I Will Be Living, Laughing, and Loving With This Stanley Wine Tumbler Set
It was only a matter of time before Stanley, the originator of the Very Large To-Go Cup brouhaha, bestowed us the next TikTok-viral-worthy trend in to-go cups. This time, it's a bundle called the All Day Wine Set, which is exactly what it sounds like: a big refillable wine bottle and two to-go tumblers that will enable you to sit and sip pretty all day in the park, or wherever your ideal rosé-sipping spot is located.
Right now, both of the colorway options — 'gilded sugar' and 'gilded celadon' — are on sale for $36 off. A more than fair price to pay, for me to ascend to my highest wine mommy form. | Stanley
Prices taken at time of publishing.
In Stanley's words, the insulated 'All Day Slim Bottle is made for on the go hydration,' and it untwists at the shoulder so you can easily fill it with ice cubes. The 10-ounce tumblers are also designed with the brand's 'double-wall vacuum insulation' to keep beverages cool for the duration of that Party Girl screening that will undoubtedly happen at Hollywood Forever Cemetery this summer. And once you've schlepped your happy, sun-kissed self back home, you can toss it all in the dishwasher (and repeat).
For legal reasons, I am not suggesting you drink alcohol in public without a permit. However, if you should happen to find yourself filling this 34-ounce vessel with the ambrosia of your choice at Jacob Riis beach in New York City this summer, you will most likely have a ball.
Smash the order button while it's on sale (and save me a good spot in the picnic blanket?).

'Hacks' is returning to HBO Max for Season 5. Could it be the last?
Another chapter has closed for the comedy duo on Hacks — but where the laughs will take them next is anyone's guess. Season 4 of the HBO Max series focused on Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) finally achieving her lifelong dream of hosting a late-night show, with collaborator Ava (Hannah Einbinder) by her side as her head writer even as a betrayal on Deborah's part derailed their often rocky partnership. Now, going into Season 5, Deborah and Ava are back on track — or as on track as their roller coaster of a work relationship can really be. Meanwhile, Hacks is already readying its fifth season, with HBO Max announcing its next installment on the same day as the Season 4 finale. There's definitely more drama — and absolutely more laughs — headed our way. Here's a look back at what happened in Season 4 and what we know so far about Season 5. (Warning: Spoilers ahead!) To understand the drama of Season 4, we really have to unpack what happened in Season 3. With Ava's help, Deborah won the battle to replace a longtime late-night host — a role she's been desperate for ever since she lost out on it decades earlier. But when it came time for Deborah to set up her staff, she didn't give Ava the job of head writer, blaming the network for wanting someone more experienced. However, it was really Deborah who didn't want Ava in the role — she was terrified of any potential Ava-related setbacks that could derail her dream. When Ava found out, she felt betrayed — but decided to do things the Deborah Vance way. She blackmailed Deborah, telling her that she would reveal that Deborah slept with studio executive Bob Lipka (Tony Goldwyn) to secure the late-night gig if she didn't give her the head writer job. Deborah obliged, but it led to a very tense relationship between her and Ava for most of Season 4, with an HR representative (Michaela Watkins) needing to supervise the duo's every interaction. But when Ava threatened to quit the show after a season of stress, Deborah finally came to her senses, realizing her relationship with Ava was what broke her out of her comedy rut — and got her the late-night job — in the first place. Ava and Deborah went back to being thick as thieves, until Ava unintentionally leaked damaging information about the network's toxic culture to the press — leading Bob to demand that Deborah fire her, or lose the late-night show entirely. While it initially seemed like Deborah would once again sacrifice Ava to save herself, she did the exact opposite. She publicly shamed Bob and the studio, protected Ava and declared she was done with late-night — putting Ava ahead of her lifelong dream. Unfortunately for Deborah, the late-night show she left also came with a noncompete clause, meaning she couldn't do any comedy — TV, standup, even TikTok — for 18 months. Workaholic Deborah, however, found a loophole: She could do standup if it was through a translator, leading her to grab Ava and head to Singapore for a residency at a casino. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty miserable for Ava, who watched as Deborah devolved into the cheapest comedic version of herself. She told Deborah she was leaving — only to find out in the morning that TMZ had reported Deborah dead. Fortunately, it was a case of a prepublished obituary — and Deborah was very much alive. But, while she didn't mind being dead on TMZ, she did hate that they used the word 'retired' to describe her. Fueled by ambition and rage, Deborah told Ava they were heading back home — she wasn't giving up her comedy career without a fight. There's more of Deborah and Ava to come, per an announcement from HBO Max on May 27. While Smart previously told Variety she would be 'surprised' if the show didn't receive a renewal, co-creator Paul W. Downs told TV Insider, 'We feel so lucky that we get to do a fifth season of comedy. We're like, it shouldn't be this way, but we feel really fortunate because it's so rare. We feel incredibly lucky.' The only bad news? It's quite possible that Season 5 could be its last. 'We pitched five seasons. Even in the pitch of the whole series, we pitched the very last scene, the finale," co-creator Lucia Aniello previously told Fast Company. 'Suzanna Makkos, who bought the show [for WarnerMedia], stopped us before we got there. She was like, you don't have to pitch anymore. I'm going to buy the show.' That plan was echoed in other interviews as well, with the creative team — which also includes Jen Statsky — telling the Hollywood Reporter that five seasons was always the ideal. 'We pitched the very last scene in the very last episode when we were pitching the show, and we've always had a pretty clear vision of what the tentpoles of each season would be,' Downs said. Right now, the only thing we know for sure is that Smart and Einbinder will reprise their roles as Deborah and Ava. We don't have a release date yet, and it's not going to film immediately — Smart will be spending the summer on the Broadway show Call Me Izzy. Since its premiere in May 2021, Hacks has released its seasons with significant gaps. Each season has taken at least a year to return, with a two-year wait between Seasons 2 and 3. Season 1 debuted on May 13, 2021, Season 2 followed on May 12, 2022, and Season 3 didn't arrive until May 2, 2024.

‘Color walking' is trending — here's everything you need to know
The walking trends are coming in thick and fast now that summer is approaching, and TikTok — as TikTok does — is sending each one stratospheric. If you haven't heard about it yet, put down your "hot girl walk," "silent walking," or the "Japanese walking method" for just a moment and join me in the latest TikTok fitness craze — "color walking." I use up way more of my journalistic time than I'd like slamming and damning the misleading (and sometimes downright nonsensical) wellness trends I see on TikTok. It can often feel like a relentless game of Whack-A-Mole — just when you think one has finally gone, another one springs up from nowhere. But color walking? I'm actually totally sold, to be honest. Here's what I learned from the TikTok color walking trend — and why you may benefit from trying it, too. The color walking technique is a great way to engage in National Walking Month, and because the benefits of walking are extensive, who wouldn't want to find more ways to make it more interesting, too? Dale Orton, head of photo culture and quality at nature-inspired photography company CEWE, who champions walking in nature, says: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Color walking is similar to many mindfulness practices and grounding techniques, such as deep breathing, naming categories and the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory experience, which aim to ease anxiety and help you feel more aware of your surroundings. These techniques help to anchor your thoughts and bring you back to the present moment.' He adds that you can experience the same effect with color walking — simply focus on a specific color while you walk to draw attention away from overthinking or distractions. 'It also trains your eyes to notice the small details, which heightens sensory awareness,' he says. 'Equally, we know that taking photos of nature can also help focus the mind, so combining your color walking and stopping to take photos can have double the benefit.' Orton suggests five tips if you plan to color walk. Here are a few things I noticed besides colors. Given that I was heading to my local park for this exercise, I decided not to go with green — my initial intention. Instead, I chose a color I'd have to look harder to find, which I thought could help improve my focus and prevent distractions. I landed on blue. Those walking near me probably wondered why I was standing in a field staring at the sky, but hey, we move. First, I watched how the clouds moved and interacted with the blue sky tucked away behind them; I felt…peaceful. Like the feeling after a big exhale when you've been holding your breath. I then walked around and looked for other blues that were less obvious — the color of a T-shirt (warning, don't stare at people for longer than is socially acceptable) or the orange and blue of a ball clutched between the spit-slick jaws of a panting puppy. It made me present in the moment and feel calmer in my mind. I get it, we don't all have time for long or leisurely walks whenever we feel like it, but you can benefit from even just 10 minutes of color walking. This wasn't a step tracking exercise, so I switched my phone to silent (a bit like when I tried silent walking), took out my earphones and removed my Apple Watch. Free from my self-imposed tech shackles, I explored and spent longer walking (and observing) than I would have done if I'd dutifully trotted out my regular walking route. Naturally, and without checking, I'm pretty sure I clocked up more steps. But that's not the point. Instead of going through the rhythms of my daily routine, I was actually noticing things for the first time, and I found it very soothing and enjoyable. If you're looking for a pair of the best running shoes you can wear for long walks, too, these sneakers are super cushioned and comfy. I regularly choose them for runs and walks! With my tech switched off, I could switch off. Anyone who knows me knows that I am chaotic by my very nature — a 5'2" hurricane of clumsy golden retriever energy and topic-hopping chat. I've also, and I know many people can relate, had a bit of a tough start to the year. During these mentally trickier months, my daily walks have been less about the physical benefits (hello rucking) and more about building mental stamina and finding some peace of mind. And so for once, I found myself genuinely relaxing and switching off my brain. Not for long — the worries and anxieties of the day ahead would still creep in, but just before I began floating off toward them, I'd then refocus my brain on the color blue and find myself re-anchored and tethered. I haven't found many of these mindfulness exercises work for me in life — if someone recommends 'traditional' meditation to me again, I won't be held responsible for my actions — but this one did. I enjoyed seeking out the color, observing how it interacted with its surroundings, then panning out to the object itself, how it moved, or how things moved around it. Simple, free to do and endlessly meditative. Tick, tick, tick. I honestly believe there are benefits for everyone with color walking, and it's a wellness trend I finally don't mind TikTok blowing up. If, for whatever reason, colors don't work for you, I recommend trying sounds instead. Try to choose one beforehand — like bird song — and listen for it wherever you go. If you fancy entering a trance-like state the next time you go walking, try a color walk. Trust me!

AI baby videos are going viral. Are they cute, creepy, or cringe?
Is your TikTok FYP inexplicably filling up with short clips of AI baby videos? If so, you're not alone, the AI baby videos are going viral across TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. These short AI-generated videos feature a cherubic baby-faced version of well-known figures, from world leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron to the stars of Friends. See also: Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious, Michael Jackson in "Thriller," and Judge Judy. So, are these videos cute, creepy, or cringe? Cringe is in the eye of the beholder, and your take on this trend will be informed by your general fondness for both babies and AI in general. Regardless, the viral videos are yet more proof that the AI slop machine is working overtime. "Slop" is the term for low-quality, AI-generated images and videos, and they can often go surprisingly viral. Some of the people sharing the clips may not even realize the videos are AI-generated, though we hope that goes without saying when you come across a video of baby Ice Cube (Lil' Ice Cube?) rapping "It Was a Good Day." The first question is easy to answer. Some videos are surely created by fans and AI enthusiasts, while others are churned out by content farms. Like those men shoveling coal into the Titanic's engines, the algorithms must be fueled, and content farms shovel a constant stream of memes, AI content, and stolen videos onto social media apps. This particular trend started a couple of weeks ago, with AI enthusiasts making AI videos featuring talking babies on podcasts. The trend evolved to AI videos of celebrities as babies, which is where we are now. As mentioned earlier, the trend has even reached the highest level of world government. Most creators are using a mix of different AI tools to create these baby videos, and you can find tutorials on YouTube and TikTok. However, I know what you're really wondering: Can I create these AI baby videos for free, and without being a tech wiz? Not really. I tried creating an AI video using TikTok's new free AI Alive tool, which turns images into animated videos. The results were, ah, not great! Credit: Timothy Beck Werth / Mashable Credit: Timothy Beck Werth / Mashable To create an AI baby video from start to finish, you will need paid subscriptions to some popular AI tools. Some of these steps can be done with the free versions of the tools mentioned below, but generally, you need a paid subscription to generate a video. Upload a picture of yourself to ChatGPT (or your AI tool of choice); use a prompt like this: "Create a baby photo based on this image." Write a short script to go along with your video. Use the ElevenLabs text-to-speech tool (or a similar tool) to create an audio file for your "baby." Use an AI video tool like Hedra or Dreamina to generate a video based on your photo and audio file. Of course, all this comes at a cost, and not just for AI subscriptions. According to a new report from MIT Technology Review, generating one 5-second AI video is the energy equivalent of running a microwave for a full hour. Which AI video tool should you use? Google's brand new Veo 3 video generator is currently the most advanced video generator, but it also costs $250 a month to access as part of Google's AI Ultra Subscription. I was able to create a fairly realistic baby video using Veo in Gemini, but that's not exactly the point of the meme. Most creators seem to be using Hedra. Per Tech Crunch, Hedra just raised $32 million, and its Character-3 model is powering a lot of these AI baby videos.
