Bryant: 'No excuses' for no 2nd title but 'proud' of core originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago MILWAUKEE — When Kris Bryant got to the visitors clubhouse in Milwaukee his Cubs past immediately hit him in the face. Not because the Giants were playing so close to Chicago or even that two familiar media faces were there to rehash his departure, exactly one week earlier when a rare Cubs championship era snuffed out in a 24-hour flurry of trades. “It’s weird sitting here on a Friday and watching the Cubs play at 1:20,” Bryant said of the Cubs-Sox game playing on the clubhouse TV. “Looking at the lineup and trying to figure out who’s who and stuff like that. Seeing them on TV is kind of surreal.” The last time Bryant was in Milwaukee, Cubs were blowing a seven-run lead on the way to getting swept during an 11-game losing streak, and he was on the team hitting bottom. “Things just kind of unraveled quickly.  » Read More

By Taylor Lorenz New York Times Six years ago, Lindsey Lee Lugrin, a budding social media creator and model, was given the chance to be featured in a Marc by Marc Jacobs ad campaign. She was paid $1,000. Lugrin was thrilled. But after seeing her face plastered on billboards and in ads across the internet, she realized she had undervalued herself. As she spoke with more influencers, who create social media posts for brands in exchange for payment or a cut of advertising fees, Lugrin became aware of other pay disparities. Male creators earned an average of $476 per post and women $348, according to an analysis last year by Klear, an influencer marketing platform. Lugrin, now 30, was determined to change that. So in June, she and Isha Mehra, 25, a former Facebook data scientist, introduced an app with an unprintable name: F*** You Pay Me. It functions as a kind of Glassdoor for influencers, where creators can leave reviews of brands they have worked with, share ad rates and give and get other crucial information for negotiating sponsored content deals.  » Read More

Bazile describes it is as so:This was literally born of Clubhouse . I met ten filmmakers from all over the world at 5 am in a Clubhouse room and promised them that my company Screen Anthology (Michael Galvan, Scott Norvell and myself) would produce their ten-minute short films to be part of a horror anthology. That was four months ago.Four months ago, a seed of an idea was born amongst ten filmmakers who met virtually within the app. Today, we have a true blue trailer to share with you.
