Best Amazon deals: I browsed thousands of sales and found rare discounts on Shark, Waterpik and more
With a signpost national holiday just barely in the rearview, how nice that this weekend kicks off with another important "memorial": the birthday of that most American of poets, Walt Whitman. Herewith, some of his most oft-quoted lines:Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling. Stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others. Happiness, not in another place but this place … not for another hour, but this hour…
... which have got me thinking about the best Amazon sales this weekend.You see, as splendid as that sun is, you'll want to get protected come late afternoon, and this stylish cover-up is marked down to just $26. And hey, what with graduations and Father's Day on the horizon, there isn't a better time to devote some income to others, with stupid-low prices on a four-pack of Apple AirTags for your fave student to use during their summer vacation, a rare $75, or a high-tech pair of Sony noise-canceling headphones for Dad for their lowest price all year. As for happiness in this (meaning, your) place, things will feel more harmonious if bulky winter linens aren't hogging space in your closet; store 'em in these editor-approved clothing bins (a six-pack's just $10). You'll need a little R&R after all of that organizing, so kick your feet up and wind down with some bestselling under-eye masks ($16 for 24 pairs).Don't put your shopping off for another hour, at another place, pounce on it this hour! Because some of these markdowns won't be in stock forever, and, well, there are so, so many of them to peruse. Seriously: Amazon's weekend sale contains multitudes.

Hollywood Star Josh Brolin Says He Made More Money Trading Stocks Than Acting Due to Discipline And 1 Stock That Went 'to the Roof'
Hollywood actors are often seen as financially set for life, with little reason to seek extra income elsewhere. But acclaimed American actor Josh Brolin revealed in an interview that he turned to stock trading to make ends meet during a difficult stretch in his Hollywood career. Speaking with podcaster and journalist Guy Raz a few months ago, Brolin said he began stock investing to support his family during a time when his acting career hadn't taken off and he wasn't "cutting it." "I had children going to school and I just wasn't making money, man," Brolin said. "If you're lucky enough to make 100,000 a year, which I wasn't, then you're clearing 30,000 after taxes and commissions and if you have a lawyer and you have a manager and an agent and all this stuff that I had back then." Don't Miss: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Brolin said he started taking interest in stocks after meeting entrepreneur and investor Brett Markinson, who introduced him to the technical details and dynamics of trading. Brolin started asking him everything about investing to understand the finer details of the industry. Later, Brolin's role in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" gave him access to market experts and billionaires, with whom he discussed finance, discipline, and other key aspects of investing, he said. All of this proved worthwhile for Brolin, who said he earned more from investing than from his acting career. "I made more money than I had ever made acting for sure," Brolin told Raz. "It wasn't just because I got lucky with one stock that went to the roof, I was very disciplined in the breaths of upward momentum, you know, fairly solid stocks. So I'd get it when it would go down, I'd sell it when it would go up." Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . Brolin said that he is a long-term investor now because day trading requires a tight schedule and a disciplined routine. "If you do that, you have to be up at 4:30 every morning and you have to know your basket and you have done your due diligence for what you're trading for that day and the night before," according to Brolin. Brolin said he'd accepted early on that he'd spend his career as a working actor, constantly seeking roles to support himself. But he was also confident from the beginning that he'd always be able to handle his finances and provide for his family. "I knew that I could figure financials out, I knew that I could support myself, not just through acting. I didn't do TV for 20 years, so again, for somebody who needs to provide for their family, there was still some version of integrity," he said.

'Lilo & Stitch' passes 'Sinners' to become 2nd highest grossing film of 2025
'Lilo & Stich' and 'Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning' dominated the box office charts again after fueling a record-breaking Memorial Day weekend. Theaters in the U.S. and Canada had several new films to offer this weekend as well, including Sony's family friendly 'Karate Kid: Legends' and the A24 horror movie 'Bring Her Back. ' According to studio estimates Sunday, it added up to a robust $145 million post-holiday weekend that's up over 115% from the same timeframe last year. Disney's live-action hybrid 'Lilo & Stitch' took first place again with $63 million from 4,410 locations in North America. It was enough to pass 'Sinners' to become the second-highest grossing movie of the year with $280.1 million in domestic ticket sales. Globally, it's running total is $610.8 million. 'Sinners,' meanwhile, is still going strong in its seventh weekend with another $5.2 million, bumping it to $267.1 million domestically and $350.1 million globally. The eighth 'Mission: Impossible' movie also repeated in second place, with $27.3 million from 3,861 locations. As with 'Lilo & Stitch,' that's down 57% from its opening. With $122.6 million in domestic tickets sold, it's performing in line with the two previous installments. But with a reported production budget of $400 million, profitability is a ways off. Internationally, it added $76.1 million (including $25.2 million from China where it just opened), bringing its global total to $353.8 million. Leading the newcomers was Sony's 'Karate Kid: Legends,' with an estimated $21 million from 3,809 locations. The movie brings Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio together to train a new kid, the kung fu prodigy Li Fong ( Ben Wang ). Chan starred in a 2010 reboot of the 1984 original, while Macchio has found a new generation of fans in the series 'Cobra Kai,' which just concluded a six-season run. Reviews might have been mixed, but opening weekend audiences gave the PG-13 rated film a strong A- CinemaScore and 4.5 stars on PostTrak. It also only cost a reported $45 million to produce and has several weeks until a new family-friendly film arrives. Fourth place went 'Final Destination: Bloodlines,' which earned $10.8 million in its third weekend. The movie is the highest-grossing in the franchise, not accounting for inflation, with $229.3 million globally. The weekend's other big newcomer, 'Bring Her Back' rounded out the top five with $7.1 million from 2,449 screens. Starring Sally Hawkins as a foster mother with some disturbing plans, the film is the sophomore feature of twin filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, who made the 2023 horror breakout 'Talk to Me.' It earned a rare-for-horror B+ CinemaScore and is essentially the only new film in the genre until '28 Years Later' opens on June 20. A new Wes Anderson movie, 'The Phoenician Scheme,' also debuted in New York and Los Angeles this weekend, where it made $270,000. It expands nationwide next weekend. The summer box office forecast remains promising, though there's a long way to go to get to the $4 billion target (a pre-pandemic norm that only the 'Barbenheimer' summer has surpassed). The month of May is expected to close out with $973 million – up 75% from May 2024, according to data from Comscore.
