (aka Christina P), moved to Austin with their two young sons. Segura says he felt like L.A., in mid-pandemic, was falling apart. “I was like, ‘This city is turning into a shit show!'” he tells Variety. About one month after they moved, Pazsitzky suffered an injurious fall in their new home. And, as you might expect, Segura ended up turning the (non-life-threatening) accident into a bit, which is featured in “Tom Segura: Sledgehammer,” his upcoming stand-up special premiering July 4 globally on Netflix. In “Sledgehammer,” Segura recounts his uneasy 911 call that night requesting help. “I realized that, while what I’m about to say it true, it sounds… suspicious! But I gotta say it. So I’m like, ‘My wife fell down the stairs.'” Pazsitzky, who had misjudged a step when she got up in the middle of the night to check on one of the kids in their new home, broke her ankle and part of her tibia as a result of the fall. (She’s since made a full recovery.) Segura remembers being unsettled by her telling the paramedics to not assume he had hurt her. “It was a whole ordeal,” he recalls.
