Seth Meyers reacts to Pete Hegseth burning through $93 billion in a month

Mashable - 10 hours 55 min ago

Like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers has thoughts on Pete Hegseth reportedly burning through $93 billion in one month.

The Late Night host used his "A Closer Look" deep dive segment to examine the U.S. War (née Defense) Department and secretary spending serious taxpayer money — and not just the $5.6 billion the Trump administration spent on the first two days of the U.S.-Iran war. A recent government watchdog report uncovered exorbitant pre-war department spending on luxuries like $1.8 million on musical instruments (including a $98K Steinway grand piano), $5.3 million worth of Apple devices (including 400 new iPad Air M3s), $4 million worth of Samsung products, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak in Sept. 2025 alone.

"They spent $15 million on steak in one month? Who are you? Sterling, Cooper, Draper, and Price? If you're gonna eat that much steak, you better have come up with a new campaign for Lucky Strike," said Meyers. "No wonder Hegseth always looks miserable; he's 24/7 meat-constipated. That's the face of a man warfighting with his colon."

"Also, it's a real contradiction that you're telling us how tough you are, but now I can only picture you wearing a bib," Meyers added. "'We are going to rain hell down on them from above I need the tiny fork who has the tiny fork?'"

Perfect Order preorders have been fluctuating with leading Pokémon TCG retailers, but the Booster Display Box has demonstrated decent value for money ahead of its March 27 release.

As of March 12, Walmart has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Box up for preorder at $219.98, which puts it $44.97 below Amazon’s current $264.95 price and $13.76 under TCGplayer’s $233.74 market price. It also works out to about $6.11 per pack for a 36-pack booster box ahead of the release.

For a sealed booster box, the value looks pretty reasonable on a per-pack basis. At $219.98 for 36 packs, you’re paying roughly $6.11 per pack before tax. That’s still not exactly cheap, but compared to buying single boosters individually (you can buy from Walmart at $18.97 each), this is a bargain. 

The Perfect Order expansion centers on Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Lumiose City and features Mega Zygarde ex, alongside cards like Mega Clefable ex, Mega Starmie ex, and Meowth ex. The box includes 36 booster packs, with each pack containing 10 random trading cards, making this the standard for collectors who want the broadest shot at the set’s pulls without buying loose packs individually at a higher cost.

You can still buy the Perfect Order Build and Battle Box for only $49.98. As for booster bundles, you can also preorder the Pokémon TCG Perfect Order Booster Bundle for only $59.95.

Im an admin assistant for adult creators — heres what my day is like

Mashable - 11 hours 33 min ago

Sex sells, but you might not know just how much.

There are people who make their living having sex or looking sexy, but there are plenty of others who make money in their orbit. 

"I thought my only option was to teach sex ed at primary and secondary schools through charities," said Amari, a sex positive virtual assistant and social media manager. "And now all of a sudden I have these two businesses where I'm working in the sex space in a completely different capacity than what I thought."

SEE ALSO: How I make 6 figures on OnlyFans selling feet pics

Since 2023, Amari has run Admin by Amari, an agency offering services from administrative work to social media to copywriting and SEO, all for different workers in the sex space. She also runs Sex Coaching by Amari, but the former business is her bread and butter. 

"Sexual health nurses, gynecologists, obstetricians, all the way to sex workers," she described clients. That's not all: "OnlyFans models, sex toy companies, sex dungeons, play parties…reproductive justice charities, abortion charities. The list…it's crazy."

Mashable interviewed Amari about how she went from university student to right-hand person for the sex-positive among us.

SEE ALSO: I've tested 100+ sex toys. Here are the 15 most mind-blowing toys I've ever owned. "It just accidentally became my full-time job"

When studying sociology in university, "every topic that I was allowed to pick was about sex in some shape or form," Amari said. The topics included gender, sexuality, sex work, porn, feminism, and gendered violence. 

She volunteered for different charities, like a sex workers' rights charity and one about sexual domestic violence. She'd do various administrative tasks, social media work, and help with events. Eventually, she got a job at a nursery and thought that when she'd graduated, she'd go either down the charity or women's rights group route or the childcare route.

Then COVID hit. But she graduated with a full-time job, as nurseries stayed open in the UK. Amari loved working with kids, so she decided to enroll into teacher training. 

Unfortunately, though, it was a grueling experience. Between 80-hour work weeks and not getting paid due to the nature of the program, "I got incredibly stressed out, mentally, physically," she told Mashable. "It attacked my joints. I was on crutches at the age of, like, 23."

"I was actually physically unable to work with children," she said. "My body just completely shut down."

She also didn't have a good experience with her mentor. All of this prompted her to ask herself what she's going to do with her life.

Given her charity volunteering while at university, she sent her CV to charities and secured an administrative and social media role at a forest school nursery. While the pay was low, the job was remote, and Amari decided, "This is the life I want to live." 

It was around this time that she also received her sex education qualification, but realized she wasn't able to be in a school environment due to her physical condition. 

SEE ALSO: OnlyFans 'baits and switches' customers with false promises, lawsuit claims

Months later, a reproductive justice organization reached out to her, offering admin work for 10 hours per month. Amari figured she could do admin and use the bit of extra pocket money, so she registered as self-employed.

"That's how I set up the agency," she said.

She reached out to other charities to offer freelancer work, and it slowly became her full-time gig.

"It just accidentally became my full-time job," she said. "And all of a sudden I was like, 'Oh my gosh'...I had a sex educator reach out to me, a sex worker reach out to me. I had a sex work company reach out to me," she said, after they found her through Instagram.

"I didn't even know all of these people needed this sort of support," she said. But now, she works with six clients and has a team of over a dozen people handling administrative and social media work. 

The day-to-day of a sex work admin assistant

Amari's day-to-day is "chill" these days, she said. Sometimes she'll have discovery calls with potential clients, negotiate brand deals, do interviews or podcasts, or write articles, but she said that's more of a "side thing."

"I wake up whenever I want," she said. "I get to go to the gym whenever I like. I get to do Pilates whenever I want to…It's mainly me in bed tapping away at my computer to be honest."

That doesn't mean she always puts her feet up. As someone who posts about sex on social media, she knows all about platforms' draconian rules. On her website, Amari has a guide on censorship and shadowbanning, which is when someone's account is deprioritized by a social media app. Sex workers, erotic artists, and LGBTQ content creators have told Mashable that they've seen their Instagram accounts shadowbanned or simply banned.

"The first time I got shadowbanned, I was like, 'Oh my god, I'm gonna lose my job. My whole business is gonna go to shit. I need to get a new job.' I was so stressed out and so overwhelmed," Amari said. But she did a lot of research and spoke with clients who've experienced shadowbanning, so she's gathered that knowledge over the years. 

"We understand shadow banning, we understand censorship," she said. "But I cannot make you a promise that something won't happen to your account." She does have best practices, though: diversify your platforms (have two to three social media accounts), and go outside of social media too with an email marketing list and website.

Depending on the client, she also censors specific words as well (a content moderation phenomenon we've seen on social media the last few years — "seggs," anyone?), but some clients specifically don't want her to. 

But it's just one thing she's learned being in the sex space, which she said is "such a fun industry."

"I learned so much in that first six months," she said. "Proper whirlwind." 

Now that she's cemented in it, it feels like she has a proper community despite being remote — not that she doesn't love working from home.

"If there's one thing I want people to take away from this, it's get a remote job," she joked.

Jimmy Kimmel reacts to Jake Paul speaking at a Trump rally

Mashable - 11 hours 42 min ago

Donald Trump bringing Jake Paul onstage at a rally and endorsing him for political office may sound like something out of a parallel timeline, but it's exactly what happened on Wednesday.

"Trump got a visit from a celebrity who could be our next president of the United States," says Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above, before playing footage of the YouTuber-turned-pro boxer speaking at Trump's Wednesday rally in Kentucky, saying: "What Mr Trump has taught me is courage. We never back down from a fight."

"I wonder if Jake knows Trump got a note from his podiatrist to dodge the draft?" Kimmel asks. "Do you think maybe he kept that a 'wonderful secret' from Jake?"

Stephen Colbert reacts to energy secretarys deleted tweet

Mashable - 11 hours 47 min ago

With the ongoing U.S.-Israel war with Iran , the global oil market is chaos right now.

U.S. energy secretary Chris Wright hit X on Tuesday to seemingly assuage concerns, writing, "The U.S. Navy successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure oil remains flowing to global markets."

The tweet was then deleted, because that hasn't actually happened, but it was enough, as the Wall Street Journal reports, "to wipe out million-dollar trades" and send the stock market into pandemonium.

On The Late Show Wednesday night, Stephen Colbert walked through the whole debacle in the clip above.

"There's already too much drama in the life of an investor," joked Colbert. "Just look at Wall Street, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, Wall Street 3: This Cocaine's Just Not Hitting Like It Used To, and Wall Street 4: Rush Hour 2."

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Apple TV Prime Video Channel Watch the Australian GP for free with a 7-day trial Shop Now

The new F1 season started in the way most fans expected. There was a lot of good, but plenty of bad.

I still don't really know where we stand this season after the introduction of regulation changes, but that uncertainty mostly feels like a good thing. Sure, the cars sound funny and there definitely seems like a lot of unnecessary complication, but there was also some genuinely thrilling racing from the first race weekend. And you can't always say that with F1.

And now the attention turns to China, and the first Sprint of the season. Can anyone stop Mercedes from flying to the front? I honestly have no idea at this stage, but I can't wait to see how Ferrari, Red Bull, and McLaren respond to Russell's dominant performance at Albert Park.

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 Chinese GP?

The Chinese GP is the second race of the 2026 F1 season. Here's the full schedule from the Shanghai International Circuit:

  • Practice 1 — 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. ET on March 12

  • Sprint Qualifying — 3:30-4:14 a.m. ET on March 13

  • Sprint — 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. ET on March 13

  • Qualifying — 3-4 a.m. ET on March 14

  • Race — 3 a.m. ET on March 15

It's possible for fans to follow all the action from this race weekend without spending anything.

How to watch the Chinese GP for free

I'm a paid-up member of Amazon Prime. You probably know by now that Amazon Prime comes with fast shipping, exclusive Prime Day deals, and access to Prime Video. That Prime Video access is crucial for this season of F1.

It's now possible to 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. That means you can watch the Chinese GP for free this weekend and then back out before needing to pay anything. It's a sneaky trick, but it works.

I already pay for Amazon Prime, so is this really a free hack? That's up for debate, but Amazon Prime does offer a 30-day free trial period if you're new to the service. By signing up for this free trial and then gaining access to Apple TV through Prime Video Channels, you can watch select races without spending anything.

If you've already used this method for the Australian GP, I suggest you go direct to Apple TV. This popular steaming service comes with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Alternatively, Apple One bundles Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness Plus, Apple News Plus, and 50GB of iCloud Storage for $19.95 per month after a one-month free trial.

Conan OBrien raging against the actors nominated for an Oscar instead of him is peak Conan

Whenever Conan O'Brien appears on a late night show you know there's a decent chance of some chaos, and his interview with Jimmy Kimmel doesn't disappoint.

As well as telling an amusing story about his struggle to come up with an Oscars joke about the movie Train Dreams, O'Brien (who is hosting the awards again this year) also takes a moment to rage about the actors who were nominated in the Best Supporting category while he received nothing for his role in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.

"I'M BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM COMBINED, AND YET I WAS DENIED!" screams O'Brien. "DENIED!"

The 10 best free dating apps to find your spring fling

Mashable - 13 hours 30 min ago

If you're on a budget and things look bleak in the relationship department, don't panic. You don't need to shell out hundreds to find a genuine connection. As the weather warms up and the spring dating pool thaws out, there are plenty of free dating apps that let you chat, match, and meet a partner without shelling out cash upfront.

Dating itself will cost you time and money, so why should dating apps eat at your wallet, too? You don't have to resort to dating an AI to save money. Simply use a dating app's free tier. The good news is, the most popular apps are free to use — no credit card required.

What dating apps are completely free?

Mainstream dating apps like Tinder, OkCupid, and Hinge all have robust free membership tiers that compete with paid subscriptions. Some free, more niche dating apps, like Archer and Lex, are also worth checking out. It just depends on what you're looking for and how much work you're willing to put in to get it.

Critics will tell you that the big-name dating apps (like Bumble, or Match Group giants such as Tinder and Hinge) are all the same, forming a single, amorphous dating platform. However, these apps still have distinct differences. However, dating app companies are moving more features behind paywalls, frustrating daters on a budget. (We're looking at you, Grindr.)

Below, find our top picks for the best free dating apps. Use them to find your forever partner, a casual encounter, or something in between — all without paying a dime.

Note: All the free dating sites listed below offer a free membership option that allows you to talk and match with people at no cost. Though most offer paid premium memberships, these aren't apps like Match or eharmony, where you need to pay to match or chat with other users. And if you're being pressured to send money to someone on a dating app, you might be involved in a romance scam.

Apples iPhone Fold will let you run apps side by side, report claims

Mashable - 13 hours 34 min ago

Getting a foldable phone right isn't just about making it thin or hiding the crease in the display; the software that powers it is equally, if not more important than the hardware.

A new report from Bloomberg says that, when it comes to the rumored iPhone Fold, Apple will keep things simple by making it a lot like the iPad when unfolded.

First, a note about the hardware. We don't know if the iPhone Fold is even real, and it's certainly not an officially confirmed Apple product at this point. But rumors say that it'll be a foldable phone that's roughly iPhone-sized when closed, and the size of an iPad mini when unfolded.

That inside display will reportedly have a wife aspect ratio, making it ideal for watching videos, as well as multitasking.

According to Bloomberg, Apple will make this work by adding updates to iOS that enable iPad-like screen layouts, as well as running multiple apps side by side, just like you can on the iPad.

Make no mistake, the iPhone Fold will still be running iOS and not iPadOS, so you can forget about having a real desktop-like experience, and you won't be able to natively run iPadOS apps on it. But developers will get tools to adapt their existing iOS apps to be accomodating to the Fold's wider display, which includes adding a sidebar along the left edge of the screen (as seen on some iPad apps).

The report also reiterates previous claims that Apple will use new display tech that will all but eliminate the display crease that is seen on some foldable phones, and that Apple is working to make the Fold extremely durable, meaning you should be able to open and close it many, many times without it breaking.

SEE ALSO: Apple plans a 'high-end' Ultra line, including iPhone Fold, report says

The report also says that the Fold's outer display will have a punch-hole style selfie camera on top, a first for Apple. This means the Fold will not have Face ID; instead, Touch ID will be integrated into the phone's side button. Not having Face ID is a downside, but some iPads have Touch ID, and it works well, so it probably won't be a big deal for most users.

Apple's iPhone Fold is expected to arrive later this year with a starting price of roughly $2,000, making it the most expensive iPhone you can buy.
