Recent estimates approximate that there are 16.4 billion Google searches per day globally. A huge portion of those searches is for people’s names. Of those names, many are likely public figures, like Lionel Messi, Sabrina Carpenter, or any number of politicians doing something nefarious. But a great many of the name searches are ostensibly for normies. Maybe even you. Definitely me, based on the deluge of spam calls I get.

DeleteMe was founded in 2010 and claims to be one of the oldest companies in data removal. Services like DeleteMe and its competitor Incogni work by contacting data brokers on your behalf and getting them to remove your personal information, including your current and past mailing addresses, your phone numbers, and your email address. Theoretically, this process removes you from annoying marketing lists and makes it harder for randos to find you. I’ve used DeleteMe since January, and while it’s not a silver bullet for ensuring the complete absence of unwanted communication from strangers and scammers, it seems to have helped with the number of unsolicited marketing calls I get. It also helped clean up personal info from my Google results, so you’re more likely to read an old article I wrote than see where I live.

I have also used Incogni, where I managed an account for my elderly mother. She got similar results, which is to be expected, says DeleteMe executive Jason Dalrymple. Services like DeleteMe and others “all basically do the same thing,” he says. “We’re bound by the same laws and constraints in compliance. It’s a cat-and-mouse game.”

That’s because the degree to which data brokers need to cooperate with the requests of deletion companies is legally murky, given that there’s no comprehensive federal law in the US that regulates the way private companies can use personal data. Rather, most regulations are at the state level, where protections are varied (I live in Missouri, where I feel lucky to have running water). Some states, like California, have more protections, while many states have none. Regardless of where you live, data brokers aren’t necessarily just going to delete your information upon request. They may request further verification of your identity before complying and confirming the request was granted, they may deny the request, and they may ignore the request completely—all actions that require follow-up correspondence with the deletion service.

With DeleteMe and Incogni, you can track progress via a dashboard that provides an at-a-glance update on how many removal requests have been made and fulfilled. A few more clicks will show you specifics on each broker, though most of these will be unfamiliar to typical users. The main difference I noticed between DeleteMe and Incogni is that the former’s dashboard doesn’t update as often as the latter’s and also doesn’t show as many brokers being contacted.

I prefer the Incogni dashboard because it’s satisfying and reassuring to log in every few days and see that the company is crawling the web and busting brokers, each of which it rates based on their speed and general compliance. There are constant status updates for thousands of websites. DeleteMe, on the other hand, creates a report every few months showing progress on a smaller number of sites. Dalrymple argues that his company’s surgical approach is a feature, not a bug.

Handheld Mini Fan

This is one of WIRED editor Kat Merck’s top handheld fan picks. It’s small (and cheap) but mighty, with two blades that produce a strong breeze at 472 feet per minute and a quiet noise level (44 dB on low), and it’s lightweight at only 4 ounces. Plus, it’s basically a camping or outdoor adventure Swiss Army knife, doubling as a flashlight and portable power bank. At only $12, you’ll be happy you carried this during your next summer adventure.

Thanks to Prime Day, it’s now on sale for $74.99 at Amazon for Prime members, matching its best price to date. The streamer usually retails for $99.99, making this a $25 discount. If you don’t subscribe to Prime, it’s just $5 more at Best Buy and direct from Google.

Temperatures may be soaring, but there’s an unseasonable chill on screens right now—at least when it comes to some of the movie offerings hitting streaming services this month.

Director Yorgos Lanthimos delivers a twisted take on Frankenstein in Poor Things on Netflix, while Shudder digs up painful family secrets and adds a side of demonic possession in The Voices of Our Mother. If you fancy some summer scares that are a bit more Halloween-grade, Netflix also has I Am Frankelda, a mesmerizing tour of a world of monsters and living nightmares, brought to life in stunning stop-motion.

There are also plenty of retro delights surfacing on streamers this month that are more than worth a rewatch. Hulu reinstalls Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which lands very differently in 2026; Criterion Channel is declassifying Sean Connery’s first outings as 007, with Dr. No, From Russia With Love, and Goldfinger coming to the specialist platform; and Prime Video brings all three Bill & Ted films back to the future (sorry).

Here are WIRED’s picks of the best movies to watch right now.

I Am Frankelda

A gorgeous stop-motion animated outing from Mexico—the country’s first such feature—this supernatural tale follows Francisca Imelda (Mireya Mendoza in both the original Spanish and the English dub), an aspiring young author in late 1800s Mexico with a penchant for the fantastic and the macabre. Taken to the monstrous world of Topus Terrentus by the winged Prince Herneval (Arturo Mercado Jr. in Spanish, Claudis Bridgeforth in English), Francisca is charged with becoming the realm’s new “nightmare teller,” responsible for crafting the tales of terror that its denizens live on. The only problem is the role is already filled, and power-hungry incumbent Procustes (Luis Leonardo Suárez; Mark Lewis), a demonic spider, doesn’t take kindly to being replaced. An exquisitely crafted, visually astounding masterpiece, imagine a mix of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Pan’s Labyrinth, and Alice in Wonderland and you’re almost on the way to conceiving the darkly captivating magic of I Am Frankelda.

Poor Things

If the arrival of Bugonia on Netflix last month left you wanting more from the delightfully deranged pairing of director Yorgos Lanthimos and actor (and producer!) Emma Stone, look no further than Poor Things. Mad scientist Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) has spent years building a personal menagerie of stitched-together animal chimeras, but his latest and greatest success is his “daughter” Bella (Stone). A reanimated dead woman implanted with the brain of the fetus she was carrying, Bella has a childlike disposition but rapidly learns and evolves, especially under the tutelage of Baxter’s student Max McCandles (Ramy Youssef). However, one sexual awakening later and Bella is a runaway on a whistle-stop tour of Europe with lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), running into remnants of her (or her body’s) old life, all while delving into newfound philosophies. Based on the novel of the same name by Scottish author Alasdair Gray, this surreal and darkly comedic reimagining of Frankenstein is peak Lanthimos—a visually lavish, almost indescribable strange experience.

Bill & Ted Trilogy

William “Bill” S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) might appear to be regular teen slackers in 1988, but by 2688 they’re revered as the Great Ones, the music of their band Wyld Stallyns inspiring a utopian future through the divine principle of being excellent to each other. Humanity might not be quite there yet, but here in 2026, both the original time-traveling comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and its 1991 sequel Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey—which sees the pair killed by their own futuristic robot duplicates before battling Death himself—are definitely firm cult favorites.

I’ve been a Verizon customer since T-Mobile and Sprint merged, and I’ve always had consistent luck getting solid service, even in crowded environments and intense weather. This year, I moved states and added on Verizon Home Internet, which has also been a positive experience and is cost-effective since I get to bundle it. I already have the most expensive Verizon service plan. I also bought a new device, added a cellular plan for my Apple Watch, got YouTube Premium along with Hulu and Spotify … there’s a good chance that I’m paying my power bill through Verizon and I just haven’t realized it yet. (The last part is a joke.)

Verizon just announced the new Verizon Simplicity Plan meant to reward loyal customers like me and make all these bits and pieces feel a bit less confusing. At $45 (with autopay and not including taxes and fees), it’s priced like an entry-level plan but offers top-tier network service, plus access to perks usually reserved for premium plans, like travel passes and discounted bundled streaming services. There’s also a new rewards program with cash back and Monday freebies. The new Simplicity plan just launched today, so I checked it out. Spoiler alert: I ended up deciding to switch up my service plan as a result.

Verizon Simplicity

Verizon Simplicity is a phone plan that costs $45 per month per line (or $30 per month per line with a switch discount for eligible mobile customers who switch to Verizon). That base price gets you 5G phone service with unlimited data, talk, and text; international roaming and satellite texting; 10 gigabytes of mobile hot spot data; plus Verizon Dollars, call filtering, and Verizon Family (a parental controls app). You might be able to bring your own phone, too. If you enroll in Verizon Loyalty, you won’t have to deal with any activation or upgrade fees, either.

After you get that baseline down, you can also add bundles to your line. For example, the Movie Lovers bundle adds on Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ (with ads) and Netflix and HBO Max (with ads) for $23 a month. Those services would cost $40 per month purchased separately. Families might want to check out the bundles that come with Apple Music or YouTube Premium, plus Verizon Family Plus, for an extra $20 per month rather than $31. Another bundle gives you Google AI Pro, a 100-GB mobile hot spot, and a second phone number for $30 per month instead of $75.

These bundles are especially enticing if you would be paying for these services separately anyway. (To get the streaming services without ads, you have to do it through each service, which I have yet to figure out.) Especially when phone bills can feel so complex, I like how simple this option is, and I’m going to be switching as soon as I finish writing this story. There’s also a new bundle, Verizon One, which combines your mobile service and home internet for $70 per month with Auto Pay when you bring your own device, on one bill, taxes and fees included. Alas, I am not a new customer, so I can’t get in on it. It seems like an excellent deal if you’re paying for those services separately and you’re bringing your own device.

Verizon Dollars and Verizon Shine

Verizon Dollars are basically 3 percent cash back that you’ll get when you pay your bill, including on the cost of perks and other add-ons—not just your phone service. Verizon Dollars can be redeemed on gift cards, device purchases, products from the Verizon Store, and other third-party offerings. This program starts in July. So far, examples of stores where you can redeem Verizon Dollars include Sephora, Hilton, Marriott, and Starbucks.

There’s also Verizon Shine, which has different giveaways you can enter each Monday as well as “daily drops” and access to special seating and tickets for live events. This is a lot like T-Mobile’s popular Tuesday in-app promos, which occasionally feature great giveaways that have resulted in mogging Wingstop. Old-head Verizon customers like me will remember that the company used to have a rewards program where you could snag coffee shop gift cards and other similar items, so I’m happy to see something similar make a return. In the past, these items would get claimed very quickly, so I’m curious to see how fast this week’s drops go: free $5 Starbucks gift cards, FIFA wine tumblers and water bottles, and other merchandise. Right now, Verizon Shine’s Epic Win Monday giveaway winner will get to attend the FIFA World Cup finale with David Beckham. Not too shabby.

Verizon says future rewards will include items and/or gift cards from Amazon, Ulta, Dunkin’, Topgolf, and more. I wouldn’t say that checking my phone service app has been a high priority of mine thus far in my life, but I love free stuff, so apparently I’m going to be hanging out in the Verizon app on Mondays going forward.

All in all, I think these offerings are worth checking out whether you’re an existing Verizon customer or a potential new one. Any chance to save money is a win in my book. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a free gift card to claim.

In the days leading up to the 2026 World Cup, the streamer IShowSpeed—one of the most watched people on the planet, who occasionally moonlights as a rapper—released the music video “World Cup (Champions),” a song about flexing national pride where he mentions all 48 teams.

As with everything the 21-year-old born Darren Watkins Jr. does, the video was instantly everywhere. The song racked up over 7 million views on YouTube in under 24 hours. The internet rushed to christen it as the anthem of the tournament, even though the World Cup already has one. FIFA, following a ridiculous outpouring from fans and perhaps realizing the massive instant exposure he could bring, added the song to its official album.

That is the power of Speed—a one-man, always-on media network.

Speed started posting on YouTube as a teenager in 2017. But it wasn’t until the Covid-19 lockdowns, in 2020, that the Cincinnati, Ohio, native committed to streaming full-time. His passion for soccer, particularly his admiration for his favorite player, Cristiano Ronaldo, shaped his earliest broadcasts, where he played FIFA and NBA 2K as people watched along. His virality came thanks to the kind of scream-laden occasionally controversial antics the internet loves, but over time Speed ditched the stereotypical streamer playbook. The future of his brand existed outside of his bedroom.

As his audience expanded, so did his mission. Streamers succeed by getting fans to sit and watch. Speed doesn’t. The goal, he tells me, is to become a conduit of inspiration to his nearly 55 million subscribers. When he started engaging with people beyond his computer screen, it gave him purpose. He wants his audience to have that too. So in 2024 he leveled up and started recording travelogues from various countries, turning his stream into a global group chat where he introduced his young audience to different cultures. He has raced a cheetah in South Africa. Sparred with Manny Pacquiao in the Philippines. Was mobbed by fans in Jamaica and Barbados. While in Indonesia, he hit 1 million concurrent live viewers, making him the first English-speaking streamer since the Chandrayaan-3 moon landing to break the record on YouTube. Last year, he embarked on a monthlong, nonstop livestream tour across 25 US states, never once turning the camera off, even while asleep.

His rise intersects with a complete transformation in how sports are consumed. Linear television is dead. Streaming services struggle to retain viewers turned off by rising costs. People are their own media platforms now. Few have pulled that transition off with more daring—and reach—than Speed, who is basically inseparable from soccer’s global storytelling apparatus at this point. For generations Z and Alpha, he is practically ESPN.

For this year’s World Cup, Speed is bringing his love of the game to stream from different host cities. FIFA estimates the 2026 cup will draw more than 6 billion total viewers globally across the tournament’s month-plus of play. Speed’s livestreams, no doubt, will add even more eyes to that number.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

JASON PARHAM: You got into the game early, but now everyone wants to be a streamer or a podcast host. Is your level of fame still attainable?

ISHOWSPEED: It’s possible. Obviously, I have played a big, big role in this current generation of streaming, but years from now there are going to be people who are better at it than I was. There’s a big history behind it, with YouTube and Twitch, but the industry is still being born.

What defines your generation?

I am part of the first generation of media streamers. We are the mainstream. I mean, I would say a channel with 50 million subscribers is 100 percent a network. Even a channel with 1 million subs or 500—that’s the reason why streaming is so popular. This industry is a game, but at the end of the day, you can’t beat anybody else. I have to keep continuing to get better with who I am.
