Instagram adds Instants tool to send disappearing photo dumps to friends

Mashable - Wed, 05/13/2026 - 10:00

Instagram has a new feature that lets you share an unedited photo dump with your pals that disappears once viewed. Yes, we have questions.

The Meta-owned social media platform announced Instants on Wednesday, a tool that lets you send a batch of snaps to Close Friends or mutual followers. You can't edit the photos, which might throw some folks off, but you can add captions.

Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favourite creator today.

Notably, Instants will disappear after being viewed or after 24 hours. In this capacity, the feature sounds exactly like Instagram's existing disappearing messages, as well as similar options on Snapchat, Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Plus, there's an undo button if you want to take back a sent photo.

Credit: Instagram / Mashable

Instants will appear in your Instagram DMs inbox appearing like a pile of photos. Once you've sent a glut of Instants, the recipients can react with emoji, reply like a regular DM, or send their own collection of Instants, as you both throw mountains of unedited snaps back and forth until the comet finally hits. Recipients cannot screenshot the photos (more on that below), and your Instants will be saved in a folder only you can access — you can repost them from here to Stories.

SEE ALSO: Instagram users claim they're getting censored. Here's what Meta says. Featured Video For You Is U.S. TikTok censoring its users? Now, for the important caveats.

Firstly, if you use a tool like disappearing messages, I cannot stress this enough but your recipient can always record the screen or take a photo with another device. Though Instagram's Instants cannot be screenshotted, that doesn't mean the person you're sending the image to can't capture it.

Secondly, Instagram monitors Close Friends content even if you think it's some kind of incognito mode. It is not.

Next, all posts will need to comply with Instagram's nudity guidelines, which run a fine line between protection and censorship. Something tells me this won't be the last we talk about this when it comes to Instants.

Finally, Instagram has officially pulled end-to-end encryption on DMs, so the security of your Instants is under standard encryption.

The Trump phone might not be total vaporware after all

Mashable - Wed, 05/13/2026 - 09:33

In a surprising turn of events, the Trump Mobile T1 smartphone might actually start rolling out.

On Tuesday, Trump Mobile CEO Pat O'Brien told USA Today that the golden phones will start shipping to customers who've pre-ordered them "this week."

Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today.

It's good news for buyers, but the Trump Organization-licensed company sure did test their patience before it got to this point. The phone was originally announced in June 2025 by the U.S. president's sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., with a planned launch in September, but the launch date kept moving into the future.

To make matters worse, Trump Mobile's terms and conditions changed in April 2026 to say that the $100 pre-order deposit does not guarantee customers will actually get the phone, prompting some to call the entire scheme a "scam".

Besides the launch date, the original promise of the phone being made in America was changed, too, with the company now calling it an "American-proud design."

SEE ALSO: Seth Meyers reacts to Trump saying he doesn't 'think about Americans’ financial situations'

In his interview this week, O'Brien said that the first T1 phones were "assembled in the United States," while new models will use components that were "primarily manufactured in America."

Despite reports that roughly 600,000 people paid the $100 deposit for the T1 phone, O'Brien wouldn't confirm the exact number of pre-orders. Instead, he said that Trump Mobile is "incredibly pleased" with the interest in its products.

LAIKAs Wildwood teaser trailer promises a gorgeous stop-motion fairy tale

Mashable - Wed, 05/13/2026 - 09:05

Do you have two minutes to spare and a craving for stunning animation? Then you're in luck, because LAIKA, the animation studio behind Coraline, ParaNorman, and Kubo and the Two Strings, has released the teaser trailer for its upcoming film, Wildwood. No surprise here, given LAIKA's past track record, but it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Directed by Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings) and based on the novel by the Decemberists' frontman Colin Meloy, Wildwood transports us to Portland, Oregon, and a magical world just beyond its boundaries.

The film centers on headstrong teenager Prue McKeel (voiced by Peyton Elizabeth Lee). Despite warnings from her parents not to leave their house, she does so anyway, bringing her baby brother with her. When a murder of crows abducts him, she has no choice but to venture into the Impassable Wilderness, an enchanted forest full of talking animals and dangerous bandits. With the help of her classmate Curtis Mehlberg (voiced by Jacob Tremblay), will Prue be able to rescue her brother and make it home?

LAIKA previously released a first look at Wildwood focused on one character: the majestic golden eagle known as the General (voiced by Angela Bassett). With this teaser trailer, it fleshes out the rest of the Impassable Wilderness even further, showing off animal armies, menacing witches, and a mysterious boy who appears to be made of clockwork. It all comes to life in captivating stop-motion, promising a handmade fantasy of epic proportions.

Wildwood's voice cast also includes Carey Mulligan, Richard E. Grant, Awkwafina, Amandla Stenberg, Tom Waits, Charlie Day, Blythe Danner, Arthur Knight, Maya Erskine, Jake Johnson, Tantoo Cardinal, Rob Delaney, Jemaine Clement, Marc Evan Jackson, Len Cariou, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and Mahershala Ali.

Wildwood hits theaters Oct. 23.

Loop has revived its mega-popular iridescent earplugs, but only for a limited time

Mashable - Wed, 05/13/2026 - 08:52

Loop Earplugs are Mashable favorites — partly because they work really well, but also because they come in a bunch of luxe finishes. Unlike traditional earplugs, they look like jewelry, not boring foam nubs.

Loop's Engage 2 earplugs became instant bestsellers when they dropped in an iridescent lavender colorway across two launches last June. Then, they became highly coveted finds on the resale market. ("this is embarrassing to I admit but I’m honestly willing to pay a RIDICULOUS price for these at this point," reads one "DESPERATE" post on r/LoopEarplugs.) Loop said they were "the most in-demand look the brand has ever released."

Mashable 101 Fan Fave: Vote for your favorite creator today!

Mercifully, Loop dropped another batch of iridescent earplugs this month, just in time for the start of music festival season. They're available in the triple-duty Switch 2 style this go-around, and they retail for $64.95 only on Loop's website. That's $5 more than the standard Switch 2 colors, for reference.

The iridescent Switch 2s aren't just a limited release, but a "strictly limited" release with "no planned restock," per a company blog post. If you can't believe we're at a point where earplug drops are in such high demand, well, just look how pretty they are.

View this post on Instagram

The Switch 2s have three different audio-muffling modes for different scenarios. You can switch between them by turning a dial on the earplugs' housing:

  • Quiet offers the most noise cancellation for when you're trying to sleep or focus.

  • Experience — filters a moderate amount of noise to protect your hearing at concerts.

  • Engage — lowers ambient noises just enough to where you can have conversations without getting distracted or overwhelmed.

The iridescent Switch 2s come with a matching case that you can hook on a keychain, plus four sets of different-sized ear tips.

If this particular colorway doesn't do it for you, or if sells out by the time you go to buy a pair, stay tuned for Loop's collab with Pleasing, singer Harry Styles' lifestyle brand. It's set to launch on Thursday, May 21, but you can get early access 24 hours prior by signing up for email notifications on loopearplugs.com.

This popular LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor has dipped under $500 at Amazon — save over $300

Mashable - Wed, 05/13/2026 - 08:24

TL;DR: Amazon has the LG 27-inch UltraGear OLED gaming monitor (27GX704A-B) on sale for $477.99, down from its $799.99 list price. With a $300 saving, you get a glossy QHD OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and much more.

$799.99 Save $322 Get Deal

Although in-demand OLED gaming monitors aren’t exactly known for being cheap, this new LG deal will earn you one of the popular 27-inch UltraGear models for just below $480. 

As of May 13, Amazon has the LG 27-inch UltraGear OLED gaming monitor listed for $477.99, down from $799.99. With this 40% discount, you’ll save $322 on a display built for players who want the speed of a competitive monitor without giving up OLED picture quality.

At 27 inches, this UltraGear keeps things desk-friendly while still giving you a proper QHD 2560x1440 resolution. This means you’re still getting a sharper jump over 1080p without needing the costlier firepower of a full 4K setup, which makes it a nice middle ground for anyone playing fast multiplayer games like League of Legends, big single-player releases on the level of Crimson Desert, or just using the same screen for work and streaming on Netflix

This is also where the major benefits of this UltraGear monitor’s OLED panel come in. This glossy display reaches a standard 275 nits of brightness and peaks at 1300 nits, while VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio help keep blacks actually black. It also covers up to 98.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, so any game you play or TV and film you watch, will now come with darker worlds, neon-heavy cities, or colorful effects that should look sharper than ever.

Performance is just as strong, with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time designed to keep motion crisp in shooters, racers, and anything else where a few missed frames can cost you. At this speed, fast-paced titles — like Rocket League or Counter-Strike 2 — will run like a dream. 

What’s more, NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro are also included to help reduce screen tearing — alongside dual HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB ports, and a height, tilt, swivel, and pivot-adjustable stand. 

If you also need a budget-friendly monitor to add to another setup in your household, the Samsung G5 gaming monitor has just hit a record-low price at Amazon. If you’re looking for an even larger display, the 39-inch curved OLED UltraGear gaming monitor is on sale for only $749.

Seth Meyers reacts to Trump saying he doesnt think about Americans’ financial situations

Mashable - Wed, 05/13/2026 - 06:12

Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that when it comes to negotiating a deal with Iran, "I don't think about Americans' financial situations. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

It's the start of that statement that Seth Meyers unpacks in his Late Night segment "A Closer Look," with the host examining the president's priorities.

"Trump's entire campaign was premised on improving Americans' financial situations, and now he's admitting he's not even thinking about it," said Meyers.

Though Trump may shrug off the numbers of America's affordability crisis, inflation spiked to 3.8 percent in April due to the U.S.-Iran war. A May 2026 CNN poll found that 70 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's economy, while a further 77 percent (with a Republican majority) said Trump’s policies have worsened their cost of living.

“Seriously, 77 percent is impressive. It’s rare to get Americans to agree on anything, let alone politics," said Meyers. "I don’t even think we could get 77 percent of Americans to agree that pineapple on pizza is disgusting, which it is. Here’s how disgusting it is: even Pizza Rat wouldn’t touch it. Although in fairness, Pizza Rat is actually very discerning — he was a guest judge on the new season of Top Chef. I'm just kidding, Pizza Rat’s dead."

Elsewhere, Stephen Colbert also shared his thoughts on Trump's recent comments.

The more time you spend gaming, the more the speed of this particular model stands out. The 180Hz refresh rate is built for smoother gameplay than a standard 60Hz or 75Hz displays (great for high-speed titles like Overwatch and Marvel Rivals), while the 1ms MPRT response time should help keep inputs feeling quick when a match suddenly gets hectic. AMD FreeSync is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing and choppiness.

To round out the G51F monitor, Samsung has added some luxury PC extras, like HDR10 for brighter highlights and deeper shadows, plus Black Equalizer for spotting enemies in darker areas. There’s also Virtual Aim Point and Auto Source Switch+ to give you an even bigger edge — while the ergonomic stand supports tilt, pivot, and height adjustments.

If you’ve got the budget for a model that’s bigger and even flashier, LG’s 39-inch OLED and curved UltraGear monitor is now only $749.99. Elsewhere, the 4K ASUS ROG Swift is $200 off

Amazon currently has the Solix F3800 with a 400W solar panel marked down to just $1,999.99. I say "just" because it usually sells for a whopping $3,999, so you're saving 50% (or roughly $2,000) on top of getting a freebie.

This is an all-time-low price on the package deal according to the Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel. It's only been this cheap once before before in mid-April.

If you don't need the solar panel, the standalone Solix F3800 is now discounted to $1,799.99 on Amazon — another historical low. (Amazon's list price is very deflated, FYI. The Solix F3800 retails for $3,999 on its own, not $1,999.99, so that works out to a 55% savings.)

Just hit the Anker Solix F3800's 240V power switch twice to activate its EV charging mode. Credit: Anker

Our sister site CNET tested the Solix F3800 back in 2024 and gave it a stellar 9/10 score for its myriad output options and massive capacity. It starts at 3,840Wh, but you can bump that to 26,880kWh by adding up to six expansion batteries, or even 53,760kWh with a second unit.

Reviewer and former CNET Labs Manager Steve Conaway said his absolute favorite thing about the Solix F3800 "is its ability to output not only normal 120-volt receptacles, but also split-phase 240 volts in the same single unit." That's enough juice to power large appliances like ovens and dryers, or charge up an electric vehicle. Plus, you don't need a combo box or transfer switch to get all that power, as you would on alternatives.

Conaway notes that the Solix F3800 is heavy, but at least it's wheeled.

If you haul the Solix F3800 off-grid — it's great for RVs — you'll be able to charge it with the 400W solar panel. Its waterproof design can be angled four different ways.

Mashable - Wed, 05/13/2026 - 05:22

If ever you find yourself wondering whether or not Donald Trump thinks about the average American when he makes his decisions, just ask him yourself. Apparently he's happy to give an honest answer.

In the Late Show clip above, Stephen Colbert plays footage of the president telling a reporter: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situations. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

"Honestly, there's not a whole lot going on upstairs," growls Colbert, in trademark Trump impression mode. "Most of the time I'm thinking about that little monkey playing the symbols. Either that or boobs, OK? Sometimes monkey boobs. Monkey see, monkey boob. Sometimes, this is just me, I'm thinking about sea monkey boobs."
