Netflix just made it easier to stan their shows
Stan culture rejoice! Netflix announces a new feature that lets viewers save and share clips from the content they watch on their phones.
A new era of fandom has entered the villa: Netflix will now let you save and reshare your favorite scenes directly to your friend and followers. That’s right. No more black screens or scrounging the timeline for ripped clips to share to your stan account, the app will do it for you.
Introduced to iOS users exclusively on the Netflix app, the new Moments feature allows users to pause their content, save a clip of what they just watched to their account (to revisit over and over again, of course), and then share to external social media platforms, group chats, you name it. Saved Moments will live under the “My Netflix” tab, and media rewatches will begin wherever you last saved a Moment. The feature will be added for Android users in the coming weeks, the company said.
Fans at large have turned clip sharing into an economy of its own. As a popular way to evangelize your favorite shows, movies, or actors to the greater public, started by the mid-2000s GIF obsession, clip sharing has taken over apps like TikTok and Twitter on dedicated clip farming accounts that rake in millions of views. Until now, attempts to screen record or screenshot Netflix content have been fully blocked by the site, leaving most of the internet’s beloved fancam makers and stan accounts at the whim of ripped illicit recordings of their favorite media.
The company will also release a celebrity video series featuring Netflix stars going over their favorite scenes. “You know that feeling when a scene, character, or line from a show or movie just sticks with you,” Netflix chief marketing officer Marian Lee shared with Variety, “And you can’t help but text your friends, ‘You have to watch this, it’s so good!?’ Our new campaign is all about celebrating these unforgettable moments, taking you back to the feeling you had when you first became obsessed with a great show on Netflix.”
The new feature may be a calculated advertising move for Netflix itself, with viral clips often dictating public interest in both new and old media.
But as some rejoiced, other users were quick to point out the irony of Netflix finally allowing a (monitored) version of content sharing, while at the same time cracking down on password sharing, striking its most affordable plans, and erasing digital content — including originals — from its platform.

If you’re into football and have some free time on your hands, Amazon has some pretty good deals on EA Sports games right now, including College Football 25, Madden NFL 24, and Madden NFL 25.
As of Oct. 28, you can score $30 off Madden 25, bringing the price down to $39.99. This is a sweet deal on a game that came out this spring. Even if you’re not a huge football fan, this game is worth checking out at least once. (It’s available to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC gamers.)
“The gameplay in this year’s Madden is a more refined experience, a culmination of previous work by EA Orlando within the Frostbite Engine,” Mashable’s General Assignments Editor, Chance Townsend, writes in his review. “When stacked against the recently released College Football 25, which emphasizes fast and flashy gameplay, Madden 25 adopts a more cerebral, methodical pace that captures the essence of the pro game,” adding, “It genuinely feels like EA Orlando has perfected their use of the Frostbite engine’s animations.”

Stephen King confirms he’s working on a new Dark Tower story, but don’t get excited just yet
Stephen King has confirmed that he’s working on a new story set in The Dark Tower universe.
The Dark Tower has been on Stephen King’s mind for months now.
After weeks of dropping hints on X (formerly Twitter) over the summer, the horror master finally said what a new story set in the universe of his eight-book series might look like — and now he’s confirmed that he’s actually got something in the works.
“I’m back in Mid-World…and the Territories,” wrote King over the weekend. “Don’t know if it will develop into anything–I never know–but it’s good to be back.”
Obviously there’s not much to go on there. We don’t know what the length of this new story might be (it could be a short or a full-length novel), or really anything about the plot. But King does mention “The Territories“, which feature in both the main series and King’s other novels that he co-authored with Peter Straub, The Talisman and The Black House.
Of course, we also don’t know if this story will ever actually see the light of day. King’s post makes it clear that he’s in the early stages, and isn’t even sure if it will “develop into anything.” But for fans of The Dark Tower, even the possibility of a return to Roland Deschain’s world is exciting news.
