This Lego Star Destroyer is going to bring peace and security to my living room — especially thanks to $50 off in the Prime Day sales
The Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer is now $110 at Amazon, down $50 from full price. Perfect for a Star Wars fan, be they 7 or 77. Or 30. I have to justify it somehow, right?
Take over the galaxy with this Star Destroyer Lego set — or, at least, the living room floor. This hulking mass of Lego contains 1555 pieces, and includes minifigures of Darth Vader, Commander Praji, an Imperial Gunner, Imperial Navy Trooper, a Stormtrooper, and a special edition Kal Kestis. This $50 saving brings the Star Destroyer down to its lowest price ever.
This version of the Star Destroyer is a mid-sized option, but it still packs in plenty of features. There's a small interior, for example, so you can play around with Darth Vader's Bacta tank or tell the bridge crew to "power up the turbo laser batteries."
These are turbo Laser batteries that can move, thanks to some very clever Lego engineering. They pivot from side to side, swiveling in place to aim at any pesky rebels that might be coming to help their pathetic excuse for an incursion on Yavin IV.
There's a built-in carrying handle as well, so you can swoosh it around the house and really get on your parents'/significant others' last nerve. Just remember that Star Destroyers have a habit of crashing into each other, and you'll be fine.
The selection of minifigures here is fun is also fun. There's the expected Imperial garrison, although I'd like more than the single Stormtrooper. Darth Vader obviously makes an appearance as well. The Kal Kestis figure is the highlight, although I'm not sure if the star of Jedi Survivor ever actually set foot on this class of Star Destroyer.
You can now bring your own brand of Imperial terror to your living room thanks to this $50 discount. Perfect for the kid in your life, whether they're 9 or... older.
There are plenty more deals to be had this Prime Day — make sure you check out our Prime Day live blog to make sure you're staying on top of all the latest sales and offers.

Jeff Bezos Debuts Shocking Hairstyle 2 Weeks After Marrying Lauren Sánchez Bezos
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos were spotted in Sun Valley, Idaho, on Thursday, July 10 The billionaire was seen with a new hairstyle consisting of newly grown thick white-grey hair around the sides of his scalp The tech founder has notably sported a bald look for the past 12 yearsJeff Bezos is shying away from his signature look. The Amazon founder, who has developed a recognizable image with his bald look, has stepped out with a new hairstyle. The billionaire, 64, was spotted in Sun Valley, Idaho, sporting newly grown thick white-grey hair around the sides of his scalp, also known as the donor area of the scalp. His new look is a real deviation from his decision to go bald more than 10 years ago. Notably, the last time Bezos was seen with hair was in 2013 in which it was dark brown. Bezos' recently tied the knot with his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos. During the couple's festivities in Venice, Italy, Bezos was seen with some hair around the sides of his head. Bezos' hair transformation follows previous conversations throughout recent years about his ever-changing appearance and his decision to bulk up. In December 2023, his now-wife, 55, spoke to The Wall Street Journal and revealed that they work out together. 'He stole my trainer!' she said of trainer Wes Okerson, who has worked with Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Gerard Butler and Isla Fisher. 'Jeff is extremely dedicated to his workouts,' she said at the time. 'I mean, you have no idea. He really puts in the work.' Later that year, in November, she spoke to Vogue about the pair's relationship and revealed a bit of insight into Bezos' workout routine. "We cannot do the same exercises. He's on a whole different level than I am,' she told the outlet. 'He is a monster in the gym.' In that same interview, the best-selling author also shared that he has a holistic approach to his health. She revealed that Bezos is dedicated to getting a good night's rest, and explained that they both go to bed at 9:30 p.m., after watching some television.

The couple's lavish June 27 ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, included a star-studded guest: Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Usher. Sánchez Bezos' children Nikko (whom she shares with ex Tony Gonzalez), son Evan and daughter Ella (whom she shares with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell) were all present for the nuptials. It's unclear if Bezos' four kids (whom he shares with ex-wife MacKenzie Scott), were present as they've remained out of the spotlight. Read the original article on People

Hollywood A-lister Andrew Garfield tapped to play Sam Altman in movie about OpenAI
(KRON) — A Hollywood A-lister has been tapped to play Sam Altman in an upcoming film that's reportedly about the tech mogul being temporarily ousted as CEO of OpenAI. According to IMDB, Altman will be portrayed by 'Amazing Spider-Man' star Andrew Garfield. Garfield will head up a star-studded cast that also includes his current girlfriend, Monica Barbaro, playing Mira Murati, the former Open AI Chief Technology Officer whose new startup is reportedly dangling $500K salaries to lure top talent. Russian actor Yura Borisov, who earned an Oscar nod for his role in 'Anora' has been tapped to play Ilya Sutskever. Sutskever was a key board member who reportedly voted 'yes' to oust Altman, but later said he regretted it. Proposed SF tower would dwarf Salesforce tower, be tallest on West Coast The film, which has a $40 million budget and is being funded by Amazon, is titled 'Artificial.' It's currently in preproduction, according to IMDB. Altman was briefly ousted from OpenAI, the company he co-founded, in November of 2023. He was reinstated just a few days later.

I have to work on the last night of Prime Day, so now I'm subjecting you to my unhinged wish list
Unfortunately, it's still Prime Day. So that means while everyone else my age is out enjoying a beautiful summer evening or watching Manhattanhenge, I'm tethered to my computer, writing about deals. The good news is that my bosses have all gone home for the day, so there's no one here to tell me I can't write an article about all the things I personally want to buy this Prime Day. If you're also spending your Friday night on the internet (by choice, or otherwise), maybe my ramblings will provide some inspiration for your own shopping. I've also included some items from my coworkers' wish lists, because they have equally unhinged and impeccable tastes. Oh, and I'm probably obliged to tell you that we're still rounding up the best deals still happening over in our Prime Day deals hub. My Amazon Prime Day wish list A big, purple, sparkly rubber bag with holes in it I was recently introduced to the concept of a Bogg Bag, and now I want one. I feel like this would be so cute for the farmer's market, right? And because it's rubber and filled with holes, I could use it as a big colander wash my farmer's market produce right inside it. I'd also like it for the beach, if I had a beach to go to. Apparently you can buy accessories, like a snack holder top that turns it into a cooler facsimile. A bright yellow showerhead I actually have a Sproos showerhead installed in my bathroom, which I tested for our guide to the best showerhead (it made our top picks!). But this bright yellow color seems like it would make my mornings extra sunny, which is something on my mind right now since I don't think I've been outside in four days. A cannabis candle I have no idea why the scent is called cannabis, because it doesn't contain or even smell like pot. My boss is a freak for Malin + Goetz candles, and she's one of the coolest people I know (hi Sally!), so now I want to be a freak for Malin + Goetz candles, too. I'm not sure I can stomach paying $50+ for a candle, even on sale, but I'll happily accept it as a gift. A jumbo stick of anti-thigh chafe It's summer in the city, which means my thighs are constantly chafing. This stuff really does work. Plus, I love Katie Sturino, the founder of Megababe and am currently reading her new book (also on sale for Prime Day, but not on my wish list because I already downloaded it on my Kindle). A new Kindle because my husband just got one and I'm jealous I already have an (aforementioned) Kindle, but I've been considering trading it in for a Kindle Paperwhite Unlimited because my husband just got a Kindle for his birthday, and I'm a little envious. His is a newer model than mine and ad-free, so I'd want the Paperwhite Signature Edition just so I can one-up him with the wireless charging aspect. A book of Taylor Swift-inspired crochet patterns This book has been on my wish list for a while, and after this week of never-ending deals, I could use a calming and Swift-centric activity. An Octobuddy for all the content I don't make If this journalism thing doesn't work out, I have dreams of becoming an influencer, and word on the street is that influencers love the Octobuddy. I figure the first step to being a content creator is getting myself one of these. Hair dye I hear the advice is to go through your order history for any deals on things you order regularly, which reminded me it's about time that I dye my hair again. My grays are starting to show through after a four-day Prime "Day." A two-pack of Scrubbing Bubbles Once I dye my hair, I'll need to clean my shower. Lillian's Prime Day wish list Lillian says all she wants for Prime Day is a pack of "healthy" soda. I told her to dream bigger, so she managed to drum up a few other "practical" items. A Poppi variety pack I'm a fiend for Diet Coke, but otherwise I'm not a huge fan of soda. Trying the Poppi Cranberry Fizz flavor on Thanksgiving changed things a bit and opened up the world of prebiotic soda to me. Through trial and error, I've found that not all flavors are created equal, but I'm interested in trying the New Obsessions pack, which has the newly released Alpine Blast and Punch Pop flavors. A new MacBook As my aging 2019 MacBook Pro force-reboots once again and continues to go less and less time between charges, I dream of upgrading my personal laptop to a newer model. I've always used a Pro, but I've been considering giving an Air a try for something lightweight and easier to travel with. While I'll probably try to get another year or two out of my current Mac, the discounted price on the 2025 MacBook Air is certainly tempting. Shokz I'm a long-distance runner, and I've been meaning to buy a pair of Shokz for quite some time. They're wireless headphones that use bone conduction technology so you can still hear your surroundings (probably a must-have, or at least a should -have, if you're running alongside cars in the city like me). They're also waterproof, which might help me avoid breaking yet another pair of headphones with sweat and rain. Jaclyn's Prime Day wish list When I asked Jaclyn to contribute to this roundup, she sent me one item on her wish list and screenshots of — I'm not exaggerating — 17 items she actually bought during Prime Day, including what appears to be three different tripods for holding your phone. I don't have time to make that many product cards, so instead I'm just having her bullet out some of the stuff she bought: Aura Carver Frame: "My college roommate got married last weekend. Here's the wedding gift I got her to display all her beautiful photos from the weekend." Poppi Sparkling Variety Pack: "It's a Prime Day tradition for me to buy myself a big variety pack of Poppi. A lot of these flavors are new to me, but I'm a big fan of the cherry lime." Slim Square Havianas: "Pookie [ Lauren's note: Jaclyn is referring to Pookie of TikTok fame ] put me on to the square-toe Havianas, but I could never justify the regular price for a pair of rubber flip flops. For $15, I'm all about it. Lancome Lash Idole Mascara: "I thought it was time to stock up on my favorite mascara. I rebuy it every time I see it at least 40% off." Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam EX, 200ml (I0088602): "I've been using the same Clinique face wash for 15 years, I still love it and feel like I'm cheating on her, but I'm curious to try this after our style editor Gabi flagged it as a must-try deal." TONEOF 66" Automatic Tripod: "I've been in the market to buy a new tripod to take better photos for style stories. This one is super portable and should be able to fit in a tote bag." JW PEI Women's Erika Topstitching Lace-Up Ballet Flats: "I thought I'd try the sneaker ballet flat. I think these look so cool, not sure if they're "me" though." JW PEI Women's Helena Pierced Mules: "These mules are absolutely works of art." Hefty Ultra Strong 13 Gallon Trash Bags: "Just so happens it was perfect timing to replace my trash bags as I pulled out the last of mine last week. These smell like a watermelon Jolly Rancher." Anker USB C to USB C Cable: "My MacBook charger looks like it has gone through the ringer. I've had a good experience with Anker products so I thought I'd give it a try." Kasas Smart Plugs: "I've had a few of these over the years, but now I want to add more automation to my house with my lighting. I like that these work with both Google and Alexa (I have both systems) and can track energy consumption." Sojos Sunglasses: "Style editor Samantha Crozier wrote about these for Prime Day. After looking at how good she looked in the photos, I'll give these tiny frames a try." A bunch of random stuff from Amazon Haul. Jaclyn did a deep dive on Amazon's Temu-like store, and purchased a bunch of crap — er, I mean — stuff along the way. Sarah's Prime Day wish list As our team's resident night owl and evening shift editor, Sarah is well acquainted with deal event delirium and way more cogent than the rest of us. Accordingly, her wish list items are probably the most reasonable of the bunch: A cute personal trimmer "I cheaped out on a no-name brand personal trimmer last year, and it forced me to reckon with a hard truth: you really get what you pay for when you buy a $10 trimmer. Its power and form factor have been disappointing, so I'm super excited to hop on this Prime Day Meridian Slimmer Trimmer deal per my close friend's recommendation. I'm superficial, and I love it when a product comes in a cute color. I'm smitten with this light blue, well-reviewed tool, and I'm excited about its waterproof design and variable length combs. Also, as our deals editor, I can resist seeing a rarely-discounted product down to an all-time low." Side note from Lauren: Now I want this, too. Our top fish oil for dogs "I try to give my dogs the best of the best, so of course I'm using Prime Day to stock up on the top pick in our guide to the best fish oils for dogs. I've already blasted through two bottles of this stuff after giving it to my three dogs daily with their meals; it's not something I can expect immediate results from, but I rest easy knowing I'm supplementing them with omega fatty acids beneficial for their long-term health. It sees sales somewhat regularly, but $20 matches the previous lowest price it's hit before." "As I mentioned above, I have three dogs, and that means a lot of cleaning up after them. Every major sales event I cover, whether it's Prime Day or Black Friday, I pick up another box of these poop bags. I love using deal holidays to buy products I'll need to buy regardless, since it's saving me money on an inevitable purchase, even if it's only 15% off." A cartridge-free color printer "I've wanted a color printer for a while, and after seeing the rave reviews of TikTokers on Epson's EcoTank printers, I knew I would be getting one. I've been keeping an eye on this budget model's price for months now, so once I saw it drop $100 for Prime Day, I jumped on it. So far, I'm pleased with the printing — it's nothing super special or photo-quality, but it does good enough for the price. Refilling the ink is super simple, and I'm excited to get some projects going over the coming months." A durable bottle-opening fish "No joke, my last fish-shaped bottle opener fell off the shelf and broke. I got this one, and it looks pretty sweet and durable. Now, it lives on my keys, displaying my love for my pet fish, the sport of fishing, and a good fish dinner." Shopping for more discounts tonight?
