Here are a few of Virginia’s 2015 highlights....

There are some things we cannot bring back to Kentucky, no matter how much we wish we could, and here are 9 of them:...

Warner Brothers Discovery is taking DC in a different direction, and that pivot does not include Batgirl.

Reasons for this included WB Discovery looking to save tax dollars as well as the movie not fitting into parameters set for either a theatrical or streaming release. Apparently, Batgirl is too small for theaters, but too big for HBO Max....

Kidney By: Sarah Knapp Last Updated: July 22, 2020 The kidney is a paired vital organ that removes waste products from the blood and regulates fluid and electrolyte levels within the body. Only one is necessary, but this organ’s importance means that we have two; should one shut down, there is a backup.

After this week’s episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Mary MacPherran / Titania (Jameela Jamil) has definitely staked her claim in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The antagonist has had a ridiculous and hilarious stamp on the show thus far, which has only been made better by Jamil’s real-world guerrilla marketing for the show, including appearing in costume as Titania to vandalize She-Hulk posters and crash New York Fashion Week. Now, Titania has taken things a step further and even hacked She-Hulk’s IRL voice number, which fans could call to hear a voicemail message from Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) and Augustus “Pug” Pugliese (Josh Segarra) after the show’s San Diego Comic-Con trailer....

Thinking about donuts takes me back to many Saturday mornings as a kid, when my dad picked up a dozen of the sweet, sugary treasures from Dunkin’ Donuts. The combination of the fried dough, the delicious chocolate and strawberry glaze, and the burst of sweetness could put anyone in a food-induced coma for days, and I really don’t think anyone would mind. Plus, when you live in a state that made Thrillist’s list of “The 21 Best Donut Shops In America,” not once, but twice, you won’t need much persuasion to jump out of bed and get yourself a box or two....
Murders, ghostly encounters, UFO sightings, and more are all often solved or debunked just as much by the evidence at the scene as they are by the evidence that appears to be missing. But what happens when the evidence grows cold, or when there are few, if any, witnesses to a tragedy aside from the quiet horror of observing walls? Thousands of cases per year gather dust across the US, but advancing technology continues to make strides in tackling formerly unsolvable cases....
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has revealed a new image of Cassie Lang and her father.
