Today’s Mashable Roundup
Ridiculous TV deals to shop this weekend: Save up to $5,000 on Samsung, LG, and Sony
Samsung 75-inch The Terrace Neo QLED 4K TV
(save $1,067.78)
Sony 83-inch Bravia XR A80L QLED 4K TV
(save $1,501.99)
LG 97-inch G5 evo AI OLED 4K TV
(save $5,000)
Not all TVs are created equal. If you’ve decided to go all in on a fancy TV, we’ve found a few options that will ease the blow to your bank account. That’s not to say they’re cheap — these TVs carry steep (dare I say ridiculous) price tags. But a deal is a deal, right?
Whether you’re looking for a TV you can watch outdoors, a truly massive screen, or a gorgeous display that’s great for gaming, we’ve rounded up the top three TV deals heading into this weekend. Several other sizes of each of these TVs are also on sale, so be sure to click through on the product pages for more details.
Why we like it
A specialized TV designed for outdoor viewing, Samsung’s The Terrace is in a class of its own. Even in bright daylight, this 75-inch QLED 4K TV will look sharp and cut through the glare. So you can watch sports while tending to your garden or catch up on your favorite shows while enjoying some sunshine. It also boasts an IP56 weatherproof rating to protect it from rain and dust. It’s truly the ultimate patio upgrade. There’s only a few left in stock, so if you’re in the market and can afford it, we recommend adding it to your cart ASAP.
Why we like it
Sony’s 83-inch Bravia XR A80L is an older model from 2023, but it’s still a great pick — especially since it’s currently over $1,500 off. Mashable’s UK team named it one of the best TVs for gaming, particularly for PS5. It boasts features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping, Auto Genre Picture Mode, Variable Refresh Rate, Auto Low Latency Mode, and a dedicated gaming menu for customization. It’s also selling out quick, with only a few left in stock at Amazon at the time of writing. In other words, act fast if you want to secure the deal.
Why we like it
Mashable’s sister site PCMag has tested hundreds of TVs with highly specialized equipment and named the LG G5 evo “one of the most gorgeous TVs you can buy.” It’s incredibly bright, with the wide and accurate colors, and a “phenomenal picture.” It easily took home their Editors’ Choice award for the best OLED TV last year. The one downfall? It’s wildly expensive. This massive 97-inch LG G5 OLED TV is basically the price of a new car, but if you can afford it, it’s actually on sale for its best price to date (believe it or not). We don’t usually recommend buying from a third-party seller at Amazon, but it’s technically $3 cheaper than Best Buy and LG’s website, making it the best deal.
GPT 5.4 arrives on ChatGPT: 5 improvements to know
OpenAI dropped GPT‑5.4 this week, and the company said ChatGPT power users should notice improvements right away. The launch comes just days after the launch of GPT-5.3 Instant, a more conversational model geared toward everyday users.
OpenAI wrote that GPT-5.4 is the “most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work.” So, obviously, GPT-5.4 is designed for professionals and developers. The company also announced the launch of GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT‑5.4 Pro, aimed at people who want peak performance.
Here are three improvements that OpenAI made.
Improved efficiency
OpenAI said that GPT-5.4 operates more efficiently than ever.
It wrote that it was the company’s “most token-efficient reasoning model yet, using significantly fewer tokens to solve problems when compared to GPT‑5.2, translating to reduced token usage and faster speeds.” Basically, that means GPT-5.4 can solve problems and deliver answers with fewer tokens.
Better at doing real-world tasks
OpenAI said that the new model was far more capable of completing real-world tasks related to knowledge work.
Wrote OpenAI: “On GDPval, which tests agents’ abilities to produce well-specified knowledge work across 44 occupations, GPT‑5.4 achieves a new state of the art, matching or exceeding industry professionals in 83.0% of comparisons, compared to 70.9% for GPT‑5.2.”
In other words, it’s capable of doing a lot of people’s jobs reasonably well.
Improved accuracy
OpenAI claimed that GPT-5.4 cut down on mistakes. Compared with GPT-5.2, OpenAI said the model is 33 percent less likely to make false claims and its claims were 18 percent less likely to contain any errors, according to OpenAI.
More flexible approach to thinking
Instead of simply giving GPT-5.4 a prompt and letting it do its thing, you can course-correct the model as it goes.
“In ChatGPT, GPT‑5.4 Thinking can now provide an upfront plan of its thinking, so you can adjust course mid-response while it’s working, and arrive at a final output that’s more closely aligned with what you need without additional turns.”
ChatGPT for Excel add-in
Enterprise customers can also use GPT-5.4 with a new OpenAI plugin, the ChatGPT for Excel add-in. per OpenAI, the latest models will be more capable of creating and analyzing spreadsheets.
How to try GPT-5.4
As per usual, the new model starts rolling out today. It will be available in ChatGPT, Codex, and via the API. For this release, you’ll need a paid ChatGPT subscription to use the new models, at least, for now.
You can read OpenAI’s full blog post about the launch at the company’s website.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
LELO quietly launched a new genderless butt plug today, and it looks absolutely delicious
LELO, the super luxe sex toy brand known for its designer vibrators, just released a unisex butt plug called the Surfer 2. (The OG Surfer is a prostate massager designed specifically for P-spot stimulation, and you can still buy it.) This reimagined anal plug is designed for all bodies and skill levels.
Credit: LELO
If you’ve yet to experience just how transformative a vibrating butt plug (or honestly, any butt plug) can feel while you’re getting saucy with a partner or yourself, I highly recommend changing that ASAP. According to data shared by LELO, 44 percent of people who don’t currently practice anal play would actually like to, but their concerns outweigh their curiosity. I get the hesitation, but a good butt plug can take a session from “OK” to “Oh, OK!” in a matter of seconds. Quick warning, though: If you’re having P-in-V intercourse while wearing this, your partner may come a lot quicker than expected.
The Surfer 2 is medium-sized and features eight intensities and four modes, plus two exclusive app modes if you’re feeling adventurous and want to let your partner take over. Of course, it’s waterproof and USB-rechargeable. You’ll get two hours on a single charge (it also auto-shuts off every 20 minutes, so things don’t get too intense), and it comes in cyber purple or black.
At $119, it’s a bit of an investment, but a high-end silicone butt plug from a luxury brand never loses its worth. If you can’t quite stomach the price right now, LELO is still offering up to 40% off select toys across its site, and you’ll also score a free LELO Dot Travel on any order over $199.
Tinder must pay $60.5 million in class-action settlement. Are you eligible?
If you purchased a Tinder subscription in California around 10 years ago, you might be eligible for settlement money.
In 2015, Tinder user Allan Candelore sued the dating app, claiming that it charged older users more than younger users for the premium subscriptions Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold. The complaint alleged that Tinder violated California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act and Unfair Competition Law.
Tinder denies any wrongdoing or violation of the law. But now, over ten years later, Tinder has agreed to settle Candelore v. Tinder, Inc. and pay eligible users $60.5 million in the class-action settlement.
Here’s who is eligible for this money, according to the class action notice: Purchasers of Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold in California at any time on or after March 2, 2015, who were over the age of 29. Or, purchasers of Plus or Gold in California at any time after March 2, 2016, who were over the age of 28. Those who paid more for the subscriptions will get a bigger payout.
The deadline to opt out of the settlement or object to it is April 8, and the deadline to choose a payment method is August 18. In the meantime, the final approval hearing will be on May 20.
According to ClassAction.org, around 268,000 California Tinder users are covered by the settlement. You can learn more about the settlement and whether you’re entitled to money at the settlement website.
Mashable has reached out to Tinder for comment.
Save $300: The Eufy E25 robot vacuum just dropped to its lowest price ever
SAVE $300: As of March 6, get the Eufy E25 robot vacuum and mop for just $599.99. That takes 33% off its list price for $300 in savings.
With everything on your to do list, why not automate one of them? While you can’t have a robot walk the dog or babysit the kids (yet), at the very least you can have one clean your floors. As winter turns to spring, your house deserves a refresh. If you’re ready to pass off the responsibility of cleaning your floors to a robot vacuum, then there’s a deal to shop now.
As of March 6, the Eufy E25 robot vacuum and mop is down to $599.99 at Amazon. That saves you $300 off its $899.99 list price. Plus, according to Camelcamelcamel, that’s the robot vacuum’s lowest price ever.
The Eufy E25 robot vacuum does more than just sweep up dust and debris. It’s also a combo mop that refreshes the roller mop with clean water so it doesn’t spread spills. For pet owners, the E25 is designed to prevent hair and fur from tangling and clogging the vacuum. With the self-docking station, the E25 empties dust and debris into a 3L bag.

Score $402 off the Panasonic LUMIX GH7 Mirrorless Camera before it completely sells out
SAVE 18%: As of March 6, you can get the Panasonic LUMIX GH7 Mirrorless Camera for $1,797.99, down from $2,199.99, at Amazon. That’s an 18% discount or $402 savings.
If you’re tired of shooting on your smartphone and want to start taking your video production a little more seriously, Panasonic just dropped a deal on one of the best mirrorless cameras out there.
As of March 6, you can get the Panasonic LUMIX GH7 Mirrorless Camera for $1,797.99, down from $2,199.99, at Amazon. That’s an 18% discount or $402 savings. It’s also the best price we’ve tracked on this model (and the lowest price Amazon’s listed it for in 30 days). Fair warning: As of writing, Amazon shows five left in stock, so you’ll want to move fast.
Over on the r/Lumix subreddit, videographers say the GH7 is an “Underrated Cinema Camera Champion.” Camera snobs love to get hung up on the fact that it uses a Micro Four Thirds sensor instead of a massive full-frame one, but real professionals couldn’t care less. One user, who owns a high-end Sony Venice 2 alongside their GH7, pointed out that if you use the same lens and lighting, “you would not be able to tell the difference” between the two.
As for the actual specs, the GH7 features Apple ProRes RAW internal recording and supports 32-bit float recording (if you use the DMW-XLR2 adaptor), which is a fancy way of saying you won’t have to stress about adjusting your audio levels while you’re rolling. And if you’re making content for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube all at once, you will love the Open Gate feature — it lets you shoot in multiple aspect ratios for all platforms in a single shot.
Streaming deal alert: Get both Hulu and Disney+ for less than $5 per month
SAVE $8/MONTH: Through March 24, new subscribers can get both Hulu and Disney+ with ads for just $4.99 per month for three months instead of $12.99 per month. That’s a grant total of just $14.97 and a savings of $24.
The best streaming deal of 2026 (so far) just dropped. Most of the streaming discounts we’ve seen so far this year have only saved a few measly bucks here and there. So the fact that Hulu and Disney+ just casually shaved $8 per month off the already stellar bundle deal is worth shouting about.
Through March 24, new and eligible returning subscribers can sign up for both Hulu and Disney+ (with ads) for just $4.99 per month for three months — a grand total of only $14.97. It typically costs $12.99 per month for the bundle, so you’ll slash $8 off per month for a total savings of $24.
Even at full price, we think the Disney+ and Hulu streaming bundle is one of the best streaming deals you can get. By bundling the two services together, each $11.99 per month individually, you already save about 46%. With the extra $8 savings per month, you end up saving about 79%.
Of course, like any great streaming deal, there’s just one stipulation. This offer is only valid for new and eligible returning Hulu and Disney+ subscribers, which means anyone who hasn’t been a subscriber to either streaming service in at least the past month or so. Current Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, and/or bundle subscribers are not eligible.
Hulu and Disney+ each have pretty epic catalogs and you’ll get unfettered access to both — with some ads sprinkled in. From award-winning originals to a boatload of movies fresh out of the theater (as well as classics), you’ll be able to watch several Mashable favorites from the past few years. That includes Dying for Sex, The Life of Chuck, Andor, The Lowdown, Shōgun, and The Ugly Stepsister, just to name a few.
If you’re looking for a way to tap into two entirely new streaming libraries without spending an arm and a leg, $4.99 per month for the bundle is an absolute steal. Just note that the price will jump back to $12.99 automatically after three months unless you cancel.
Daryl Hannah criticizes her portrayal in Love Story as textbook misogyny
To say Daryl Hannah comes off poorly in FX’s Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette would be an understatement.
The series paints the Kill Bill and Splash actor (played by Dree Hemingway) as shallow, inconsiderate, and desperate in her relationship with John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly).
Now, in an op-ed for The New York Times, Hannah shares her disapproval of the show’s portrayal of her as an aggravating obstacle for John and Carolyn (Sarah Pidgeon) to overcome in their relationship.
“A real, living person is not a narrative device,” Hannah writes. “There is also a gendered dimension to this thinking. Popular culture has long elevated certain women by portraying others as rivals, obstacles or villains. Isn’t it textbook misogyny to tear down one woman in order to build up another?”
Hannah also denies many of the most egregious actions Love Story‘s version of her carries out, from doing cocaine off a Kennedy family heirloom to crashing Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s (Naomi Watts) private memorial.
“It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show,” Hannah writes. “These are not creative embellishments of personality. They are assertions about conduct — and they are false.”
Hannah also reveals that in the weeks since Love Story‘s premiere, she has also received “hostile and even threatening messages” from viewers.
Hannah is not the only person in Love Story‘s orbit to criticize the show’s depiction of real-life events. Jack Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy (played by Grace Gummer in the show) and nephew of JFK Jr., has also spoken up.
In a March 1 appearance on CBS Sunday Morning, Schlossberg called out Love Story executive producer Ryan Murphy.
“If you want to know someone who’s never met anyone in my family, knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan Murphy,” he said.
He added: “The guy knows nothing about what he’s talking about, and he’s making a ton of money on a grotesque display of someone else’s life.”
Hannah’s op-ed echoes Schlossberg’s words, as she labeled Love Story a “tragedy-exploiting television series.”
Love Story is the latest Murphy series to come under fire for its handling of real, sensitive events. In 2022, Netflix’s Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story faced criticism from family members of victims, none of whom were approached about the series.

The Bose Ultra Open-Ear earbuds are $100 off as Best Buys Deal of the Day
SAVE $100: As of March 6, the Bose Ultra Open-Ear earbuds have dropped to $199 at Best Buy as part of its Deal of the Day. This is $100 off their list price of $299.
Open earbuds are a great investment for those who like to be more aware of their surroundings, whether you’re running outside or on a long commute. The Bose Ultra Open-Ear earbuds are one of our favorite open earbuds, and if you’ve been hoping to pick them up, Best Buy’s Deal of the Day has them on sale for $199.
This deal saves you $100 on the Bose Ultra Open-Ear earbuds. What’s even better is multiple colors are down to this price, but they won’t stay there for long. You have one day, and one day only, to take advantage of this great deal.
When it comes to our roundup of the best open earbuds, the Bose Ultra Open-Ears earned a spot as the “best sounding clip-on design.” Mashable’s Bethany Allard said, “They simply sound way better than any pair of open earbuds has a right to.” But it’s not just their great sound quality that stands out. Allard also said, “Although the Ultra Opens share the same cuff-like design as our top pick earbuds, we didn’t find any uncomfortable pinching or squeezing, even after hours of wear. They stood out as the most comfortable pair of open earbuds we tested.”
Our review from RJ Andersen had plenty of praise for these, saying, “These buds are extremely comfortable and score top marks for battery life, spatial audio, and sound quality.” Plus, they’re IPX4 water resistant. So if you get stuck in the rain or you’re dealing with a lot of sweat from a workout, these earbuds can handle it.

Im watching the Australian GP for free this weekend — heres how to live stream F1 for free
TL;DR: You can sign up for a 7-day free trial of Apple TV+ through Prime Video Channels. This lets you watch select F1 races live with the Prime Video app.
I consume sport like water. If there’s something big taking place, you best believe I’m watching. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the early hours of the morning or late night on a Saturday — I’m clearing my schedule to follow along.
The problem with this habit is that it’s increasingly expensive to watch everything I want to watch. I’ve come to terms with this sad reality, but that doesn’t mean I’m not constantly on the lookout for ways to watch for free. And no, I’m not talking about anything dodgy. I don’t want to sit through a constantly buffering stream that floods my screen with extremely dodgy ads. I want a legit stream that doesn’t cost anything.
So imagine my glee when I stumbled upon a way to watch select F1 races for free. I’ve followed F1 for as long as I can remember, and I don’t recall a season starting with as much uncertainty. Due to a major set of regulation changes, it truly feels like anyone’s title to win. I’ve been stung before by F1. I’ve been ready to experience an evenly-matched grid with unpredictable racing, only to be left with the same handful of drivers winning every week. But I refuse to lose faith. This is the year when it all changes.
And everything begins at the Australian GP. Ferrari and Mercedes have shown good pace in testing, but you never really know how things will pan out until the lights turn green.
If you want to watch F1 2026 for free from anywhere in the world, we’ve got all the information you need.
When is the Australian GP?
The Australian GP is the first race of the 2026 F1 season. Here’s the full schedule from the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne:
-
Practice 1 — 8:30-9:30 p.m. ET on March 5
-
Practice 2 — 12-1 a.m. ET on March 6
-
Practice 3 — 8:30-9:30 p.m. ET on March 6
-
Qualifying — 12-1 a.m. ET on March 7
-
Race — 11 p.m. ET on March 7
The great news for fans is that it’s never been easier to follow all the action without spending anything.
How to watch the Australian GP for free
I am, like a lot of people, a paid-up member of Amazon Prime. That subscription comes with a lot of benefits, including fast shipping, exclusive Prime Day deals, and access to Prime Video. Honestly, I don’t watch a lot of Prime Video. I’m really in it for the fast delivery. We buy a lot of “essential” stuff and if it isn’t going to come the next day, I don’t want to know.
But now that the new F1 season is starting, I’m suddenly a lot more interested in Prime Video. That’s because you can now sign up for a 7-day free trial of Apple TV+ through Prime Video Channels. F1 is now exclusive to Apple TV in the U.S., so by gaining access to this free trial, you can watch select races for free this season. The subscription typically costs £9.99 per month after the trial ends, but you can cancel at any time. So there’s no obligation to pay anything.
I pay for Amazon Prime, so you could make the argument that this isn’t really a free hack. But I was always going to subscribe to this service. And anyway, you can make use of Amazon Prime’s 30-day free trial period (if you’re new to the service) to gain access to Apple TV without spending anything at all. This is sneaky, but I suspect millions of fans will be using this exact method this season.
It truly has never been easier to watch F1 for free. You can follow in my footsteps and use Prime Video, or you can go directly through Apple TV. Either way, you don’t need to pay to watch Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Charles Leclerc battle it out in 2026.

Jimmy Kimmel reacts to Trump firing Kristi Noem
Donald Trump has fired Kristi Noem, his secretary of Homeland Security, and Jimmy Kimmel has thoughts.
“Kristi Noem will be, as Trump said, ‘moving to be Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere’,” says Kimmel in the clip above. “And I think I speak for all of us when I say, we wish Kristi luck in her brand new, completely made up job.”
Kimmel then moves on to Noem’s replacement, Markwayne Mullin, playing a montage of interview clips in which Mullin repeatedly stumbles over his words and forgets the names of places.
“Let’s just say that Markwayne is no Mark Twain,” says Kimmel. “Thank you again, Mr President. The homeland is secure.”

NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for March 6, 2026
The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult to solve if you have great awareness.
Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that’s captured the public’s attention. The game is all about finding the “common threads between words.” And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we’ve served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.
If you just want to be told today’s puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today’s Connections solution. But if you’d rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.
What is Connections?
The NYT‘s latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications’ Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there’s only one correct answer.
If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.
Here’s a hint for today’s Connections categories

Yellow: A scrounger

NYT Strands hints, answers for March 6, 2026
Today’s NYT Strands hints are easy if you’re a zealot.
Strands, the New York Times‘ elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There’s always a theme linking every solution, along with the “spangram,” a special, word or phrase that sums up that day’s theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
If you’re feeling stuck or just don’t have 10 or more minutes to figure out today’s puzzle, we’ve got all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

If you just want to be told today’s word, you can jump to the bottom of this article for today’s Wordle solution revealed. But if you’d rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.
Where did Wordle come from?
Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
What’s the best Wordle starting word?
The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
What happened to the Wordle archive?
The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website’s creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.
Is Wordle getting harder?
It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn’t any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle‘s Hard Mode if you’re after more of a challenge, though.
Here’s a subtle hint for today’s Wordle answer:
Gooey.

Tracy Morgan, Daniel Radcliffe, and the Reggie Dinkins cast weigh in on the shows improv
If you ask The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins stars Tracy Morgan and Bobby Moynihan about whether they brought their improvisation experience to set, they’re quick to praise the show’s writing instead.
“The writing is so good, you wouldn’t perfect it,” Morgan told Mashable in a video interview.
“There’s not a super amount [of improv],” Moynihan said. “We’ll get to the end of a take, or we’ll do two takes, and usually on the third one, we’ll mess around a little bit.”
However, if you turn the same improv question on Morgan and Moynihan’s co-stars or show creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means, you’ll get nothing but praise for the SNL alumni’s improv skills.
Carlock and Means described wanting to keep Morgan’s improv moments in the show as much as possible.
During one of the talking heads, Morgan “described a watch as ‘sweet like bear meat,'” Carlock recalled. “And I was like, ‘All right, I don’t know what that means exactly, but we have to have that in the show.”
(Another Morgan line they hope to work into the show? “You don’t mess with New York. We killed King Kong.”)
Elsewhere, stars Daniel Radcliffe and Erika Alexander pinpointed how Moynihan’s improv elevated scenes.
“I love watching Bobby do improv,” Alexander said. “He’s like a weird dog.”
“What are you saying?” Radcliffe asked.
Alexander clarified, saying that if you told Moynihan, “‘Go fetch this joke,’ he’ll find it.”
“Now I’m with you,” Radcliffe said.

Jimmy Fallon serenades Stephen Colbert with a poignant and funny song
Stephen Colbert interviewed Jimmy Fallon on Thursday’s edition of The Late Show, and the result was equal parts amusing, nostalgic, and poignant.
In the clip above the pair spend time reminiscing on everything from the various bits they’ve done together over the years (including the Strike Force Five podcast) to the time they travelled to meet the Pope (Colbert shares the texts he sent Fallon when The Tonight Show host decided to do some comedy bits moments before the Pope was due to walk in the room).
The interview ends with Fallon present Colbert with a portrait he’s had made for him, and then serenading him with a version of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”:
“And now, the end is near
And so you face, the final curtain
But Trump, he made it clear
He wants you gone, of that we’re certain
You’ve been, a gracious host
We’ve loved you since, the old Report days
And more, much more than this
You did it your way.”
Thankfully, we still have two-and-a-half more months of The Late Show to go.

All your Grindr questions, answered
If you’re a gay man looking to get laid, there’s one go-to app that can help: Grindr. Sure, there are a number of queer-friendly hookup apps serving the community in 2026 (Sniffies, Jack’d, Scruff, etc.), but Grindr remains the household name in gay hookup culture. Even my mom knows about Grindr. But if you’re new to the world of queer hookups and want to see what the hullabaloo is all about, you might be wondering: what is Grindr?
Lucky for you, we at Mashable are Grindr connoisseurs. Here’s a deep dive into everything you need to know about the app.
What is Grindr?
Grindr is the world’s largest dating app that’s specifically designed for gay, bi, trans, and queer folks across the globe. It was created in 2009 specifically for gay and bi men, and while it still leans male-focused, the app now reflects a broader range of gender expressions and sexualities.
The intent while using Grindr? Well, that’s each individual user’s choice. You can chat, send photos, meet up for dates, but it’s more widely considered a hookup app than a place where you’ll find your future husband.
How does Grindr work?
The app uses a grid format to display profiles. Grindr is a location-based service, so profiles show up on the grid in order of proximity to your exact location. Every profile is shaped by each individual, so share as much or as little as you’d like. Display up to five images total (with no full nudity allowed), create a bio, express what it is you’re looking for and what you’re into, give your height, weight, and more. Alternatively, you can choose to have a fully blank profile that reveals zero information to stay discreet.
Once your profile is designed to your liking, you can create an album if you prefer. An album is private and can only be sent to users of your choosing. Typically, albums contain images and videos that are… well… filled with dick and hole. It is what it is.
From here, it’s all about conversation. See someone you like? Send a ‘tap’ to break the ice. It’s a quick, silent hello that lets them know you’re interested. Or just dive right in with a direct message. As the conversation persists, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to keep the conversation in your inbox or meet up in real life.
What is Grindr used for?
Though labeled an LGBTQ+ social and dating app, you’ll quickly see that its primary focus lies elsewhere from the first few messages you receive — and that’s with quick, no-strings-attached hookups. You will receive unsolicited nudes. You will be asked to do some heinous shit you’ve never heard of. You will think a conversation is heading somewhere romantic, only for it to turn sexual in an instant. It’s simply the name of the game, and if you want to be on the app, you just have to get used to it no matter where your focus lies.
As mentioned earlier, it’s an important reminder that what you do on Grindr is up to you. Its main design is for meeting people, but whether that connection stays online or evolves into an in-person meet-up is entirely your choice.
Is Grindr free?
Yes, Grindr is free, but the free version of Grindr fucking sucks. Excuse my French, but it’s a point that needs to be made. Grindr’s free version in 2026 is basically unusable due to constant ads, fewer messageable profiles, and non-stop glitches. This was not the case years ago, which might leave newer users to believe that the issue might be internal. But, nope. Once you pay up, Grindr runs as smooth as butter.
This isn’t me telling you to pay for Grindr the second you download it. Honestly, 95 percent of the time, you probably shouldn’t. But every now and then, it’s nice to have a smoother version of the app, especially if you’re in a new city on your own and feeling a little sluttier than usual. That said, below you can see paying for Grindr will get you per tier. Oh, and forewarning, it gets expensive.

Does Grindr notify screenshots?
No, Grindr doesn’t notify other users if you screenshot anything on the app. But, screenshotting on the app has become trickier, and that’s something I’m pretty happy about. In 2022, Grindr introduced the option to move all your NSFW content into albums. By doing so, it became impossible for users to screenshot the contents. When trying to screenshot an image or video inside of an album, screenshotters are faced with a black screen when they look for the image in their camera roll.
When this feature first launched, any image sent outside of an album was still fair game. You could screenshot them without the sender ever knowing, leaving the door wide open for nude collectors to do exactly that. It wasn’t until recently that Grindr also black-screened screenshotted images outside of albums, meaning any photo you send on Grindr is completely and totally private. Even if you try screenshotting the chat instead of opening the image, you’ll still just get a black screen. Though, you can still screenshot singular profiles, the grid as a whole, and text chats.
How do I delete my Grindr account?
Grindr isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine. Luckily, deleting your account is easy.
- 5 mins
- iPhone
Step 1:
Click your profile photo in the top left corner on the app
Step 2:
Scroll down to “Settings”
Step 3:
Scroll to the very bottom in settings and it will say “Delete Profile” displayed in a red button
Step 4:
Tell Grindr why you are deleting your account or click “Skip” at the bottom
Step 5:
You’ll be brought to a final page where Grindr asks you to type the word “DELETE” in caps to ensure you no longer want this profile
Step 6:
Once “DELETE” is typed in, click delete at the bottom and your profile is gone
Lego is giving away free Star Wars Lightsabers — how to claim yours this weekend
TL;DR: Lego is running Star Wars make and take events on March 8. A limited quantity of Lego Star Wars Lightsabers will be available for free at participating stores.
Lego regularly runs make and take events in which participants can walk away with an exclusive set without spending anything. These free giveaways always cause a stir, but nothing gets the people going quite like Star Wars.
Visitors to select Lego Stores on March 8 (from 12-2 p.m. GMT) can participate in an awesome Lego Star Wars Lightsaber make and take event. This free giveaway is intended for children aged 10+, and the model is available on a first-come-first-serve basis, at participating locations in the U.S., while supplies last. At one stage it looked like this event wasn’t coming to the U.S., but we’ve been spared that crushing disappointment.
This Lego Star Wars Lightsaber is not available for purchase. By taking part in this special event, Star Wars fans can take home something that money literally cannot buy. The only catch is that you’re limited to one build per participant, but come on — you can’t just turn up and stock up on these exclusive Star Wars sets for free.

Score this free Lego Star Wars Lightsaber at your nearest participating store on March 8.

Deals on premium gaming mice do pop up pretty often, but it’s a lot less common to see one of Logitech’s flagship esports models sitting at a low price from two major retailers at the same time.
As of March 6, the Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 wireless gaming mouse is available for $129.99 at both Amazon and Walmart, dropping from its usual $179.99 price and saving you $50 either way. That’s a 28% discount and the best price we’ve seen in 2026 (confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel).
The PRO X Superlight 2 builds on Logitech’s already popular Superlight formula with a 60-gram design, Lightforce hybrid switches, and the HERO 2 sensor. According to the specs, this mouse’s sensor can hit up to 44,000 DPI and track at over 888 IPS — built for competitive-level responsiveness and minimal drag.
Alongside 95-hour battery life and USB-C charging — great for long sessions with shooters and MOBAs like Fortnite and League of Legends — the PRO X Superlight 2 has zero-additive PTFE feet for a smoother glide, 8kHz polling, and even five programmable buttons.
For gaming mice that are even more budget-friendly, you can still grab the Logitech G305 gaming mouse for as low as $26.99 at Amazon. Meanwhile, the also-premium Razer Basilisk V3 Pro wireless gaming mouse is available to buy for only $89.
