SAVE $75: The Dreame FP10 air purifier is on sale at Amazon for $424.99, down from the list price of $499.99. That's a 15% discount and the lowest we've seen at Amazon.
Opens in a new window Credit: Dreame Dreame FP10 air purifier $424.99 at AmazonIf you have pets at home, you understand the struggle of dealing with pet dander and fur. Many of us rely on air purifiers to keep indoor air as clean as possible, cutting down on odors and potential allergens. There's a new air purifier on the market that comes with excellent features for pet owners. Maybe best of all, it's already on sale.
As of May 4, the Dreame FP10 air purifier is on sale at Amazon for $424.99, marked down from the normal price of $499.99. That's a 15% discount that shaves $75 off the price. It's also the lowest we've seen at Amazon on this new Dreame model.
The design of the Dreame FP10 air purifier is unique in a few ways. For one, the built-in LED strip makes for excellent room lighting. But it also excels in performance when dealing with pets. Unlike most air purifiers that require us to manually clean outer filters from time to time, the Dreame has an automatic roller that prevents hair from building up on the rotating HEPA filter.
SEE ALSO: Amazon's newest Fire Stick just got its first price cut ever — and it's nearly 50% offMashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodard reviewed the Dreame FP10 air purifier in her home with cats and found its performance and overall look to be impressive, with the Furcatch roller being a major advantage over other models. Dreame also designed this model to be cat-friendly. The flat canvas top can support up to 33 pounds, and the bottom-heavy design means it won't topple over easily.
While it's sitting at a record low, upgrade your home with the Dreame FP10 air purifier. It's a new Mashable Choice Award winner for air purifiers, and it's perfect for homes with pets.
I’ll level with you: I'm not a Star Wars fan. (Cue collective gasps.) I couldn’t tell you the difference between a Sith and a Jedi, and my knowledge of the franchise basically begins and ends with Baby Yoda memes. But if there is one thing I do love, it’s finding a good deal.
Every year on Star Wars Day (aka “May the Fourth”), brands use the unofficial holiday as an excuse to drop new products, hand out gifts, and discount their inventory. So, while I won't be having a movie marathon today, I have spent the morning scouring the internet for the best sales.
Below is a running list of all the May the 4th deals, new releases, and freebies going on right now.
Celebrate Star Wars Day with LegoLego has always had some pretty cool Star Wars sets (and I say that as a non-fan), but this year, the brand's going all out with freebies (you'll get a free Razor Crest Mini if you spend $40+, or Darksaber if you spend $160+), new product drops (including the Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter which comes with a Mandalorian and Grogu Display set), quadruple the points, and exclusive rewards for Insiders.
Insiders also get access to the following deals:
Brick-Built Star Wars Logo — $47.99 $59.99 (save $12)
C-3PO — $111.99 $139.99 (save $28)
The Mandalorian Helmet — $55.99 $69.99 (save $13.91)
Amazon usually celebrates May 4th by releasing a new Star Wars-themed Echo Dot stand. This year, the company released two: The Mandalorian Helmet and Grogu. Both bundles are available for $79.96 and $71.98, respectively.

They're huge, so if you have a big dog and you're a Star Wars fan, this might be a good collectible (if they don't destroy it, that is). If you have smaller pups, like I do, you may want to check out Bark's other Star Wars toys:

Opens in a new window Credit: Ruggable The Rebellion Rug $549 at RuggableShinyHunters have struck once again. This time, the hacker group says it has breached systems belonging to one of the biggest educational tech companies.
Edtech giant Instructure, the company behind the popular Learning Management System (LMS) Canvas, announced that it was experiencing a service disruption on April 30.
The next day, on May 1, the company confirmed that it experienced a "cybersecurity incident perpetrated by a criminal threat actor."
Instructure largely addressed the issues by May 2 and shared that it would continue to monitor its platforms and investigate how the cyberattack occurred. The company said it patched its security system, revoked certain credentials and access tokens, and rotated API keys "out of an abundance of caution."
ShinyHunters, the now-infamous hacking collective known for social engineering and ransomware, claimed responsibility and uploaded 3.65 terabytes of related stolen data to its website on May 3, as reported by SecurityWeek.
What data was stolen?Instructure says that passwords and other private credentials were not stolen in the breach.
However, the affected data reportedly includes users' names, email addresses, student IDs, and private messages exchanged on the platform.
According to ShinyHunters, the stolen data is associated with 275 million users at nearly 9,000 schools around the world. These users include students, teachers, and staff.
ShinyHunters also claimed that billions of private messages between users, including students and teachers, were stolen as well, according to Bleeping Computer. The group says Instructure's Salesforce instance was also breached, and related data was stolen.
ShinyHunters have been involved with several high-profile data breaches recently. Companies ranging from the bakery chain Panera Bread to the security firm ADT have all experienced data breaches tied to the group. Anime streaming service Crunchyroll and the dating app Bumble have been breached by ShinyHunters as well.
Last month, ShinyHunters were also behind the breach into Rockstar Games, the video game developer behind the GTA series, including the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI.
All of these ShinyHunters data breaches have occurred since the beginning of the year.

A federal judge has preliminarily approved a $7.85 million settlement resolving claims that Sony Interactive Entertainment illegally squeezed out competition in the digital PlayStation games market — and millions of affected players should soon be able to collect without doing anything.
The lawsuit, filed in 2021, alleged that Sony cut off third-party retailers from selling game-specific download vouchers starting April 1, 2019, effectively funneling consumers to the PlayStation Store and driving up prices in violation of federal antitrust law. Sony has denied any wrongdoing.
SEE ALSO: The PlayStation 6 could ditch the built-in disc driveU.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín granted preliminary approval to the deal on April 8, after previously rejecting two earlier versions of the settlement — first over concerns about service awards for plaintiffs who were no longer part of the class, and again over questions about whether PlayStation Store credits amounted to coupons under the law.
The settlement covers U.S. consumers who bought eligible PlayStation games through the PlayStation Store for which a retail voucher existed before April 1, 2019, and for which prices increased by at least 50 cents over a set period. More than 4.4 million people are covered under the deal.
How to collectFor most class members, getting paid requires no action at all. Those with active PlayStation Network accounts will automatically receive credits redeemable in the PlayStation Store. Players with deactivated accounts, however, must contact the settlement administrator to request a paper check — and that deadline is Aug. 27, 2026.
Anyone who wants to opt out of the settlement and preserve their right to sue separately must submit an exclusion request by July 2, 2026.
The court is scheduled to hold a final approval hearing on Oct. 15, 2026. Compensation won't be distributed until after that approval is granted and any appeals are resolved. Plaintiffs' attorneys are seeking up to one-third of the settlement fund in fees.
More information on eligible games and claim details can be found at PSNDigitalGamesSettlement.com.
SAVE $300: The Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra portable power station is on sale at Amazon for $999, down from the standard price of $1,299. That's a 33% discount and the lowest price we've spotted at Amazon.
Opens in a new window Credit: Jackery Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra portable power station $999 at AmazonSummer fun is on the horizon. If you're ready to spend the weekend at the campground or power up the projector for a backyard movie night, you might want to consider the convenience of a portable power station. You'll be able to keep everything powered up while living the good life off-grid. If that's appealing, check out this deal at Amazon.
As of May 4, the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra portable power station is $999 at Amazon, marked down from Jackery's list price of $1,299. That works out to a savings of $300 from a 33% discount. It's also the lowest price we've spotted at Amazon on this new Jackery model.
Batteries are not typically friends with water and dust. However, that's a contradiction to taking a portable power station on a camping adventure. Sure, we can check the weather, but summer storms tend to roll in quickly. Instead of worrying about a portable power station taking damage from an unexpected sprinkle or morning dew, head out with the new Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra.
SEE ALSO: The Anker Solix C2000 power station is half off at Amazon right now — save over $700Unlike almost all portable power stations, the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra carries an IP65 rating, which means it's both water-resistant and dustproof. Plus, it has protective flaps to cover the outlets. Both of these elements combined give you reassurance that the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra is truly up for adventure.
Not only will it be great for camping, but it's also ideal for using in the yard or the workshop, which could be both damp and dusty. Jackery designed this portable power station with a cooling chamber in the bottom, rather than using side vents for the fan. That eliminates one of the most common routes water and dust take to enter a portable power station.
Since this is a record-low price at Amazon, hop on today's $999 sale price of the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra. It's a rare model that's durable enough for every task.
Save 48%: As of May 4, the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD is on sale for $17.99 when you use the code SAVEHD. This marks a $17 price reduction off its $34.99 list price, but be aware — this code might not work for everyone.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick HD $17.99 at AmazonSometimes, inexplicably, new tech releases go on sale just weeks after their release. It may only be a small discount, but a deal is a deal.
Amazon, however, did something even more rare. Call it the power of Star Wars Day, pure luck, or Amazon simply having the funds to spare, but as of May 4, the retailer is offering a coupon code on its new Fire TV Stick HD that brings it down to just $17.99 from its list price of $34.99. That's a 48% savings — just don't forget to put in the code SAVEHD.
We do want to note that this coupon code might not work for everyone. While it worked for the majority of Mashable's deals team this morning, there was at least one editor who couldn't get the promised savings.
If it does work for you, you'll save on the streaming stick that Amazon just put up for preorder mid-April. Compared to the previous generation of the Fire TV Stick HD, this one has a 30 percent slimmer profile and no need for a wall adapter, thanks to the USB-C to USB-A cable that can be plugged in straight to your TV. Amazon also claims the device is 30 percent faster than the previous model, meaning navigating apps and shows should be an even smoother process.
SAVE $30: As of May 4, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is on sale at Amazon for only $29.99 with the on-page code MAX4KFTV. That's $30 off its list price and its best price ever — a savings of 50%.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max $29.99 at AmazonWhile pretty much all TVs are smart TVs these days, that doesn't always mean they're user-friendly or seamless for streaming. The built-in smart platforms on a lot of high-end brands can often be a bit clunky. That's where Amazon's Fire TV Sticks swoop in to save the day.
Not only are Fire Sticks easy to use, but they're also ultra-portable for travel and go on sale pretty regularly. In fact, as of May 4, the most advanced Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup is down to its best price ever if you use the on-page coupon code. Typically $59.99, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is just $29.99 with the code MAX4KFTV.
SEE ALSO: Rate your favorite audio brands for a chance to win a $250 Amazon gift cardWe've seen the 4K Max drop to $34.99 quite a few times (most recently during the Amazon Big Spring Sale) and even $32.99 once (for Black Friday in 2024), but $29.99 is the lowest to date. There's just one catch: not everyone will see the on-page coupon code. We're unsure what Amazon's rhyme or reason is for this, but only some members of Mashable's shopping team are able to redeem the code. If you're eligible, the code will appear underneath the Prime logo and pricing details on the product page. Be sure to hit "redeem" to cash in on the savings.
Here's what the listing page looks like with the coupon code. Credit: AmazonThe Fire TV Stick 4K Max packs the most storage of any Fire TV Stick at 16GB, which helps it to not get bogged down by lots of apps. It also features a 2.0 GHz quad-core processor to help with faster app starts, WiFi 6E, support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, Dolby Atmos audio, Ambient Experience, and an enhanced Alexa voice remote. You can even turn your TV into a work of art a la The Frame, or play video games by streaming through Amazon Luna or Xbox Game Pass.
Save 15%: As of May 4, a limited quantity of $50 DoorDash gift cards is available at Amazon for $42.50, saving you $7.50 total.
Opens in a new window Credit: DoorDash DoorDash gift card $42.50 at AmazonNo DoorDash discount codes in your app today? No problem.
Amazon has got you covered with a DoorDash gift card deal that brings the price of a $50 gift card down to $42.50. That saves you $7.50 total, or 15%. You'll want to act quickly, though — at the time of writing, the product page has a "deal selling fast" badge, and nine percent of the available deals have already been claimed.
This deal applies to just the e-gift card, which means you'll get almost instantaneous delivery, whether you're sending it to yourself or a friend. (Consider dinner today sorted). After purchase, a code will be sent to your phone or email, which you can then use for your DoorDash account. The balance is yours to use, whether you're ordering from a restaurant, grocery, or convenience store.
While it's not the biggest chunk of change out there, it's $7.50 that you would otherwise be spending on your orders. Maybe that helps you justify a long-distance delivery fee for a craving, or maybe it covers those sneaky service fees. In either case, if you're already going to order in, you might as well save some cash.
SAVE $54.45: Sign up to get Grubhub+ for six months at 99 cents per month instead of the normal $9.99 per month. That works out to a 90% discount on the service.

From taking advantage of the nice weather to wrapping up the school year and planning camping trips, there's not much time to make dinner. Instead of stressing, order in, thanks to this delivery deal.
As of May 4, Grubhub+ membership is on sale for 99 cents per month for six months, marked down from the normal price of $9.99 per month. Over those six months, the sale works out to be a savings of $54.45.
SEE ALSO: Rate your favorite audio brands for a chance to win a $250 Amazon gift cardIt's no secret that ordering dinner for delivery or groceries to your doorstep is convenient. However, these services typically come with steep fees associated with the convince, such as delivery fees and service fees. Signing up for Grubhub+ means you'll be in for no delivery fees on eligible restaurant orders, free delivery on eligible grocery delivery orders over $35, and lower service fees.
If you feel like picking up a restaurant order on your way home, Grubhub+ members get a 5% Grubhub credit back after pickup. Keep in mind, Amazon Prime members are already eligible to get Grubhub+ for free with a Prime membership.
Grubhub contains a massive catalog of restaurants, grocery stores, and drug stores in its network. It's easy to browse the selection with Grubhub's tabs, or you can search by proximity and delivery times. Keep in mind the 99 cents per month deal is only valid for the first six months, and it'll auto-renew at the $9.99 per month price unless you cancel beforehand.
If you tend to order grocery and dinner delivery often, this a great deal to jump on. Doing so will give you access to free delivery on eligible restaurant and grocery delivery orders. Getting something for free right now feels like a major win.
Samsung foldables just can't stop leaking before they're announced.
This time, it's the rumored follow-up to last year's Galaxy Z Flip 7. A report by Korean leaker Lanzuk included a few hints about what to expect from the device, which has so far been out of the spotlight a bit compared to the rumored Z Fold 8 and a new "Wide Fold" device.
According to this new leak, you can expect a Z Flip 8 that's a little bit wider than before, as well as one that has shed some weight, coming in at approximately 180 grams, compared to 188 grams a year ago.
SEE ALSO: Samsung warns memory shortage will be worse next yearOn top of that, the report hints at a new hinge mechanism, though it doesn't go into any detail about what it might be. Perhaps most excitingly is the indication that the Z Flip 8 will have a true crease-free display. Highly visible creases were a big problem for foldables as they became a relevant market category, but over the years, that's become less and less of an issue. If the Z Flip 8 can make further improvements on that, then that's great.
Samsung is widely expected to announce the Z Flip 8, the Z Fold 8, and the Wide Fold at an event this summer, most likely in July.
We think the Z Fold 8 will look pretty similar to last year's model overall, while the Wide Fold will be another book-style foldable that's, well, wider than the Fold 8. It's expected to have a similar size and shape to the also-unannounced iPhone Fold, expected to launch later this year.

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Max 2 $509.99 at AmazonGrabbing a new pair of over-ear headphones in this economy isn't for the faint of heart. Even on sale, the Apple AirPods Max 2 are pretty dang expensive. But this is their biggest discount to date, so it's worth calling out for you Apple fanatics out there.
As of May 4, the Apple AirPods Max 2 are down to $509.99 instead of $549 at Amazon. That's a savings of $39.01 or about 7% and their cheapest price since launching in March.
SEE ALSO: Rate your favorite audio brands for a chance to win a $250 Amazon gift cardThe AirPods Max 2 are the first proper upgrade to the fruit company's first (and only) set of over-the-ear headphones. It only took six years. The latest release is eerily similar to the original — they look the same, come with the same case, have the same color options, and have the same battery life and price. What's different, you ask? The internal hardware. The AirPods Max 2 now have Apple's H2 chip inside (the same as the AirPods Pro 3), which unlocks better active noise cancellation as well as several smart features. You'll now be able to toggle on/off adaptive audio, conversation awareness, live translation, voice isolation, personalized volume, loud sound reduction, and Siri interactions as you see fit.
If you already have the OG AirPods Max, you definitely should not spend $500+ on the new ones, as they're virtually identical aside from a few new smart features. But if you're an Apple fan shopping for over-the-ear headphones for the first time and you've been saving up, we highly recommend grabbing the new AirPod Max 2 while they're down to their best price ever. Minor upgrade or not, we still think they're pretty great.
Andy Serkis isn't done with Middle-earth just yet.
The upcoming prequel film The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum sees Serkis pulling double duty — more so than he already does in the dual part of Gollum/Sméagol. On top of reprising that iconic role, he's also stepping into the director's chair, making him the only person aside from Peter Jackson to helm a live-action Lord of the Rings movie.
SEE ALSO: Andy Serkis on 'Animal Farm,' George Orwell, and AI in HollywoodBefore The Hunt for Gollum's production gets underway in New Zealand, Serkis spoke with Mashable Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards about what viewers could expect from the film.
"The joy of [The Hunt for Gollum] is that it's entirely its own story, but it fits perfectly into the lore, the tone, the feel of the Middle-earth films that were created by Peter Jackson 25 years ago," Serkis said.
According to Serkis, the film "sits between The Hobbit trilogy and the Lord of the Rings." It will follow Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Aragorn's (Jamie Dornan, replacing Viggo Mortensen) search for Gollum in the lead-up to the War of the Ring. J.R.R. Tolkien wrote about this hunt in The Fellowship of the Ring and the trilogy's Appendices, and Jackson's films briefly mention it.
SEE ALSO: Everything we know about 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum'The Hunt for Gollum is the latest step in Warner Bros. Pictures' expansion of their Middle-earth titles. 2025 saw the release of anime film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. Then, on March 25, Warner Bros. announced The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past (working title), a Lord of the Rings sequel written by Philippa Boyens, Tolkien superfan Stephen Colbert, and his son Peter McGee.
The deluge of Lord of the Rings titles might raise alarm bells about the dilution of a beloved franchise. For Serkis' part, this isn't the case with The Hunt for Gollum.
"The story, and therefore how we see the story, is different and unique to this particular tale," Serkis said. "It's not just a nostalgia film. We're seeing plenty of those, and laying heavily into the nostalgia and the things that we loved about those movies of 25 and 30 years ago. [The Hunt for Gollum] adheres to that world, but it certainly has a freshness and a newness in terms of the actual story."
The newness also extends to the cast. The Hunt for Gollum features the return of several familiar faces: Serkis, McKellen, Elijah Wood, and Lee Pace reprise their roles from the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. However, the film also invites several newcomers into Middle-earth. Kate Winslet and Leo Woodall play Marigol and Halvard, two characters who aren't named in Tolkien's original novels or films, while Jamie Dornan takes over the role of Aragorn from Viggo Mortensen.
"We're calling him Strider in our movie. He is at a different point in his journey, so he is slightly different to the Aragorn that we see later on," Serkis explained. "It's a version of himself that's been out in the wilderness as a Dúnedain Ranger. I'll leave it at that for the moment, but Jamie is perfect for this part of the journey of the character."

Lego Star Wars Day (aka May 4th) is finally here, and Lego is dropping incredible new releases (including the Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter), exclusive rewards for members, free gifts, and much more to celebrate.
If you want the quick rundown before you start scrolling through pages of bricks, here's a summary of the best offers running between now and May 6:
Free gifts with purchase: It's pretty un-Lego-like to drop discounts across its entire catalog. Usually, the best way to get a deal is to buy whatever product comes with the best free gift. The good news for this year is that the company is stacking those free gifts on top of one another. If you buy the new Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter, you automatically get a free The Mandalorian and Grogu Display set. If your cart hits $160 in Star Wars merchandise, it will throw in a free The Darksaber build. You can also grab a free The Razor Crest Mini-Build if you spend $40 on select smaller sets.
Direct discounts: That said, some items are on sale, including the C-3PO, Brick-Built Star Wars Logo, and The Mandalorian Helmet.
New product drops: As of May 1, Lego Insiders get early access to the brand-new Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter. If you aren't an Insider, you'll have to wait for general access on May 4.
Quadruple the points: You can rack up 4x Insiders points on big-ticket items like the AT-ST Walker, Jabba's Sail Barge, and the TIE Interceptor. The brand is also offering 2x points on dozens of other sets.
Rewards: If you already have points saved up, you can redeem 1,800 of them for an exclusive The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter poster by Joe Hogan. You can also enter sweepstakes to win special items, like a signed N-1 Starfighter set or a Lego Star Wars Bundle and Lego e-Gift Card.

Love them or hate them, the Kardashians are cultural drivers, and a new book releasing tomorrow dissects why.
Dekonstructing the Kardashians: A New Media Manifesto is written by psychotherapist MJ Corey, who runs the Instagram account, Kardashian Kolloquium. When she discovered the Kardashians while in grad school, Corey was so struck by their content and found it uncanny. Her sister told her to read postmodern theory, and Corey deep-dived into self-study and started documenting it online. Now, she has nearly 50,000 followers, helps run the Kardashian Data Koalition, and has become a premier Kardashian intellectual.
SEE ALSO: What is OnlyFans?"Kardashian intellectual" may sound like an oxymoron, but as Dekonstructing the Kardashians demonstrates, it's important for us to examine pop culture. There must be reasons why something is popular, after all. "I don't psychoanalyze the Kardashians, but if anything, they might hold a mirror to the rest of us," Corey said in an interview with Mashable.
The Kardashians trace culture with their narratives, she said, and it actually began with sex work.
The infamous sex tapeCast your memory all the way back to 2007, when Kim Kardashian's sex tape with singer Ray J was leaked. Kim rose to fame, and Keeping Up With the Kardashians (KUWTK) premiered months later.
There's a current legal battle between Kardashian and Ray J, which may shed new light on why the tape was made and how it was released. But regardless, whereas some may have been embarrassed and shied away from the public eye after such an invasion of privacy, Kim did the opposite. She refused to be ashamed.
"Why did you make a sex tape?" Kim's sister, Kourtney, asked in the very first episode of KUWTK ahead of an upcoming talk show appearance.
"Because I was horny and I felt like it," Kim said.
A reason why people are angry at the Kardashians is that they made money from the tape instead of living in shame or disassociating from it, Corey said.
"People have a different feeling towards female icons that are tragic or humiliated than the ones that are like, 'No, I'm good, I'm gonna make money from it,'" Corey said. "It's another nuance that people have been forced to sit with when it comes to the Kardashians and their relationship to sex — that the tape didn't break them."
And the sex tape was far from the only time the Kardashians associated themselves with sex — and sex work — especially in the early years of their fame. In the first season of KUWTK alone, members of the family: played on a stripper pole, hired a porn performer to babysit the Jenner sisters, participated in a Girls Gone Wild photoshoot, and also shot photos for Playboy.
When we break down the story of the Kardashians intellectually, Corey said, we look at cultural appropriation of race and ethnicity. But in the beginning, they appropriated sex work, as well. Corey spoke with a sex worker who wanted to remain anonymous, who believed Kim is a sex worker, though Kim would never call it that. In Kim's time in the spotlight, she's stigmatized the profession while fully idealizing, glamorizing, and profiting from sex workers' aesthetics, Corey said.
When researching for this book, "it was impossible to ignore this middle-class woman's fascination with sex work," she said of Kim in the early days of KUWTK.
Kim Kardashian and OnlyFansKim K isn't on OnlyFans, but there is a connection between the two. As Corey writes in Dekonstructing the Kardashians:
"Sexual accessibility is, apparently, most alluring when there's a sense that no woman is profiting from it, which is probably at least one reason why the Kardashians…became more reviled the richer they got, and also why people would one day rag on the sex industry social media website OnlyFans, which came out in 2016 in the thick of Kardashian-driven influencer culture and offered a space for many sex workers to own the means of their production."
There's a larger discourse beyond the Kardashians around OnlyFans, its place in culture, and its influence on women and how they view and potentially commodify their bodies. "I've just noticed in the larger discourse, [shaming] of women who are entrepreneurial on their OnlyFans accounts. There's a similar shaming that people throw at the Kardashians sometimes for making money on their sexuality."
"And I think that it's threatening to see that women can be independent from men," Corey added.
The difference between Kim Kardashian and the typical OnlyFans model, however, is fame, money, and access. Kim K seemingly gets a pass to post whatever she wants; this is a complaint sex workers and other sex-adjacent Instagram users have told Mashable in recent years. While Kim is boosted in our algorithms, non-famous people are shadowbanned — deprioritized — if not banned entirely.
How the Kardashians won cultureThe influence of the Kar-Jenners is undeniable, and in her book, Corey follows the lineage between a variety of American icons — like the Disney brand and Marilyn Monroe — and what they have in common with the family.
Every icon she references in the book typically evokes anxiety about race, death, or sex. This is even true of Mickey Mouse, who has, for example, sparked conversations about how the Disney mascot is racially coded.
"The Kardashians, in a really high-scale way, and in a way that will ensure their legacy, evoke all of these anxieties that all the other icons that came before also have," Corey said. "It just tells us that there's something about us that craves, that is drawn to it, is agitated by it, and that's why they also are so popular, because they play these things out for us at such scale, so relentlessly."
Because there are so many Kar-Jenners, the machine never stops, Corey continued. The family has become figures of catharsis, or release. There are touchpoints, like the SKIMS pubic hair underwear release last fall, that allow us to ask: How do we feel about that?
We're really trying to figure out what kind of society we want to live in, Corey said, and the Kardashians offer us opportunities to chew on and try to sort it out. Everything they do, at this point, conjures up some discourse — so much so that Corey already wants to write another book.
When The Audacity star Sarah Goldberg first met with series creator Jonathan Glatzer, he summed up the show in an unexpected fashion: The real-life tech titans whom The Audacity skewers are so focused on creating immortality that they can't face the fact that everyone — including them — has, at some point in their lives, pooped their pants.
SEE ALSO: 'The Audacity' tears Silicon Valley a new one: ReviewThat juxtaposition — a "denial of our base humanity," as Goldberg described it in a Zoom call with Mashable — attracted her to The Audacity's warped take on Silicon Valley.
In The Audacity's ensemble of tech founders, Goldberg's Dr. JoAnne Felder is the odd person out. She's a therapist to the Valley's "billionaire man-children," a renter in a sea of obscenely wealthy homeowners who don't care if their Napa house burns down, because they have several other homes to run back to.
Due to her outsider status, you might think JoAnne would serve as The Audacity's voice of reason. But by the end of the show's first episode, it's clear she's willing to bend the rules for personal gain just as much as her clients. One of them, Hypergnosis CEO Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen), learns she uses confidential client information to conduct insider trading.
"In this completely morally bankrupt world that JoAnne finds herself in, she feels like her tiny little transgressions are harmless, or even justified," Goldberg said.
Sarah Goldberg and Billy Magnussen in "The Audacity." Credit: Ed Araquel / AMCComing into The Audacity, Goldberg wanted a "big departure" from her Emmy–nominated role as Barry's struggling actor Sally Reed. When she first read for Sally, she felt she knew that character right away. For JoAnne, Goldberg was more drawn to her rhythm, an element that usually pulls her towards roles.
In her professional life, JoAnne's rhythm is slow and intentional. Goldberg describes her using silence "as a tool," wielding it to create space so her clients can open up... and give her valuable information information in the process.
"I didn't feel huge pressure to do major research and become this really qualified therapist, because that ship has sailed for JoAnne," Goldberg laughed. "It's sunk!"
Rhythm-wise, JoAnne's personal life is another story. As she weathers blackmail from Duncan, the possibility of losing her home, and her thorny relationship with son Orson (Everett Blunck), she grows more erratic. She drives off the road, snaps at every inconvenience (many self-inflicted), and browses the web for guns during session with clients. She's a picture of volatility, her blunt bob swaying with each panicked snap.
SEE ALSO: 'The Audacity' throws shade at Apple without ever saying its name"It's a real cheat, but honestly, the hair really helped me. I found myself gesticulating a lot, and there's this staccato quality to her that was born out of the hair," Goldberg said. "[Key Hair Stylist] Sanna [Seppanen] told me, 'I'm gonna give you hair so great, you don't have to act.' She was not wrong."
While JoAnne differs wildly from Sally Reed, Barry fans may catch glimpses of her in JoAnne's increasingly nervous, occasionally explosive interactions with others. Like with Sally's decline, JoAnne is also a woman fraying at the edges.
"I love a frayer. I'm attracted to fraying people," Goldberg said.
She's also attracted to the dichotomy between The Audacity's characters' external and internal lives.
"So many people in this world are similar to Barry in some ways," she said. "They're living two lives, one with a very thick veneer to perform who they need to be in their business or job."
Goldberg continued: "I'm always interested in that duality. I'm interested in how we do it day to day. Why, when someone calls you, does your voice go high? Why do you speak one way when you're ordering your coffee, and then when you're in the doctor's office, it's different? I'm always fascinated by our external behaviors and what's going on underneath."
Sarah Goldberg in "The Audacity." Credit: David Moir / AMCGoldberg is a self-described "technophobe." She has no apps and no social media, and she wasn't incredibly familiar with Silicon Valley prior to filming The Audacity. However, even before working on the show, she had been reading up on the rise of AI, especially how it pertains to the entertainment industry.
"I'm hoping that this doomsday feeling that was setting in is overblown. I don't know that it is," she said. "My hope I always hold on to is that television and film didn't kill theater, and I think that we're always going to crave a kind of connection and nuance that's not going to be available through AI."
The Audacity tackles AI through a storyline that JoAnne hasn't figured into much yet, one where Martin Phister (Simon Helberg) is essentially raising and nurturing an AI child. As the show goes on, he sees potential for it as a therapeutic tool that can do good, like when it listens to Deputy Under Secretary of Veterans' Affairs Tom Ruffage (Rob Corddry) about his wartime experiences.
"The AI aspect of the show is being developed with such purity and passion and focus. Seeing what happens if it falls into the wrong hands is where it all gets so frustrating," said Goldberg.
That frustration carries over to real life for Goldberg as well.
"I feel very resistant to it," she said. "My instincts as an animal are like, 'Where are we heading?' and it makes me quite uncomfortable. At the same time, I'm trying to keep a little bit of realism. We can't avoid the march of change, right? These things are happening, so how do we move forward productively?"
That's the question Glatzer, Goldberg, and The Audacity keep coming back to. What is the road map forward for humankind as it keeps dehumanizing itself? JoAnne, with her proximity to the reality-warping world of Silicon Valley, proves a perfect, if troubling case study.
Goldberg believes that JoAnne was once an idealist hoping to help her clients, but upon moving to Silicon Valley, she grew more "jaded and corrupted." Still, even in her early days as a therapist, she wasn't totally incorruptible.
"There was something in her that drew her to this world," Goldberg noted.
JoAnne's descent into corruption highlights Glatzer and The Audacity's central thesis about the future of humanity.
"What does it take to lose your humanity, and can you get it back?" asked Goldberg.
"There was an easier version of this show where [Glatzer] steps back, points the finger, and goes, 'Here's this small group of sociopaths who are making so much money doing terrible things,'" Goldberg said. "Actually, he chose the harder task of asking bigger questions about our moral compass as a species. What's innate in all of us? What creates this bad decision-making, and once you develop the tech that commodifies it, where does it go? He really gets down to the fact that these people didn't invent human behavior. They're exploiting and commodifying it, but the seeds are in all of us to, say, invade each other's privacy. He holds a mirror up to that in a way that I think is really brave."
New episodes of The Audacity are available to stream Sundays on AMC+, and air at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
Everyone knows children are capable of savagery at the best of times, but Jack Thorne's Lord of the Flies — adapted from William Golding's famous 1954 novel — really ups the stakes.
The four-episode BBC miniseries, now streaming on Netflix, follows a group of British schoolchildren stranded on an island after a plane crash. Although they're semi-organised at first, the relationship between elected chief Ralph (Winston Sawyers) and lead hunter Jack (Lox Pratt) eventually breaks down, with things quickly escalating into violence.
But what happens at the end of the miniseries, what does it all mean, and how does it compare to the end of the novel? Let's unpack.
SEE ALSO: The 20 best Netflix TV shows of 2025 How does the Lord of the Flies show end? Lox Pratt as Jack in "Lord of the Flies." Credit: BBC / Eleven / J RedzaIn the final episode of Lord of the Flies, Ralph is outnumbered and in danger. Following the deaths of his allies Simon (Ike Talbut) and Piggy (David McKenna), the former chief spends the last part of episode 4 on the run from Jack and his tribe, who appear determined to hunt him to the death.
When Ralph hides out in the forest, the boys set a fire to try and smoke him out. Just as he's ready to give up, he encounters two actual adults who have landed on the beach in their small boat. They've seen the smoke and come to help.
One of the adults (Tom Goodman-Hill), not realising that Ralph was on the verge of being murdered, chastises him for not knowing how many boys there are on the island.
"I would have thought you could put on a better show than that," he barks, in peak cold British fashion.
"It was like that at first," Ralph responds. "Before things... we were together then."
"Let's get you boys out to the boat," says the man, leading Ralph away. In the background, the other kids put down their spears and slowly follow.
How does William Golding's book end? Winston Sawyers as Ralph in "Lord of the Flies." Credit: BBC / Eleven / J RedzaThe show is fairly faithful to the book. The novel also ends with the boys being rescued as Ralph is hunted, and there's a similar scene in which a naval officer chastises Ralph because he expects more from a group of British boys.
The book, like the TV show, ends with us knowing that the surviving boys are safe. What we don't know is what the consequences of their actions on the island will be, or what will happen to them when they get back home.
What does the ending of Lord of the Flies mean? Lox Pratt as Jack in "Lord of the Flies." Credit: BBC / Eleven / J RedzaThe reason we don't see what's next for the boys after they leave the island is, presumably, because it's not the main point of the story. Like the novel, Thorne's miniseries is really about how quickly society can break down when you remove its basic structures.
As Ralph says to the naval office at the end, "It was like that at first." But if Ralph and Piggy are representative of order, Jack's allure of chaos and savagery quickly proves too strong for the others to resist.
The naval office's reference to "British boys" and what he expects of them shows that he thinks Western society, in particular, is in some way too enlightened to devolve into violence. Lord of the Flies is a clear rejection of that idea.
Lord of the Flies is streaming now on Netflix and BBC iPlayer.
Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.
Released in August 2025, Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.
Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move on to the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.
How to play PipsIf you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity with how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.
SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for May 4, 2026The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible — and common — for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.
Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:
Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.
Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.
Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.
Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.
Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.
If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.
