| Katy Perry launches into space (and comes back to Earth 10 minutes later) |
|
| This week on things we never thought we'd say, Katy Perry got launched up into space, sang a song, revealed her tour setlist, and held a daisy up to the camera - by the time you've finished reading this paragraph, she'd come back down again. That's right, this year the pop star ditched Coachella in favour of a 10-minute space ride alongside Jeff Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sanchez and an oh-so-terrified Gayle King as the all-female crew underwent an experience nothing short of otherworldly. Speaking of otherworldly, things weren't too different back down on Earth either, as those who did make it to Coachella got to witness a historic, Easter-egg packed performance from Lady Gaga, stayed up until midnight to wait for an ever-late Travis Scott, and put on their best fashion looks for the influencer olympics. Beats thinking about Trump's tariffs for a day, we suppose. | Welcome to the Indy100 newsletter | |

| WARNING: The following article contains mild spoilers for the TV show The Last of Us and the game The Last of Us Part II. The first episode of The Last of Us Season 2 has aired and there was a massive change from the game it's based on, The Last of Us Part II, in the very first scenes before the opening titles rolled. HBO's hit video game adaptation is back and carries on where the first season ended. But while the second game starts in Jackson, four years on from the events at the end of the first game, Season 2 starts by taking viewers immediately back to Salt Lake City to expand on what happened there before then moving ahead to Jackson five (not four) years later. The opening scenes of Season 2 of the TV show give viewers a first look at new character Abby immediately, who isn't properly introduced until later in The Last of Us Part II, with her backstory and motives not being established until much later on. Is this setting the standard for the rest of the series? Read more here | |
| ChatGPT will remember what you did last summer... A new feature is coming to chatbot which will allow it to remember more information about everything you have asked it, almost like a real assistant. From silly general knowledge, summaries and even therapy (which has caused concern amongst medical professionals), ChatGPT has approximately 400 million weekly active users globally who now depend on it. OpenAI's generative artificial intelligence chatbot will be able to do even more with the expansion to its existing ability to remember previous conversations. OpenAI announced on Thursday: "ChatGPT can now reference all of your past chats to provide more personalised responses." The new feature will be available to ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro users, but is unavailable right now for people within the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. | |

| Aimee Lou Wood has called out SNL for being "mean and unfunny" over the comedy show's depiction of her in its White Lotus political satire sketch - 'The White Potus'. The skit has sparked a lot of discussion online, as social media users agreed with Aimee and weren't impressed with the parody portrayed by SNL cast member Sarah Sherman. In the skit that aired on Saturday night (April 12), viewers saw Donald Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) on vacation at the luxury resort but was having trouble unwinding as he was secretly freaking out over America's economic health. While host Jon Hamm parodied Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as Walton Goggins' White Lotus character Rick, who shared his idea to take fluoride out of drinking water. "What would that do to people's teeth?" he asked, before the camera panned to an over-exaggerated Sherman as Aimee Lou Wood's character, Chelsea, with beady eyes and large teeth. Wood responded on Instagram: "Yes, take the piss for sure – that's what the show is about – but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?" Find out more here |
