Mill food recyclers are 15% off for V-Day. Get one under $850 and see how it changes the kitchen chore game.

Mashable - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 18:02

SAVE UP TO $179.85: Through Feb. 16, the Mill food recycler kitchen bin is 15% off during Mill's Valentine's Day sale. Get the white model for $849.15 instead of its usual $999, and save on upgrades to black or stainless steel.

$999 Save $149.85   Get Deal

I've recommended a lot of Valentine's Day gifts for her and for him this year. If your person's the type who prefers a useful gift over a mushy one, let me casually suggest the most game-changing product that I've ever tested: The Mill food recycler that's on sale right now. It'll make their life easier and their kitchen less smelly on a daily basis — a true act of romance, if you ask me. And if you live together, you'll get to reap the same benefits too.

I tell people that the Mill kitchen bin is worth it even at full price, which they are for a majority of the year. But through Feb. 16, they're 15% off during Mill's Valentine's Day sale. The base model, the white one that I have, is $849.15 compared to its usual $999. With the 15% discount, you can also upgrade to the black Mill bin for $976.65 (regularly $1,149) or the stainless steel Mill bin for $1,019.15 (regularly $1,199).

So, how does Mill work? Picture your current kitchen trashcan. Now, imagine the next time you toss old food or cooking scraps into it — instead of smelling them every time you open the lid until trash day, all you'll encounter is an odorless soil-like material. Mill holds all of your daily plate scrapings and old fridge leftovers dehydrating and churning them into food grounds silently overnight.

While it all sounds similar to compost, the Mill kitchen bin isn't a composter because it's not actually creating any actual decomposed organic material. Rather, the term "food recycler" refers to the later steps in the Mill cycle, when Mill repurposes your food grounds into chicken feed for small farmers. With the unique mail-back subscription, you'll dump your full Mill bucket into free pre-labeled boxes that ship back to Mill via USPS. And unlike traditional compost, meat, most dairy, and small amounts of desserts can go into Mill.

Not only do I have to take the real trash out significantly less often, but even my own personal Mill usage is making a serious impact on the planet. I just checked my Mill app while writing this story: My household has diverted 702 pounds of food scraps from landfills in the two and a half years of using Mill.

Admittedly, Mill's recurring costs will make it one of your more expensive appliances — the mail-back plan costs another $194 annually. But technically, the Valentine's Day discount nearly covers an entire year of the pickup subscription, and I promise you'll be spending less money on garbage bag restocks throughout the year.

Anna’s Archive reportedly releasing Spotify files despite $13 trillion legal challenge

Mashable - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 18:01

Anna's Archive, a site that serves as a shadow library for pirated content, has reportedly begun to quietly release millions of audio files scraped from Spotify. Anna's Archive made this move despite a staggering $13 trillion lawsuit — yes, trillion with a "T" — levied against the site by Spotify and major music labels.

Two privacy-focused websites, TorrentFreak and CyberNews, reported that Anna's Archive had begun to release the files scraped from Spotify. TorrentFreak reported the site's index "lists dozens of new torrents containing approximately 2.8 million tracks totaling roughly 6 terabytes of audio data."

CyberNews noted that, for the time being, the release appears to be composed of some of the least popular tracks in the trove of files scraped by Anna's Archive. The site wrote:

"However, it appears the release includes only some of the least popular scraped tracks, labeled with the 'pop_0' tag. Spotify’s algorithm assigns tracks a popularity metric ranging from 0 to 100, based on the total number of streams and the recency of those plays."

Spotify, along with three major labels — Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group — sued Anna's Archive, it was revealed last month, accusing the site of "brazen theft of millions of files containing nearly all of the world’s commercial sound recordings." A preliminary injunction was issued against Anna's Archive, which it is now reportedly defying.

If a TV is on your tech upgrade list, Presidents' Day weekend is proving to be a great time to snag a deal. While it's not traditionally the best time to upgrade, we're seeing plenty of massive discounts on models from 2025 — including some of our favorites from TCL, Hisense, and more.

I did some digging into Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart's Presidents' Day sales (which are all now live) to uncover all the best TV deals to shop this weekend. Recommendations are organized by retailer and size to make it easier to find exactly what you're looking for. Whether you want a budget-friendly pick for your bedroom or a massive screen for your living room, there's a deal waiting to be added to your cart.

Shop the best Presidents' Day TV deals on top brands below. Oh, BTW, if you're not sure what to do with your old TV, you can recycle it at most Best Buy stores at no cost.

Hisense is one of our favorite TV brands for its premium features at budget prices. For instance, this QLED 4K TV with built-in Alexa, Dolby Vision HDR and DTS Virtual X audio for less than $200. It may not wow you like more upscale models, but the 43-inch QD6 is a well-rounded budget TV that's great for bedrooms, smaller living rooms, or apartments. Plus, if you're used to a regular old LED TV, you'll definitely notice a difference from the quantum dots.

It's not the most advanced TV in Amazon's Fire TV lineup, but the 4-Series is the most popular. It was redesigned in 2025 with an extra slim bezel that brings your content front and center and a new quad-core processor that speeds up navigation and load times. It also features 4K UHD picture quality with support for HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Sound, Omnisense technology for ultra-personalized experiences, and the wildly smart Alexa+. At $279.99, it's down to its lowest price ever by a long shot, beating its previous low by $80.

The TCL QM6K checks all the boxes you want in a new TV, from impressive picture quality to a smooth streaming interface to a killer price tag. Its mini LED backlight allows for a wide and accurate color spectrum with deep contrast — even in bright rooms. Our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed it the "best TV under $1,000" last year and its current discount makes it an absolute steal. At $529.99, it's just $32 away from its lowest price ever (from Black Friday). Mashable's own TV expert says it's "mind-blowing it doesn't cost more than it does."

Combining mini LED backlighting with a 165Hz refresh rate and Dolby Atmos, the Hisense U7 is a force to be reckoned with. It also features an AGLR-Antiglare low-reflection panel, up to 3,000 nits of brightness, and HDR10, HDR10+ Adaptive, HLG, and Dolby Vision IQ. Translation: it looks brilliant, with deep contrast and shadows in any lighting scenario. It's designed to be the "ultimate mid-premium" TV in Hisense's 2025 lineup and this Presidents' Day deal knocks it down almost into budget territory at under $1,000.

Forbidden Fruits trailer: Lili Reinhart runs a witchy mall cult in this Mean Girls riff

Mashable - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 17:00

Cinema has its fair share of iconic cliques, from Mean Girls' Plastics to Heathers' titular crew. Now, IFC and director Meredith Alloway's Forbidden Fruits looks to join their ranks with a killer clique of its own: the Free Eden girls.

SEE ALSO: 'Obsession' trailer: Be careful what you wish for

Employees at the clothing store Free Eden, Apple (Lili Reinhart), Fig (Alexandra Shipp), and Cherry (Victoria Pedretti) are "mall royalty." They also run a witchy cult out of the Free Eden basement after hours, spearheaded by Apple.

But this trio's royalty status may come crashing down when a fourth member named Pumpkin (The Summer I Turned Pretty's Lola Tung) joins their ranks. According to the film's official synopsis, "when new hire Pumpkin challenges their performative sisterhood, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate."

The trailer offers up tantalizing glances at these bloody fates, including some worrisome blade sharpening. On top of that, it gives us teases of the Free Eden girls' distinct fashion styles and some great one-liners. One scene in particular even appears to remix The Devil Wears Prada's iconic Chanel boots exchange.

In Forbidden Fruits' iteration of the scene, Apple asks, "Is someone wearing the —"

"The Mojave body mist?" Pumpkin interrupts. "Yeah. I'm wearing it."

If The Devil Wears Prada and Mean Girls are the kind of films Forbidden Fruits will be paying homage to, then I'm all in.

Forbidden Fruits will have its world premiere on March 16 at SXSW. It hits theaters March 27.

Bridgerton Season 4, Part 2 trailer promises big Benophie arguments and steamy makeouts

Mashable - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 16:50

Celebrate Valentine's Day a day early with the latest trailer for Bridgerton Season 4, Part 2.

SEE ALSO: 'Bridgerton' Season 4 review: A Cinderella story to die for

The trailer above explores what happened after Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) royally stuck his foot in his mouth by asking maid Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) to be his mistress. On the one hand, he certainly thought it was romantic, as it's the only socially acceptable way for people of their differing social standings. Plus, he didn't know that Sophie's mother was her father's mistress, adding extra emotional baggage to his request.

On the other hand... Benedict. Buddy. Read the room.

The trailer also explores the fallout of Benedict's faux pas: Benedict pines after Sophie, while Sophie wrestles with her complicated feelings over the proposal. The yearning is simply off the charts.

Apparently the lovebirds aren't apart for too long, though, because the trailer is full of passionate Benophie kisses — as well as a teaser for a steamy bath scene.

That's not all, though. In addition to all the Benedict and Sophie drama, these next episodes will see the much-welcome return of Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate (Simone Ashley). Anthony even gives Benedict a pep talk about following his heart and going after Sophie.

Here's hoping Benedict will actually follow through (and maybe choose his words better next time he tries for a big romantic gesture).

Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1 is now streaming on Netflix. Part 2 premieres Feb. 26.

The best Presidents Day mattress deals — score up to 60% off mattresses, beds, sheets, and pillows

As much as we try to ignore it, sleep is a major part of life. Ask any parent of a young child or someone who's dealing with jet lag and they'll confirm that sleep makes a big difference. It impacts our mood, cognitive ability, and even the immune system.

We have tons of great tech that helps us get restorative slumber like sleep earbuds that are comfortable enough for side sleepers, smart beds that adjust temperature automatically, sleep trackers, and air purifiers that help with breathing in healthy air. But those probably won't help all that much if your mattress is uncomfortable. A good bed is both supportive of your back, shoulders, and hips while also being comfortable enough to keep you sound asleep. If that's not happening, it might be time for a new bed.

Just like how there's a best time of the year to buy a new TV, mattresses have a few standout sale times. Presidents' Day happens to be one of the best times to score a major discount on a new mattress, bedding, and pillows. If you bedroom or your guest room has been asking for a refresh, check out these deals. These upgrades are a great way to kickoff spring cleaning season.

$2,496.01 Save $1,397.01 mattress protector, sheet set, and two cooling pillows included Get Deal Why we like it

Last spring when I tested the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid mattress, I was shocked by the quality to price ratio. It feels like a luxury mattress you'd encounter at a 5-star hotel, but its price falls into the affordable range. In fact, a single night's stay at some 5-star resorts would cost more than this mattress.

The DreamCloud Premier is a hybrid bed that combines a plush pillow-top with ultra supportive memory foam and coil layers. The edge-support is also noteworthy. When testing, I felt like this was a great option for couples thanks to the motion isolation or anyone who's a combination sleeper and needs support in several positions.

The DreamCloud Presidents Day Sale tosses in a mattress protector, bamboo sheet set, and two cooling pillows. If you're shopping for a queen-size, you'll be able to get the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid with these accessories for $1,099.

If you shop for organic food and look for clothing made of natural materials, you might want to opt for an organic mattress. The Naturepedic Serenade Organic Hybrid Mattress is on sale during the brand's winter refresh sale. The eight-inch tall mattress uses certified organic latex, wool, and cotton, which eliminates the need to use chemical-derived foam or flame retardants.

Aside from the all-organic materials and glue-free design, one of the highlights of the Naturepedic Serenade Organic Hybrid Mattress is its customization options. You can get the mattress in plush, cushion-firm, or firm to best suit your sleeping style and needs. Plus, wool and cotton are naturally breathable materials, so this could be excellent if you tend to sleep hot.

An all-foam bed is a great option for tons of people, and Bear makes some of the best if you're looking for an excellent value. In a queen size, the Bear Original Mattress usually costs $998, but it's on sale for $649 during the Bear Presidents Day Sale. Plus, the brand is throwing in two free pillows and a free mattress protector.

Bear uses three layers of foam on the Bear Original that are designed to provide great support and comfort to pressure points. This could also be a great option for a kids' room thanks to its affordability. In a twin size, the Bear Original is on sale for $463.

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on February 13

Mashable - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 16:43

While today's date may be unlucky for some, this isn't the case for those hoping to catch a glimpse of some lunar features before the Moon descends into New Moon darkness. There's a very small glimpse of Moon available to see, so keep reading to find out what you're seeing.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Friday, Feb. 13, the Moon phase is Waning Crescent. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 17% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.

With no visual aids the only feature you can spot is the Aristarchus Plateau. According to NASA, this is a crater around 25 miles in diameter. A pair of binoculars will also let you see the Grimaldi Basin, meanwhile a telescope will bring the Schiller Crater into view.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will be on March 3. The last Full Moon was on Feb. 1.

What are Moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes around 29.5 days to complete one orbit around the Earth. Throughout that time, it goes through eight different phases of visibility. Even though we always see the same side of the Moon, the part that’s lit up changes as it moves along its orbit. The amount of sunlight reflecting off the surface is what makes the Moon look full, partly lit, or almost dark at different points. The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

Pornhubs U.S. Valentines Day map is extremely telling

Mashable - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 16:34

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and if you're not frantically googling gift ideas, you might be searching for your explicit category of choice on Pornhub.

The top relative searches across the U.S. are here, just in time for Love Day, and they show what each state searches for more than the rest.

Off the bat, you can see that many of the states are greyed out. That's because Pornhub blocked many U.S. states with age-verification laws, or requirements for viewers to submit personal data in order to access adult content.

But for the states that remain, the results are telling. In New York, for instance, the mood is romantic with "intimate" — but over in Maine, they're really into cuckolding porn. New Mexico is also wholesome with "hugging," while Washington is into pegging, apparently.

Vermont and Pennsylvania have more chaste searches (passionate and respectful, respectively), and Hawaii wants to watch couples. Illinois is content with softcore, too. As you go around the map, though, you'll see more...NSFW choices.

Whether the site will have more hits tomorrow is anyone's guess — but it wouldn't be surprising to see both singles and couples partake.

The Vampire Lestats fang-tastic single Long Face is now streaming on major music platforms

Mashable - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 16:21

Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) isn't just going for our jugulars. He's going for our Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay, too.

The magnetic French vampire from AMC's Interview with the Vampire takes center stage in the show's third season, now titled The Vampire Lestat. The season adapts Anne Rice's novel of the same name, in which Lestat starts a rock band and goes on tour to share his side of the story of his and Louis de Pointe du Lac's (Jacob Anderson) relationship. Along the way, he'll be haunted by the "muses" of his past.

Of course, a glam rocker would be nothing without his songs. Thankfully, The Vampire Lestat will be releasing multiple singles tied to the series. The first of these is "Long Face," performed by Reid and with music and lyrics by series composer Daniel Hart. AMC first released the single as a lyric video, all the way back in July of 2024.

Lestat has issued a statement to press to commemorate the song's streaming release on major music platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon. Reading it, you'll understand exactly why he's earned the nickname of Brat Prince.

"'Long Face' is the first song Daniel Hart 'produced' for my album,” Lestat said. "He decided early on to steal where he could from Bowie because he hasn’t had an original idea for five years now (is that his Green Knight score fading in the rear view?) As for 'Long Face,' the bass should have walked down with the guitar at the end instead of pedaling on E. Predictable. Like everything Daniel Hart touches."

Ouch.

Despite Lestat's words, the song is an angsty banger that will hook you from its first menacing "ooh ooh ooh." Now the only thing missing is a music video (and The Vampire Lestat's exact release date.)

The Vampire Lestat premieres this summer on AMC and AMC+.
