Uh oh, there's a new trend on TikTok, and this one's sad.

The white rabbit TikTok trend is all about your life turning upside down. Think: footage of a ballet dancer followed by them experiencing a horrible accident, or footage of a wedding followed by footage of a divorce, or footage of my cat following a laser pointer across the wall followed by footage of a dead battery.

The videos are usually set to the tune of a clock ticking and some soft piano coming in later. Nearly 180,000 videos have been made using the audio, some with text over the first clip that says, "the day before the rabbit got me," or "48 hours before that stupid rabbit got me," or simply, "that damn white rabbit." Sometimes it's followed by the aftermath; often, it isn't.

It's a reference to the white rabbit in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, whose trickery and general vibe turn everything upside down.

Remember when a 100-inch TV was something you'd only see in a millionaire's home theater on MTV Cribs? (Definitely dating myself here, but some of you have to remember this, right?) They were hard to come by and basically cost the same as a used Honda Civic. The fact that you can now get a 100-inch QLED TV for under $1,300 is genuinely wild.

As of Nov. 17, the Hisense 100-inch Class QD6 Series QLED 4K Smart Fire TV is on sale for $1,299.99 at Amazon. That's $700 off its $1,999.99 list price. According to our trusty price tracker, CamelCamelCamel, this is the lowest price it's ever seen. Just last week, it was getting attention for dropping to $1,498, and this new "Limited time deal" beats that by another $200.

This TV features a QLED panel with Quantum Dot color for over a billion shades, a native 144Hz refresh rate, and AMD FreeSync Premium. For gamers, that means super smooth, lag-free gameplay, which is a high-end feature for this price.

It's also a Fire TV, so the smart interface is built in, and it comes with an Alexa voice remote. It supports both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, too. The main "catch" here isn't a feature; it's the logistics. This is a 100-inch TV. You're going to need help getting it inside, so definitely check the dimensions (and maybe select Amazon's "Room of Choice Delivery").

Karen Oren, a cofounder of the wedding stationery brand The Ceremony Club, uses ChatGPT for every part of her wedding.

"I get advice from ChatGPT sometimes," said Oren, who's getting married next year. While she has a human wedding planner, she still utilizes the LLM — especially after work hours. "Those late-night conversations at 10 p.m., scrolling through Instagram, getting inspiration, I use ChatGPT with [that] inspiration," she told Mashable. An example is inputting wedding dresses she likes and her budget, and asking ChatGPT to find boutiques near her.

SEE ALSO: Couples are using ChatGPT to fight now

"I make it work hard for me," she joked.

Oren isn't alone. Since ChatGPT launched, people have utilized it in their relationships — to write flirty messages, to win fights, and now to plan their nuptials. Across Reddit and Instagram, couples are sharing how they're using ChatGPT and other AI tools for wedding planning. 

From wedding advice to graphics

"There are so many different blogs and Reddit threads and websites that you can go through for advice, and it's kind of nice to have a streamlined version of what you're looking for with links to different pages to kind of like get exactly what you need," said Alessandra, a bride who got married last month. (She requested to be referred to by her first name only.)

In addition to ChatGPT, Alessandra told Mashable she used Gemini search and the image generator Midjourney while planning her wedding. She used a combination of the latter and Canva to make her cocktail menus. She got specific about how she wanted the specialty drinks to look (three espresso beans on an espresso martini, and a Tajín rim on a margarita) and a hand-drawn style. Since she has a paid Midjourney subscription through her job, she figured she'd use the tools she had as opposed to paying someone on Etsy or trying to make it totally herself.

Rachel, the person behind the hand-drawn stationery Etsy business PipiPrintables, told Mashable that while AI is great for many things, she doesn't believe it can replicate artistic talent. 

"It can try to mimic, but it doesn’t have the same authentic look and feel," she said. Understandably, though, cost is a major factor, and some people are willing to forgo the aesthetics of real hand-drawn art. "I think, like most things, there is a place and market for both."

Illustrator and graphic designer Sasa Khalisa echoed the sentiment. AI can help couples who are tight on budget and time, she said. For couples who pay more attention to their wedding aesthetics, she believes they'd steer away from AI images "as it tends to generate generic or flawed images" — known colloquially as "AI slop." 

[AI] can try to mimic, but it doesn’t have the same authentic look and feel - Etsy business PipiPrintables

Khalisa has seen changes in her business since the onset of AI, including the rise of ready-made templates. She's diversified her business in response by selling digital graphic assets on top of custom-made invitations and portraits to adapt to the changes. 

Physical memories in the AI age

Like basically every other industry out there, AI has also impacted other vendors in the wedding industry.

Wedding photographer and planner Lynea D'Aprix told Mashable she believes competition within the industry will get tougher because of AI, but also believes the results will be "better businesses doing a better job supporting couples."

AI can help reduce busywork and save money, D'Aprix continued, but she noted there are large caveats — including formulaic content.

"AI is helpful, but it is still quite outdated when it comes to wedding information, especially, and it is generic," she said. "If couples opt for using AI, I encourage them to double-check their work with a professional. At the end of the day, AI is just a tool."

She believes couples are equally divided in their feelings about using AI. Some are excited, others are concerned about the impacts. "I've noticed the couples that are open to it are already utilizing it for their jobs," she said, "so it's natural to them to use it for their personal life as well."

That's the case with both Alessandra and Oren. Oren and her sister Leore, the other cofounder of The Ceremony Club, also use ChatGPT in their business. Leore called it their third and fourth employee. "We have a lot of work on our plate all the time, so it just helps get things moving," she told Mashable. "We are a small team, so it does really help us." They said they use it for tasks such as resourcing, development, and photo editing.

The Ceremony Club sells physical memorabilia, such as photo albums and keepsake boxes. And while the sisters use ChatGPT in their business and personal lives, they also acknowledge the pull young adults have away from technology.

"We actually notice that people are kind of sick of their phones and sick of technology," Karen said. "So it's nice to have an option that you're not looking at a screen."

"I think that a big inspiration for [wedding photo albums] was kind of bringing back a nostalgic thing that we all had in our homes, which was our parents' photo albums," Leore said. "So I feel like there are certain things that new technology can't really compete with."

An 85-inch screen is more than enough for most people (and probably too much for some), but this is not just a big screen. It has a 144 Hz Variable Refresh Rate, making the TCL Q6 a strong choice for watching sports, streaming new shows, and of course, gaming. The Dolby Atmos Audio and DTS Virtual:X also provide advanced spatial audio processing for a deeper level of immersion. That's good enough for us, especially at under $900.

Josh O’Connor stands accused of an impossible crime in Rian Johnson's latest Knives Out film, with a new trailer out today.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery sees dapper detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) on his toughest case yet, following The Glass Onion. In a small town in upstate New York, Monsignor Wicks (Josh Brolin) ends up dead, and it's a locked room mystery worthy of fictional case-crackers from Sherlock Holmes to Jonathan Creek.

The prime suspect? Newcomer priest Jud Duplenticy (O'Connor), who swears he didn't do it. Could it be him? Or one of the star-studded cast? Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, Daryl McCormack, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Cailee Spaeny, Jeremy Renner, and Thomas Haden Church are also on the bill.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will open in select cinemas on Nov. 26, then debut on Netflix on Dec. 12.

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult to solve if you love the NBA.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. 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 today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. 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.

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.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're an animal lover.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, 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.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

Black Friday usually runs in the latter stages of November, but retailers have been dropping deals earlier and earlier over recent years. This is good news for shoppers looking to score some sweet savings before the holidays. Woot is one such retailer offering excellent discounts right now, including up to 57% off a selection of Samsung sound systems.

As of Nov. 17, Woot (an Amazon-owned online retailer) is offering discounts on five popular Samsung systems. So whether you're looking to drop some cash on a larger setup — like a Samsung soundbar, subwoofer, and rear speaker setup — or a soundbar and subwoofer bundle, Woot has quite a few options to check out right now.

SEE ALSO: Walmart Black Friday ad: The best deals you can buy online now

The Samsung Q-Series soundbar and subwoofer is currently 57% off, dropping its price from $699.99 to $297.99, and the Q-series soundbar HW-Q990F 11.1.4 ch subwoofer and rear speaker is marked down 52%, from $1,999.99 to $967.99. If you've been thinking about upgrading your speaker setup, now is a great opportunity to do it for less.

It's worth keeping in mind that this sale only lasts until Dec. 5 (or until the discounted items have sold out). So, if a system has caught your eye, you'll want to act fast to grab it before it's gone for good.

The first expansion for Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution, Phantasmal Flames, has finally dropped after a hectic launch weekend. If you don't have the cash to splash out on a Booster Box right now, the Booster Bundle is currently $10 cheaper at TCGplayer when stacked against Amazon ($49.50 vs. $59.89). I know where I'm going to buy mine.

Of course, you could go with Amazon if you have AMEX or Discovery cards for up to 50% off, although this special offer hasn't been available for anyone. Failing that, you can get aproved for a Amazon Visa card and recieve an instant $60 gift voucher to get the Phantasmal Booster Bundle for free.

The first expansion for Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution, Phantasmal Flames, has finally dropped after a hectic launch weekend. Thank goodness we're getting good deals off the shelf right now, although we still need to see the general market return to MSRP pricing outside of preorders and limited restocks.

With print runs going harder than ever before, we're hopefully going to see Scarlet and Violet / Mega Evolution era Pokémon TCG reprinted into oblivion. In turn this means we'll see scalpers move on and big box retailer pricing go down, which means better deals for trainers like you.

The Phantasmal Flames Booster Box is currently below market value on Amazon at $299.99, compared to TCGplayer's current market value of $309.81. It's still over MSRP, but getting products below market value right now is the best we're going to get outside of aforementioned preorders.
