Everyone knows OnePlus as the scrappy Chinese company that makes flagship Android phones and sells them for hundreds of dollars less than, say, Samsung’s Galaxy phones or Google’s Pixels.

OnePlus’s highly anticipated next-generation flagship phone, the 6T, was originally supposed to launch on Oct. 30, but now the company has moved the event date to Oct. 29, no doubt because another tech behemoth is also holding a product launch event on Oct. 30. (We’re looking at you Apple.)

If that’s not a true commitment to its biggest fans, we’re not sure what is. Read more…

It’s been an understandably busy few days for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are in the midst of their first overseas visit.

On Friday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dropped by Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, the chia seed-laden suburb that’s known for its bohemia and totally chill vibes, man.

Nothing says “for the people” like a $45,000 car. 

Tesla has once again changed the game, this time with the release of a slightly less expensive version of its Model 3. Announced by Elon Musk via Twitter, the new mid-range sedan is available for order now in black, midnight silver metallic, deep blue metallic, pearl white, and red — though anything but the black will cost you an added premium of $1,500 to $2,500. 

The more affordable Tesla sports a 260-mile range, a 125 mph top speed, and goes from 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds.  Read more…

Welcome to Inside the Mind of Jake Paul, the feature length finale to the docu-series that dove into the whirlwind of growing up on camera. The eighth episode clocks in at a whopping 1 hour and 45 minutes, but if you’re a functional human being who doesn’t have the time to invest in watching Shane unpack all of Jake’s undiscussed trauma, don’t worry about it: We watched every agonizing minute of it so that you don’t have to.  Read more…

Saudi leader Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is receiving some unexpected help from erectile dysfunction pill spammers.

There’s been an intense online campaign playing out over Twitter in the past week to control the narrative surrounding the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

A combination of human influencers, automated political accounts, and spambots have been working together — some willingly, some not — to defend the Crown Prince and the Saudi regime over their suspected role in Khashoggi’s disappearance.

Twitter has since informed NBC News that it has suspended the accounts involved with the bot network from its platform. Read more…

Up until approximately, mmm, yesterday, there’s been a enduring stereotype of “outdoorsy” people: They’re white, cis, straight, and love granola and/or semi-automatic rifles.

Of course, there have always been people who love nature and don’t fall into any of those categories. And over the past few years, opportunities for LGBTQ people who want to camp, hike, and otherwise spend time with *real plants in nature* — not aloe plants in apartments — have grown exponentially. 

Between summer camps for adult trans folks and stripper-heels-wearing backpacking queens, there’s a growing outdoors community on Instagram and even in real life. Read more…
