Wes Anderson on the set of

Wes Anderson and his level of twee is not for everyone. There are apparently viewers who don't like their comedies brimming with quirky charm, deadpan absurdity, and perfectly balanced cinematography. For them, Rob Schneider is probably still making movies somewhere. But for the rest of us who do appreciate Anderson's particularly particular brand of cinema, there's plenty to love across 30 years

At the Google I/O 2025 event on May 20, Google announced the release of Veo 3, a new AI video generation model that makes 8-second videos. Within hours of its release, AI artists and filmmakers were showing off shockingly realistic videos. You may have even seen some of these videos in your social media feeds and not realized they were artificially generated.

Apple MacBook Pro 13.3

TL;DR: Score a refurbished Apple MacBook Pro (i5 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) with a Touch Bar, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD for just $424.97 (reg. $1,499) through July 20 at 11:59 PM PT.


You need a computer that handles your day-to-day tasks without a fuss — something reliable, fast, and built to be mobile.

Whether you’re answering emails, editing documents, streaming videos, or hopping on Zoom calls, this refurbished Apple MacBook Pro (i5 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) can keep up. You can get it for just $424.97 (reg. $1,499) through July 20.

Built for real-world performance

This model features a 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive. It’s perfect for work, school, or casual use, and the 13.3-inch Retina display gives you a vibrant, high-resolution screen to make everything look sharp.

One standout feature you won’t find on recent Macs? The Touch Bar replaces traditional function keys with smart, app-specific controls. You’ll also get Touch ID for quick logins and secure purchases.

Refurbished and ready to go

This is a Grade A refurbished MacBook Pro, which means it’s been professionally cleaned and tested, and arrives in near-mint condition. You might see some minimal wear, but functionally, it’s like buying new, without the steep price tag.

And since this is an older model, you actually get more ports than some of the newer MacBooks. That means fewer dongles and more convenience when plugging in accessories or external drives.

There’s a limited stock, so grab this MacBook Pro for $424.97 before July 20 at 11:59 PM PST.
