Been following the whole Try Guys situation with Ned Fulmer? So have Saturday Night Live writers, who apparently think the drama that’s befallen the popular YouTube prankster group and their former fellow members have crossed into melodrama terrain.

A skit from Saturday’s episode parodies a video in which the three remaining members of The Try Guys respond to former fellow Try Guy Fulmer being asked to leave the team after getting caught cheating on his wife with an employee.

The Try Guys — who have 8 million subscribers on YouTube — are so named for filming wacky stunts like trying on celebrity lingerie, drawing nude self-portraits and getting extremely stoned. Their actual video response to Fulmer being let go was intense, with a somber, emotional Keith Habersberger, Eugene Lee Yang and Zach Kornfeld going into more detail about the initial incident, the internal review involving HR and legal teams and the process that led to the departures.

In that video, posted earlier this week, the trio shares that Fulmer is being digitally excised from videos and removed from Try Guys merchandise. “We can’t talk about the details of the review, but suffice to say that Ned had engaged in conduct unbecoming of our team,” Habersberger says.

The SNL version kicks up the intensity a few dozen notches, with a CNN reporter played by Ego Nwodim appearing flummoxed about why The Try Guys are making headlines, and especially why a segment on President Biden’s Ukraine stance has to get interrupted to

For some, Amazon Music’s big Prime expansion comes with big frustrations

This week, Amazon announced that it would open up its entire catalog of streaming music to Prime subscribers instead of the limited, downsized library they’d previously had access to. The number skyrocketed from 2 million songs up to 100 million. On its face, that sounds like great news. Who wouldn’t want more songs without spending anything extra on top of their Prime subscription? Normally, you’d need to pay separately for Amazon Music Unlimited to get the same enormous selection.

But it turns out there are people who are very angry about the changes that Amazon made in the course of beefing up its catalog for Prime customers. As a total, lifelong music geek, I can relate to anyone freaking out because a service they were familiar with suddenly revised the rules and started working differently than it did just days earlier. In this case, Amazon has made significant changes to the Prime tier of Amazon Music several years after subscribers had grown accustomed to its benefits.

Not everyone’s disappointed. I’ve read many “this is great” responses across social media from those who tend to use Amazon Music for background music or casual listening. A ton of people ask Alexa to hear a certain artist on their Echo speaker, often caring little about whatever song might come up.

Still, Prime customers are yet again being reminded that they never truly own anything with streaming services, and everything can change on a dime. On the flip side, Amazon Music is learning the

Tuesday Will Bring a ‘Blood Moon’ Total Lunar Eclipse: How to See It

| Computer, Computers

A “blood moon” total lunar eclipse will be visible in the US on Election Day this Tuesday. It’s difficult to tell at this point whether that’s a foreboding omen or a sign of providence.

Skywatchers in parts of Europe and Asia got to see a partial solar eclipse last month, but that was just the first half of “eclipse season,” which concludes with the Nov. 8 eclipse that will be visible from North America.

The four seasons, as you likely know, have to do with the tilt of the Earth on its axis and the Northern and Southern Hemispheres’ orientation toward the sun. But eclipse seasons have to do with where the moon lines up between Earth and the sun.

Every 173 days, for a little over a month, our big natural satellite passes through the ecliptic, or the path the sun takes through our daytime sky.

“The moon doesn’t orbit in the exact same plane as the sun and Earth do,” NASA explains on its solar system blog. “The time when they are aligned is known as eclipse season, which happens twice a year.”

During an eclipse season, the moon is basically buzzing around between us and the sun, upping the chances it will pass between our planet and the neighborhood star for a solar eclipse or that the Earth will block out the moon for a lunar eclipse. Eclipse seasons typically generate two or three eclipses in less than a 37-day span.

‘Fix your companies. Or Congress will,’ Senator Ed Markey warns Elon Musk

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) told Elon Musk, “Fix your companies. Or Congress will,” after Musk snarkily replied to the senator’s concerns about fake verified accounts on Twitter, and suggested Markey’s real account “sounds like a parody.”

On Friday, Markey sent out a tweet containing a link to a letter he wrote to Musk, criticizing the new $7.99 per month Blue with verification subscription. The letter cites a report from the Washington Post that details how a reporter was able to easily create a fake verified account impersonating Markey and calls on Musk to address the issue. “Twitter must explain how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again,” Markey writes.

Musk’s response? “Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody.” The billionaire followed up with another tweet about an hour later, saying “And why does your pp have a mask?” in reference to the Senator’s profile picture on Twitter that shows him wearing a face covering.

Markey didn’t take too kindly to Musk’s reply and warned that Congress could take action against Musk and his many companies if he doesn’t straighten things out. “One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online,” Marky writes. “Fix your companies. Or Congress will.”

While Markey obviously doesn’t represent all of Congress, the Democrats will keep their control of the Senate following the midterm elections. Markey is also on
