    MAGA-Branded 'Freedom Phone' Is a Black Box That Should Be Avoided at All Costs
    https://gizmodo.com/maga-branded-freedom-phone-is-a-black-box-that-should-b-1847299215
    Be it Parler, Gab, or GETTR, recent times have seen no shortage of dollar-sign-eyed entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on conservative America’s disdain for “liberal” Silicon Valley. It was only a matter of time before someone tried to invent the MAGA phone. Er, make that...the “Freedom Phone.” The device, which launched Thursday, is the product of Erik Finman, a 22-year-old crypto-millionaire who says that he wants America’s patriots to take “back control” of their lives from the tech oligarchy. Finman’s phone, which costs $499, claims to offer conservatives a way to be free of Big Tech’s “spying” and “censorship”—though it is radically vague on the details. Like a random handgun, the phone should be treated as if it were loaded and dangerous because we simply don’t know what’s in the chamber.

    Two A&M football players to net $10,000 for exclusive interviews
    https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/college/article/Two-A-M-football-players-to-net-10-000-for-16320889.php
    A real estate company is paying a pair of Texas A&M football players $10,000 each for exclusive interviews at an event hosted by a fan website. The site, TexAgs.com, announced on Friday it was “hosting an NIL event sponsored by GreenPrint Real Estate Group” featuring running back Isaiah Spiller and safety Demani Richardson and promoting exclusive interviews. The event comes just two weeks after a new state law and NCAA guidelines went into effect that allow college athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL). Typically, interviews with college athletes are arranged through a school’s sports information department and are unpaid. News organizations like the Houston Chronicle don’t pay for interviews or access.

    Marvel and DC’s “Shut-Up Money:” Comic Creators Go Public Over Pay
    https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/marvel-and-dcs-shut-up-money-comic-creators-go-public-over-pay-1234983043/
    Marvel fans were flying high with the release of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as the Disney+ series rose to top Nielsen’s closely watched streaming chart with 855 million minutes viewed during the April 12-18 frame. Yet one person fans were surprised to learn wasn’t watching was Ed Brubaker. The comic book writer, who co-created the Winter Soldier character and whose work helped inspire $1 billion grossers like 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, made waves with a widely circulated interview in which he expressed dissatisfaction with his Winter Soldier pay. “I have made more on SAG residuals than I have made on creating the character,” Brubaker told Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin on the Fatman Beyond podcast, referencing his cameo in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). In May, Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose run on Black Panther comics helped the $1.2 billion- grossing Chadwick Boseman film get greenlit, backed Brubaker in an interview with Polygon, noting that he was fortunate not to depend on comics for a living. “I wish that Marvel found better ways to compensate the creators who helped make Black Panther Black Panther,” said Coates.

    More sex. Fewer fights. Has the pandemic actually been good for relationships?
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/11/couples-relationships-pandemic-romance
    Despite the many stressors that the pandemic introduced, lockdowns and social distancing provided a reprieve from the hectic pace of ordinary life. Suddenly, people were afforded more quality time with their partners than they may have ever had before – which probably contributed to more intimacy in relationships.

    Democrats Reject Criticism Of Child Tax Credit Accessibility For The Poorest Americans
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/child-tax-credit-portal-democrats_n_60f1ab9de4b00ef8761bf2d1
    Congressional Democrats, however, don’t want to hear it. Asked on Thursday why the government hasn’t fixed accessibility issues with the online portal, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer rejected the notion with a forceful response: “No.” “It’s a very simple way to file,” the New York Democrat told HuffPost. “I went on the website myself. It’s very simple and easy to do as long as your kids have a social security number, whether you are a citizen or have an [Individual Taxpayer Identification Number], go to the website.” It’s not clear how Schumer, who famously still uses a flip phone, tried to access the nonfiler portal. When HuffPost attempted to sign onto the portal with a mobile device, text stretched across the screen, making it difficult to use. The site also contained tax language that legal aides say is hard for many to understand.
