The Blacklist Recap: Season 8, Episode 21 — Who Is Red? – TVLine

RELATED STORIES As The Blacklist nears its Season 8 finale, the most pressing questions might be coming from behind the scenes, following the news that Megan Boone will exit the series after Season 8. But there is an on-screen mystery that has needed solving since the NBC drama debuted in 2013: Who is Raymond Reddington, really? We know the real Red died 30 years ago at Liz’s own hand, and the story that KGB officer Ilya Koslov later assumed Red’s identity turned out to be just that — a story. Wednesday’s episode, though, got tantalizingly close to revealing the actual, serious, no-really-guys-this-time-we-mean-it answer to the question of Red’s true persona, and unless the show is intentionally stretching out the misdirect of all misdirects, then the answer essentially was g...

Annie Murphy Has Ingested Coldplay Front Man Chris Martins Sweat – Vulture

<!-- -->Who is the most famous person whose sweat you’ve tasted? Follow up question: How? If you’re Annie Murphy (of Schitt’s Creek and Kevin Can F**k Himself fame), the respective answers are Coldplay front man Chris Martin and “touched him at a concert, then licked the sweat off my own hand.” While playing “True Confessions” against Seth Meyers on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Murphy revealed that she ingested some of Martin’s perspiration, so some a part of him could be with her always. Twihards will recall that this is exactly the same reason Edward gives for consuming one of Bella’s tears in Midnight Sun. So that’s the energy we can expect from Kevin Can F**k Himself.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — You’ve been hearing health experts warn not to let your guard down. The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) has issued the same warning. They’re talking about a virus,  although not the Coronavirus. Two Connecticut residents have tested positive for Powassan virus infection. The patients are between 50-79 years of age and live in New Haven and Fairfield Counties. Both were hospitalized with central nervous system disease and have been discharged and are recovering. Jocelyn Mullins, the Public Health Veterinarian at DPH said the disease infects the central nervous system.

Utah mom blames COVID vaccines after son and her husband were both hospitalized with blood clots – Daily Mail

A mother in Utah is blaming COVID-19 vaccines after her 17-year-old son and her husband were both hospitalized with rare blood clots soon after receiving the shots. 'There's no other explanation for what happened to my son and my husband, we are pretty certain that it was a direct result of the vaccine,' Cherie Romney said in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday.  Romney's son Everest, a healthy six-foot-nine high school basketball player, got his first Pfizer shot on April 21 and began experiencing severe symptoms less than 24 hours later, and her husband Preston suffered clots after getting a Moderna shot, she has said. Public health officials including the CDC say that the Pfizer and Moderna shots are not associated with an increased risk of rare blood clots, which were seen in a sm...

Lokis success shifts Disney Plus whole release schedule to Wednesdays – The A.V. Club

Loki!Photo: Disney Plus In moving to Wednesdays for the release of his brand new Disney+ show, local mischief god Loki not only finally achieved his dream of usurping his poppa Odin/Woden’s throne in the middle of the week—he also shifted the streaming network’s whole streaming release schedule. See, Loki—and now we’re discussing the very expensive entertainment property, and not just the plucky little godling—did so well with its Wednesday release date that Disney is going to stick with it…for everything. That is, any original programming for Disney+, from any new Marvel shows, to existing programs, to original streaming-only films, is now going to drop on Wednesdays, Loki-style, rather than the Fridays that were originally the norm. Per THR, there’s a couple things going on here. Fi...

These communities remain at high risk for dangerous Covid-19 variants rapidly increasing in US, expert warns – CNN

Yet with overall vaccination rates in the US slowing this month when compared to highs in April, health officials are raising awareness about the uneven distribution of vaccines in different parts of the country. "I'm very unconcerned for people who have been vaccinated, and I'm more concerned for people who have not been vaccinated and the communities that are largely unvaccinated," Andy Slavitt, former White House senior adviser for the Biden administration's Covid-19 response, told CNN's Don Lemon on Wednesday. Slavitt, who earlier described the Delta variant, or B.1.617.2, as "Covid on steroids," noted people who are in high vaccination areas are likely to know others likeminded about inoculations, and places with few vaccinations are more susceptible to clusters of Covid-19 infectio...
