While spreading hatred and fighting over life choices, ethnicity, class, and other social dividers, we have forgotten to address what the real issues are, i.e., environmental degradation aggravated by our actions, which threatens the existence of not only humanity but life on this blue planet as we know it. Not only do we choose to be deliberately ignorant and delude ourselves into thinking it will not affect us, we deny the truth and are even prepared to wage war to uphold a flawed, pathetic belief system. MacKenzie Donaldson’s dystopian survival drama, All the Lost Ones, offers a glimpse into the horrifying future we are headed towards through a narrative that paints ecological collapse in the backdrop of a conflict that emphasizes the age-old realization: the existence of humankind as a species is indeed the worst crisis of all.

General Hospital Spoilers – Vinessa Antoine Was The First Jordan-There Have Been Three

Antoine played Jordan Ashford on General Hospital from 2014-2018. The character originally came as a DEA agent trying to infiltrate the Jerome crime family-or what was left of it-to take down Julian Jerome (William DeVry).

General Hospital fans will fondly remember Vinessa Antoine, who played the original Jordan Ashford. After leaving the show in 2018, she became the first black Canadian actress to lead a primetime drama when she starred in Diggstown in her native country. Since the legal drama ended, she has appeared on streaming shows and in other Canadian series. And she has a brand new project that stars the most stylish Emmy winner to walk the face of this planet.

Booked and Busy The Madness, Netflix

On Vinessa Antoine’s Instagram account, she posted photos of her and the stylish Oscar-nominated Emmy-winner Colman Domingo took on the set of his upcoming Netflix limited series. The Madness drops November 28 and is about a media pundit who finds himself smack dab in the middle of a murder in the Poconos.

Martin Luther King Jr. would be stunned by the rollback of voting rights in this country and efforts to suppress the teaching of the struggle for civil rights, according to his eldest son, Martin Luther King III.

“People ask me, what do you think your father is doing? He’s not just turning over — he’s spinning in his grave,” MLK III told Deadline in a conversation at the SXSW Conference and Festivals. He imagines his late father thinking, “’What the heck is going on? Me, my team, we opened doors that should never be closed.’ And yet we’re going, it feels backwards — at least temporarily. Which is interesting because he prophetically wrote in his last book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?, obviously he wanted us to revert to community, but we are seeing chaos constantly. Every day something else comes out that’s more extreme than the last thing.

The MCU’s Spider-Man was always doomed to suffer the consequences of Iron Man’s actions. The friendly neighborhood hero skyrocketed to being one of the franchise’s most important and beloved characters shortly after Tom Holland’s introduction in Captain America: Civil War - no surprise given Spider-Man’s status in pop culture in general. Nevertheless, his tenure has been quite interesting to consider, especially in comparison to that of his Spider-Man: No Way Home co-stars, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. For better or worse, they were able to shine on their own in their series, but Holland’s Spider-Man is such a standout for his integral connection to the MCU, particularly Tony Stark.

Spider-Man became Iron Man’s protégé in the MCU, intriguingly stealing the opportunity from Iron Man 3’s Harley Keener and stalling his MCU future. Regardless, the two heroes had been importantly linked since long...
