Jeff Bezos is going to create schools where ‘the child is the customer’
A year after asking for suggestions on philanthropy, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is unveiling his first projects. The highlight will be the creation of a network for nonprofit preschools that are to be built in low-income communities and accept students at no charge.
Bezos also intends to fund existing nonprofits that help homeless families by providing access to housing and food. Both initiatives will be overseen by something he’s calling the Bezos Day One Fund, which he’s committing $2 billion toward.
Each of the initiatives will have a specific group behind it: the Day 1 Families Fund and the Day 1 Academies Fund. The Families Fund will issue grants on a yearly basis to organizations doing “needle-moving work.” The Academies Fund will…
US carriers introduce Project Verify to replace individual app passwords
Four major US carriers — AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon — are joining forces to launch a single sign-on service for smartphones. The service, called Project Verify, authenticates app logins so that users don’t need to memorize passwords for all their apps. The companies say their solution verifies users through their phone number, phone account type, SIM card details, IP address, and account tenure. Essentially, your phone serves as the verification method with details that are hard to spoof.
Users have to manually grant apps permission to use Verify, and it works similarly to how you might log into some services through Gmail or Facebook instead of using a unique account password. Of course, these apps also have to choose to work…
The first teaser for Netflix’s Sabrina asks, ‘What if Riverdale, but also Satan?’
On October 26th, Netflix will release the first season of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, its Teen Vogue-meets-The Craft spin on the Archie Comics teenage witch, and now we have the first teaser. In case you were unclear about what “dark coming-of-age story” meant when Netflix first announced the series, the minute-long clip is here to assure you that, yes, this show will be gunning for a Satanic Panic revival to call its own.
The series, which stars Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) as the titular orphaned daughter of a warlock and a human, begins with Sabrina Spellman’s 16th birthday on the horizon, a milestone for witch-kind in which, like a demonic bat mitzvah, every witch or warlock must participate in a ritual that includes signing your…

Christina Aguilera Says She Caused Blowup Between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj
As we all know, Cardi B tried to fight Nicki Minaj at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party last week, where she tried to bitch-slap the Chun-Li rapper and threw her shoe across the room, but Nicki was like “Nah, girl. I’m good,” and Cardi ended up getting kicked out of the party after getting whacked on the head.
Apparently, the catfight was Cardi confronting Nicki for allegedly talking shit about her baby and telling other artists not to work with her. But Christina Aguilera—who was performing at the event when the fight happened—thinks she started the fight.
Okay, Xtina.
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the singer jokingly said she heard the fight break out as she was performing her song “Fighter,” and said it was “so appropriate. I was like, ‘Oh, my God! That’s genius! My music makes people feel…it’s invoking passion!'”
She also added that Cardi must have gotten a little too excited when she heard her “Migos version of ‘Genie in a Bottle.'” You know, because her husband, Offset, is in the group.
What the hell does a “Migos version” mean? Did she rewrite the lyrics to “Genie in a Bottle” and make it about weed?
Anyway, even though she’s only joking about starting the fight, she should stay out of it completely unless she wants to be the next one dodging a shoe.
