Donald Trump is lashing out on social media again, and this time Pope Leo XIV is the target. Over the weekend, following the Pope making a call for peace, the U.S. president took to his own Truth Social to post that he was "WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy."

During his Daily Show monologue on Monday, Jon Stewart had thoughts.

"I am really starting to sour on this president. What is going through Trump's mind? What did the Pope say? He wants what? Dialogue? Peace? He wants to choose the noblest aspirations of mankind to show humanity at its greatest articulation? F**k that loser!" Stewart says. "And look, president Trump, I know the Vatican's been critical of your policies, but you got to remember that at the end of the day, you and the Catholic church both historically care deeply about the same thing: covering up sex scandals."

Stewart goes on to talk about the AI image Trump shared of himself healing a man lying in a bed — a man who, on closer inspection, does bear a striking resemblance to Stewart himself.

"Am I OK?" the host says after a long stare at the image. "What the f***?"

In the Pokémon TCG market, products in the Perfect Order expansion keep sliding in price, and now the six-pack box has finally dipped under the $40 mark at one of the major trading card retailers.

As of April 14, Amazon has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Bundle listed for $42.98, while TCGplayer has unopened listings starting at $39.49 with shipping included. Walmart is still sitting at $42.95 online, so TCGplayer now has the clear lead among the three main places collectors are likely to check first.

That leaves TCGplayer $3.49 cheaper than Amazon and $3.46 lower than Walmart. It also comes in $0.72 below TCGplayer’s current $40.21 market price, while landing comfortably under the current $42.14 listed median.

At Amazon’s current price, you’re paying about $7.16 per booster pack. TCGplayer drops that to roughly $6.58 per pack for the same six booster packs, which is the better value by a pretty decent margin. Walmart comes out almost identical to Amazon on a per-pack basis, so this is one of those rare moments where the dedicated card marketplace is also the simplest answer. 

The Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Bundle includes six booster packs from the expansion, with each pack containing 10 trading cards, one Basic Energy, and one Pokémon TCG Live code card. It’s also a straightforward starting point for collecting the set’s lineup of more than 120 cards, including valuable chase cards including special illustration rares for Pokémon like Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Clefable ex, Mega Starmie ex, and Meowth ex. 

For even more reasonable prices from the new Pokémon TCG expansion, the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box is now available for under $70. If it’s the rarer Ascended Heroes range you’re interested in buying, Amazon and Walmart are selling the Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Box for under market price.

How to choose the best Airwrap dupe

In 2026, there are more Airwrap models on the market than ever, but the price points are higher. There's the $549.99 Airwrap Origin, the $649.99 Airwrap i.d., and the $749.99 Co-anda 2x. There are some differences in performance abilities between the three models, but for the purposes of this guide, I'll be focusing on dupes that can achieve similar styling results first and foremost, and ideally use similar tech (including multiple attachments, auto-wrap curling barrels, and the airflow "grabbing" the hair known as the Coanda effect) to get to those results. You can learn more about the specific differences between the Dyson models in the FAQ below.

SEE ALSO: Shark FacialPro Glow review: My first 24 hours of pore de-gunking and sculpting were definitely successful

As for which dupes are the best, I recommend reading more about each product below, but here's the rapid-fire rundown:

If you want the most one-to-one Airwrap experience, the Shark FlexStyle is your best bet (and value). Are long-lasting curls your top priority? The T3 Aire 360's ceramic barrels outperform the FlexStyle and the Airwrap. (Frequent international travelers will also appreciate the dual-voltage of the updated Aire 360). Simply want the best blowout possible? The Amika Blowout Babe thermal brush provides your fastest, easiest, and longest-lasting results. And finally, if affordability is the name of the game, well, there's a reason everyone and their mother jumped on the Revlon One-Step train back in 2020.

Testing queue

Up next, I'll be testing DryBar's All-Inclusive Air and Active Heat multi-styler.

In 2025, content creator Gigi Bello (@okaycoolgigi) took her audience on a journey. She was determined to fix the “landlord special” — a peephole on the door of her New York City apartment that had long been painted shut. The video (and its subsequent follow-ups) went viral, landing the 28-year-old CPA a feature in People and a slew of new followers.

“Content creation kind of happened by accident after a few videos went viral, but I fell in love with it,” Bello says.

Bello's account has otherwise been dedicated to her adventures in sourdough breadmaking and her beloved starter, Eloise. But Bello says the peephole video made her realize that "no matter what I post, if I actually care about it, other people will too."

Bello adds, "Sometimes I feel like I don't want to be stuck making sourdough all the time (so sorry Eloise, I love you), but it made me feel better about posting other things I’m interested in and trusting that people will still care."

When it comes to capturing content, Bello uses a relatively low-tech setup in her apartment kitchen. We caught up with the creator about her favorite gear, her love of sourdough, and what it took to remove all those layers of paint.

Bello uses her iPhone to capture both video and audio. "I need something convenient, since it's basically a one-woman show and I'm filming everything myself in my kitchen, so my phone just does it all," she says.

TikTok 

This is Bello's platform of choice and her editing software all rolled up into one. Bello says she uses TikTok for both the recording and editing of her videos.

"I find that editing in TikTok is just super convenient for me. It makes my life easier than having a bunch of random small clips in my camera roll, because I get to pause and resume recording in the same clip," she says. "And editing in TikTok is so user-friendly that I don't feel the need to use anything else if I don't have to."

CapCut 

For the times that she needs an editing program with a little more oomph, she turns to CapCut.

"I mainly use CapCut when I have to edit a video for a brand, since it makes me feel 'safer' that my video won't randomly be deleted. (Yes, TikTok has done this to me before)."

"Sometimes (especially in the winter months) my kitchen doesn't have the greatest lighting, so the portable lights help a ton," Bello says. "I find that having the LED lights directly on me looks a little unnatural, so bouncing it feels more real."

What was the magic goop that got all the paint off the peephole?

Bello: CitriStrip! It's a paint and varnish stripping gel that I noticed a lot of restoration people using when trying to scrape old paint off door frames. I probably should've used a mask though; I had a headache for days after using it and accidentally breathing it in.

Mashable: Talk to us about the journey there and any tools someone might need.

Bello: Honestly, the whole "in my sourdough era" thing makes me cringe (I'm sorry!!!). I've just always been someone who loves carbs. In 2024, I was scrolling and saw a lot of people talking about how hard it was to make sourdough bread; they also mentioned how much better it was for you. I decided [that] if I can successfully make sourdough, then I must be a genius. It was honestly just a test [of] my own capabilities and a way for me to have a hobby at home.

I don't think you need much to get started with making sourdough, and you probably already have the ingredients at home. Maybe the biggest thing you'd need to get started is patience.

What is your favorite loaf pan? 

Bello: My current favorite loaf pan is made by Nordic Ware. It’s super light, unlike a Dutch oven, and my recent loaves have been made using it, and they’ve come out really good.

  Shop Now at Amazon What do you love about what you do? 

Bello: I love that I'm able to do whatever passion project I want at the moment (Eloise being a big part of that) and share my experience with it, whether it fails or succeeds. My favorite thing is creating something from an idea, even if it seems kind of silly, and being able to make something and show it off is really gratifying.

I feel like I have a bit of a double life — my day job is more analytical and composed, but my natural personality comes out in my videos, where I get to be more creative.

Who is your ideal audience? 

Bello: My ideal audience is people who are just normal about things in the best way. Like, kind, a little nosy, and actually invested. People who enjoy the process, not just the final result, and who are okay with things not being perfect. Also, people who get my humor and aren't taking everything too seriously. I like when it feels more like we're all just hanging out versus me "posting content."

Any noteworthy achievements over the past year?

Bello: Being in People magazine for my peephole was definitely up there and something I never expected. Also, Eloise's second birthday — I can't believe I've been making sourdough for two years; it really puts it into perspective. And going to FoodiCon was something I feel really grateful for. I got to meet so many people I interact with online, and hearing that people went there to see me felt really wholesome, unreal, and a little crazy. I usually film by myself in my kitchen convincing myself none of this is real, so seeing it in real life was really fulfilling.

Does Eloise have anything she'd like to add? 

Eloise: I confess, I shoved Ophelia in the junk drawer.

That's an impressive lifespan for a budget-friendly phone, particularly when it's free.

It's important to note that T-Mobile will charge taxes on these free deals and a $35 device connection fee. Is this really "free" when you need to sign up to something or pay an upfront fee? It's a gray area — we're doing our best, OK?

When 10-year-old Kaela Polkinghorn asked NASA to make Pluto a planet again, she never expected the agency's top official to respond. 

The fourth grader from Tampa, Florida, fell for Pluto during a field trip last week to the Museum of Science & Innovation, known as MOSI. In its giant dome theater, she watched a film that showed eight planets huddled cozily around the sun. But Pluto was not included in the group hug, crying from way in the back. 

"It's very small, and it's so cute," Kaela told Mashable, "like a little baby." 

That image tugged at her heartstrings. Later, Kaela sat down with some of her Plato Academy Tampa classmates and wrote a letter asking NASA to give Pluto its planet status back. Kaela's mother, Brandy Polkinghorn, found the note.

Pluto's place in the solar system has stirred strong feelings ever since 2006, when the International Astronomical Union — the global body that sets the nomenclature for planetary objects — voted to reclassify it as a "dwarf planet." Under the organization's rules, a planet must be round and also "clear its neighborhood," meaning it dominates its orbit. Because Pluto did not meet that last criteria, the change cut the official list of planets from nine to eight, turning Pluto into a symbol of scientific debate.

SEE ALSO: This historic photo tells the Artemis II story in a single shot

Why Pluto has been such a touchy subject speaks to both nostalgia and national pride. Many people fondly remember learning acrostics, like My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas, for the nine planets of the solar system. In 1930, Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto from the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, a historic moment for the grandparents of millennials and Generation X. Arizona's attachment to Pluto even led Gov. Katie Hobbs to declare the icy world the official state planet in 2024. 

At first, Kaela's letter was only meant for NASA's mailbox. Brandy and her husband, David Polkinghorn, both space and science fans, talked about where to send it. Then they showed it to a family friend, Mike Boylan, a Tampa-based weather personality with a large online following.

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

"He had a hunch that maybe something would happen from it," Polkinghorn said.

Once Boylan posted it publicly, things moved fast. Within hours, the NASA administrator replied to a photo of the letter on X. 

"Kaela — " Jared Isaacman wrote on April 9, just as the Artemis II moon mission was on its way back to Earth, "We are looking into this." 

NASA cannot overturn the International Astronomical Union's decision on its own. But what the agency chooses to say about Pluto still matters, said Philip Metzger, a planetary physicist at the University of Central Florida, who has published two papers on the debate. Some scientists argue that Pluto counts as a planet because of its complex surface and active geology, even if it shares its region of space with many other icy bodies. If it's scientifically useful for researchers to call it a planet, then they should, he says.

"NASA can help contribute to consensus that the IAU definition was inappropriate," Metzger told Mashable in an email, "so it actually could be quite helpful for the administrator to take this on."

Kaela Polkinghorn felt inspired to write a letter to NASA about Pluto following a field trip to the Museum of Science & Innovation in Tampa, Florida. Credit: Brandy Polkinghorn

The IAU has not heard from NASA or administrator Isaacman about Pluto, a spokesperson confirmed, while adding that the organization understands how emotional that 2006 decision remains. 

"Scientific classifications are determined through international consensus and evidence-based processes," the organization said in a statement to Mashable. "While they are not subject to unilateral change, they can be amended if the supporting evidence changes."

But Isaacman's comments weren't a joke. NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens pointed to a Daily Mail article in March, in which the administrator said he fully supports restoring Pluto's previous status as a planet. 

For Kaela, the arguments take a simple form. She loves that Pluto is small and that photos from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft show a bright heart-shaped region on its surface. 

Science has long been part of Kaela's upbringing. Before she was born, one of her parents' first dates was at MOSI in 2004. The family can sometimes watch space launches from their neighborhood; they even saw the recent Artemis II launch light up the sky. Kaela's younger brother, Austin Polkinghorn, is a big Elon Musk fan. And Kaela is daydreaming about her future career.

"I want to fly in a rocket," she said. 

Where does she want to go? Why, Pluto, of course.

Underneath her planetary plea is a desire for fairness. That core principle runs deep, evident in her request to include in this story the name of her friend, Zoey Mead, whom she credits as "the person who helped me most" with the letter. 

Whatever happens next with Pluto's label, one handwritten note from a 10-year-old has already accomplished something remarkable: It pushed a scientific debate from an elementary school field trip all the way to NASA's top brass.
