Dropout has built its brand on a string of sensational improvisational television shows, like Game Changer, Dimension 20, and Very Important People. Their latest, MP3, breaks from this formula, as it's the first scripted show the streaming platform has debuted in seven years.

Playing like a parody of MTV's long-canceled Total Request Live, MP3 — short for Music Presentation 3 — offers quirky VJs and three new music videos each episode. Saturday Night Live's Jeremy Culhane plays former boy bander/current MP3 host Dane Cartel, who's joined by newly minted VJs Dr. Muse-Tina (Skye Townsend) and Chia (Aparna Nancherla). And if he's got beef about sharing the spotlight, he'll have to take it up with his director/daddy, Thomas Cartel (Paul F. Tompkins)

As teased in the show's trailer, these music videos feature songs written by MP3 creators Zach Reino and Jess McKenna, and fictional bands like Truth Summons, Boys Who Read, Sheepish, and Every Place I Cry. Each band features familiar faces from Dropout's growing web of comedy stars, like Anna Garcia, Lily Du, Jacob Wysocki, Katie Marovitch, Sam Reich, and more.

This week on Say More, Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko sat down with Townsend, Nancherla, and Tompkins to learn how MP3 came together, how much improv does come into play, and if there's a chance for more Very Important People crossover. After all, Fanoli got a mention in episode 1, and the trailer teases the return of Princess Emily of Maroon 5? Could Tompkins reprise the role of midnight louse David Hoyle Jr.? The cast considers how!

How to watch: The first episode of MP3 is now streaming on Dropout. New episodes will roll out every two weeks through the season finale on Dec. 2.

It's time to start hatching a plan for Black Friday 2026. Most major retailers treat the entire month like one drawn-out holiday sale, and Best Buy is no exception. The electronics retailer has announced plans to roll out two waves of early Black Friday deals before a 10-day savings extravaganza around Black Friday proper (Nov. 27).

Having covered Black Friday sales for nearly a decade, Mashable's reporters and editors agree that Best Buy is the place to shop if you're looking for Black Friday deals on big-ticket items like large TVs, Windows laptops, gaming consoles, and espresso machines. This year, the pressure is on for it to combat price hikes related to the global memory crisis, which has made many popular tech gifts way more expensive than usual.

Here's everything you need to know about Best Buy's Black Friday sale before you start shopping.

When is Best Buy's Black Friday sale? Credit: Best Buy

Best Buy's Black Friday sale will run from Thursday, Nov. 19 through Saturday, Nov. 28. Paid members of the My Best Buy program (Plus and Total tiers) will earn double points on their purchases from Nov. 19 to Dec. 6, the Sunday after Cyber Monday. Those points are redeemable for reward certificates.

Some of Best Buy's Black Friday deals will be available ahead of time. The retailer is releasing batches of Early Black Friday Deals and Doorbusters on Friday, Nov. 6 and Nov. 13 as a way of "giving shoppers an early jump on some of the season’s best offers," per a Best Buy blog post.

Should you wait until Black Friday to shop Best Buy's deals?

It's smart to shop Best Buy's Black Friday deals as early as possible: According to a company FAQ page, items marked with its "Black Friday Deal" badge are available in limited quantities and do not offer rainchecks. "When they are sold out, they may be sold out through Black Friday," it notes.

We expect high-demand, highly giftable items like Pokémon cards and gaming consoles (especially special-edition variants) to sell out the fastest.

What are Best Buy's Black Friday hours?

Best Buy hasn't announced its store hours for Black Friday 2026 yet, but last year it opened at 6 a.m. local time.

Will Best Buy be open on Thanksgiving?

No, Best Buy stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, which falls on Thursday, Nov. 26 this year. This has been its policy since 2020. (Same with Target, Walmart, and other major retailers.)

Is it worth going to Best Buy on Black Friday?

It might be worth trekking to your local Best Buy on Black Friday. According to some fine print on the company's Black Friday landing page, "there are usually a small handful of Black Friday deals that are only available for shoppers in a physical Best Buy store." We don't know exactly what those are yet, but we'll update Mashable readers as soon as we find out.

If you'd rather avoid the stress of navigating crowds and lines, you won't miss out on much by staying home. Most of Best Buy's Black Friday deals will be available on its website, it said.

Does Best Buy price match?

Best Buy normally price-matches competing retailers such as Amazon, Costco, The Home Depot, Target, and Walmart. However, it changes this policy during the holidays. It will not price-match any official Black Friday deals at other retailers, nor any items on sale elsewhere from the Thursday before Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday (whether they're called Black Friday deals or not).

So, if another retailer offers a better Black Friday deal on an item you've already purchased from Best Buy, you'll just have to return it and buy it again.

The only deals Best Buy will price-match on Black Friday are its own. If you buy something there sometime between now and Dec. 31, and it gets cheaper later on in the season, Best Buy will refund the difference. You can request price matches online and in stores.

Some items are excluded from Best Buy's Holiday Price Match Guarantee, including holiday decorations, "activatable" devices purchased under a third-party contract (such as phones), and non-returnable products like trading cards, gift cards, and e-bikes. Items sold by third-party sellers, aka "Marketplace Sellers," are also ineligible for price matches.

What is Best Buy's holiday return policy?

Almost anything you purchase at Best Buy now through Dec. 31 can be returned or exchanged until Jan. 15, 2027. (If you're a My Best Buy Plus or Total member, you've got until Jan. 31, 2027.)

Again, the main exceptions here are holiday decor and activatable devices. They have 14- and 15-day return windows, respectively.

When is Best Buy's Cyber Monday sale?

Best Buy is having a Cyber Sunday and Monday Sale Event on Nov. 29 and 30. It will then offer Cyber Week Deals from Dec. 1 to 6. 

To wrap up the holidays, Best Buy will have a Last-Minute Savings Event from Dec. 18 to 24.

TL;DR: As of Nov. 6, both the 55-inch and 65-inch Roku Pro Series LX OLED TVs are back in stock at Amazon.

In exciting news for those shopping for a new TV this holiday season: Roku's new Pro Series LX OLED TVs are officially back in stock at Amazon after a very popular launch in late October.

Both the 55-inch and 65-inch models are up for grabs right now at the retailer, priced at $1,299.99 and $1,599.99, respectively. If these shiny new OLED displays have caught your attention, now is the time to make a move on them. There's every chance they could sell out again, so you'll want to be quick to click that 'add to cart' button.

There's a lot to love about Roku's latest launch. Its screen is a feast for the eyes, with a 4K OLED display that boosts colors, contrast, and brightness for a richer picture quality. It even has a system called Roku Smart Picture Max, which automatically adjusts your TV settings to fit what you're watching, plus Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos tech to further enhance picture and sound quality. On top of that, the screen features advanced glare reduction to keep reflections and lights at bay while you're using it.

Gamers can also enjoy a 144Hz refresh rate on this TV, which keeps gameplay smooth and responsive while you're immersed in the action. Even its rechargeable Roku Voice Remote Pro comes with helpful features: if you lose it, there's a remote finder button on the side of the TV that can help you track it down, even if it's lodged itself in between the couch cushions.

If you've had your eyes on the 55-inch or 65-inch Roku Pro Series LX OLED TVs, now is the time to grab them while they're still in stock at Amazon.

I've been a GNOME user for more than a decade, and I have a complicated relationship with it. I love its clean interface and workflow, but I wish it did a few things differently. I've tried several other desktop environments over the years, enjoyed some of them, and somehow always found my way back to GNOME. So when KDE celebrated its 30th birthday, I decided to revisit Plasma and see what it offers today.

If you're looking at starting a homelab, then you could be looking at using the free hardware you have in your house, whether that's an old mini PC, old desktop, or old laptop. If you need to rely on these services, that old system might not be the best idea. Old machines are great for tinkering, but they can be a bad foundation for things you need to depend on daily.

I keep running into the same annoying habit when a company announces a new model, calls it open source, and developers cheer. Then someone reads the license and finds a pile of conditions nobody mentioned in the press release that are the opposite of open source. Open source has a pretty clear history, but AI made it really blurry.

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is available for $59.99 at Amazon. That's under TCGplayer's $108.42 market price.

After weeks of building excitement and preorder wars, the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is out in the wild. And Amazon has marked the occasion by bringing back its stunning $59.99 deal.

As of Nov. 6, the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is on sale for just $59.99 on Amazon. Everything is handled directly by Amazon, but Amazon is still routing orders through its "request invite" system. We can see these are selling fast, so it's clearly a system that's working for many shoppers. Don't be discouraged by the invitation process.

Amazon’s deal is way under TCGplayer’s $108 market price. We rarely see deals this far below market price, so we understand the hype.

The 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box contains nine 30th Celebration booster packs, an exclusive full-art foil Nidorina promo card, 16 foil Basic Energy cards, 65 custom card sleeves, damage-counter dice, a condition marker, card dividers, a collector’s player guide, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

In the wake of midterm elections that were catastrophic for Republicans, do those on the right agree with Donald Trump refusing to take any of the blame?

Apparently not. In the Daily Show monologue above, host Jordan Klepper plays some clips of key figures appearing to criticise or distance themselves from the president.

"This is your guy. This is your brand. You have a decade of merch and idolatry behind him. You don't want to turn on him just because of one, little generational collapse," Klepper says. "So, time to lock in. Right-wing media, hit that reframe!"

SEE ALSO: Why Jordan Klepper thinks we're living in "dumb McCarthyism"

Cue a clip of pundits like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro also criticising Trump, followed by Megyn Kelly saying "eh" after talking about Trump sharing a post to remind America he's still president.

"Eh? Eh?" says Klepper. "Is she sassing the president? You don't sass the president unless you're Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin!"

It won't shock you that there's a superabundance of interview podcasts and internet series out there. You're probably subscribed to a bunch of content creators (perhaps those who made this year's Mashable 101) or maybe you depend on your feed to hand-deliver the most viral clips. But your time is precious, so we've rounded up the best on the internet this week.

Whether you're into deadpan showdowns, niche hot takes, or simply wholesome interviews between creative minds, here's what we reckon is worth your time (and of course, we'd never leave out Mashable's own Say More, what are you, nuts?).

Watching the pair connect while sharing and deconstructing songs from Madonna, Kelela, Groove Armada, The Avalanches, Cornelius, and more is the active listening I crave.

2. Baby, This Is Keke Palmer: Lil Jon

In one of the most moving podcast interviews of the week, Keke Palmer's interview with Lil Jon is worth watching. In the episode, the rapper unpacks grief and faith in relation to his 27-year-old son Nathan's drowning in Feb. 2026, in a conversation that Palmer treats with space and respect.

And now, for Handsome's first ever in-person guest, it's Alanis Morissette! Comedians Mae Martin, Tig Notaro, and Fortune Feimster welcomed the iconic musician to their podcast studio for a chat about her latest concert residency Butterfly with a Machete, but also got deep about hard-to-access emotions, "wholeness" vs "wellness", and the power of community when it comes to tuning into who you are.

5. Mythical Kitchen: Josh Scherer x Uncle Roger

If there's one thing Uncle Roger can't abide, it's subpar egg fried rice (Jamie Oliver would know). Same goes for the man behind the beloved internet character, creator Nigel Ng, whose own restaurants across Malaysia and London serve it up daily — and yes, Uncle Roger himself has "tested" it.

On Tuesday, Ng joined Mythical Kitchen's Josh Scherer — both as himself and as Uncle Roger in a fitting judge role — to test expensive and cheap versions of fried rice, from Panda Express ("it kind of tastes like the box," Ng says) to the pricey lobster fried rice from Tao (a "rip-off according to Uncle Roger). And there's cooking afoot, as the two put their own spins on the dish — Ng's cookbook is quite literally titled Don't Mess Up Your Rice, so pay attention.*

TL;DR: Gopuff launched weekly limited-quantity Pokémon card drops starting Nov. 6, releasing collector packs and single-card deals delivered in as fast as 15 minutes every Friday at 3 p.m. ET.

Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Gopuff Pokémon Card Drops   Learn More at Gopuff

Buying Pokémon cards at retail stores usually means dealing with picked-over shelves, strict box limits, or waiting days for an online delivery. Instant-delivery app Gopuff is trying something different: scheduled weekly hype drops delivered straight to your door in minutes.

Starting Nov. 6, Gopuff is running a six-week series of scheduled Pokémon Trading Card Game drops. Rather than restocking cards at random, the platform uses a dedicated in-app storefront where you can preview upcoming products, set alerts, and order packs delivered locally in as little as 15 minutes, alongside regular household items.

Why trading cards are hitting quick-delivery apps

The move comes as demand for physical collectibles spikes on rapid-delivery platforms. Gopuff says its trading card sales jumped 335% between Q4 2025 and Q3 2026, leading the company to treat card restocks as scheduled shopping events.

The weekly drops will feature sought-after items at competitive prices, including the Mega Evolution Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box and the 30th Celebration Poster Collection.

For collectors hunting singles, each drop also includes a "Hit of the Week" run in partnership with Card Vault by Tom Brady. Every Friday, Gopuff will offer a single high-value, graded card at a price below market value. With only one available each week, snagging it comes down to whoever checks out first.

How the weekly drop schedule works

To give shoppers a predictable window to buy before stock sells out, each week follows the same schedule in the Gopuff app and on its website:

• Monday: A homepage countdown timer goes live, signaling the start of a new batch without revealing the specific cards.

• Thursday at 3 p.m. ET: Exactly 24 hours before the sale, Gopuff reveals the products. You can preview the lineup, set push alerts, and pre-load items into your cart so you are ready at checkout.

• Friday at 3 p.m. ET: The drop unlocks and checkout opens. Orders are fulfilled from nearby micro-fulfillment hubs and delivered in as fast as 15 minutes.

All items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last, and local stock and purchase limits will vary by location.

Just make sure your internet connection is quick — when that clock hits 3 p.m. ET, it is every trainer for themselves. To check out upcoming products or set drop alerts, head to Gopuff's website or open the app on iOS or Android.

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easier if you know your athletes.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight, and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections: Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. The sports Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words, and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes before the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Donald Trump is fond of saying "promises made, promises kept", but how does that actually compare to the U.S. president's track record?

Jimmy Kimmel has the answer. "We put together a refresher of the 10 biggest promises the president has failed to fulfil so far," the host says in the monologue above.

Cue a countdown of 10 things Trump has said he'll do that haven't come to pass — from ending inflation and getting food prices down to settling the Russia/Ukraine war and paying down the national debt. Oh dear.

Amazon just rolled out early Pokémon Black Friday deals on a massive collection of Pokémon DVDs. If you want to lock down your favorite eras on physical discs before the holiday shopping rush kicks off, now is a great time to grab them while they're on discount.

If you were holding out for a stack of high-definition Blu-rays, standard HD releases never actually existed for the earlier seasons because of how the anime was originally created. The vast majority of the series remains strictly DVD-only, making the remastered Season 1 release the lone standout Blu-ray discount in the mix.

If you are ready to trade endless streaming app searches for a permanent spot on your media shelf, Amazon has marked down several fan-favorite generations to well under $20. We rounded up the best discounts from the sale.

After wrapping up his initial Kanto adventures, Ash reunites with Misty and Brock to take on the Johto League. Pokémon: The Johto Journeys kicks off this fan-favorite era, following the trio as Ash tackles new gym leaders and catches beloved Gen 2 staples like Totodile, Chikorita, and Cyndaquil.

Across four discs and over 15 hours of runtime, this 41-episode collection captures the sweet spot of early-2000s Saturday-morning cartoons.

Picking up right after the introductory Johto arc, Pokémon: Johto League Champions tracks the heart of Ash, Misty, and Brock's travels through the region. From navigating the busy streets of Goldenrod City to taking on iconic gym challenges like Whitney's notoriously tough Miltank, Season 4 delivers some of the most memorable battles and classic encounters of the Gen 2 era.

The collection covers 52 episodes, giving you over 20 hours of vintage Pokémon animation that never made the jump to standard high-definition discs. If you are revisiting Ash's path toward the Silver Conference, this is the middle chapter that ties the Johto saga together.

'Pokémon Advanced' (DVD) Opens in a new window Credit: Pokémon / VIZ Media Pokémon Advanced (DVD) $19.99 at Amazon

Season 6 marks a brand-new era for the anime, taking Ash and Pikachu far across the sea to the Hoenn region. Pokémon Advanced shakes up the classic travel dynamic by saying goodbye to Misty and introducing May, her little brother Max, and the ever-reliable Brock. It also brings Pokémon Contests into the spotlight for the first time, giving the story a dual focus as Ash works toward Hoenn Gym Badges while May learns the ropes of being a Pokémon Coordinator.

Spread across five discs with nearly 15 hours of runtime, this 40-episode collection captures the vibrant, tropical Gen 3 adventure in its original broadcast format. If you grew up exploring the Hoenn map or want to relive the early days of Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip, it's a nice nostalgic shelf piece.

'Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl' (DVD) Opens in a new window Credit: Pokémon / VIZ Media Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl (DVD) $19.99 at Amazon

Season 10 takes the adventure up north as Ash and Pikachu head to Sinnoh, reuniting with Brock and teaming up with novice Pokémon Coordinator Dawn. Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl revitalizes the show's dual-protagonist dynamic, splitting screen time between Ash's quest for Sinnoh Gym Badges and Dawn's drive to match her mother's contest legacy, while introducing Gen 4 favorites like Piplup, Turtwig, and Chimchar.

Spanning seven discs and nearly 19 hours of runtime, this 51-episode collection delivers one of the most balanced, character-driven story arcs in the anime's long run. Between the classic Sinnoh gym battles and Ash's clash of philosophies with Paul, it is easily one of the most rewarding retro eras to own on physical media.

Pokémon: Indigo League follows 10-year-old Ash Ketchum on his very first day as a Pokémon Trainer, oversleeping, missing out on the standard starter choices, and ending up stuck with an unruly, disobedient Pikachu. Alongside Brock and Misty, Ash battles gym leaders across Kanto, befriends classics like Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, and takes his first shot at the Pokémon League tournament.

Packed onto nine discs with nearly 31 hours of total runtime, this massive 78-episode box set gives you the complete initial journey. While the remastered Blu-ray edition offers sharper picture quality, it caps out at 52 episodes — making this comprehensive DVD release the only home video set that delivers the full Kanto arc from start to finish.

Cybertruck, the pricey, gargantuan, angular, steel-plated pickup darling of Elon Musk's, never sold very well. And now, Tesla appears to be ready to accept that fact.

On Friday, CEO Musk said on X that the company will be "winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Musk didn't say whether the Cybertruck production will move somewhere else, and he didn't explicitly say it's the end of the road for Tesla's pickup. But the clues are pretty clear. First of all, the Cybertruck is exclusively produced at Gigafactory Texas. If the company doesn't relocate somewhere else, which is unlikely given that the Cybertruck has a stainless steel body that presents unique manufacturing demands, then the Cybertruck has less than a year left.

Add to that the fact that Tesla recently canceled the Cybertruck launch in Australia and New Zealand, as well as continuous reports of poor sales ever since the Cybertruck went on sale in 2023, and it's pretty obvious that Tesla is giving up on the pickup.

The move also lines up with Musk's recent total focus on self-driving. When the company unveiled the new Tesla Roadster in October, he said it would be the last manually driven car that Tesla will ever produce.

It is no wonder, then, that the manufacturing capacities used for the Cybertruck will be repurposed for the Cybercab, Tesla's autonomous taxi car.

As for customers looking for a manually driven electric pickup, the choice is actually improving. Slate recently launched an affordable electric pickup, Ford is working on its own cheap electric pickup called Fathom, and Rivian is launching its mid-size pickup, the Rivian R2T, next year.
