24-hour live coverage of Sweden's epic moose migration ends after 20 days
The program kicked off April 15, a week ahead of schedule due to warm weather and early moose movement.
Johan Erhag, SVT's project manager for 'The Great Moose Migration,' said this year's crew will have produced 478 hours of footage — 'which we are very satisfied with,' he wrote in an email to The Associated Press Saturday evening.

Figures for this year's audience were not immediately available.
'The Great Moose Migration' is part of a trend that began in 2009 with Norwegian public broadcaster NRK's minute-by-minute airing of a seven-hour train trip across the southern part of the country.
The slow TV style of programming has spread, with productions in the United Kingdom, China and elsewhere. The central Dutch city of Utrecht, for example, installed a 'fish doorbell' on a river lock that lets livestream viewers alert authorities to fish being held up as they migrate to spawning grounds.

Disney laying off several hundred employees worldwide
The Walt Disney Co. is laying off several hundred employees worldwide as the entertainment giant looks to trim some costs and adapt to evolving industry conditions. A Disney spokesperson confirmed the action on Tuesday. The exact number of jobs being cut is unknown, but layoffs will occur across several divisions, including television and film marketing, TV publicity, casting and development, and corporate financial operations. No entire teams will be eliminated. 'As our industry transforms at a rapid pace, we continue to evaluate ways to efficiently manage our businesses while fueling the state-of-the-art creativity and innovation that consumers value and expect from Disney,' the spokesperson said. 'As part of this ongoing work, we have identified opportunities to operate more efficiently and are eliminating a limited number of positions.' Last month Disney posted solid profits and revenue in the second quarter as its domestic theme parks thrived and the company added well over a million subscribers to its streaming service. The company also boosted its profit expectations for the year. Disney's also been riding a wave of box office hits, including 'Thunderbolts(asterisk)' and 'Lilo & Stitch," which is now the second-highest grossing movie of the year with $280.1 million in domestic ticket sales. In 2023 Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that Disney would cut about 7,000 jobs as part of an ambitious companywide cost-savings plan and 'strategic reorganization.' Disney said at the time that the job reductions were part of a targeted $5.5 billion cost savings across the company. Shares of Disney, which is based in Burbank, California, rose slightly in midday trading. Michelle Chapman, The Associated Press

Jadon Sancho offered route out of Man United if Chelsea pass on permanent deal
Sancho has spent the season on loan at Chelsea (Getty Images) Bayer Leverkusen are considering a move for Jadon Sancho, as he faces up to another move abroad in order to re-ignite his career. The Manchester United winger has had limited impact in a loan move at Chelsea FC, who will only decide whether they want to take up a permanent option after a post-season summit. Advertisement Former club Borussia Dortmund are also understood to have passed up the chance of a deal. Bayer Leverkusen are nevertheless understood to be pondering a deal, due to Sancho's previous impact in the Bundesliga. The 25-year-old has 40 goals and 47 assists in 118 appearances during previous spells for Dortmund. By contrast, he only has three goals and five assists in 30 Premier League games for Chelsea. United are desperate to make sales this summer, and Sancho has long been on the market, going back to a difficult spell under previous manager Erik ten Hag. The winger, also has interest from Serie A, never fully settled after an expensive move in 2021, only ever showing flashes of the form he produced for Dortmund. Advertisement Leverkusen are currently deciding on a shortlist of managers to replace Real Madrid-bound Xabi Alonso, and one of those is Ten Hag. If they do choose the Dutch coach, it is likely that any interest in Sancho would end.

Gen Zer Loves New Tattoo, Then She Realizes Something: 'What Do I Do?'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman was admiring her new tattoo when she had a dawning realization—to anyone other than her, it was upside down. The woman, 18, who did not give her name but who posts to Reddit under the username u/Lazy-Ad3123, took to the r/tattooadvice sub on May 8, where she wrote: "Got a new tattoo and I LOVE it but I just realised..." She showed off the tattoo, a black-and-white spiral staircase on her arm, with the stairs beginning from the bottom—from her point of view, at least. "It's upside down to people when I show it off," she wrote. "What do I do? I am in love with everything else about it. Is it that big of a deal?" Luckily, Redditors flocked to the post—which has collected more than 12,000 upvotes—to assure the woman it was likely not an issue. "Looking at it upside down, it still looks like a funky staircase," one commenter said, as another suggested "just point upwards when you show it off." And as one pointed out: "Otherwise you are looking at an upside down staircase for your life. They see it once, you see it daily. You are good." Another said the placement of the railing "makes it look like an impossible staircase. Which is kind of cool, honestly," as others compared it to a piece by Dutch graphic artist MC Escher. Escher's Relativity artwork features a room with staircases criss-crossing in a labyrinth-like way, with figures walking on them defying the laws of gravity. The famous piece has been referenced many times in pop culture, including 2010 film 'Inception' and 1986's 'Labyrinth' starring David Bowie, according to the BBC. The woman's tattoo, which she took after realizing it would be upside down to others. The woman's tattoo, which she took after realizing it would be upside down to others. Reddit u/Lazy-Ad-3123 In a comment under her post, the woman shared her gratitude to the commenters, and wrote: "I think I just kind of forgot about angles and perspectives and it was just a shock when I realised haha. Thank you I'm overthinking." A 2021 study found that tattoos are most common among Millennials in the United States, with 12 per cent of Millennial respondents stating they had one tattoo, and 29 per cent having multiple tattoos. When it came to Gen X, 14 per cent had one, and 18 per cent had multiple, compared to 67 per cent who had no tattoos. With Millennials, that number dropped to 57 per cent, according to an Ipsos study of 1,016 respondents from the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. Newsweek has contacted u/Lazy-Ad-3123 via Reddit for comment on this story. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures you want to share?
