CANNES, France (AP) — The 75th Cannes Film Festival kicked off Tuesday with an eye turned to Russia’s war in Ukraine and a live satellite video address from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who called on a new generation of filmmakers to confront dictators as Charlie Chaplin satirized Adolf Hitler. After tributes and musical numbers, Zelenskyy was streamed live for the formally attired audience who had gathered for the premiere of Michel Hazanavicius’ zombie comedy “Final Cut.” Zelenskyy, dressed in his signature olive green shirt, drew a thunderous standing ovation and and spoke at length about the connection between cinema and reality.

The designation not only had Horford out for Tuesday’s start of the best-of-seven series, but also, based on the NBA’s required quarantine in such cases, possibly out for Thursday night’s Game 2 at FTX Arena and Saturday’s Game 3 at TD Garden. “We found out about Al about two hours ago,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said, less than two hours before tipoff. Udoka indicated that upcoming testing results could impact the timing of a Horford return. “He’s feeling fine,” Udoka said, “and we’ll go from there, wait to see results of tests and future tests.” Udoka said he was unaware of any contact-tracing issues with others on the team. It is the third time this season Horford, 35, … [Read more...] about Celtics without Marcus Smart, Al Horford for East finals Game 1 vs. Heat, joining Miami’s Lowry as out

Long lines are forming outside of McDonald's restaurants in Russia ahead of the company's nationwide exit, mirroring a time when eager consumers first gathered for the fast-food chain's arrival in Moscow over 30 years ago. McDonald's announced this week that it will sell its 850 restaurants in Russia due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The company temporarily shut down its businesses due to the conflict in March, but it said Monday that its overall presence in Russia is no longer "consistent with McDonald's values." The move marks the first time the fast-food chain has ever left a major global market. The company said it will seek a local buyer who will employ its 62,000 workers currently in Russia, and that it will continue to pay those employees until a deal is made.

The first hearing of its kind in 50 years, on May 17 the House Intelligence Committee's subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation will discuss unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), or UFOs to the rest of us. I knew there were rumors that it may one day happen, but I had thought we were another year out from that, given current world events and the political climate. But it sure was exciting to finally see such an important issue wind up on the calendar of U.S. Congress. I first became interested in the topic of UFOs back when I was a teenager. After seeing all sorts of stories in the news, I thought I would seek out government and military documents. I was 15, and thought perhaps I could get some answers, even though I knew there would be some level of obfuscation. As I fought for previously classified records under the Freedom of Information … [Read more...] about “I uncover hidden UFO files. Congress is finally listening”
