The Season 5 finale of Station 19 is gearing up for big things as stars Jaina Lee Ortiz and Jason George offered some teases on the Disney Upfront red carpet this week. While they remained vague on what is about to unfold, they did reflect on their characters’ roles within the Grey’s Anatomy universe and hint at a need for tissues as the season-ender arrives. As Ortiz’s Andy Herrera faces a trial for Jeremy’s (Daniel di Tomasso) death after he attacked her and she fought back, the actress is in awe of her character. (Credit: ABC/Raymond Liu) “To be on…

A leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion suggests the nation’s highest court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that guarantees the right to an abortion. The opinion was first reported by Politico. If it is officially issued later this year, nearly half of U.S. states will likely pass laws—or enforce existing ones—greatly restricting access to the procedure. One of the most comprehensive studies conducted to date shows that those who are denied an abortion—and thus forced to go through with an unwanted pregnancy—experience lasting impacts to their health, well-being and finances. A Supreme Court opinion…
Woody is a little different from its iconic siblings. First, the bag’s not made from leather, real or faux. Instead, the original Woody’s body was constructed using a heavy-duty, durable canvas, trimmed with flashes of rust- or black-coloured leather, which flank the now instantly recognisable logo-emblazoned canvas handles. Not only does this make the bag practical, but also, you’ll be pleased to know, it keeps it on the more affordable end of the designer scale, with most styles coming in under £1000. Chloé’s slip-on Woody sandals were (and continue to be) a summer sell-out before the bag even landed, so it’s…

With Top Gun: Maverick proving that you fan make a great sequel more than 30 years after the previous film, that opens the door to a lot of other ’80s movies that never got followups. Like, how about a new The film, directed by Rob Reiner and written by and starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, is maybe the funniest film of the 1980s, not to mention the movie that really popularized the mockumentary format.

‘The Rock’ white diamond could fetch $20-30 million — or more. The biggest white diamond ever to be sold at auction, dubbed “The Rock,” will go under the hammer in Geneva on Wednesday and could fetch up to $30 million—or more. The 228.31-carat stone is up for grabs alongside a historic intense yellow diamond associated for more than a century with the Red Cross, which will receive some of the profits from its sale. The Rock is “a truly exceptional pear-shaped diamond,” said Max Fawcett, head of the jewels department at Christie’s auction house in Geneva. It is “the largest…

Too many siblings. Not enough timelines. So reads the tagline of The Umbrella Academy Season 3 (dropping on June 22 on Netflix), as seen in the new trailer and poster.

Chelsea Lazkani and Christine Quinn in “Selling Sunset”. Photography courtesy of Mitchell Haaseth/Netflix Botox, bribes and the melodrama of It all. By Jenisse Minott Date May 13, 2022 I started watching Selling Sunset the year after it had first premiered, when a coworker promised I’d fall in love with “the mean one in the black wedding gown.” She was right, because after only a few episodes, I was enraptured by Christine Quinn’s cinematic presence and the Short Kings (Jason and Brett Oppenheim) running the Oppenheim Group. The reality series follows Quinn and the other real estate agents working at the…
Netflix has been trying to crack down on password sharing for more than a decade. But in the last year, and more strongly this week, the company has given serious signs that the party is almost over. Rather than indiscriminately curtailing this beloved latitude, though, Netflix could make some basic tweaks to cut down on freeloaders without snubbing longtime customers who just want to help out a friend. In a letter to shareholders on Tuesday, the streaming giant said it had a net loss of about 200,000 subscribers this quarter, from 221,840,000 down to 221,640,000. And Netflix is projecting that those…

Credit: Mark Marathon/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0 Protecting nature starts with science. Here’s a roundup of recent scientific research published by Conservation International experts. 1. Keeping ‘climbers’ out of forests can help promote tree growth When logging or storms disturb forests, they can regenerate on their own—but not without competition. Fast-growing, invasive climbing plants, such as lianas or rattan, proliferate in forest clearings, often outcompeting native trees for sunlight, nutrients and other resources. Due to human activities that are driving forest destruction,…

Last week, a new study about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) went viral after news headlines and social media posts proclaimed that scientists had discovered the root cause of the condition. And a press release describing the research asserted that, thanks to the “breakthrough” finding, SIDS “may soon be a thing of the past.”However, the study in question, published May 6 in the journal eBioMedicine, did not uncover the root cause of SIDS and likely won’t contribute to a risk assessment or a way to prevent the syndrome anytime soon, an expert told Live Science. Rather, the research revealed a potential…
It’s been nearly three years since new episodes of Black Mirror landed on Netflix, but Variety reports the streamer has now greenlit the dystopian sci-fi series for Season 6. Currently in pre-production, details of the new season are being kept under wraps, but Variety describes it as “more cinematic in scope,” with each episode being “treated as an individual film.” Considering most of the recent episodes have run well over an hour, it will be interesting to see how the Black Mirror showrunners take the series to the next level. Season 5 of Black Mirror premiered in June 2019. Containing three episodes, it featured…

I don’t even know anymore…Whenever he was asked, Ryan Reynolds always insisted that Deadpool was not in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

You never can tell these days.But as it turns out,…

And with that, we have another season of Station 19 under our belts. They opted for something happier with Station 19 Season 5 Episode 18, and the closest to a cliffhanger is that Jack seemingly quit his job and drove off, leaving his found fire family behind him. Of course, there’s also the possibility that Maya has solidified her job as Captain again, or she’ll rue the day she threatened and blackmailed Ross and Sullivan. The hour didn’t exactly feel like a season finale. Instead, it felt like a regular installment, and while they wrapped some things up, there were…
The first year of medical training after medical school brings intense stress, long work hours, irregular sleep schedules, and a risk of new or worsened symptoms of depression. But two new studies identify two groups of first-year residents, also called interns, who may be especially at risk of developing mental health concerns: those who are training to be surgeons, and those who are members of sexual minorities. The studies, both published this week by teams from the University of Michigan, add to the growing body of knowledge not just about mental health concerns in medical training, but also about the…
2016 Grammys. Photography courtesy of Getty Images Will the “All Too Well” singer be re-releasing another iconic album this month? By Katrina McGaughey Date May 13, 2022 The first time I heard 1989 by Taylor Swift, I was still a teenager and my world felt like it was about to change forever. It’s only been eight years since the album’s release and yet it feels like it happened in another lifetime. Back then, in 2014, Spotify wasn’t really on my radar and Apple Music didn’t even exist. Plus, as a major Swifite, I wasn’t about to just buy the album…

Listen via Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Pocket Casts | RSS The transition from 1980s new wave and hair rock to 1990s far less follically-minded indie pop wasn’t always a smooth one. But enigmatic, idiosyncratic, and frequently non-grammatical duo They Might Be Giants made it all go down so easy with instantly catchy hooks and frequently hilarious lyrics. The band’s tongue-in-cheek non-sequiturs and unconventional instrumentation masked a knack for writing songs that made us hum the first time we heard them. Nowhere is that more evident than in their major label breakout hit “Birdhouse in Your Soul” from their 1990 album Flood, which is likely…

The Evenlode in Oxfordshire, UK, has been plagued by pollution, but farmers, the water industry and local volunteers are working together to clean it up Environment 2 February 2022 By Adam Vaughan “It’s depressing. It’s something we should be able to put right,” says Mark Purvis, standing next to a brook feeding the Evenlode, a river in the Cotswolds area of southern England that has been plagued with water pollution in recent years. “We’ve seen declines in numbers of fish, insects and weed growth in the river. And terrible turbidity [cloudiness] in summer,” he says. The Evenlode’s problems aren’t unique.…
