She's an icon, she's a legend, and she IS the moment. The trailer for Aidan Zamiri's The Moment starring Charli XCX just dropped and it looks set to be another iconic moment for the brat singer.

The movie is based on an original idea by Charli XCX and the cast includes Rosanna Arquette, Alexander Skarsgård, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Kylie Jenner, Hailey Benton Gates, Isaac Powell, and Rachel Sennott.

The Moment will hit theaters Jan. 30.

Amazon has kicked off its Black Friday sale with a huge number of record-low deals, and we're not talking about big discounts on products you've never even heard of. We're talking about best-ever prices on the most popular products, like AirPods.

Apple AirPods Pro 3 are down to their best-ever price at Amazon, but that's not all: Apple AirPods 4 are on sale for $109.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model, so there really couldn't be a better time to shop.

The only question we have at this early stage is whether or not we're going to see anything better. Usually, we would say that patience can be rewarded, but this really is a low price and stock on Apple has been known to drop over these busy shopping seasons. This price is better than we saw in the October Prime Day, so we would be surprised to see another dip.

Grab the Apple AirPods 4 at their best-ever price in the Amazon Black Friday sale. For more deals on AirPods, check out our breakdown of everything on offer over Black Friday.

SAVE OVER $20: Apple AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $219.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model.

Amazon's Black Friday sale has started incredibly strongly. So strongly in fact that I'm starting to worry where we can go from here. We've already been treated to record-low prices across the board. Are the prices going to continue to fall? That seems unlikely. Will everything just stay the same throughout Cyber Week? I can't see that happening either.

Apple AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $219.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model.

Seeing best-ever prices on brand new AirPods is obviously great, but it has left me wondering how Amazon can possibly top this. Has Amazon just thrown all its cards on the table right away with a huge deal on the most popular earbuds? I should be happy to see this deal but it has left me puzzled.

In Mashable's review of the AirPods Pro 3, Adam Doud said "The AirPods Pro 3 are a remarkable upgrade in functionality over their predecessors, with better battery life and ANC, as well as a new heart rate sensor. If you need a new set of AirPods, this is an easy buy." And at this new low price, it becomes an even easier decision.

It's a great time to be a Critter. Critical Role's fourth campaign is in full swing, and their second animated series, The Mighty Nein, just premiered on Prime Video.

That's not the end of The Mighty Nein goodness, though! This Sunday, Nov. 23, WEBTOON will be launching Critical Role and Dark Horse's The Mighty Nein Origins graphic novels as a reformatted vertical scroll comic — and Mashable has your exclusive first look.

SEE ALSO: 'The Mighty Nein' review: Critical Role hits new highs with their darkest series yet

This prequel series delves deep into the pasts of the outcasts who will one day grow to be the heroic Mighty Nein. From Caleb Widogast's traumatic time at the Soltryce Academy to Mollymauk Tealeaf's first visit to the Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities, there's tons to unpack in each story.

The first story to hit WEBTOON is that of everyone's favorite blue chaos agent, Jester Lavorre. As the daughter of the celebrated courtesan the Ruby of the Sea, Jester's childhood is anything but ordinary. Things get even stranger when this budding prankster encounters the Traveler, a trickster deity who encourages her mischief-making. Covering everything from Jester's youth in Nicodranas to her first meeting with the Traveler, The Mighty Nein Origins: Jester Lavorre unveils the wild pranks and mishaps that brought Jester to the Mighty Nein.

Below, get your first look at The Mighty Nein Origins in vertical scrolling form on WEBTOON.

The first three episodes of The Mighty Nein Origins hit WEBTOON Nov. 23 at 8 p.m. ET. Five additional episodes will be available through Fast Pass, and the series updates every Sunday at 8 p.m. ET. Following Jester's arc, The Mighty Nein Origins will follow the same publication schedule as the original graphic novels, meaning Caleb's story is up next, followed by Yasha's.

The release of The Mighty Nein Origins as a webcomic is part of a partnership between Dark Horse and WEBTOON. Earlier in 2025, the two teamed up to make WEBTOON the online home of other Dark Horse titles like The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Plants vs. Zombies, and The Legend of Korra.

Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins launches Nov. 23 on WEBTOON.

I spend a lot of my time searching for the best deals from across the internet, but I don't generally buy much for myself. Maybe I'm too deep in the world of online shopping to ever hit "buy now." It's not that I'm reluctant to spend. It's just that there's usually nothing I want to buy. That is until now.

I went into this busy shopping season with one thing on my shopping list: a new Kindle Paperwhite. I've owned a Paperwhite for many years and I love it, but I can only charge it if it's pressed up against the wall at a very specific angle. If the floor creaks in another room, the charge drops. This cannot go on, so I'm committed to finding a good price on a new device.

And it looks like my search is over on the first day of Amazon's Black Friday sale. The Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) is on sale for $124.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's the lowest-ever price for this model, only ever matched in the October Prime Day.

Mashable's Kindle expert, Samantha Mangino, declared in her review that the new Paperwhite "is the only one you need." Sure there are other e-readers out there, but I'm only shopping for the Kindle Paperwhite.

The DJI Mic Mini is one of those products that we keep a particularly close eye on. Mashable readers seems to absolutely love it and it goes on sale a lot. That's a recipe for success, so we make sure we're the first to tell you about any new price drops. And with Amazon launching its Black Friday sale, we were waiting patiently for something to happen.

And we didn't need to wait long, because the DJI Mic Mini (2 TX, 1 RX, and Charging Case) is on sale for $78.90 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's over $90 off and the lowest price we've ever seen. It's worth noting that this item is being sold by Top Sports. We don't generally recommend third-party sellers, but Top Sports have a strong track record and a new record-low price deserves your attention.

This DJI Mic Mini bundle includes everything you could ask for: two transmitters, one charging case, four windscreens, one receiver, two magnetic clips, and all the other bits you need to start making content without delay. It's a super portable piece of kit with about 48 hours of battery life, so you really can take this mic with you wherever you plan to shoot.

Mashable's Bethany Allard reviewed this mic and said that it "offers a lot of versatility, and for a great value." But at a steep discount? It's a steal.

DJI has been in the news a lot lately, and no we're not talking about how much all the TikTokers, YouTubers, and filmmakers love the brand. Unfortunately, it's looking increasingly likely that DJI drones will be banned by the end of 2025. That's bad news for creatives, and makes this Black Friday even more important.

This could be the last chance to secure a good deal on DJI drones before they cease to exist in the U.S.

Do not panic, because the DJI Mini 4K drone is on sale for $239 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. According to camelcamelcamel, that's the lowest-ever price for this model. This deal is exclusive for Prime members, but you can always sign up for a 30-day free trial to make the most of this limited-time offer. With all the deals dropping over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's a good time to be a member.

It's worth noting that this drone is being sold by the Xingtai Store. We don't generally recommend purchasing from third-party sellers on Amazon, but DJI is obviously facing problems importing its drones right now, resulting in stock issues. With that in mind, we're making some allowances right now. And anyway, the Xingtai Store has excellent reviews, so we feel comfortable making this recommendation.

Black Friday is fast approaching, but the reality is that it's already here in a big way. You can find discounts on hot products like MacBooks, AirPods, Lego, Pokémon, and so much more. It's the single best time of the year to secure a deal, with heavy discounts on offer from all the leading retailers.

The biggest retailers are always looking to get ahead of the competition by launching early-access deals, with savings-packed Black Friday ads that include a snapshot of what shoppers can expect. We recommend that savvy shoppers take some time to check out everything that's showcased in these ads, but if that sounds like far too much work, we can help you out.

Don't you just love it at this time of year? You're minding your own business, slowly approaching the end of the year, and then Black Friday hits you like a train, delivering huge discounts of MacBooks, Pokémon, Lego, and everything else on your shopping list. It's not exactly a relaxing period, but boy can you save a lot of cash. So buckle up, shoppers. We've got weeks of deals to check out.

The only way to survive and thrive over Black Friday is to do a little planning. We recommend bookmarking our many Black Friday pages so that our professional deal hunters can showcase all the offers that are genuinely worth your consideration. But besides that, we also suggest making the most out of the Black Friday ads released by leading retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.

Looking for the Amazon Black Friday ad? Aren't we all. Amazon does things a little differently from other Black Friday retailers because it doesn't release a traditional Black Friday ad. Instead, Amazon announces its plans for Black Friday via a press release and then drops a boatload of deals when the time comes.

Amazon's Black Friday sale officially begins on Nov. 20 and runs through Dec. 1, with plenty of deals on offer throughout this bumper event. According to Amazon's official press release, these are the deals we can look forward from Nov. 20:

• Up to 55% off select home products from Shark and kitchen appliances from Ninja

• Up to 50% off Amazon devices like the Echo Dot Max, Fire TV Stick lineup, Fire tablets, and Kindles

• Up to 50% off electronics from JBL and Canon

• Up to 45% off Bose audio

• Up to 40% off kitchen items from Vitamix, Staub, Nespresso, and more

• Up to 40% on select floorcare from Bissell and iRobot

• Up to 40% off home entertainment from Hisense, TCL, and LG

• Up to 40% on toys from Melissa & Doug, Little Tykes, Play-Doh, and Nerf

• Up to 35% on select Samsung and Google products

That's a strong lineup, but it's really only a small sample of what's to come. In fact, we're already seeing record-low prices on hot items like Apple products, Lego sets, and power stations.

By now you've probably seen the meme of Cynthia Erivo standing in the street, holding up a hand and looking shocked — and now Erivo herself has explained the story behind it.

Appearing on The Tonight Show in the clip above, the Wicked: For Good star explains to Jimmy Fallon that it all came about after she lost one of her favorite hats at Wicked premiere in London last year. In 2025, a fan appeared in an autograph line outside an event in Paris, and told Erivo that she had the hat safe at home.

"So I said to her, 'Can I have it back?' She said 'I don't have it with me right now, it's in my house,'" Erivo explains. "I said, 'Well, when can we get it back?' She said, 'Can I get tickets to the premiere?' 'Listen, fine. Have them.' And she brought it back and I was reunited."

A happy ending for everyone.

Stephen Colbert spends day after day unpacking the news, namely the daily happenings with President Donald Trump, so on Wednesday night, the Late Show host pivoted into a segment he calls a "Refreshing Change Of Subject."

The subject? The curious case of Smokey the goat and the Psychedelic Healing Shack.

"Folks, I've been doing this job for about a decade, and I've seen some crazy stuff come over the transom, but once in a while, you come across a headline that no amount of experience could possibly prepare you for, one that shakes you to your very core," said Colbert. "Well, ladies and gentlemen, today I learned: Escaped goat causes chaos in Detroit, scared man jumps on car. Yes, and to that, I say: Escaped goat causes curiosity in host. Man, sick of Trump, jumps on story."

This type of local, animal-involved news is what I personally needed this morning, with Stephen Colbert unpacking the strange elements of a goat on the run through Detroit, scaring a man onto a car.

Your mom (or mom figure) should revel in her own glory with gifts that make her feel smart, sophisticated, and valued. Consider what she does when she has no one putting demands on her time — then shop for those moments. And if you get stuck, visit our guide to the best gifts under $50 for even more winning ideas.

A lot of robot vacuum shoppers may default to Roombas this Black Friday based on brand recognition alone. But as a professional robot vacuum reviewer, I'd urge everyone to think twice about buying a Roomba this year.

It's not that I don't think the Black Friday Roomba deals themselves won't be good — I'm sure that most of the main Roombas will hit new record-low prices at Amazon. But recent reports insinuate that Roombas haven't exactly been selling well this year, and iRobot's iffy fate is worrisome for future buyers. I have serious doubts about the longevity of the Roomba at this point.

"But aren't Roombas the robot vacuums of all robot vacuums? Isn't Black Friday prime time to find one on sale and bring home that Roomba street cred?" That's the thing: Roombas don't have much street cred anymore. iRobot is in deep water after its stock dropped considerably on Oct. 27. That was right after it was revealed that there are officially no more buyers in the running to acquire iRobot. (iRobot had been scrambling to find a buyer ever since the Amazon acquisition fell through in January 2024.)

Now is not the time to invest in a Roomba. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable

Remember when iRobot randomly overhauled the entire Roomba lineup back in March? It seems that revenue from those new Roombas hasn't been enough to rizz up a buyer. Not great, considering iRobot essentially gave itself 12 months from March to find a way to avoid going under. Will this be the last Black Friday that Roombas are up for grabs? Either way, it's not a wise time to gamble on a Roomba.

First, a technical concern: If iRobot does go out of business, does that mean that the app won't receive updates anymore? The new Roomba Home app that iRobot insisted we all switch to is already clunkier than the original iRobot app. For anyone who owns a Roomba, the app could become borderline unusable if iRobot no longer has a team to send bug fixes. I have similar questions about customer service.

SEE ALSO: As an anxious cat mom, I love my robot vacuum with a livestream camera

My other concern is one that I've had for almost a year: Roombas just aren't competitive robot vacuums anymore. While iRobot was once a pioneer of fancy new robot vacuum features, the 2025 Roombas that'll be on sale for Black Friday aren't innovative at all. We've seen all of their staple features, like small obstacle avoidance and self-washing and -drying mopping pads, in a ton of other practically-priced robot vacuums from brands like Roborock, Dreame, Narwal, and Eufy. And the suction power of these new Roombas is toast compared to what those other brands are offering.

Some hopeful robot vacuum buyers seem similarly unimpressed with the latest iRobot vacuums. A Nov. 5 query in the r/RobotVacuums subreddit posed the same question Reddit asks every year: "What robot vac is everybody looking to buy Black Friday?" Not one of the 50+ comments mentioned wanting a Roomba.

Some other robot vacuums in the Reddit wishlist do match up with vacs I'll be recommending. Both the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller and Roborock Saros 10R made appearances, which are the best robot vacuum mop combos that I've tested in 2025. I'm hoping that each drops to $999.99 this Black Friday. Their closest Roomba peer in price, the Roomba Max 705 Combo, is already at its Black Friday price of $899.99. IMO, that's not cheap enough to be worth it — it has significantly weaker suction power than the Aqua10 Ultra Roller and Saros 10R, and doesn't have a livestream pet camera.

A few other Roborock, Dreame, Eufy, and Mova robot vacuums were mentioned more than once. They all have better specs than the Roombas closest to them in price.

If you don't want to write iRobot off just yet, the Roomba 105, Roomba Plus 405 Combo, and Roomba Plus 505 Combo vacuums would be my recommendations. I tested all three for a few weeks each in my apartment and had a fine time with all of them. Still, why settle? There are better cheap robot vacuums than the Roomba 105 and better (much quieter) mid-range robot vacuums than the Roomba 405 and 505 series. And their parent companies aren't on the verge of capsizing.
