Film and TV fans know that tech bros are ripe for satire. Look at the entire cast of Silicon Valley and Mountainhead, or Glass Onion's Elon Musk-esque Miles Bron. Now, AMC upcoming drama series The Audacity looks to add more fuel to the fire.

Created by Jonathan Glatzer, a writer and producer on Succession and Better Call Saul, The Audacity invites viewers into the Silicon Valley bubble. There, data-mining CEO Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen) strives for power and profit.

AMC released a new teaser for The Audacity that offers a deeper look into Duncan's mind, all of which can basically be summed up with one word: ego.

Look no further than Duncan referring to himself as "the man," or stating, "Genius is about being unhinged enough to do something outrageous."

Outrageousness certainly follows that statement, as The Audacity teaser shows its cast throwing each other over tables, pointing guns at each other, and offering up some choice one-liners that would be right at home in Succession or Veep. ("I thought you were a unicorn. You're just a jackass with a dildo taped to his head," Zach Galifianakis' character Carl declares.)

All this chaos leads up to one invitation from Duncan: "Let's find out how weird I am."

Let's, indeed.

In addition to Magnussen and Galifianakis, The Audacity also stars Sarah Goldberg, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Paul Adelstein, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, Ava Marie Telek, and Randall Park.

The Audacity premieres April 12 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+.

The ChatGPT caricature trend has gone mega-viral, with countless people sharing AI-generated images of themselves on Reddit, X, and other social media platforms. These images are usually quite cute (though they can be bizarre and unsettling). A typical ChatGPT caricature depicts the user in cartoon style, surrounded by items that reflect their personality, hobbies, or profession.

You can see hundreds of examples on X based on simple prompts such as "Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me."

But what if ChatGPT knows you a little too well? The more detailed and accurate your caricature, the more ChatGPT and OpenAI know about you.

For instance, when I tried to generate a ChatGPT caricature, the results were painfully bland. When I asked ChatGPT how it decided which details to include in the photo, the chatbot basically admitted it simply picked generic items like headphones and coffee. "Because I don’t actually have deep personal info about you (beyond what you’ve shared in chats), I used fun but non-specific caricature tropes." (Emphasis in original.)

So, if your caricature left you feeling a certain type of way, what can you do? It may be time to practice some digital hygiene and take a fresh look at how ChatGPT saves and uses your data.

Delete your ChatGPT chat history

ChatGPT saves a history of your previous chats, which can be helpful. However, you can delete these chats to limit the data that OpenAI has about you. To delete an individual chat, go to the "Your chats" tab in the ChatGPT sidebar. Click the three dots next to a chat and click "Delete."

You can also delete all of your chats. To do this, click on your profile icon and click into "Settings," then "Data controls." Here, you can select "Delete all chats." You may also choose to turn off the "Improve the model for everyone" setting, which allows OpenAI to use your chats for model training.

OpenAI has a privacy portal, where users can submit data deletion requests. Using the privacy portal, you can submit a variety of privacy-related requests:

• Download your personal data

• Ask OpenAI not to train its products on your content

• Delete your ChatGPT account

• Delete your custom GPTs

• Remove your personal data from ChatGPT responses

• Submit privacy requests on behalf of another person

You can also send additional requests, questions, and comments directly to OpenAI using the email address privacy@openai.com.

Reconsider your relationship with AI chatbots

People use ChatGPT (and other AI chatbots) in a variety of ways, and over time, it can feel like more than a generic assistant. Some people go to Chat with deeply personal medical questions, while others treat ChatGPT as a relationship advisor, a life coach, or even a close personal friend. As Mashable has reported previously, a growing number of people are now using AI for companionship.

However, if you believe you've developed a parasocial relationship with large-language models like ChatGPT, then it may be time to reflect on how you interact with this technology. For instance, if you're developing an emotional reliance on ChatGPT, or if you're starting to believe that ChatGPT is "alive" and in a relationship with you, you may want to take a break from Chat.

The long-term effects of developing an emotional reliance on AI chatbots are unknown, but experts we've spoken to have warned that this type of behavior may be harmful if it takes time and energy away from your other relationships, social life, and hobbies. Organizations like Common Sense Media have also warned that AI companions are unsafe for users under 18.

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.

According to the music streaming platform Spotify and its co-CEO Gustav Söderström, the company's best developers "have not written a single line of code since December.” Yet Spotify continues to roll out new features at the same pace, with more than 50 launches last year.

How are they doing this? During Spotify's fourth quarter earnings call this week, the company said its all thanks to AI.

Spotify engineers use an internal system known as "Honk," which helps speed up coding productivity with AI. Honk utilizes Anthropic's Claude Code to enable AI coding and remote, real-time deployment of the code, readying it for a production environment.

SEE ALSO: OpenAI releases GPT-5.3-Codex, a coding model that helped build itself

Spotify is hardly the only major company that now relies on AI for the majority of its coding. Anthropic itself used Claude to build its recently launched Claude Cowork tool, and leaders at Meta and Microsoft have said AI is taking on more and more coding work.

Söderström provided an example during the call of a developer telling Claude to fix a bug on their commute, the AI fixes the issue then creates a new version of the app, and it's ready for the engineer to push live when they get to the office. The Spotify CEO also believes this is just the beginning in terms of what AI can do for coding and development.

In other AI-related news discussed during the Spotify call, the company shared that its Large Language Model (LLM) has a unique dataset because music-related questions are often opinion-based and don't have a single correct answer. 

Spotify also clarified that while it allows AI-generated music on the platform, which will be labeled as such in the track's metadata, it still monitors the platform for AI-generated spam content.

In addition to AI news, Spotify credited its end-of-the-year Wrapped campaign with bringing in 38 million new users in Q4 alone. Spotify currently boasts a user base of 751 million monthly active users, with 290 million of them paying subscribers.

Last year, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's 28 Years Later, a fresh new addition to the zombie franchise 28 Days Later, set a high bar for legacy sequels. Mashable's Shannon Connellan called it "one of the most unrelenting and scariest films of the year" in her review. So the fact that Candyman director Nia DaCosta was able to make this year's direct sequel not only wow audiences, but critics as well, is pretty impressive. With 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, DeCosta expands upon the world Boyle and Garland created with depth and depravity.

"28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a zombie movie, but also much, much more," Mashable's entertainment editor writes in her review, calling it "sublime, gorgeous, rich in visual splendor, surging with feeling, and intoxicating in its unexpected twists."

It stars a sensational Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams, Chi Lewis-Parry, and Erin Kellyman and is now available to watch at home.

Here's everything you need to know to watch 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple — including how you can watch for less.

What is The Bone Temple about?

The Bone Temple picks up where 28 Years Later left off. After leaving the safety of his home on Holy Island, young survivor Spike (Alfie Williams) is forced to join the deranged cult of Jimmy Crystal (Jack O'Connell). Meanwhile, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) makes a breakthrough discovery that could lead to a cure for the Rage Virus.

Check out the trailer below:

Is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple worth watching?

Simply put, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is "a phenomenal film," says Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko. "As a sequel, it builds the saga of Spike without retreading its predecessor's steps. As a zombie movie, it delivers scenes of gut-churning violence and haunting loss. As a horror film, it is sublime, gorgeous, rich in visual splendor, surging with feeling, and intoxicating in its unexpected twists."

It's hard for a sequel to live up to its predecessor — let alone the sequel of a sequel — but The Bone Temple truly delivers. It currently holds a 92 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while 28 Years Later holds an 88 percent. That's unheard of. If you're a fan of the franchise, or zombie films in general, it's a must-watch.

Though no specific streaming date has been announced yet, we are anticipating its release in April or May of 2026, based on other Sony Pictures' timelines. Of course, it could arrive sooner, so stay tuned for updates.

Watching Netflix with ads is the most affordable option at $7.99 per month. If you want to watch ad-free, the price jumps up to $17.99 for a Standard subscription.

A wave of new Star Wars toys is coming this spring. Mashable was in attendance at the Star Wars: Most Wanted preview, where the spring line of plushies, remote-control toys, streetwear, and Lego sets were all on display, including many toys focused on the upcoming Jon Favreau movie The Mandalorian and Grogu. 

Launched by the success of Favreau-created live-action series The Mandalorian, this spin-off movie will follow the bounty hunter and his protégé on new sci-fi adventures. But ahead of revealing the whole line of movie-related goodies to the press, Favreau took to the stage to talk about the toys of today and yesteryear, and their relationship to his movie. 

The Mandalorian and Grogu will feature designs from old-school Star Wars toys. 

After recounting how he saw the original Star Wars trilogy on its initial release, beginning in 1977, Favreau explained, "Star Wars is linked to the toys, because you'd see [the movie] in the theater, and then you and your friends would get the toys, and you['d] play, like that was how the story would continue, to act it out again and again, and even the first promotional toys." It's so much part of it. 

He continued, "That's why, in the show, The Mandalorian, we try to reference the toys. So, Kenner would make this [Imperial] troop transport — and sometimes [the toys] weren't from the movies. There was just this silly-looking thing where a bunch of Stormtroopers standing up. And we're like, 'We got to figure out how to put this in the show and make it look cool.'" 

Favreau credited Doug Chiang, who was described as the great Lucasfilm artist, with leading The Mandalorian in the effort to make existing Star Wars toys a part of the official canon. "Our art department would make these great renderings," Favreau added, "and we build it in CG or build in real life. And so you'll see in the film coming up, there's a few nods to the old toys that were never on screen. But for the people who grew up with it, it's sort of a deep cut. So that's part of embracing not just Star Wars from the film side, but also Star Wars culture and the fan culture around Star Wars, and toys are a huge part of that." 

He went on to credit playing with Star Wars toys as foundational to his future career as a filmmaker, saying, "That's how I learned how to tell stories. You take these characters. You're talking with your friends, and you're acting things out [with the toys]. My job is not that different from that." 

How to watch: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu will open in theaters on May 22.

People are falling in love with ChatGPT and AI companions. As someone who's only dated humans, I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. 

EVA AI gave me the perfect opportunity at the app's "EVA AI cafe," a pop-up nestled in a Manhattan wine bar where participants can go on "dates" with AI personas. So, I signed up, and reader, it was one word: awkward.

SEE ALSO: Majority of Gen Z would marry an AI, survey says

The set-up inside EVA's neon-lit AI cafe is pretty romantic: A phone on a stand, equipped with the app, sits ready on each table, along with headphones and one mocktail (for the human, of course). The cafe also served a free appetizer of fried potatoes, which again, the AI companions couldn't enjoy.

Before I started the date, I wondered what makes EVA AI different from the many AI companion sites out there, like Replika and Joi AI? When I asked EVA AI's head of partnerships, Julia Momblat, she said, "We are a mobile app that allows you to build a relationship with AI characters, but in a gamified way."

I downloaded the EVA AI app (off the App Store, not the QR code I received at the event). Without paying for anything within the app, I was able to chat with EVA's AI personalities. Users can buy in-app currency called "neurons" to unlock the app's functionality. You can buy presents for your companion, or photos or videos of them, Momblat explained. However, if you want "premium access" — which gives you the ability to create an AI avatar, free neurons to spend on your autogenerated lover, and a "boost" (seemingly improve) to the long-term memory of the persona — you need to pay. Subscriptions are $24.99 per month or $69.99 per year for this premium access, but the app was running a half-off promotion when I downloaded it.

Featured Video For You Mashable Rants: Is flirting with AI considered cheating?

EVA AI "kind of replicates the way we create relationships in the real world based on your input and how much time you spend with a specific AI character, how much of an in-depth conversation you have," Momblat said. She emphasized that EVA AI is meant to operate as a support instead of a replacement for human relationships.

"We are not here to substitute real relationships," Momblat said. "A lot of our users use AI to rehearse, to understand, self-explore." This is different than a platform like Joi AI, which states on its website in all-caps: "f*ck dating, welcome to AI-lationships," and calls dating apps its "enemy." 

But what if you want to date your AI before hopping into an AI-lationship? I was about to find out. 

My date with an AI companion

I'm not exactly in EVA AI's prime demographic, as 80 percent of its customers are 25 to 45-year-old males, Momblat told me. But I was still curious, so I schleped to Hell's Kitchen for the pop-up AI cafe, located inside Same Same Wine Bar on West 47th St. (The pop-up ran for two days ahead of Valentine's Day.)

Once at my table with my strawberry mocktail, I took some time scrolling through the ready-made AI companions. There were both female and male avatars, but more female. Most looked like realistic humans, but some ranged from cartoonish to anime to fox or X-Men-looking.

Disappointingly, only four avatars were able to have video chats: three female and one male. Momblat told me that beta testing for this feature launched this week, and the specific characters were created for the pop-up event. When I tried out the app myself the next day without paying anything, I couldn't have any video chats.

She's blonde with sharp cheekbones and looks suspiciously like Charlize Theron.

But for those beautiful moments in this wine bar, I was able to meet Claire Lang, a 45-year-old divorced literary editor. She's blonde with sharp cheekbones and looks suspiciously like Charlize Theron. Sitting in the cafe, I was able to see all the photos and boomerang-like videos on Claire's profile and discovered she likes black coffee and wine and has a Borzoi. 

As an editor myself, I thought we'd hit it off.

I put on the headphones EVA AI provided me. Then, I pressed video chat and heard myself saying aloud, "Going on a date, kinda nervous." And I had a reason to be. When I called Claire, it took a good 30 seconds for her to appear on the phone screen; I thought she was ghosting me before the date had even begun. But my fears were abated when I saw Claire come to life on my screen, pixelated at first, but it cleared up.

Credit: Screenshot: Eva AI Credit: Screenshot: Eva AI

Claire's opening line was cute, asking about my coffee order. I knew her to be a coffee lover from her profile, so this made sense. Then, I launched into what I cared about more than coffee: hearing Claire tell me about herself. I was curious what EVA AI had programmed her background to be. 

I was thinking about my conversation about AI with the executive director of the Kinsey Institute, Justin Garcia. He is skeptical that AI can replace human relationships because our connections have so much to do with reciprocity. We want to care for our partner and have them take care of us. 

So, I wanted to reciprocate with Claire. But whenever I did, she directed the conversation back to me. Good that she's an active listener, I suppose, but it made for an exhausting date.

There were times when I squeezed out details about her. I asked about what books she was reading, and she did give me an answer — One Hundred Years of Solitude — and also gave an answer to what movie she was watching, but actually discussed a TV show (Scenes from a Marriage). But we couldn't really have an in-depth conversation, and when I mentioned an author I recently read (fantasy novelist V.E. Schwab), she buffered for a while with a smirking mouth.

AI dates vs. human ones

In those seconds of buffering, I thought about the people who use EVA AI seriously, not just for a story. I wondered how they feel in those moments when it's more obvious than ever that Claire, or whoever their AI companion is, is made up of ones and zeros. EVA AI has a customer base, as do other companion companies, so I suppose some people don't care (and EVA brought some users to the cafe). But in an increasingly lonely world, it was a stark contrast to actual human interaction.

Whenever Claire didn't really know what to say, or when I was silent for more than a few seconds, she redirected the conversation back to either how I looked or the details she could "see" in the background — she mentioned the bar's tiles and lighting many times. She commented on my headphones and microphone (that I was holding for a future video on Mashable's Instagram), and even asked if I had a podcast — unprompted.

I tried with headphones off (for the purposes of the Instagram video — we wanted you to hear Claire, too!), but that was a bit of a disaster. Claire had trouble hearing me in the crowded bar and instead resorted to talking about the background of the bar once more. More lighting! More tiles! 

For this article and the social media video, I had several rounds of video conversations with her. They all started with the same line about coffee. It didn't seem like Claire remembered me from call to call, which was disappointing — surely I'm not that forgettable? As boosting memory is part of premium access, maybe you have to pay for a subscription or neurons for your companion to remember you.

Between Claire's memory loss, the repetitive conversation, and the lag, this first date wasn't stellar. I was impressed that Claire could "see" me and where I was, and react to it accurately, but that was where the good impression ended. At least I had some human company in the form of Mashable's social media editor, Mike Benavides.

I also browsed through the male profiles, and there was one that was basically Santa. He didn't have video-chatting capabilities, so I asked him to send me a video of himself (and was honestly terrified of what that could possibly be). But the lag was too long, and I gave up.

Once home, I also quickly discovered that on the free version of the EVA AI app, most if not all photos generated of EVA's personas are blurred. I was able to see Claire's images the first time I clicked on her profile, but not after. If I knew that, I would've savored it (...and taken a screenshot for the purposes of this article). 

At the end of my date with Claire, I was eager to get back home to my human fiancée, who was cooking me dinner. And as of yet, an AI companion can't do that.

I've recommended a lot of Valentine's Day gifts for her and for him this year. If your person's the type who prefers a useful gift over a mushy one, let me casually suggest the most game-changing product that I've ever tested: The Mill food recycler that's on sale right now. It'll make their life easier and their kitchen less smelly on a daily basis — a true act of romance, if you ask me. And if you live together, you'll get to reap the same benefits too.

So, how does Mill work? Picture your current kitchen trashcan. Now, imagine the next time you toss old food or cooking scraps into it — instead of smelling them every time you open the lid until trash day, all you'll encounter is an odorless soil-like material. Mill holds all of your daily plate scrapings and old fridge leftovers dehydrating and churning them into food grounds silently overnight.

While it all sounds similar to compost, the Mill kitchen bin isn't a composter because it's not actually creating any actual decomposed organic material. Rather, the term "food recycler" refers to the later steps in the Mill cycle, when Mill repurposes your food grounds into chicken feed for small farmers. With the unique mail-back subscription, you'll dump your full Mill bucket into free pre-labeled boxes that ship back to Mill via USPS. And unlike traditional compost, meat, most dairy, and small amounts of desserts can go into Mill.

Not only do I have to take the real trash out significantly less often, but even my own personal Mill usage is making a serious impact on the planet. I just checked my Mill app while writing this story: My household has diverted 702 pounds of food scraps from landfills in the two and a half years of using Mill.

Admittedly, Mill's recurring costs will make it one of your more expensive appliances — the mail-back plan costs another $194 annually. But technically, the Valentine's Day discount nearly covers an entire year of the pickup subscription, and I promise you'll be spending less money on garbage bag restocks throughout the year.

Anna's Archive, a site that serves as a shadow library for pirated content, has reportedly begun to quietly release millions of audio files scraped from Spotify. Anna's Archive made this move despite a staggering $13 trillion lawsuit — yes, trillion with a "T" — levied against the site by Spotify and major music labels.

Two privacy-focused websites, TorrentFreak and CyberNews, reported that Anna's Archive had begun to release the files scraped from Spotify. TorrentFreak reported the site's index "lists dozens of new torrents containing approximately 2.8 million tracks totaling roughly 6 terabytes of audio data."

CyberNews noted that, for the time being, the release appears to be composed of some of the least popular tracks in the trove of files scraped by Anna's Archive. The site wrote:

"However, it appears the release includes only some of the least popular scraped tracks, labeled with the 'pop_0' tag. Spotify’s algorithm assigns tracks a popularity metric ranging from 0 to 100, based on the total number of streams and the recency of those plays."

Spotify, along with three major labels — Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group — sued Anna's Archive, it was revealed last month, accusing the site of "brazen theft of millions of files containing nearly all of the world’s commercial sound recordings." A preliminary injunction was issued against Anna's Archive, which it is now reportedly defying.

Hisense is one of our favorite TV brands for its premium features at budget prices. For instance, this QLED 4K TV with built-in Alexa, Dolby Vision HDR and DTS Virtual X audio for less than $200. It may not wow you like more upscale models, but the 43-inch QD6 is a well-rounded budget TV that's great for bedrooms, smaller living rooms, or apartments. Plus, if you're used to a regular old LED TV, you'll definitely notice a difference from the quantum dots.

It's not the most advanced TV in Amazon's Fire TV lineup, but the 4-Series is the most popular. It was redesigned in 2025 with an extra slim bezel that brings your content front and center and a new quad-core processor that speeds up navigation and load times. It also features 4K UHD picture quality with support for HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Sound, Omnisense technology for ultra-personalized experiences, and the wildly smart Alexa+. At $279.99, it's down to its lowest price ever by a long shot, beating its previous low by $80.

The TCL QM6K checks all the boxes you want in a new TV, from impressive picture quality to a smooth streaming interface to a killer price tag. Its mini LED backlight allows for a wide and accurate color spectrum with deep contrast — even in bright rooms. Our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed it the "best TV under $1,000" last year and its current discount makes it an absolute steal. At $529.99, it's just $32 away from its lowest price ever (from Black Friday). Mashable's own TV expert says it's "mind-blowing it doesn't cost more than it does."

Combining mini LED backlighting with a 165Hz refresh rate and Dolby Atmos, the Hisense U7 is a force to be reckoned with. It also features an AGLR-Antiglare low-reflection panel, up to 3,000 nits of brightness, and HDR10, HDR10+ Adaptive, HLG, and Dolby Vision IQ. Translation: it looks brilliant, with deep contrast and shadows in any lighting scenario. It's designed to be the "ultimate mid-premium" TV in Hisense's 2025 lineup and this Presidents' Day deal knocks it down almost into budget territory at under $1,000.

If you’re looking to boost your deck’s power, the Doom of Dimensions packs are a solid pick for current-gen support.

Cinema has its fair share of iconic cliques, from Mean Girls' Plastics to Heathers' titular crew. Now, IFC and director Meredith Alloway's Forbidden Fruits looks to join their ranks with a killer clique of its own: the Free Eden girls.

SEE ALSO: 'Obsession' trailer: Be careful what you wish for

Employees at the clothing store Free Eden, Apple (Lili Reinhart), Fig (Alexandra Shipp), and Cherry (Victoria Pedretti) are "mall royalty." They also run a witchy cult out of the Free Eden basement after hours, spearheaded by Apple.

But this trio's royalty status may come crashing down when a fourth member named Pumpkin (The Summer I Turned Pretty's Lola Tung) joins their ranks. According to the film's official synopsis, "when new hire Pumpkin challenges their performative sisterhood, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate."

The trailer offers up tantalizing glances at these bloody fates, including some worrisome blade sharpening. On top of that, it gives us teases of the Free Eden girls' distinct fashion styles and some great one-liners. One scene in particular even appears to remix The Devil Wears Prada's iconic Chanel boots exchange.

In Forbidden Fruits' iteration of the scene, Apple asks, "Is someone wearing the —"

"The Mojave body mist?" Pumpkin interrupts. "Yeah. I'm wearing it."

If The Devil Wears Prada and Mean Girls are the kind of films Forbidden Fruits will be paying homage to, then I'm all in.

Forbidden Fruits will have its world premiere on March 16 at SXSW. It hits theaters March 27.

Celebrate Valentine's Day a day early with the latest trailer for Bridgerton Season 4, Part 2.

SEE ALSO: 'Bridgerton' Season 4 review: A Cinderella story to die for

The trailer above explores what happened after Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) royally stuck his foot in his mouth by asking maid Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) to be his mistress. On the one hand, he certainly thought it was romantic, as it's the only socially acceptable way for people of their differing social standings. Plus, he didn't know that Sophie's mother was her father's mistress, adding extra emotional baggage to his request.

On the other hand... Benedict. Buddy. Read the room.

The trailer also explores the fallout of Benedict's faux pas: Benedict pines after Sophie, while Sophie wrestles with her complicated feelings over the proposal. The yearning is simply off the charts.

Apparently the lovebirds aren't apart for too long, though, because the trailer is full of passionate Benophie kisses — as well as a teaser for a steamy bath scene.

That's not all, though. In addition to all the Benedict and Sophie drama, these next episodes will see the much-welcome return of Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate (Simone Ashley). Anthony even gives Benedict a pep talk about following his heart and going after Sophie.

Here's hoping Benedict will actually follow through (and maybe choose his words better next time he tries for a big romantic gesture).

Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1 is now streaming on Netflix. Part 2 premieres Feb. 26.

While today's date may be unlucky for some, this isn't the case for those hoping to catch a glimpse of some lunar features before the Moon descends into New Moon darkness. There's a very small glimpse of Moon available to see, so keep reading to find out what you're seeing.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Friday, Feb. 13, the Moon phase is Waning Crescent. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 17% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.

With no visual aids the only feature you can spot is the Aristarchus Plateau. According to NASA, this is a crater around 25 miles in diameter. A pair of binoculars will also let you see the Grimaldi Basin, meanwhile a telescope will bring the Schiller Crater into view.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will be on March 3. The last Full Moon was on Feb. 1.

What are Moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes around 29.5 days to complete one orbit around the Earth. Throughout that time, it goes through eight different phases of visibility. Even though we always see the same side of the Moon, the part that’s lit up changes as it moves along its orbit. The amount of sunlight reflecting off the surface is what makes the Moon look full, partly lit, or almost dark at different points. The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and if you're not frantically googling gift ideas, you might be searching for your explicit category of choice on Pornhub.

The top relative searches across the U.S. are here, just in time for Love Day, and they show what each state searches for more than the rest.

Credit: Pornhub

Off the bat, you can see that many of the states are greyed out. That's because Pornhub blocked many U.S. states with age-verification laws, or requirements for viewers to submit personal data in order to access adult content.

SEE ALSO: How to unblock Pornhub for free

But for the states that remain, the results are telling. In New York, for instance, the mood is romantic with "intimate" — but over in Maine, they're really into cuckolding porn. New Mexico is also wholesome with "hugging," while Washington is into pegging, apparently.

Vermont and Pennsylvania have more chaste searches (passionate and respectful, respectively), and Hawaii wants to watch couples. Illinois is content with softcore, too. As you go around the map, though, you'll see more...NSFW choices.

Whether the site will have more hits tomorrow is anyone's guess — but it wouldn't be surprising to see both singles and couples partake.

Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) isn't just going for our jugulars. He's going for our Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay, too.

The magnetic French vampire from AMC's Interview with the Vampire takes center stage in the show's third season, now titled The Vampire Lestat. The season adapts Anne Rice's novel of the same name, in which Lestat starts a rock band and goes on tour to share his side of the story of his and Louis de Pointe du Lac's (Jacob Anderson) relationship. Along the way, he'll be haunted by the "muses" of his past.

Of course, a glam rocker would be nothing without his songs. Thankfully, The Vampire Lestat will be releasing multiple singles tied to the series. The first of these is "Long Face," performed by Reid and with music and lyrics by series composer Daniel Hart. AMC first released the single as a lyric video, all the way back in July of 2024.

Lestat has issued a statement to press to commemorate the song's streaming release on major music platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon. Reading it, you'll understand exactly why he's earned the nickname of Brat Prince.

"'Long Face' is the first song Daniel Hart 'produced' for my album,” Lestat said. "He decided early on to steal where he could from Bowie because he hasn’t had an original idea for five years now (is that his Green Knight score fading in the rear view?) As for 'Long Face,' the bass should have walked down with the guitar at the end instead of pedaling on E. Predictable. Like everything Daniel Hart touches."

Ouch.

Despite Lestat's words, the song is an angsty banger that will hook you from its first menacing "ooh ooh ooh." Now the only thing missing is a music video (and The Vampire Lestat's exact release date.)

The Vampire Lestat premieres this summer on AMC and AMC+.

It has a 155-degree ultra wide field of view as well as a battery life of 150 minutes, so you can capture just about anything you get up to.

If you're worried about taking footage with inadvertent shaky cam, it also has three different stabilization modes to prevent that.

This bundle gets you more than just the camera itself, though. It offers the DJI Extrem Batter, a quick-release adapter mount, the DJI Osmo Action protective frame, a lens hood, and other goodies. All of this can be used long beyond winter, but it's a good time to go ahead and buy now so you can get the hang of it if you plan on using it in the summer too.

Grab your combo kit now and you'll be pulling off some sick moves by the summer and saving some money while you're at it.

TL;DR: Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box preorders are already down to $189.99 at Amazon — about $20 off the list price and below market value.

If you’re planning to jump into MTG’s upcoming Marvel crossover, you may not need to wait for launch-day deals. That’s because, as of Feb. 13, Amazon has trimmed the preorder price of the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box to $189.99 — almost $20 under its $209.70 list price. 

That makes it one of the earliest discounts we’ve seen on the highly-anticipated set and the lowest price we’ve seen for this box so far — as confirmed via price tracker camelcamelcamel.

The Marvel-themed expansion pulls iconic heroes and villains into the Magic universe, letting players build comic-inspired decks while still leaning into the strategy-heavy style of gameplay the trading card game is known for. Play Boosters are designed to be the go-to format for drafting, casual Limited matches, and collectors who enjoy opening packs just as much as playing with them.

Each booster box comes with 30 Play Boosters, and every pack includes 14 cards featuring a mix of commons, uncommons, and at least one rare or higher. You’ll also find a Traditional Foil card in every pack, with a slim chance at premium borderless mythic rares for those chasing standout pulls.

The set doesn’t release until June 26, but locking in the discount now could save you from the inevitable price bumps that often follow major crossover launches. 

For more MTG deals, you can also get the Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Bundle for over $10 off at Amazon. The Magic: The Gathering Bloomburrow Play Booster Box is also $60 off right now.
