Black Widow final trailer shows off villain — and new release date – Polygon

Black Widow got a new release date last week and now it has a new “final” trailer. With all the movie’s delays so far, it seems that Marvel doesn’t want to give much more of the plot away, so this latest trailer has a few new scenes and plenty that we’ve seen before. The trailer starts out with some familiar narration from previous previews of the movie. Black Widow talks about how she had a previous life, one from before her time as an Avenger. And while previous trailers have focused on people she knew from her past life like, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour), and Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz), this is the first time that we’ve actually seen flashbacks all the way to Natasha’s childhood, and just how far back her connection to these characters goe...

Lori Loughlins Husband, Mossimo Giannulli, Released from Prison Early – TMZ

Lori Loughlin's husband, Mossimo Giannulli, has been sprung from prison early as the dust settles on the college admission scandal -- the only question now ... is he at home, or is he holed up in a halfway house? Federal prison records show that Mossimo is, indeed, now "located" at a facility called RRM Long Beach -- which is a residential reentry management field office that oversees inmates transitioning back to public life. RRMLB itself does NOT appear to be a halfway house, but it does regulate inmates who stay at halfway houses. It's also where inmates released to home confinement have to check in routinely u...

The final insult: Some dying of COVID while awaiting vaccine – The Associated Press

After months of hoping to receive a COVID-19 immunization and then weeks of fighting the illness after one never came, Air Force veteran Diane Drewes was down to her last few breaths at a hospice center in Ohio when the phone rang. It was a health care worker, calling to schedule her first appointment for a coronavirus shot. Drewes’ daughter Laura Brown was stunned by the timing of the call in January but didn’t lash out over the phone or even explain that her 75-year-old mom was at the point of death. There just wasn’t any point, she said. “But me and my sister were upset that it came too late,” Brown said. “It seemed like the final insult.” More than 247,000 people have died of COVID-19 in the U.S. since vaccines first became available mid-December. Officials had warned that dispensing...

Robot artist sells art for $688,888, now eyeing music career – Associated Press

HONG KONG (AP) — Sophia is a robot of many talents — she speaks, jokes, sings and even makes art. In March, she caused a stir in the art world when a digital work she created as part of a collaboration was sold at an auction for $688,888 in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT).

He believes realistic-looking robots can connect with people and assist in industries such as healthcare and education. Sophia is...
