In case you haven’t noticed, life has become expensive lately. From eggs to gas to pretty much everything in between, the cost of living has skyrocketed, leaving many of us feeling the pinch. Luckily, even as inflation squeezes our budgets, there are still opportunities to find great deals, especially with Amazon and its never-ending sales.

Right now, we’re covering the Amazon Big Spring Sale, which officially started on March 25. While the main event is underway, there are tons of deals under $25 that are worth grabbing.

The Tile by Life360 Mate (2024) Bluetooth Tracker is only $17.99 right now, down from its usual $24.99 price tag. That’s 28% off the list price and the lowest price we’ve seen for this model in recent months.

Pedro Pascal explains his very intense coffee order

Mashable - Tue, 03/25/2025 - 13:56

Pedro Pascal is not happy that his mildly unhinged morning coffee order is out in the world.

"I cannot begin to tell you how violating this was," says the Last of Us star in the Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip above, commenting on a photo that was taken of him where people zoomed in on the coffee order receipt in his hand — revealing a solid six shots of espresso.

"There's so much context to why it has become six shots of espresso. It was always a quad, but then I feel like the cups got bigger, and – I don't know – the shots got less strong and at some point it became six, and it was an incredibly private morning ritual that I never wanted anyone to know about. I don't have more coffee for the rest of the day, I swear," Pascal says. "It's on ice, you sip it, you get really high, and you answer emails and stuff."

Now let's put the matter to rest and allow the man to enjoy his six shots in peace.

Jon Stewart roasts Trump cabinet for leaking its own military plans via group chat

Mashable - Tue, 03/25/2025 - 13:00

It sounds like the kind of thing that would only happen in a political comedy show, but the Trump administration really did leak military plans to The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg by mistakenly adding him to a group chat.

"Oopsie poopsie!" says Jon Stewart in the Daily Show clip above. "Back in my day, if you were a journalist that wanted leaked war documents you'd work the sources, meet them in a dark garage, earn the trust, pound the pavement...now, you just wait for the national security advisor to be distracted by White Lotus while he's setting up his 'bomb Yemen' group chat."

Stewart goes on to say that his favourite part of the leaked chat was a comment from defence secretary Pete Hegseth, who reportedly wrote, "We are currently clear on OPSEC."

"For those of you who don't know, OPSEC means operational security," says Stewart. "He said that in a group chat. A group chat with a journalist."

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit.

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 of 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 until the game ends.

NYT Strands hints, answers for March 25

Mashable - Tue, 03/25/2025 - 12:15

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

Bone conduction technology transmits sound through vibrations directly to the inner ear via the cheekbones, bypassing the eardrum, and increasing your spatial awareness. So you can run, walk, or do any activity with accompanying music, but you can still hear what is going on around you in the outside world.

The SHOKZ OpenRun Pro headphones are an earbud-free design with a lightweight, wraparound frame and open-ear fit. They use incredible 9th-generation bone conduction technology to deliver high-quality audio while keeping your ears open to your surroundings. They also have an IP55 waterproof rating, so they’re sweatproof and work for runs or walks in the rain. The battery life will keep you listening for up to 10 hours, and a quick five-minute charge will top you up with an hour and a half of extra playtime.

This is a great option in Amazon's Big Spring Sale, so don't miss out.
