AI has loomed large in the realm of love in 2025. And it's set to loom even larger in 2026, according to a major sex toy retailer's predictions for the year ahead.

Twenty-five percent of Gen Z and 26 percent of millennials have already spoken to AI about sex, per the TwentyTwentySex report by Lovehoney, the UK's leading sexual wellness retailer.

In fact, more people are turning to AI for advice (52 percent) over speaking to their friends (32 percent) or their partners (22 percent), according to the brand, which surveyed 2,022 nationally representative respondents.

People are treating AI as their sex therapists, per the report. Interestingly, the data shows that young men are more likely to have spoken to AI about sex (30 percent of Gen Z men and 34 percent of millennial men). While getting a bit of sex advice from ChatGPT might sound harmless, experts warn against using AI as a therapist, stating that the risks of doing so (like it becoming a harmful feedback loop) are not worth it.

Lovehoney's report states that "2026 is expected to mark a major shift in how we seek guidance, validation, and connection." The sex toy brand is calling this trend "digital threesomes," although I don't think that means anyone will be jumping into bed with an LLM anytime soon.

At the same time, daters are also shifting their love lives away from the digital realm, turning instead to real-life connections. We've seen the rise of offline dating events, with singles flocking to singles' nights, including speed dating, coffee shop dates, run clubs, and many more activity-based socials.

Lovehoney states that "with dating app fatigue at an all-time high, more singles will turn to real-world connections." Thirty percent of Gen Z have met a sexual or romantic partner through dating apps, compared with 35 percent of millennials.

Sexologist Elisabeth Neumann, head of user research at Lovehoney, said: “With dating apps in decline, we're seeing the return of analogue intimacy, from office romances to speed-dating nights."

"This trend could unfold in stark contrast to technological advancements, with technology itself seducing us through AI dating coaches, digital threesomes, and fantasy-fuelled escapism."

Motorola already has a foldable on the market with the revived Razr, a flip phone-style foldable, but rumor has it the mobile company has more coming soon.

Motorola sent a physical invite to Android Central in the mail that heavily suggests a book-style foldable, perhaps similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series (and eventually the long-rumored iPhone Fold), will debut at CES 2026 in January.

The big tells in the package are a small folding book with a wooden finish (the Motorola Razr Ultra was available with a wood finish as well), and a card that rather unsubtly says "We're getting ready to unfold new perspectives at Lenovo Tech World," which is a CES-adjacent showcase on Jan. 6 in Las Vegas.

SEE ALSO: All the foldable phones you can buy in 2025: Are these smartphones finally worth buying?

There isn't much more to the invite than that, but it's still enough to make the mind wander a bit.

Motorola has been steadily releasing clamshell-style Razr foldables for a few years now, but it has yet to dip into the Z Fold-esque world of book-style foldables. Both kinds of devices fill different market niches, so it makes sense that Motorola would want to expand its customer base.

We're only a few weeks away from finding out, at any rate.

Reddit is suing the Australian government over its newly enacted social media ban, which prevents children aged 16 and younger from accessing most social media platforms.

Reddit argued that the ban impinges on the right to free political discourse implied by the country's constitution, according to a Reuters report. In essence, blocking the youths from Reddit would block their freedom of speech, the company said. Reddit also argued that it was not, primarily speaking, a social media site, but rather a place for exchanging information and ideas.

"Reddit enables online interactions about the content that users post on the site. It facilitates knowledge sharing from one user to other users," the filing reads, via the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

The filing added:

"It is not a significant purpose of the site to enable interactions engaged in because of a particular user's relationship with or interest in another user as a person; indeed, in most cases, the identity of a user on Reddit is not even known to other users."

The social media ban went into effect on Wednesday, pulling children's access to sites like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Reddit, and more. Most platforms complied with the ban by blocking access to any account with a user 16 and under — though, of course, that's a relatively easy barrier to dodge for tech-savvy young people. But it would, perhaps, keep kids from unfettered access to algorithmic suggestions.

SEE ALSO: Australia's banning social media for kids this week. Here's how it's being enforced.

"Delaying children's access to social media accounts gives them valuable time to learn and grow, free of the powerful, unseen forces of harmful and deceptive design features such as opaque algorithms and endless scroll," said Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant in a statement last month. 

SAVE $339.99: Through Dec. 23, Verizon will give new home internet customers a free Nintendo Switch console as part of their holiday deals. Here are all the details you need to know to qualify.

Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Free Nintendo Switch console with select new Verizon home internet plans Get Deal

You can typically find some pretty sweet gaming console deals around the holidays. But even the biggest discounts on record can't beat free.

If you're in the market for new home internet service, Verizon will give you a gift by signing up for select plans: a free Nintendo Switch, which is a $339.99 value. Already own a Nintendo Switch? Use the free console as a gift for someone else in your life or choose another one of Verizon's free holiday offers: a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G tablet or a 43-inch Samsung Q7F QLED 4K TV. The console offer is only live through Dec. 23 and supplies are limited, so if you like free stuff (who doesn't?), be sure to secure your Nintendo Switch in the next week and a half. The Samsung tablet and TV offers must be redeemed by Jan. 7, so you'll have a bit more time to decide.

So, what's the catch? Well, you can't just sign up for Verizon home internet and then cancel. New home internet customers will need to activate/install and keep eligible Fios 2 Gig, Fios 1 Gig, 5G Home Ultimate, or LTE Home Plus plans in good standing for 14 days and redeem the offer within 60 days in order to secure their free gift. If you do cancel your service within 180 days, Verizon will charge you the full retail value of whichever promotional device you chose — up to $599.99.

How to get your free Nintendo Switch

Head over to Verizon's Deals page and enter your address to check whether Verizon home internet service is available in your area. If it is, scroll down to the home internet deals and select the Nintendo Switch (or whichever one you prefer). Choose a Fios, 5G Home Ultimate, or LTE Home Plus internet plan, which start at just $35 per month, activate, and keep it in good standing. Redeem your offer within 60 days and a Nintendo Switch will appear on your doorstep.

Notable Nintendo Switch deals

If you snag a free Nintendo Switch and aren't sure which games to grab to kickoff your gaming journey, two Fall 2025 releases just went on sale for the first time: Final Fantasy Tactics and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. The Grinch Christmas Adventures is also 50% off if you're in the holiday spirit. Check out Mashable's Nintendo Switch hub for any new notable deals we recommend.

I want to share something personal with you. It’s about my mom, who is my best friend, my biggest cheerleader, and my safe place.

She passed away this past May. And every day since, I’ve found myself reaching for the things she left behind. Not jewelry, or clothes, or designer bags. But her voice. Her laugh. Her smile.

Growing up, our bond was unshakable. The holidays were our time. We had this holiday tradition where we would head to Fifth Avenue. We’d shop until our arms ached, bags swinging from our wrists, before heading to Bergdorf Goodman for dinner. It was our little luxury, sitting across from each other, tired but happy. Sharing food. Swapping stories. Telling each other "I love you," like it was breathing.

Credit: Ty Cole

Here’s the thing: the most important piece of her I carry with me today almost didn't happen.

Two or three years ago, I didn’t even have my voicemail set up. As a millennial, it just felt… unnecessary. My Aunt Tanya called one day and asked me why it wasn’t on. I shrugged it off. 

"Tyler, turn it on," she said. "People want to leave you a message."

So I did. And this year, since my mother passed, one of my most treasured possessions has become my saved voicemails of her saying "happy birthday" and "I love you." I can hear her any time I need her.

I have our final text thread with her telling me she will love me forever. And I believe her.

We took photos together. We made videos. Silly little clips while she lays in her bed. Selfies and photos in the middle of crowded stores. Random snaps of her laughing at something I said. Those moments… they’re everything now. They’re proof that she was here, that we were here, that love like ours existed.

Credit: Ty Cole

She taught me strength. She taught me resilience. She taught me how to keep going when the world feels like it’s stopped. And in the moments when I feel lost, her voice and our memories are the map that leads me back to myself. They remind me: everything will be okay.

That’s why I’m telling you to use every tool you have to make memories. Take the picture, even if your hair’s not done. Record the video, even if it’s only ten seconds. Save the voicemail. Keep the texts. Don’t wait for the perfect moment; make it perfect because you’re in it together.

The holidays are a time to rejoice in your own way. For some of us, that’s loud celebrations. For others, it’s quiet reflection. But for all of us, it should be about savoring the people we love while we can.

So the next time you’re with the ones who matter most, capture it, because one day those images, videos, and voicemails might be the lifeline that pulls you through your hardest days.

For me, they’re the reason I can still hear my mom say, "I love you." And that’s something I’ll hold onto forever.

While chastity reigned as 2025's fetish of the year, the explicit site Clips4Sale has a new frontrunner — and it's practically the opposite: gooning. It's the act of edging for hours or even days while watching porn, so much so that participants enter a hypnotic state (aptly called the "goon state").

Sales of gooning videos have spiked 151 percent since November 2023 on Clips4Sale, according to a blog post shared with Mashable — and 49 percent in the past six months alone. It's the fastest-growing fetish on the site.

SEE ALSO: 10 fastest-growing fetishes of 2025 so far Credit: Clips4Sale

The phenomenon has entered our cultural lexicon in recent years, as seen by a similar trajectory on Google Search. "Gooning" accounted for nearly one million searches in the past month, and since 2023, it has soared in search rankings.

Credit: Glimpse / Google Trends

"Gooning isn't JUST about masturbation! It involves overstimulation of the senses, bright color, exposure to stimuli (porn) at an excessive amount and exaggeration in visuals, demands, etc," performer Master Celestress, who's been creating gooning content since 2019, stated in a press release shared with Mashable.

"There's a psychological aspect to gooning that I feel is overlooked. It became a buzzword where jerking off equals gooning and nope, it's not!" she continued. "Gooning is more of a state of mind than anything else!"

The rise of gooning has occurred at the same time as an increased scrutiny of the porn industry and online speech. Age-verification laws, which typically require personal data like a government ID or a facial scan to view such content, have been enacted in half of U.S. states and other countries like the UK and France. And in the U.S., several bills have been introduced this year to ban porn (though none have been passed). Despite widespread disapproval of porn, gooning — which takes porn viewing and masturbation to another level — has prevailed.

"Gooning is the perfect fetish for our sex-and-tech obsessed culture," Clips4Sale spokesperson Avery Martin said in the press release. "It's an embrace of radical pleasure at a time of reactionary sexual politics. In the midst of moral panics about porn and technology, gooners have reclaimed both to turn the narrative on its head, embracing an almost religious pursuit of pleasure. In the past year, creators have seized on the moment and are creating incredible, and incredibly creative, content to feed this large and voracious audience."

Meanwhile, giantess, which was Clips4Sale's 2024 fetish of the year, was the most searched for fetish in the U.S. in 2025. Wrestling, tickling, vore, and ballbusting followed it in the top five.

While Black Friday, one of the absolute best time of the year to buy a laptop, is technically long over, one of our favorite deals from the shopping event has resurfaced. Long live the $749 MacBook Air deal.

As of Dec. 12, the 13-inch Apple M4 MacBook Air with the M4 chip, 16GB RAM and 256GBG of storage is back down to just $749 at Amazon and Best Buy. That's $250 or 25% off its list price of $999 and its lowest price on record. It's hardly the first time it's dropped to this record-low price, but we still consider it one of the best deals you can get on an Apple laptop. Better yet, if you purchase from Best Buy, you'll also get a $25 e-gift card to spend on a future Best Buy purchase.

While the 15-inch version is our top pick for most people, the 13-inch version still holds a high ranking on our list of the best MacBooks — particularly for students looking for a laptop with longevity. Besides the ultra-low cost, we love the M4 MacBook Air for its processing power, improved 12MP FaceTime camera, and open-lid support for two external displays, which still allows you to use its own screen even when it's hooked up to monitors. So long as you don't need the more advanced specs of the MacBook Pro for demanding tasks like video editing or graphic design work, the M4 Air will treat you wonderfully.

Other than more screen real estate, the larger 15-inch model adds two extra speakers and a slightly better GPU. But it'll also cost you an extra $250. If the lowest priced MacBook is what you're after, the 13-inch M4 Air is a no-brainer.

It's been well over three years since Euphoria aired its season 2 finale, but we finally have our first look at footage from Season 3.

The clips are part of HBO Max's sizzle reel for their 2026 slate, which also includes Westeros-set series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon, DC series Lanterns, and the return of Emmy-winning medical drama The Pitt.

SEE ALSO: Netflix and Paramount's bidding war over Warner Bros, explained

In the Euphoria trailer, narration from Rue (Zendaya) reveals that it's been several years since high school. "I don't know if life was exactly what I wished," she says.

Cue snapshots of where Euphoria's cast — many of whom have been minted as movie stars since Season 2 ended — are now. At an event in London, Euphoria creator Sam Levinson revealed key plot points following the show's five year time jump. Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) are engaged and living in the suburbs, which fails to explain why she's dressed as a dog in the teaser. Jules (Hunter Schafer) is in art school, while Maddy (Alexa Demie) and Lexi (Maude Apatow) are climbing the ranks in Hollywood.

As for Rue herself, she's in a lot of trouble. Still in debt to drug trafficker Laurie (Martha Kelly) from Season 2, she's headed to Mexico to pay off what she owes. Based on the snippets from the sizzle reel, she's in for a bumpy ride.

Check out the full trailer above to brace yourself for whatever Euphoria throws at us next. Plus, catch glimpses of other upcoming HBO series, like Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd's new show Half-Man and Steve Carell comedy Rooster.

Apple's AirTag tracking device is pretty easy to find when it's standing still, but it might soon become easier to track when on the move, too.

Macworld has inspected a leaked version of internal iOS 26 code and found several references related to a new version of the AirTag.

Nearly all of the upgrades are related to AirTag's key trait: the owner's ability to find exactly where it is.

SEE ALSO: Apple 'HomePad' specs revealed in new leak

A new feature reportedly called Improved Moving indicates that it might get easier to track an AirTag when it's on the move. Another unnamed feature could improve tracking the AirTag in crowded places.

The leaked code also indicates Apple is planning to improve Precision Finding, a feature that lets you exactly pinpoint the AirTag's location when in close proximity.

Other improvements include better pairing, and detailed battery level reporting.

It's unclear whether all of these improvements are coming to existing AirTags via a software update (likely in the first half of next year), or whether they're related to an entirely new version of AirTag. A new AirTag with a new ultra-wideband chip has been rumored for a while, so we're betting on the latter.

Bryan Fuller is a master of blending weirdness and whimsy, having created shows like Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me. Fitting, then, that his feature directorial debut, Dust Bunny, brings together Amblin inspirations and Hannibal's menacing leading man, Mads Mikkelsen.

SEE ALSO: 'Dust Bunny' review: Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver team up for gnarly fairy tale

Dust Bunny centers on young Aurora (Sophie Sloan), who is plagued by a monstrous, 12-foot-tall dust bunny that she insists has eaten her parents. So, naturally, she asks for the help of her neighbor, a mysterious man that she has discerned is a hitman. And naturally, he is played by Mikkelsen.

In Mashable's Say More interview, Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko spoke with Fuller and Mikkelsen about the road from Hannibal to Dust Bunny, what it was like working together again, and about the prospect of a Pushing Daisies resurrection. Fuller also had the opportunity to take credit for introducing the world to Lee Pace, as he first cast him on 2004's Wonderfalls, then as the lead of 2007's Pushing Daisies.

Be sure to check out the full interview on YouTube for more, including Mikkelsen's experience working with Sigourney Weaver, the film's deep-cut allusions, and whether or not this R-rated movie is appropriate for kids. (Spoiler: Both Fuller and Mikkelsen disagree with the MPAA rating!)

You can even customize it by adding flowers from other sets in the Botanicals collection to the vase, which is a fun touch.

While the Sonos Ace headphones boast Active Noise Cancellation, for those who love to be fully immersed in what they're listening to, sound quality is where they really shine. Our review from Mashable's Miller Kern said, "Audio quality is Sonos’s wheelhouse and where the Ace headphones rise above competitors." They also boast Dolby Atmos and spatial audio, which Kern says of the latter is "immersive in a way I haven’t experienced from other headphones." On top of that, they offer up to 30 hours of battery with Active Noise Cancellation on.

Writer-director Rian Johnson hits the books to craft the locked room mystery of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and so does the Spring Book Club of the film's church. And if you're quick, you'll spy an entire whodunnit reading list onscreen to add to your TBR pile.

There's a scene crucial to debonair detective Benoit Blanc's (Daniel Craig) investigation into the "stuff of detective fiction" murder at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, in which accused priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O'Connor) helps him rifle through the parish office for clues. They find one, a simple piece of paper.

On the page, the priest and the detective find a list of the church's book club titles, and the parishioners seem to be having quite the classic whodunnit mystery binge. Not only does the list include the key "syllabus of how to commit the perfect crime," John Dickson Carr's The Hollow Man, but there's also enough Agatha Christie and Edgar Allan Poe to make an impossible crime seem possible.

Here's everything on the Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude book club list — and there's some pretty major ties to the murder at the heart of Wake Up Dead Man (but no spoilers).

American author John Dickson Carr's 1935 mystery novel, The Hollow Man, featuring his recurring investigator protagonist Gideon Fell, has become synonymous with determining the elements of an impossible crime. In Chapter 17, the detective gives his famous "locked room lecture" directly to the reader, detailing "the general mechanics" of how a murder — like, say, that of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin) — could be committed in seemingly impossible circumstances. In fact, Blanc himself uses this book to solve the case in Wake Up Dead Man, dubbing it "a syllabus of how to commit the perfect crime."

Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers Credit: Mashable / Warber Classics

Published in 1923, the spectacularly named Whose Body? is the first of English crime novelist Dorothy L. Sayers' 14-book detective series. It introduces the iconic Lord Peter Wimsey, Sayers' aristocratic amateur detective. His first case? A London financier is murdered and left in a bathtub, naked but for a golden pince-nez. Hear that Wake Up Dead Man viewers? A bathtub.

The Murders In The Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe Credit: Mashable / Vintage Classics

Netflix titles love a bit of Edgar Allan Poe, from Wednesday to The Fall of the House of Usher. In Wake Up Dead Man, there's a famous title from the American writer on the list, 1841 short story The Murders in the Rue Morgue. The tale features the first appearance of the character regarded as the first fictional detective, Poe's great C. Auguste Dupin, who had immeasurable impact on one Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his own detective, Sherlock Holmes. The investigator is faced with a locked-door mystery, a brutal and grisly double murder with the last killer you'd ever suspect.

Who among you crime fiction fiends doesn't know Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie's famous Belgian, moustachioed detective or Miss Marple, her famous elderly, English, amateur detective. The British writer has two titles on the Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude book club list, starring her leading investigators. Published in 1926, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is an absolute masterpiece of a twisty crime novel, with Poirot pulled away from his vegetable garden to solve the murder of a wealthy widower. There's blackmail, clandestine meetings, mysterious footprints, and yes, the crime scene is a locked room.

Miss Marple's first appearance was in Christie's 1930 novel The Murder at the Vicarage, a murder mystery set in the small English town parish of St Mary Mead — big Wake Up Dead Man vibes. In this whodunnit, the town's local magistrate and churchwarden is widely hated by everyone in the village — and then he turns up dead in his study. Everyone has a motive, and no one is safe from the watchful eye of Miss Marple.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is streaming on Netflix Dec. 12.

Donald Trump has launched Gold Cards, a method for rich people to pay $1 million to get a fast-track visa to the U.S. — and Jimmy Kimmel has thoughts.

"This is a card that will allow wealthy foreigners to live here. For a million bucks you get legal visitor status, you get a pathway to citizenship, and a presidential pardon for one major crime of your choosing," Kimmel jokes in the clip above. "It might be time to update that inscription on the Statue of Liberty. Never mind your poor and tired, give us a million bucks, you're in."

The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host goes on to play footage of Trump's Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, speaking to Fox about how the cards will bring "the best people" to America.

"That's right, the best people are the rich people," says Kimmel. "It's what Jesus always said. It's in the Bible, he says it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle if you pay the needle a million dollars. Rich people are the finest people there are, that's why God made them rich. And I say it's about time our immigration system ran like the rewards program at one of Trump's bankrupted casinos."
