Currently my parents and I share an account with my bro. We do that not because we cant afford it but because we barely use it.

"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" premiered at Cannes Film Festival yesterday evening. Here's what Harrison Ford had to say about returning to the character one last time. Plus, producer Kathleen Kennedy on whether an AI-generated Ford might appear as a younger version of himself in future Indy adventures.
Strongly recommended: the Ahi Lele Fire Show at Anaina Hou. (How close have you ever been to a fire dancer? You'll get a lot closer here. Maybe ... too close!)
The 4 members of ABBA showed up as recently as last year at the premiere of their Voyage avatar show in London. So perhaps they'll show up together next year for 2024 Eurovision in Sweden. It will be 50 years since they won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. I don't expect them to perform Waterloo, but it would be very nice if they would come on stage and wave to the worldwide audience.
Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is about to make its big-screen debut — only it's not a debut but rather a second (or third or fourth or fifth) act. Vox's Alissa Wilkinson looks at whether there's such a thing as a new idea these days, and if that's even what we're looking for. "Or do we yearn for the ability to be surprised, to fall in love with new versions of old stories that speak to our time?" she wonders.
EUROVISION is a diverse singing contest where European countries (plus Australia and Morocco, bizarrely) compete to outdo each other in eccentric and meme-worthy shows.

Thanks to @sharonecathcart for reminding me of this with her reference to:
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's "Ohio" set to a devastating series of photos from the Kent State shootings, and other 1960-70's protests, compiled by Hard Rain Productions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCS-g3HwXdc
I had forgotten how powerful this was and seeing the photos of peaceful protestors and the #CSNY song "Ohio".
I encourage everyone to view this.
We need people in the music and video industry to create equivalent products that address the chaos caused by the #SCOTUS and the #republican party. I wish I had those skills.
