Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and while the phone is still expensive -- it'll set you back $1,100 to start -- it's matching the price of its predecessor. That's admirable considering this newest iteration of the Flip phone series features several upgrades, including bigger screens and more powerful hardware. But the Z Flip 7 isn't the only clamshell foldable Samsung is debuting this summer. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is slightly smaller and bridges the gap between the two generatio

Japanese grandparents create life-size Totoro with bus stop for grandkids (2020)

Totoro is a hallmark character created by Studio Ghibli, Japan's beloved animation studio. The plump bodied, wide smiling magical creature’s most iconic image is that of him waiting for an unusual bus in the rain. The magic of that scene (featured in the 1988 film My Neighbor Totoro) has been a spark of nostalgia, imagination, and inspiration for a variety of creatives.
