Grey’s Anatomy future confirmed as two show legends set to exit drama

Published by Daniella Wilson

ABC has officially renewed Grey’s Anatomy for a 23rd season. The drama, which was created by Shonda Rhimes and first hit our screens in 2005, is the longest running primetime medical drama on television. Season 22 is currently underway on ABC and Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK. While the season 23 renewal will come as welcome news to fans, it’s not all good news, as two of the show’s longtime cast members, Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver, were recently announced to be departing as series regulars at the end of season 22. Raver and McKidd – who play fan favourite characters Dr Teddy Altman and Dr Owen Hunt – will make their last appearance in the season finale in May.

Surprising male G-spot found in most detailed study of the penis yet

Surprising male G-spot found in most detailed study of the penis yet

Anatomy textbooks may need to be rewritten: the penis’s main erogenous zone isn’t where we thought it was SOPA Images Limited/Alamy The most detailed neuroanatomical study of the penis to date has found that its primary erogenous zone is the frenular delta, an area that has long been left out of anatomy textbooks and surgical training. The triangular-shaped zone is located on the ventral side, or underside, of the penis, where the head meets the shaft, and may be damaged by circumcision. “Although this may seem self-evident to anyone attuned to the sensations of their penis during sexual activity, our work scientifically validates the existence of a ventral penile anatomical region that serves as a centre of sexual sensation,” write the authors of the study, led by Alfonso Cepeda-Emiliani at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Based on this scientific validation, the frenular delta should be considered the “male G-spot” of the penis, says Eric Chung at the University of Queensland in Australia and president-elect of the International Society for Sexual Medicine, who …

The unpopular character is being written out of the show alongside Dr. Teddy Altman, played by Kim Raver, who has been on the show for 12 seasons. The two characters’ storylines have been linked throughout their time on the show, as they played friends turned lovers turned co-parents. “Grey’s Anatomy has been a huge chapter of my life, creatively and personally, and I’m deeply grateful for everything the show has given me over the years,” McKidd, who joined the show in 2008, said in a statement. “Playing Dr. Owen Hunt and directing on the show have both shaped …

Grey’s Anatomy will say goodbye to two of its longest-serving stars, as Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd are set to leave the hit medical drama in its upcoming season 22 finale. Raver and McKidd – who play fan favourites Dr Teddy Altman and Dr Owen Hunt – will bow out when the final episode airs on Wednesday 7 May on ABC in the US. The pair have been central to the show for nearly two decades, with McKidd joining in season 5 in 2008 and Raver arriving in season 6 before becoming a series regular in 2010. Their characters’ on-off relationship – which saw them meet as Army majors in Iraq before eventually marrying in season 18 – has been one of the drama’s most enduring storylines. Despite a turbulent recent chapter, which saw Teddy and Owen divorce after a failed attempt at an open marriage, there are hints the duo could still get a happy ending. Series creator Shonda Rhimes teased as much, saying it was “both bittersweet and joyful to give this couple …

Chain of Ideas by Ibram X Kendi review – anatomy of a conspiracy theory | Books

Published by Sam Flores

Informationsüberflutung? Weltschmerz? I’ve been searching and I don’t think even the Germans have a word that fully captures just how overwhelming the news cycle is right now. The zone has been well and truly flooded; just as you start trying to process one shocking event, something new hits the headlines. Chain of Ideas, a new book by professor Ibram X Kendi, doesn’t provide a one-world encapsulation of our modern woes. But, in a meticulously researched 500 pages, it lays out an essential framework for parsing current events. The central thesis is that the ideological origins of what Kendi terms “our authoritarian age” lie in the so-called “great replacement theory”. This is defined as “a political theory that powerful elites are enabling peoples of colour to steal the lives, livelihoods, cultures, electoral power, and freedoms of White people, who now need authoritarian protection”. Is this not just white nationalism by another name? Not exactly. “Since Trump’s election in 2016 great replacement politicians and theorists had been increasingly organising international meetings, networks, charters, and associations,” Kendi argues. “For a …
