On May 5, The Bear dropped surprise episode "Gary," a standalone flashback installment all about Mikey (Jon Bernthal) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). Bernthal and Moss-Bachrach also co-wrote the episode.
SEE ALSO: 'The Bear' reheats 'The Pitt's nachos in a baffling Season 5: ReviewWhether the existence of "Gary" is news to you or you just haven't gotten around to it yet, you may be wondering, "Do I absolutely need to check it out before binge-watching Season 5 of The Bear? Or can I hold off on watching it until later?"
Don't worry: I'm here to tell you that you can certainly skip "Gary" before jumping into Season 5 and seeing how Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), and the rest of the Bear staff's story ends. While it teases a plot element in Season 5, it ultimately has little bearing on The Bear's final season.
The episode follows Mikey and Richie on a work trip to Gary, Indiana, and is mostly a character study of their turbulent relationship and inner pain. Its final scene cuts back to the present, with Richie recalling that trip on his drive to the Bear. The episode ends abruptly with (spoiler alert!) Richie getting in a car crash.
Flash forward to The Bear Season 5, episode 1, which reuses Richie's final car scene from "Gary," but peppers in some flashbacks to the Indiana trip to remind viewers of what Richie is thinking of. The car crash itself winds up being just a minor blip in Season 5. Richie escapes unscathed, and it's the least of his problems behind a flooding restaurant, an overbooked evening service, and a lack of food in the kitchen.
"Gary" does come back later in the season, when Richie tells Carmy about his and Mikey's trip. However, you don't need the context of the episode to understand the monologue. The emotion comes through anyway, and it might work even better without the overwrought build-up of "Gary."
Personally, I wasn't the biggest fan of the episode, believing it to be too indulgent and ultimately having no impact on Season 5. However, for The Bear super fans (or diehard completionists), I'd recommend checking it out if you desperately want more Mikey and Richie. Overall, though, don't put off your Season 5 watch plans for "Gary." Jump right in, and let it rip.
The Bear Season 5 is now streaming in its entirety on Hulu. Episodes also air Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on FX.
The dream for many content creators is to ultimately have a Mr. Beast-level team, who can help edit, pull thumbnails, or promote their content across platforms. But for many creators, all of that work is on you, on top of creating your content in the first place.
Roberto Blake, founder of the Awesome Creator Academy, knows this struggle well, having started on that path 21 years ago, when YouTube was in its infancy. In 2016, Blake earned the Silver Play Button from YouTube, commemorating reaching 100,000 subscribers. Ten years later, on stage at VidCon 2026 for his panel, How to Be a Value First Creator: Winning on Authenticity in an AI World, Blake said of AI, "If I had these things 10 years ago, it'd have made it a lot easier."
"The creator who works 40 to 50 or 60 hours a week at a nine to five job, overworked, underpaid, just like I was," Blake said at the half-hour panel, where he was the sole speaker, "and then has to figure out how they're going to create content with the little scraps of energy they have left and the little scraps of motivation, creativity that haven't beaten out of them by a bad boss. That's the reality of the majority of creators."
Blake argued that AI is a way for creators like this to thrive without a team.
How could AI help content creators now? Roberto Blake presenting his panel How to Be a Value First Creator: Winning on Authenticity in an AI World at Vidcon 2026. Credit: Kristy Puchko/MashableBlake told the VidCon attendees that AI tools exist that could help creators more swiftly edit their videos, create thumbnails for those videos, and fix audio issues.
"You can use something like Opusclip, for example," Blake said, "And you can repurpose across all your platforms and formats. You can get horizontal videos. You can get vertical videos, and you can be posting them instead of having to wait for it to come back from your editor three days later and not the way you passed. You have what you need, and it's instant."
He championed 1of10 for creating thumbnails and Adobe Creative Cloud for audio fixes, saying that those mixing tools can salvage audio, and allow you to recreate your voice to change the recorded audio, "instead of having to reshoot the thing and conjure up the energy and get in front of the camera again."
Could AI steal jobs? Roberto Blake says no. Roberto Blake presenting his panel How to Be a Value First Creator: Winning on Authenticity in an AI World at Vidcon 2026. Credit: Kristy Puchko/MashableWhile other panels at VidCon dug into the ethnics of using generative AI, Blake skirted that controversy, telling his audience to focus on audience, "The majority of people don't care how a sausage gets made. They care about how it tastes and how fast they can get it."
He argued that working-class content creators can't afford to hire a professional editor, so AI in that instance isn't taking work away from another creative. However, then he went on to suggest that sometimes other people are an obstacle rather than an asset to a creator's vision, saying, "Even if we could hire people, even if we had the unlimited budget, sometimes the reality is we can't always trust other people with our creativity."
He continued, "Sometimes the truth is many of us, especially those of us who might be introverts, our deficit isn't that we don't think we can find people more talented than us. It's that we don't necessarily think we can find people that we can trust with something we put so much more heart and soul into, and not feel like it might not be disrupted or argued against, or that we're going to have to defend the decisions that we make creatively when we have another cook in our kitchen. And so for those people, sometimes they would rather work with a tool [rather] than another person, and that doesn't disqualify or mean anything bad for artists out there. It just means that that was never a job that someone was going to have, because it was never a relationship that was going to work, and that's okay."
SEE ALSO: YouTube AI slop is a generational threat, child safety experts warn in new petitionAs to AI slop — a phrase he eluded to rather than used — Blake said, "Youtube has always been saturated by low effort, low value, low quality content in the sense that 88 percent of long form videos don't get to 1,000 views on the platform, and that's not going to necessarily change because of AI, and that should actually not discourage you. It should mean that you should understand this, we're early." He added, "I haven't seen a single AI channel that's purely AI hit 10 million subscribers on YouTube. And I'm not sure we're going to see that anytime soon."
After urging his audience away from human collaboration, Blake argued "human value" and authenticity paired with AI is the future for creators.
Roberto Blake says AI can help with energy management. Credit: Roberto Blake / Awesome Creator AcademyBlake repeatedly stressed the importance of a creator's energy in shaping their online authenticity, and the importance of protecting that energy.
"People talk about time management, productivity," he explained, "Very few people talk about energy management. They don't talk about how draining some tasks are, and then how emotionally fulfilling other tasks are. What if you could take 80 percent of your time and put it into the things that you care about the process most — you care about writing. Would you love to keep all of that for yourself?"
Blake went on, "With AI, we should look at the idea that maybe this isn't taking something away for us so much as giving us back time to be more human. That was kind of the point of my presentation, that we can be more human if we actually are able to move faster. But the thing that takes away our real humanity is not our technology, it's the lack of our time that we will never ever ever get back."

Mashable is reporting live from VidCon 2026 in Anaheim. Follow our coverage for creator interviews, panel highlights, and the biggest moments from the convention floor.
The first question at VidCon's annual "Creator Economy State of the Union" panel was predictable: AI or platforms — which will matter more to creators?
The answers were less predictable.
Rather than debating whether AI would reshape the creator economy, panelists seemed more interested in a different question: What separates creators who build audiences from those who build enduring businesses?
SEE ALSO: VidCon 2026: Live updates from the internet's biggest weekendTheir answer revealed just how much the industry has evolved. The creator economy is becoming less about internet fame and more about business fundamentals.
That meant conversations about first-party data instead of follower counts. Audience quality instead of reach. Intellectual property instead of one-off viral moments. Creators, the panelists argued, are no longer just content makers. They're entrepreneurs building brands, products, and media companies designed to outlast the platforms that made them famous.
AI is an enabler, not the storyDespite opening with AI, the panel landed on a surprisingly consistent message.
"AI is an enabler," said Viral Nation co-founder and co-CEO Mat Micheli. "AI isn't a replacement." He pushed back on the idea of AI-generated creators altogether, arguing that creators are, fundamentally, human.
Sophie Lightning Jamison, a creator and creator partnership lead at Anomaly, agreed, comparing AI to every other disruptive technology that's cycled through the industry.
"The thing that's consistent is that successful content creators have to be adaptable," she said.
For Jo Wong, chief revenue officer at POP.STORE, AI's value isn't replacing creators — it's helping solo entrepreneurs operate like larger businesses. Althea Lim, co-founder and group CEO of creator marketing agency Gushcloud, summed it up simply: platforms build audiences; AI builds efficiency.
That consensus felt notable. AI may dominate headlines, but the panelists talked about it less like a revolution and more like electricity: quietly powering everything else.
Followers aren't dead, but they're no longer enoughMicheli argued that follower count has become one of the industry's most outdated measurements, pointing instead to engagement, viewership, and audience behavior. A creator with 50,000 followers, he said, can easily outperform one with millions if they can actually move people to act.
Jamison offered a more nuanced take. In an algorithm-driven internet where people discover videos without following anyone, choosing to hit the follow button has become a stronger signal of intent than it once was.
The bigger shift, however, is that brands increasingly want to understand the entire customer journey — not just who watched a video, but who clicked, purchased, subscribed, or followed a creator somewhere else.
As Wong put it, creators aren't just personalities anymore. They're businesses.
The next generation of creators will think like media companiesLim described today's most successful creators as "moguls," pointing to her client Snoop Dogg's decision to buy Death Row Records' catalog and transform "Gin and Juice" from a song into a consumer brand. That's the mindset she believes creators should adopt. If every piece of content is treated as intellectual property, it has the potential to become a product, a brand, or an entirely new business.
That philosophy shaped nearly every industry prediction the panel made for the next 12 to 18 months. Bet on first-party data. Invest in distribution. Repurpose content. Build IP. Don't be afraid to sell products. Learn how AI can amplify your workflow instead of replacing it.
Even trust — arguably the panel's most frequently cited buzzword — was framed less as an abstract feeling than a business asset. Trust comes from expertise, subject matter knowledge, and consistently delivering value, the panelists argued. It's also increasingly difficult to fake in an internet saturated with content.
The conversation ended with a bold prediction. "I don't think Hollywood is going to be a construct in the next decade," Micheli said, arguing that creators and actors are converging into the same category of entertainer.
That future already feels closer than it once did. Hollywood stars are chasing creator-style authenticity (just look at Timothée Chalamet and his Marty Supreme campaign), while creators are launching successful movies, consumer brands, podcasts, and production companies. The distinction between internet celebrity and traditional celebrity is becoming harder to define.
Jamison closed the panel with an even simpler prediction: "The term creator economy will not exist in the next few years."
If she's right, it won't be because creators disappeared. It'll be because every business, every brand, every executive — and maybe every entertainer — is expected to think like one.

Kylie Jenner’s Meta AI glasses are part fashion accessory, part wearable camera, and full-on internet debate.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.On Tuesday, Meta introduced a new line of Meta Glasses, including a Kylie Jenner-designed pair called the Meta Starfire Kylie Edition. The larger Meta Glasses line starts at $299, while the Kylie edition starts at $399. A version with Clear to Grey Transitions lenses is listed at $479.
The glasses are slim, oval-shaped sunglasses that look more like a chic accessory than a piece of wearable tech — which is very much the point.
The Kylie edition includes Meta AI, hands-free photo and video capture, voice controls, open-ear audio, and a camera built into the frame, along with a few Jenner-specific touches: a gem accent, a mirrored charging case, adjustable nose pads, and a Kylie voice option for anyone who has ever wanted their sunglasses to "rise and shine."
Naturally, the internet had thoughts.
Some of the reaction has been about the marketing itself. On social media, users joked that Meta had found the right person to make wearable AI feel less like a Silicon Valley experiment and more like an It-girl accessory. One viral post put it plainly: "wow silicon valley finally figured out who controls consumer spending."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Another side of the internet has been focusing less on the frames and more on the camera inside them. Users raised privacy concerns about camera-equipped glasses being marketed as everyday fashion.

Some users questioned whether glasses with built-in cameras make recording in public less obvious than filming with a phone. Others brought up gyms, bars, schools, and other spaces where people may not expect someone’s sunglasses to also be a camera.
In the comments of one Instagram post about the glasses, one user wrote, "There is a guy that workouts at my gym with meta glasses on and he creeps me out every time I see him." Another wrote, "DONT BUY THESE." A different commenter said there was "zero chance" they would buy them before or after the "souped up marketing gig."
But not everyone cares about surveillance issues, apparently.

"Man, imagine just waking up every day you're Ned Fulmer."
Those are the words that left Ned Fulmer's mouth as he spoke on his panel at "F*ckups, Fixes, and Lessons Learned" at VidCon on June 25. He was quoting a comment that came across his feed in the aftermath of his 2022 cheating scandal that resulted in his exit from the Try Guys.
Fulmer, who wasn't originally on the lineup for the panel, announced via Instagram on June 23 he'd be speaking on his mistakes at VidCon.
"When I heard I was invited to be a panel for f***-ups, I was like 'Oh my god, I'm perfect," Fulmer shared to laughs from the audience.
For the first 20 minutes of the 50 minute panel, Fulmer spoke about his story one-on-one with Phil Ranta, CEO and co-founder of Stealth Talent. He shared the story that changed his life and the Try Guys forever, and was met with a loud gasp from the audience.
"Oh, that person didn't know," Fulmer said. "That was their first time hearing it."
The tone of the conversation, while not exactly tense, was decidedly different from last year's panel of the same name, which featured three content creators talking about the business errors they made. Despite his mistake being based in his personal life, Fulmer did talk about how the personal and business can be so intertwined in a creator's line of work, pointing to his reputation as a wife guy.
"It increasingly became a role that I was playing that was more and more diverging from my sense of self," Fulmer said, speaking in relation to how emphasizing that persona on-screen can be particularly lucrative and brand-friendly.
Ned Fulmer on his controversial comebackRanta and Fulmer also discussed Fulmer's rebrand with his podcast, Rock Bottom. On the first episode of the show, Fulmer interviews his ex-wife.
"I think I f***ed up a second time," Fulmer joked. He went on to discuss that he knew launching a podcast with Ariel would garner a lot of eyeballs and a lot of controversy from folks online. "[It] was sort of the point, but I think also maybe [it] wasn't the right strategy."
The episode has 1.4 million views on YouTube, eclipsing the 56,000 views of the second-most popular video on the podcast's channel. The show is under the umbrella of the media company, Fulmer Media, of which Fulmer is CEO.
When Ranta asked about how Fulmer conceptualized his re-brand, Fulmer answered that he didn't know, but that his guiding force has been putting his internal point of view and public performance in stronger alignment than it was during his wife guy days.
"If you don't have resilience to say I'm making this because I like it, or I'm working on this project because I think it's an important point of view, and I hope it can affect people, change the world in the way that I want to change the world — you're toast," Fulmer said.
Panelists praised Fulmer's vulnerabilityFor the last 30 minutes of the panel, the remaining three panelists and moderator, VidCon CEO Jim Louderback, joined Fulmer and Ranta on the stage to talk their mistakes.

Credit: Bethany Allard / MashableThere were echoes of a sentiment Ranta shared at the beginning of the one-on-one conversation: admiration for Fulmer's vulnerability and courage in sharing his mistakes in front of a room of people.
When business and personal collideWhile the remainder of the panel's mistakes focused on their business decisions, or interpersonal business relationships, that presented challenges, Fulmer returned repeatedly to the personal nature of his situation.
When Louderback asked panelists to reflect on any early warning signs of their mistakes, Ned said,"Obviously when you are kind of starting a love affair, it starts kind of slowly and then builds and builds in ways that you aren't ignoring," which earned some scattered laughter before continuing, "But that is easy to imagine and not that relevant for the industry panel."
He did go on to talk about the more professional side of the situation, saying of his time in the Try Guys: "I noticed my performances getting increasingly hollow and feeling increasingly negative."
As it pertains to the content he makes today, Fulmer said he accepts if people don't want to watch his content anymore, especially in a competitive entertainment landscape.
"Why should someone choose me when I make them feel uncomfortable and they have to confront these messy, complex ideas of rehabilitation or reinvention or redemption? Maybe they don't want to do that," he said. "Maybe they just want to view someone that makes them feel happy because they had a long day."
Multiple Mashable reporters and editors have been testing red light masks for the past few years. There were two mega favorites that we were hoping to see on sale for Prime Day: the TheraFace Mask and the Shark CryoGlow, neither of which has particularly noteworthy deals so far. (The TheraFace Mask just has a measly $50 discount, and you can get the Shark CryoGlow plus its $40 charging stand for the price of the mask itself. Whoopee.)
But there are still several worthwhile red light therapy devices on sale buried within the mass of Prime Day beauty deals, including a few other masks that we've tried and really liked. If you're more interested in the larger-scale benefits of a full red light panel, Amazon has several top options on sale for much cheaper than usual.

Just released in April 2026, the Dreame Chrona mask is a rare wireless red light mask that's actually affordable. Prime Day 2026 marks its first discount ever, dropping it to just $209.99 at Amazon.
For the past few weeks, I've had my beloved Shark CryoGlow mask on hold to test the Chrona mask. And I'm pretty damn impressed with it for how much it costs. It has a floppy, flexible fit like the CurrentBody mask I've tested, but it's much easier to see out of than the CurrentBody mask. You can use the typical 630 nm red light, 465 nm blue light, or 85nm near-infrared setting like many masks offer, or switch to less common LED colors like green to help balance texture, calm inflammation, and mitigate redness. The best part is that it's all done through a wireless remote or a button on the side of the mask.

Governor Gavin Newsom isn't letting California "sit on the sidelines" as AI makes its way into the workforce.
Announced today, the state will begin tracking AI-related job loss — and predicting where jobs may be impacted by AI in the future — as part of Newsom's executive order on generative AI. The data will be available for public use, via the new California AI-Unemployment Tracker, and will be updated with new work-related information monthly.
SEE ALSO: There's an official 'Toy Story 5' Lilypad tablet. It conflicts with the film's message.The tool was created alongside the California Policy Lab at the University of California.
"AI is advancing quickly, and workers’ concerns about what that could mean for their jobs are real. This new tracker helps replace speculation with evidence, giving us a clearer understanding of what’s changing and how to best support affected workers," said Till von Wachter, co-author and faculty director of the California Policy Lab UCLA.
The tracker's inaugural findings don't indicate widespread AI-related job loss just yet, but do show that certain "high exposure" industries and demographics are at particular risk, including tech sectors and employees in the Bay Area. According to the tracker, individuals with college degrees who are frequently exposed to AI could be most impacted by AI's encroachment into the workforce.
In an October Pew Research Center survey, around 20 percent of Americans said they used AI in some capacity at their jobs — the rise in use came predominantly from workers under 50 years of age with at least a bachelor's degree. A separate global survey of executive leadership, conducted by the Mercer consulting firm, found that 99 percent of executive leaders expected AI to impact headcount over the next two years.

The best deal on headphones goes to the Sony WH-1000XM5s, an older pair of flagship cans that we still love and recommend. "They [have] unbeatable ANC and sound for the money, and even in 2026, they sound shockingly good," writes Bethany Allard, our resident headphones expert. Normally $399.99, they're marked down to just $198 for Prime Day — a 50% savings and their lowest price ever.

Amazon's latest Echo devices, the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio, have both hit new, all-time low prices this Prime Day. But the biggest discount is going to the Echo Spot, its smart alarm clock. This tiny speaker sits compactly on nightstands but provides everything you need to start your morning, including a weather report and tunes to get you out of bed.
You can now get the Amazon Echo Spot for just $44.99. That saves you $35 off its $79.99 price tag for a 44% discount.

Our resident e-reader expert, Samantha Mangino, counts the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition as her daily driver, but for most shoppers, we have to recommend the excellent Kindle Paperwhite, which has proven to be one of the most popular Prime Day deals among Mashable readers this year.

Read Mashable's full review of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.
Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel says, "We loved the Surface Laptop 7 back when it launched in 2024. While its CPU isn't the freshest anymore, it still impresses as a whole: It features a 23-hour battery life, a microSDXC card slot, and a 2.5K touchscreen that's brighter and smoother than a 15-inch MacBook Air's screen.
Amazon's amazing Prime Day deal on this 15-inch model comes just a week after Microsoft announced the very similar Surface Laptop 8 (which isn't on sale just yet). It's currently listed for just $1,229.99 — a whopping 44% off its regular retail price of $2,099.99. I wouldn't be surprised if it disappears long before Prime Day ends, considering the exact same model sold out at Best Buy after dropping to $1,699.99 there."

DJI's entire fleet of gadgets is on sale this Prime Day, and this deal on its DJI Mini 3 is a standout. Amazon has it discounted to $269, or 36% off — its lowest price ever. (It was $30 more expensive during Amazon's Big Spring Sale in March.) This lightweight entry-level drone can shoot 4K video and fly for almost 40 minutes on a single charge.
Keep in mind that, thanks to the U.S. drone ban and DJI's problems with the FCC, the company's drones and new releases are sold through third-party sellers on Amazon. Not only that, but now that we're halfway through Prime Day, many DJI drones are already out of stock.

Multiple Mashable team members have tested (and loved) the Oura Ring 4. While it's recently been replaced by the slightly thinner Oura Ring 5, we're big fans of this smart ring. One of our reporters even wore this ring while training for and then running the New York City marathon. While prices vary based on the ring size, the Oura Ring 4 is starting at just $214 for Prime Day, a price we've never seen before and a big discount from the $349 list price.

OFFICIAL SWEEPSTAKES RULES
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. The Mashable @ VidCon 2026 Sweepstakes (the “Promotion”) is governed by these official rules (the “Sweepstakes Rules”).
The Promotion consists of three (3) separate and independent daily sweepstakes (each, a “Daily Sweepstakes”): the Day 1 Sweepstakes, the Day 2 Sweepstakes, and the Day 3 Sweepstakes. Each Daily Sweepstakes has its own Entry Period, its own prize, and its own random drawing, as set forth below. An entry is valid only for the Daily Sweepstakes corresponding to the calendar day (Pacific Time) on which it is submitted; entries do not carry over, and prizes are not transferable, between Daily Sweepstakes.
The entry period for each Daily Sweepstakes (each, an “Entry Period”; collectively, the “Sweepstakes Period”) is as follows:
Day 1 Sweepstakes: June 25, 2026, from 4:00 PM PT to 11:59 PM PT.
Day 2 Sweepstakes: June 26, 2026, from 12:01 AM PT to 11:59 PM PT.
Day 3 Sweepstakes: June 27, 2026, from 12:01 AM PT to 11:59 PM PT.
SPONSOR: Ziff Davis, LLC, with an address of 360 Park Avenue South, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10010 (the “Sponsor”).
ELIGIBILITY: This Promotion is open to individuals who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry who are legal residents of the United States (excluding Tennessee), the District of Columbia, Austria, the United Kingdom, Canada (excluding Quebec), Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Sweden. By entering a Daily Sweepstakes as described in these Sweepstakes Rules, entrants represent and warrant that they are complying with these Sweepstakes Rules (including, without limitation, all eligibility requirements), and that they agree to abide by and be bound by all the rules and terms and conditions stated herein and all decisions of Sponsor, which shall be final and binding.
All previous winners of any sweepstakes sponsored by Sponsor during the nine (9) month period prior to the Selection Date are not eligible to enter. Any individuals (including, but not limited to, employees, consultants, independent contractors and interns) who have, within the past six (6) months, held employment with or performed services for Sponsor or any organizations affiliated with the sponsorship, fulfillment, administration, prize support, advertisement or promotion of the Promotion (“Employees”) are not eligible to enter or win. Immediate Family Members and Household Members are also not eligible to enter or win. “Immediate Family Members” means parents, step-parents, legal guardians, children, step-children, siblings, step-siblings, or spouses of an Employee. “Household Members” means those individuals who share the same residence with an Employee at least three (3) months a year.
HOW TO ENTER: To enter a Daily Sweepstakes, you must complete the following steps during that Daily Sweepstakes’s Entry Period:
Follow the official Mashable account on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mashable/.
Locate the designated entry post for that Daily Sweepstakes by scanning the QR code at the Mashable VidCon booth or by finding the post directly on Instagram.
‘Like’ the designated entry post for that Daily Sweepstakes.
‘Comment’ on the designated entry post for that Daily Sweepstakes.
Subsequent attempts made by the same individual to submit multiple entries by using multiple accounts or otherwise may result in disqualification of the entrant. Limit one (1) entry per person, per Daily Sweepstakes.
Only entries submitted during the applicable Entry Period will be eligible for entry into that Daily Sweepstakes. No other methods of entry will be accepted. All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Entries are limited to individuals only; commercial enterprises and business entities are not eligible. Use of a false account will disqualify an entry. Sponsor is not responsible for entries not received due to difficulty accessing the internet, service outage or delays, computer difficulties and other technological problems.
Entries are subject to any applicable restrictions or eligibility requirements listed herein. Should a dispute arise regarding the identity of an entrant, the entry will be deemed to have been made by the Authorized Account Holder of the Instagram account used to enter at the time of entry. “Authorized Account Holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned the Instagram account, or the e-mail address or mobile phone number subsequently provided for prize fulfillment, by the applicable service provider or organization responsible for assigning such accounts, addresses, or numbers. Proof of submission of an entry shall not be deemed proof of receipt by Sponsor. When applicable, Sponsor’s computer will be deemed the official time-keeping device for the Promotion. Entries will be disqualified if found to be incomplete and/or if Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that multiple entries were submitted by the same entrant in violation of the Sweepstakes Rules.
WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: On or about July 9, 2026 (the “Selection Date”), Sponsor will conduct three (3) separate random drawings—one for each Daily Sweepstakes—and will select one (1) prize winner per Daily Sweepstakes (each, a “Winner”) from among all eligible entries received during that Daily Sweepstakes’s Entry Period. Each Winner will be notified via direct message to the Instagram account used to enter the applicable Daily Sweepstakes. Notification of a Winner shall be deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of the notification by Sponsor. Each selected Winner will be required to respond (as directed) to the notification within three (3) business days of attempted notification. The only entries that will be considered eligible entries are entries received by Sponsor within the applicable Entry Period. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received for the applicable Daily Sweepstakes. For each Daily Sweepstakes, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to select up to two (2) alternate Winners in the event that a selected Winner has been disqualified, fails to respond timely to the notification, or is deemed ineligible for any reason. In the event the alternate Winners are also disqualified, fail to respond timely to the notification, or are deemed ineligible for any reason, Sponsor shall not be obligated to select any further alternate Winners for that Daily Sweepstakes and the applicable prize shall remain un-awarded.
PRIZE(S): The prize for each Daily Sweepstakes is set forth in the tables below (each, a “Prize” and collectively, the “Prizes”). One (1) Prize will be awarded for each Daily Sweepstakes.
DAY 1:
DAY 2:
DAY 3:
No more than the stated number of Prizes will be awarded, and all Prizes listed above will be awarded. Actual retail value of a Prize may vary due to market conditions. The difference in value of a Prize as stated above and value at time of notification of the Winner, if any, will not be awarded. No cash or prize substitution is permitted, except at the discretion of Sponsor. The Prizes are non-transferrable. If a Prize cannot be awarded due to circumstances beyond the control of Sponsor, a substitute Prize and/or cash value of equal or greater retail value will be awarded; provided, however, that if a Prize is awarded but remains unclaimed or is forfeited by the Winner, the Prize may not be re-awarded, in Sponsor’s sole discretion. In the event that more than the stated number of Prizes becomes available for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of Prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
ACCEPTANCE AND DELIVERY OF THE PRIZE: Each Winner will be required to verify his or her address and may be required to execute the following document(s) before a notary public and return them within seventy-two (72) hours (or a shorter time if required by exigencies) of receipt of such documents: an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a publicity release covering eligibility, liability, advertising, publicity and media appearance issues (collectively, the “Prize Claim Documents”). If an entrant is unable to verify the information submitted with their entry, the entrant will automatically be disqualified and their Prize, if any, will be forfeited. A Prize will not be awarded until all such properly executed and notarized Prize Claim Documents are returned to Sponsor. A Prize won by an eligible entrant who is a minor in his or her state of residence will be awarded to the minor’s parent or legal guardian, who must sign and return all required Prize Claim Documents. In the event the Prize Claim Documents are not returned within the specified period, an alternate Winner may be selected by Sponsor for such Prize. A Prize will be shipped to the Winner within six (6) weeks of Sponsor’s receipt of a signed affidavit and release from the Winner. The Winner is responsible for all taxes and fees related to the Prize received, if any.

ALL SUBMISSIONS BY ENTRANTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION BECOME THE SOLE PROPERTY OF THE SPONSOR AND WILL NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED OR RETURNED.

Lists of Prime Day TV deals often focus on massive discounts on massive TVs. Most of us would find a four-digit discount on an 85-inch TV thrilling for a few seconds — and then many of us would remember that our home requires a TV of a more practical size.
As someone whose life was recently changed by a 32-inch bedroom TV upgrade, it only felt right that I compile a list of good deals on small TVs this Prime Day. The dollar discounts aren't as large as the ones on the 65-inch+ TVs, but the percentages off are just as intense: You can get up to 50% off TVs from 32 to 50 inches at Amazon and Best Buy.

Best bedroom TV deal for Prime Day Hisense 32-inch S5 DécoTV $199.99 at AmazonJust released earlier this year, the Hisense DécoTV is the antithesis of the throwaway bedroom TV. It's all white with rounded edges and a sculpture-like base that doesn't require attaching any legs. I replaced my 15-year-old clunker (that was literally too old to handle a Fire TV Stick) with the 32-inch Déco a few months ago and couldn't be happier. It blends in with my room's white and gold decor perfectly — why aren't more small TVs this chic?
The difference between LED and QLED is extremely noticeable when I'm watching TV in the daytime, and the contrast is a million times better for horror movies at night.
Note that the 32-inch Hisense DécoTV is FHD, not 4K. I don't think that's a huge deal for such a small screen, but Hisense did release a 43-inch 4K version of the DécoTV in mid-June. It's also on sale for Prime Day.

If you have a gaming PC, a Steam Deck, or even a brand new Steam Machine, you can currently get a whole lot of great video games for almost no money right now.
That's because the annual Steam Summer Sale kicked off on Thursday, with offers lasting until July 9. That means you have a couple of weeks to get as much as 80 percent off on some of the best games ever made. But if you don't feel like combing through the entire Steam interface to find deals, I've curated 10 of them that I think are definitely worth checking out. These range from mainstream hits to smaller indie games across a variety of genres, but one constant is that I've played and adore all of them.
Here are 10 of the best deals in the Steam Summer Sale.
SEE ALSO: 'Star Fox' for Nintendo Switch 2 is a magnificent Hollywood take on a classic The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition Geralt is a cool guy. Credit: CD Projekt Red/SteamList Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $9.99
There's a decent chance you already own The Witcher III, given that it's sold 65 million units since its launch in 2015. But if you don't, there really is no better time than now to hop on the bandwagon.
This is, without sugarcoating it, one of the best RPGs ever made, and you can enjoy it just fine even if you never played its two predecessors or read any of the Polish fantasy novels on which the game series is based. It combines some of the best open-world quest design ever with an emotional, mature story that's more about being a good father than saving the world (though there's some of that, too). The Complete Edition comes with both existing expansion packs, which are 100 percent worth playing, and there's actually a third expansion coming out in 2027 to look forward to, as well.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Cal Kestis is also a cool dude. Credit: Respawn/SteamList Price: $69.99
Sale Price: $13.99
There is a litany of Star Wars games available in the Steam sale, but Jedi: Survivor is probably the best deal here, for my money. The sequel to 2019's Jedi: Fallen Order follows surprisingly endearing protagonist Cal Kestis and friends as they search for safe haven from the evil Galactic Empire. It's got great combat, compelling level design, and honestly one of the best stories in any Disney-era Star Wars production. For $13.99, this is a must-buy, as far as I'm concerned.
Titanfall 2 One of the best shooter campaigns ever. Credit: Respawn/SteamList Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $4.49
Titanfall 2 has been one of the most perpetually dirt-cheap games on digital storefronts for the past decade, but somehow, there are still people who have never played it. Don't be one of them.
Put simply, this is one of the greatest first-person shooter single-player campaigns ever made. Every moment of it oozes with creativity and excitement, making the best out of extremely fun shooting and traversal mechanics in every mission. You should seriously just block out an entire Saturday afternoon and play it in one sitting.
Burnout Paradise Remastered Racing games don't get much better than this. Credit: Criterion/SteamList Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $3.99
Burnout Paradise has a real argument as being one of the four or five best games of the entire Xbox 360/PS3 era, and it's held up beautifully. The remastered version includes all online modes, as well as all of the DLC that was made for the original game. Paradise redefined what an open-world racing game could be, years before games like Forza Horizon carried the torch for the genre. It's simply a lot of fun and very easy to pick up and play in short bursts or long sessions.
Risk of Rain 2 One of the best co-op roguelikes out there. Credit: Hopoo/SteamList Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $8.24
Risk of Rain 2 is a shooter roguelike that can be enjoyed solo, but is best played with up to three friends in co-op fashion. You choose from one of several characters and run around procedurally generated levels killing enemies and collecting a wide variety of stacking upgrades, all while contending with a mechanic that increases enemy difficulty the more time elapses. It can get extremely challenging, but also very rewarding, especially if you manage to make a super broken build that basically plays the game by itself.

Sale Price: $8.99
One of the biggest breakout indie hits of the last decade, Stardew Valley is still maybe the very best farming/life sim game in a market full of them. Filled to the brim with charming characters, great music, and a large variety of ways to spend your precious time (be it in solo play or multiplayer), it's shockingly easy to lose dozens of hours to this game without even thinking about it. It's also got a vibrant mod scene on PC, if you're into that sort of thing.

Sale Price: $29.99
Trails in the Sky: 1st Chapter made it onto Mashable's best games of 2025 list because I made sure it did, and I'm going to evangelize it here, too, especially now that it's half off. It's a spiffy new remake of the first game in the long and storied Trails series of Japanese RPGs. There are 13 games in total, with more to come, and all of them are part of a big, sprawling, interconnected story with hundreds of characters spread across a huge, lore-rich continent.
But you don't need to worry too much about that with this game, since it's the first one. It eases you into the setting beautifully and will leave you very excited for the remake of the second game in the series, due out this September. The combat is also incredibly fun. One word of warning, though: You need a healthy tolerance for anime to enjoy this series.

Sale Price: $19.99
Ignore the roman numerals in title for this game. Yes, it's the eighth entry in the long-running Ys series, but it's also a perfect entry point for newcomers with minimal narrative connection to any other entries.
Do you like running around a vibrant, colorful world while hitting monsters with a sword and listening to some of the most energetic, catchy music in video game history? Do you like RPGs where you don't spend a lot of time in menus and every system fits together cleanly to produce a super satisfying experience? Even if you don't think you like those things, this is really one of the most newcomer-friendly (and also best) RPGs ever made.
Hotline Miami I can also hear this screenshot. Credit: Dennaton/SteamList Price: $9.99
Sale Price: $0.99
Once a pillar of trendy indie game success, Hotline Miami's zeitgeist nonetheless ended many years ago. Still, for less than a dollar, you really have no choice but to at least try it out, especially if you missed it in 2012. Hotline Miami is a super fast and twitchy top-down action game filled with pixelated hyper-violence and one of the best video game soundtracks ever. It's like playing through a drug-fueled murder haze, but, you know, a fun one. It's really good, I swear.
American Truck Simulator Sometimes this country is beautiful. Credit: SCS Software/SteamList Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $4.99
American Truck Simulator is, indeed, an in-depth simulation of long-haul trucking in the United States. If you want to customize every part of your rig, you can do that. But if you just want to vibe out and listen to internet radio country music stations while driving across Kansas (do not drive across Kansas, it's so boring), you can also do that. It's best played on a racing wheel accessory, but a controller or even keyboard and mouse will do the job, too.
As a bonus, developer SCS Software has developed literally dozens of expansions to add new states to the game over the years. You can get just the base game for $4.99, but if you want to spend as much as $43.85, you can get a bundle that includes everything.
Movies are a serious topic at my house. As part of our attempt to not wither away while mindlessly scrolling social media, we've implemented movie nights, and the phones are not invited. Since going to the movie theater takes effort, wearing outside clothes, and a good chunk of money, we've done our best to recreate a movie-theater environment at home. A huge elements of this is using a projector instead of a standard TV.

It's an immersive feeling that makes everything that much more enjoyable. If you're feeling like your home movie setup could use an upgrade, Amazon Prime Day has some excellent options on projectors.
I've scrolled the sale and compiled the best Prime Day projector deals that'll make summer movie nights the best yet.

Some people have an emotional support water bottle. I do, too, but I also have an emotional support projector, which I didn't know was possible until I tested the Hisense M2 Pro. Now I feel lost if I'm away from it for too long.
The Hisense M2 Pro is a 4K laser triple-laser projector with up to 1,300 ANSI lumens. Not only does that brightness mean you can watch a movie in daylight, it's a great option for gaming. The Hisense has a 240Hz refresh rate and low lag input. Plus, it can adjust between 65 and 200 inches. The Amazon Prime Day price of $949.99 is the lowest we've seen in 2026.

If you love to travel, take road trips, visit friends, and still have epic movie nights, the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser is travel-ready. I've packed it along to Japan and Europe, and it also comes with me during Christmas break because watching holiday movies is highly important to my family.
The Nebula Capsule 3 Laser weighs about two pounds and is a bit bigger than a 16-ounce can. During Prime Day, snag it on sale for $509.99, down from the normal price of $749.99 for a 32% discount.

A broken mug sits on a desk in the Division of Digital Psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Printed across the surviving ceramic shard are the words: "This was made by AI." Our team thinks that the story of this mug neatly captures the hype, hope, and even harm surrounding artificial intelligence.
At the Division of Digital Psychiatry, we spend our days studying how digital technologies are shaping mental healthcare. Through our research, clinical work, and MindBench.ai — a collaboration with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) — we examine how AI systems respond when people seek mental health information, support, and guidance. The project brings together researchers, clinicians, and NAMI's nationwide community of people with lived experience, families, advocates, and volunteers to better understand where AI tools are helpful, where they fall short, and how they can be evaluated safely and transparently.
So, we were naturally curious when we heard chatter in the news about Andon Market, the first retail store run entirely by an AI agent named Luna. As AI systems take on increasingly autonomous roles, the questions raised by an AI-run storefront are not entirely different from those emerging in mental healthcare. Where should these systems be trusted? When should humans remain in the loop? And what happens when things go wrong?
The project comes from Andon Labs, whose website describes its mission as building "autonomous organizations without humans in the loop," an endeavor that may have implications for mental health in the near future. But after our experience, we think Luna could have used a few more humans in that loop of hers.
According to Andon Labs, Luna was given a bank account with $100,000, a lease, and broad responsibility for operating a profitable business in San Francisco. Luna handles staffing decisions, inventory management, marketing materials, and all things in between. The goal is to see how much of a real-world organization can be delegated to an AI system and what questions arise when they try.
SEE ALSO: 4 reasons not to turn ChatGPT into your therapistIt is an experiment that raises many of the same questions now emerging in mental healthcare. As AI systems become more capable, where should they be trusted? When should they be supervised? Where do they fail? And what infrastructure do we need to evaluate and understand the risks of using these tools in places where the stakes are much higher than shopping?
In her few months of "life," Luna has made some, dare we say, creative choices. She ordered 1,000 toilet bowl covers for the employee bathroom. Naturally, she stocked the store with the extra 999. She also tried to hire a painter for the store, which showed initiative, except the painter was based in Afghanistan. Drop-down menus on Yelp are hard for an LLM to get past the letter "A," it seems.
Still, the hype around the project left us with high expectations when we decided to try the shopping experience for ourselves. What an autonomous storefront looks like now may offer some glimpse into how close we are to AI autonomy in more sensitive spaces.
We decided to buy two mugs that featured Luna's subtle smiley-face logo. If Luna were real, what happened next would not leave her smiling.
Purchasing these two mugs was more difficult than selecting them from the far end of the metal shelf. Customers place orders by picking up a wired blue telephone and speaking directly to Luna. We tried to make our purchase, but the AI system was down, and the order could not be completed. This was our first failure point. It was akin to arriving at a mental health clinic and finding it devoid of any clinicians, leaving the patient completely helpless.
The human employee (yes we live in an era where we need to make that clear) tried to reset the internet and even Luna. But she was offline or off somewhere. We offered to pay by cash, credit card, PayPal, or Venmo, but the human employee was not authorized to accept any of them.
Determined to get the mugs, we followed up by email. What should have been a straightforward customer service interaction (one of the tasks AI is destined to revolutionize) turned into roughly two weeks of back-and-forth. Payment links failed, instructions became confused, and at various points, Luna had forgotten to respond entirely. If this were Dr. Luna and we were the patient, this would again be a critical point of failure. Regardless, it was perhaps a test of sheer perseverance.
Eventually, persistence prevailed. The order was processed, the mugs were shipped, and it appeared that the experiment had reached its happy ending — until the box arrived. Picking up the box made a song of broken pieces, foreshadowing bad news.
The mugs were wrapped in two sheets of tissue paper, then placed together in a brown bag, which was taped shut and placed in a larger cardboard box. Inside was a pile of broken mugs. A mug is a fragile thing to pack, but we are well aware that mental healthcare and the well-being of patients are even more fragile. Even Luna was no longer subtly smiling on one of the mugs; the reality of the real world and shipping had chipped off her subtle grin.
Luna's stakes were mugs, and she still managed to fumble every step of the process. The thing is, if you had asked us to design a perfect illustration of what it looks like when an AI system fails someone in mental health, this would fit pretty close to it: the unreachable first contact, the broken intake, the contradictory guidance, the forgotten silences, and an outcome that left patients who entered without help and even perhaps some harm.
We went to Andon Market to see what AI running a store looked like, and left with a memorable saga and eventually two broken mugs. Luna does not claim to be a therapist, but the parallels are potent. Much of the conversation around AI swings between extremes, but the reality is more nuanced as these systems are remarkably capable in some contexts and surprisingly fragile in others.
Within digital mental health, AI offers enormous potential to expand access to information, services, and mental health support, but their failures can scale just as quickly. Rather than relying on what we are told about AI, we need to put it to the test and see what happens. Luna did not cause us harm, and rather amused us, but it's easy to imagine people soon turning to AI-managed systems for mental health, where the idea is fantastic but the reality is also chipped and broken.
For us, the broken mug has become an unexpectedly useful reminder of why our work in the Division of Digital Psychiatry is important. It sits in the lab as a small artifact of failure from an ambitious AI autonomy experiment. It is also a reminder that capability and reliability are not the same thing.
As AI tools are already being used in mental healthcare, and we look towards a future of increasingly autonomous systems, we must develop ways to safely evaluate them before they also set up storefronts and take on expanded duties. We don’t plan to ask Luna for new mugs and will be keeping the fragments as relics of the early days of AI autonomy and a tangible parable of hype, hope, and real-world considerations for deploying AI.

A new Nothing Phone is on the way and you won't have to wait too long to find out more.
On Thursday, the British design firm posted a video that ostensibly showcases some teaser images of their upcoming smartphone, Phone (4b). The post, published on X, mentions July 7, all but announcing that's when the official unveiling will take place.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Wondering what the difference is between this Nothing Phone (4b) and the Nothing Phone (4a), currently on sale? Essentially the Phone (4b) will be a more affordable model of the Phone (4a) — just as Google makes the Pixel 10 and the lower-priced Pixel 10a model.
The video that Nothing posted does show some design differences between the Nothing Phone (4b) and the Nothing Phone (4a).
"Phone (4b) blends a unibody design and clear camera bump of Phone (4a) Pro with the Glyph Bar from Phone (4a) to create a minimal rear design that feels distinctly Nothing and smooth in your hands," Nothing wrote on the community forum on its website.
Notably, the Phone (4b) teased in the video comes in a blue color option.
Mashable previously reviewed the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro and lauded the features the company managed to pack into a $499 smartphone. It'll be interesting to see how much lower Nothing goes with its cheaper phone model.
Bad news for Nothing Phone fans in the U.S., however. According to 9to5Google, Nothing does not plan to sell the Phone (4b) in North America.
