androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-10 08:40:43

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile is reportedly offering customers free bill credits to reward them for their loyalty. The offers can reportedly be claimed by contacting T-Mobile’s customer service representatives. The initiative seems to be aimed at long-time customers looking to switch carriers. While Verizon is disappointing its long-time customers by cutting loyalty discounts, T-Mobile seems to have a new trick up its sleeve to retain loyal customers from switching carriers.

‘Gags the Clown’ Leans Into an Urban Legend That Maybe Wasn’t a Legend

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-11 08:42:29

It’s been nearly a decade since an outbreak of clown sightings frightened people, first in the U.S. and then later across the globe. A clown in the right context isn’t necessarily scary, but a random clown just appearing with no obvious purpose is horror movie material. And, in fact, some of the creepy clown epidemic of 2016 can be traced back to Gags the Clown, a found-footage indie that turned some clever grassroots marketing into a stunt that went viral. Gags the Clown came out in 2018, whic

For a few years in my 20s and 30s, I was contracted to play music on street corners for half-marathon runners in Austin, Texas. When the site I was assigned didn’t have an outlet available, I had to rent a gas generator (on the organizers’ dime)—a loud, heavy bastard of a machine that was a physical struggle to get started.
